It's been brought to my attention that we've forgotten to consider an important factor in the selection of our buildings: cost.

Quote:
 
Once again I'd like to address a concern about the lack of any indication of cost for the new headquarters. I feel there would be a significant difference between a $5 billion spaceship-designed building (Lateralus' proposal) and other structures that either may already exist (Novincia's, yours and Quintopia's proposals), cost less than $1 billion (KaiserAdolf's proposal), or even cost more (both Secretariat proposals).

From what I can tell, cost has not been mentioned; despite it being incredibly important for the selection process.


I think we should explore the considerations put forth by CGJ and address factors such as cost in the selection process. I'm certain that we'll come together and figure out the best way to handle these concerns. :)

We did miss the cost part:P My space circle thingy might not be the best choice budget wise depending on how much we are willing to expense.

Also would we consider upkeep?

In my opinion, if we wanted to consider such mundane things as cost, we wouldn't be RPing. For the record all these buildings will be expensive, as they will be being built new. With that in mind, Lateralus's proposal may be cheaper than Quinntopia's palace.

Based upon the assumption that we are not concerned about cost (which I still disagree with, but I will accept), I shall be voting for the following.

Assembly/Council Building: Lateralus
Secretariat Building: Beatrice
