I notice Mami is now a +20% diplomacy bonus. Nice.
Bonuses to safety are (remember minuses are good, pluses are bad):
Solo: -11%, (+9% when combined with base)
Pair: -15% (+1% when combined with base)
Pack: -13% (-3% when combined with base)
12x Sets of Kevlar Clothing (-4%)
Vets: -5%
Elites: -15%
Considering our Demon strength situation, I think we just want to combine territories for right now. We can always carve out an area later and drop it quickly to 0% demon strength if we add a lot of greens. If we do get greens, we might want to have them job hunt instead anyways.
[X] Upkeep: 11 Veteran, 7 Green, 1 Associate, -$12,680
[X] Administrative Help
-[X] 1 Vet to replace Mami. This will be Shinobu who is also on call for the anti-poaching group, ready to serve as a teleport of other girls as reinforcements when they locate the poachers.
Hunting Plan:
Total Cost: 12 Vets, 1 Kyouko
Expected Harvest = 39.675 - 1 for Forecasting = about 39 (So net -5 after upkeep, but before grief spirals)
[X] Demon Forcasting: Cost 1 Grief cube, benefit 1.1 times harvest.
[X] Pack Hunting (Main Urban Territory [+10%]): Magical Girls will hunt in groups vastly reducing the danger, but because they are not covering as much area their efficiency is reduced. Death is significantly less likely.
Cost: Variable, specify number of Meguca dedicated; Reward 1.25 Grief Cubes per Meguca assigned; 10% base casualty chance
-[X] 7.5 Vets (With 7 Kevlar Clothing, and 0.5 Vests), and 1 Kyouko = Expected Harvest 27.3 (No Cap) Safety = -1% to -3% chance of injury for the Vets, -9% for Kyouko). Expected change to Demon strength (baring poaching) = -7.85% (final result +2 Demon strength).
Yes I am aware this grossly inefficient. I feel though that we need to make an effort to integrate Kyouko. Solo Hunting will come later, but her first month I want her with other girls. Pairs are no good cause Kyouko might get in a fight with her partner, especially if it's a Kasimono girl. For at least one month, I want Kyouko to experience hunting in a pack.
[X] Dispersed Hunting (Kyouko's territory [-10%]): Magical Girl will individually hunt demons throughout your territory and gather the grief cubes for the central supply. This can be dangerous.
Cost: Variable, specify number of Meguca dedicated; Reward: 2 grief cubes per Meguca assigned. 20% base casualty (significant injury or death) chance.
-[X] 2.5 Veterans w/ 2.5 Kevlar Vests, Expected Harvest = 12.375 (No Cap), Demon strength increase by 10.9 (final result +1), means +5.5 to danger this turn, so with vests the risk is -2% per veteran.
[X] Dispersed Hunting: Magical Girl will individually hunt demons throughout your territory and gather the grief cubes for the central supply. This can be dangerous.
Cost: Variable, specify number of Meguca dedicated; Reward: 2 grief cubes per Meguca assigned. 20% base casualty (significant injury or death) chance.
-[X] Rural: Base modified to 1.5, dispatch bonus does not apply.
-[X] 1 Veteran with both Kevlar clothing (-4%) and vest (-2%) = Expected Harvest 1.8 with -1% chance of injury.
[X] 2nd Year Anniversary Celebration: Singing Concert Edition!
-[X] 2 Vets (Kaoru is one of them), $1000 (Purchasing Karaoke Machine, renting sound equipment, getting a license for the party, food, party incidentals). This was originally going to be something smaller, but after assigning Kaoru to plan it, she started going all out, making requests for money (you had to put her on a budget), and recruiting other girls as backup singers and for a group singing segment. She even asked Mami to sing a solo. (Song list and additional fluff forth coming)
-[X] Mami gives a little speech pointing out that not a single girl died the entire year, and remembering the 4 girls that died during the founding year and helped make the current prosperity possible.
-[X] Akane (magical cook) is in charge of the food.
-[X] Song list ideas here:
Song List 1,
[X] Expand territory 11 and 12, by diplomacy: If you can convince them to join your group you may be able to safely incorporate others' territories.
