Last time, the subroutine ended when 80 reached 42%. C is currently at 37%. Maybe we have to get it that high again?

So building on my date puzzle solve of 6610, I think green is the answer.
The color percentage on green is 9/75/1. 75-9=66, and then the 1. Itās a weak theory, but just as good as anyone elseās. 
So be seen and vote lime green!

Last time we got a time frame of 12 hours to place our votes.
No given deadline for this procedure, so who knows when it will end.

I think the real point of the exercise is to get the community to come to a concensus. Last time, the voting ended when an answer reached 42% (the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything). I think if we get one to 42% it will end. So we should vote C since it is currently winning.

Consensus necessitates convincing people, and the pink theory doesnāt convince me. Sorry!
At this point thereās no clear answer (except for green!), and I doubt it matters much anyway.

u/LmanDuderino and u/darkgod2611 of the NMS subreddit are saying Joseon in Korean means shipbuilding, BATTLE of hastings, Royal Society (Science/tech), and Turing (AI) are nods towards the update. Seems logical

I like purple better, so Iām with devilinpixy on that one.
That being said, it does seem like a moot point without any reason other than ālets vote C coz itās already aheadā. Even though it might actually be a case of just get a majority on any given option to proceed. If it is though, Iād be disappointed.

Maybe instead of a game-key this time around, we will receive boosts to one of these areas for our own game? That would be really cool! We could be āchoosingā which one we want.
We could also be choosing shirt colors

To go along with the gifts that went out with the cassette tapes, I was also imagining colored socks, lol.
Custom-coloured superluminal socks from the future with black holes in themā¦
ā¦sorry, I appear to need some sleep soon

What if itās a community integrity test, and we need to hit 100% with one of the answers/colors? For highly developed species it is suggested they stay united not divided to achieve great goals. Some speculations about why humans didnāt ādeserveā the interest of highly developed alien species so far might be our problem with working together as a species, thus prefer conflict-related approachesā¦ Just a thoughtā¦

I like your direction of thoughts, but 100% consensus would mean the absolute end of individuality.

I believe it could survive, if the consensus would be applied only to the important decisions like e.g. we go to Mars or Europa (Jupiterās moon), or we allow death-sentence or not and so on.
If we forget about colors and think about starting our first off planet colony I believe we would hit this consensus. So the simple question about which color do you choose could be this integrity-of-mind test.
100% is a mathematical impossibility at this point since others have been voted on and there is no way to retract a vote.

Well, we donāt know for sure, but what if the possibility to vote more times means only to change the vote (notice, on the previous stage 1/3 it was said we have only one chance to vote)?

Again, very good thoughts, imho.
To make that happen, I believe that every single person on this planet needs the same level of knowledge and the same level of influence on a decision. How could this be achieved?
And another question rises up: who determines which decisions are important enough to have a need of 100% consensus?
Percentages updated again.
Option C now at 46%.
We can narrow it to only adults / or even people with more life experience (just think about other rational age threshold), but yes, same knowledge is needed, so we need to educate people, convince them.
I could give a one example of integrity - though, not 100% - the Papal conclave. They vote till one candidate reaches 2/3 of votes. So they vote, discuss, vote again and so on till the 2/3 of votes is reached.
But I know, for now itās a sci-fi, but as any sci-fi it can be achieved one day.
About the color voting, Iāve voted again / changed vote to match with the majority. If we reach 42% and nothing happens, we may assume either the answer matters, or we really need higher level of consensus
