Well, for one thing, you then don't need the approval of the entire playerbase just to do stuff like this; you only need the approval of the vSOI members. This works for stuff like what you're doing, because all you're doing is manipulating resources within vSOI.
-Well, this is kind of a lot of power for vSOI, and I don't believe Societies can have that kind of effect on the gamestate. This is a double-check, that way. That, and I didn't think of your suggestion and am too lazy to implement it now.-
You can implement a club prop method for vSOI that has its members cast votes for innovation proposals, and where the CEO gets two votes instead of one. It's even better than what you're proposing, because club props automatically get voted for by the club's members.
-But that's not what I'm doing. It's more like one member of vSOI comes up with an idea, we work at it a bit, and if enough people can contribute enough (it's a shaky analogy, but work with it), it'll happen (pass). The 100 points are research costs, the 20 are a bonus for innovation. So I don't see the point of club props. Besides, vSOI doesn't propose.-