-[X] Cost: 3 Veterans (1 of whom is Taura), 1 Mami; Reward: Meguca from territory recruited, new territory; Chance of Success: 30% (Mami bonus applicable). 30% + 20% Mami Bonus + 10% scouting bonus = 60% chance. +% bonus from Taura?
-[X] Addon, Bribery: Giving the girls some money might help them realize just how good for them cooperation could be.
Cost: $150 per girl in the territory; Reward: +1d10% success chance: -$1350 for 9 girls
-[X] Invite all 9 of the girls in the territory to come to your anniversary party. Even if they seem hesitant about joining, maybe you can convince them to be friendly.
[X] Expand territory 7, by diplomacy: If you can convince them to join your group you may be able to safely incorporate others' territories.
-[X] Cost: 2 Veterans; Reward: Meguca from territory recruited, new territory; Chance of Success: 30% (Mami bonus applicable). 30% + 50% scouting bonus
-[X] Addon, Bribery: Giving the girls some money might help them realize just how good for them cooperation could be.
Cost: $150 per girl in the territory; Reward: +1d10% success chance: -$150 for one girl.
-[X] Invite the girls in the territory to come to your anniversary party. Even if she seems hesitant about joining, maybe you can convince her with the enjoyment of the party.
[X] Anti-Poaching Group:
-[X] 1 Kyouko, 1 Sora, 1 Taya, 1 Ayako, 1 Taura (2 Stealth, 2 Clairvoyants), all equipped with Kevlar clothing (x5), and also have a Kevlar Vest (x5)
--[X] Find the poaching group, and contact them peaceably. Perhaps help them in their demon hunt and then offer healing if any is needed. (Yes, confuse them with kindness).
-[X] Mami takes Kyouko aside to discuss her plans on how to deal with the poachers. After learning that Mami wants to try a peaceable solution first, Kyouko just looks at her in disbelief. Mami suggests that Yuma is so cute and charming that she thinks the poachers might listen, but if they respond poorly, well, that's why Kyouko is there. They then discuss contingency plans:
---[X] Firmly tell them that they are inside our territory, and that if they are having difficulties hunting in their own territories that Mami would be willing to hear their situation and see if we might be able to help, but that further poaching will not be tolerated. Escort them off our territory, but be friendly about it.
---[X] Assuming they respond violently, beat them down and either capture or kick them out of our territory. Kyouko is allowed to use her judgement on how best to handle it.
--[X] Shinobou, who is working on administrative work, is on call to teleport in any girls that Kyouko thinks would be most useful once the poachers are located.
Plan should allow us to pay down our debt by a little under $2000.
I'm pretty exhausted right now, and should have gone to bed a couple hours ago, so I know this fluff (below) isn't that great. It's pretty rough and awkward, but it gets the point across. I would be happy if anyone gave some suggestions on how to smooth it out. I'll probably update and edit it in the morning.
[X] Additional fluff:
-[X] Take the girls from Kasimono aside to talk with them about Kyouko joining the group. Let them vent about their grievances. Recognize them, and then point out that a lot of girls did things before joining the group that they regret, but did them because they felt they needed to do it to survive. If we punished people for what they did before joining the Serenes there would be a lot of punishment going on for girls without whom the Serene Imperium never would have survived.
-[X] Talk to Kyouko about Pack Hunting, and ask her to learn from the other girls about her to support each other. Mami expects that Kyouko will have some good ideas on how to make the pack hunting even better, so she suggests that Kyouko at first watch and listen first to see why they are doing things the way they are.
[X] Talk to Minako, Akane, Kina, and Hainako separately about what happened. Invite each over for to your apartment for cake and tea at different times so it will be private. Listen carefully and let her explain what happened and vent about whatever she wants. Acknowledge her complaints, and then ask in a gentle voice if it was worth fighting over.
-[X] Was it worth trying to hurt each other? Was it worth $10,000 that we had to borrow to fix the house? Was it worth going into a grief spiral and almost dying? At this point the guilt should be pretty high. Gently tell her that it's okay, everyone survived this time, and you don't want to dwell on the past but rather want to look to the future. Ask each girl for a suggestion on how to avoid these kinds of problems in the future. Also suggest that she should apologize individually to each other girl that went into a grief spiral, and that you want her to apologize to everyone else living in the house for damaging their home. Tell her that you are going to talk to her again in a week and you want to hear a report from her on her apologies.
