I'm gonna go Swiss if the vote starts to close, it's the only other Cultured option I like.

i will do so as well.
We will be cultural center of the galaxy (or what remains of it), always with top hat

 

[Ghostdevil]

Oh god the only plan I don't want to win is far ahead, that's dandy.

Looks like my favorite is dead and everything similar is tied to dealbreakers.

I share the exact same sentiment. If Plan Swiss Equality does end up winning, all I really would have to say at this point is to wish the QM the best of luck with this.

Well we could always be as xenophobic and militaristic as possible in the quest, eventually contradict our original aspects and hopefully replace them, unfortunately the deal breaker of the plan (for me) is something we can't change easily. The Psionic normalness instead of commonality

 

[qsurf]

Small question.

Why Xenophilic?

I would guess because we want their money.

And how does that compute? You don't need to be xenophillic for that...
Hell we don't even have the trader aspect, so I really don't get the name.

[Ghostdevil]

We still have at least until Monday guys, we can come all together and vote for a compromise that gets at least some of what we all want instead of one that many of us don't want?

 

[qsurf]

Paging @gutza1:
Can you please explain your Plan for a minute? I would like to know if there's anything more to it than what I read as I combing the posts involving it.

Since a culture can be have wonderful arts and literature and be quite welcoming, while being militaristic as well. As that was your main written complaint of other Plans.

Edit:
If this read as me being rude and confrontational, I apologise and would like to state that that was not the case or intent. I'd just like to know.

Edit 2:
For that matter, for others, why the overwhelming focus on Psionic Powers?

 

[Ghostdevil]

@Japanime
Maybe we can edit your plan slightly and compromise with some of the Swiss voters?
That's the only way I can see us winning against the Swiss plan.

 

[Ruirk]

Hmm, I'd like to vote for something that has weird in it and a winning chance as well. Probably too much to ask there at this point.

Psionically Barren means Universal Psionics tech isn't acquirable so even without the psionic fertility it should be acquirable at some point, and it wouldn't be easy to change other traits just possible through play.

Psionically Barren (-1) Mutually exclusive with Psionically Fertile, Locks Universal Psionics technology

To be honest, the mix of Vindictive, Paranoid, and Manifest Destiny rings warning bells for me mentally.

Why?
I mean yea it slates us to war, but that's kinda the point, We don't do something like that ever in quests like this.
