Gib Dice bonus. Also don't care which we take, but we should have a booster that is different from the usual Starcraft of your Mad Scientist blew up a lab. Again.

Jacob is the best pick for boosting our subversive Personal actions, which is where our real long-term goals are. And Victoria gives us a solid +20 on a bunch of projects while having a downside we can manage. And while Smith's downside doesn't seem that big, a -5 to what might be our most important projects (and where failure could have big consequences) isn't a good idea IMO.
 
I hadn't considered that interaction when I thought up the mechanics (and I thought I got them all, damn) but it's valid. Smith's converted nat 100s give 0 net Paranoia instead of the usual -5 from rolling one normally.

The Dominion won't be built by weakling bureaucrats who follow the rules and do what they're told. It'll be built on green gas and blue steel. That's what we need from our Vice-Chancellor, no matter what Arcturus thinks.

Smith doesn't provide any new projects. Don't underestimate the value of more options.

This change means that at 25 total dice Winston is as bad as Archibald for Paranoia and smith loses the intended drawback...

Edit: We have 28 dice now...

I love a good bureaucrat, the rogue on the other hand is useful enough.

I don't like SA-117 because inflexibility and lack of specialization beyond an extra personal die and random reroll. also I'm mildly worried Sally won't do much uh"grow/build" the narrative beside stats?. Much like her in original roll as martial assistant, just in case it comes up.
I'm ok with Jamie Winston and 1 no nat 100 a turn. I'm less ok No Nonsense Smith and implications that we will likely have to work around him in order to Subvert the Plan parts of this quest.

Jacob and Samuel are in the lead with Victoria just behind. Vote still open for those who want to change them.
