Probably Adorables (note that I'm going by how I envision the societies being, not the ones in the OP). Being able to teleport directly to any place with a mobi would be extremely useful for productivity and a good step towards creating an efficient society. Of course there would be some room for abuse, but I think the alternatives are worse.

If the government were controlled by:

- Scallywags, they would sit around all day never getting anything done and shooting down anyone who tries to approach them with a new idea
- Feedback, they could mind control anyone who disagrees with them
- Veggienauts, they could slowly strangle any political opposition until there is no room left for their opponents to maneuver

Arrows might be a good alternative though. They actively seek out solutions to problems. As long as the arrows don't bring the dots along with them I could see the arrows being a solid choice.

The arrow has the potential to be good at avoiding all the problems though.

Interesting you should say that GoldenGriffin. I actually edited my post, but the original version condemned the arrows as they would "avoid problems and only confront them when the solution is shoved in their faces (in reference to them happening upon powerups)". But yes, you're right and that's part of the reason I dismissed Arrows and chose Adorables.

lol... I feel like I'm actually having a serious discussion here.

The veggienauts would only do that if you attempted to kill nature or harm it in any way. Why would you want to do that in the first place?

No one, except any of the other Outwitters teams, like in the game. All of the teams are against each other.

Quick edit, except in some 2v2 games.
