If any XP is going to be spent, I hope some of it is spent on [ ] Wing the Hawk, just to be safe.
 
I mostly like Lmd's plan, but decided to make a tweak to it, so here's my version.

[X] Plan: Finding Things
-[X] Deal with 'The Resistance' (Hego)
-[X] Update the City Council with Princess CJ (TECHNOR)
-[X] Excavate Chicken Itza (Janna)
-[X] Express Delivery (Wile E. Coyote)
-[X] Investigate Toffee (Agent Russ)
-[X] Investigate the cape scene (Mirage)
-[X] Research Dino Domestication (Dr. Jumba Jookiba)
-[X] Research Adaptive anti-cape AI (Ludivine Von Drake)
-[X] Do a tarot reading (Tobe and the Vagabond Ninja)
-[X] Doofenshmirtz Personal (Chat with the Bossman (Janna))
-[X] Doofenshmirtz Personal (Read your Spellbook)
-[X] Doofenshmirtz Personal (Make up with Roger)
-[X] Doofenshmirtz Personal (Browse online for interesting stories)
-[X] Goofy Personal (Finish your degree online)
-[X] Genghis Khan Personal (Get a social security number)
-[X] Wile E. Coyote Personal (Work for the Bossman (Express Delivery))
-[X] Monogram Personal (Reorganize OWCA)
-[X] Agent Russ Personal (Work for the Good Doctor (Investigate Toffee)
-[X] Dennis the Duck Personal (Search for an Instructor)
-[X] TECHNOR Personal (Work for Dr. Doof (Update the City Council with Princess CJ))
-[X] Max Personal (Bond with Dad)
-[X] Mirage Personal (Work for Dr. Heinz (Investigate the cape scene))
-[X] Vanessa Personal (Go to a rave)
-[X] Janna Personal (Do Stuff for the Doof (Excavate Chicken Itza))
-[X] Dr. Jumba Jookiba Personal (Work for fellow Evil Genius (Research Dino Domestication ))
-[X] Ludivine Von Drake Personal (Work for Dokta Doof (Research Adaptive anti-cape AI))
-[X] Queen Lizzy Personal (Work for the Boss (Try to be sociable))
-[X] Tobe and the Vagabond Ninja Personal (Work for Sensei (Do a tarot reading))
-[X] L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. Personal Action (Set aside money for the auction)
-[X] Don't overclock Technor
-[X] Activate an Inator
 
I'd say Chicken Itza should receive XP priority after Diplomacy and Express Delivery. Express Delivery only has a 56% chance of success without XP. Chicken Itza only has a 70% chance of success without any.
 
Current Plan Differences:
  • Legible has Dennis on the Resistance, Searching has Dennis look for a sensei
  • Legible has TECHNOR on Diplomacy and Goofy on his College, Searching has Goofy on Diplomacy and TECHNOR on Stanley
  • Legible has Tobe on Tarot Reading, Searching has Tobe looking for a sensei
  • Legible has Doof on the Detectives, Searching has Doof on Roger
  • Legible has Lizzy being social, Searching has Lizzy share her excavation tech

I think that's simply risking too much and placing too much incompetence on the part of the Federal government.

Russ knows that Oregon is apart of the Masquerade, and Oregon is Bill. They probably don't know that much, but I think it is pretty safe to say that Arizona is apart of the Masquerade.
Remember that the Masquerade in question is "any supernatural or paranormal thing." The Oregon Triangle is a hotbed of paranormal activity in general, so an existing FBI effort to keep the paranormal hidden would logically work to keep people out of it.

But if Toffee is causing nothing unusual to happen in Arizona, and is in fact a paranormal entity who is actively helping to keep paranormal activity a secret... the government wouldn't be keeping everyone out of Arizona.

On the other hand they WOULD be keeping everyone from finding out much of anything about Toffee's paranormal activities... which is a problem from our point of view.

I'd personally prefer it as well
I would also prefer we put Vanessa on job shadowing Doof rather than having her go on a rave.
OK, I'll make the switch when I have time. That may not be for another 3-5 hours, or it may be Real Soon. We'll see.

Aaand done.

Simon_Jester. Maybe you haven't seen my earlier post so I would ask again. Can you switch Hego to Do Good Deeds? The only thing I don't like about your plan is that they don't have anything to counter Doof's Slander and switching Hego to do heroic things in Doofania should shown the populace that at least there are Capes operating under us unlike what Doom had claimed.
I'll switch to your plan if you do.

Not sure it will directly counter dooms propaganda but if he rolls high enough I imagine it could do something in that direction.

Seconding this idea.
 
Thinking on it, there's no difference between plans that I absolutely object to. I'd prefer it if my plan won, certainly, but if need be we can do any of the different actions next turn.

I'm gonna stick to my plan on principle, but otherwise I'd probably swap over.

Also, I'm curious to see what Hego managing Bueno Nacho will do, so I'd like him to do that this turn. Who knows, maybe it'll break his streak of rolling garbage?

I agree, I think Bueno Nacho could be done later as Hego usually is very available for personal actions.
 
[X] Plan: Toon Result's with Media Warfare

Even though it will lose, this appears to be the only plan still going that ACTUALLY has the social media action, so I will take it.

I don't think anyone is actually opposed to doing it so much as they don't want to do it this turn.

If we succeed at both rolls this turn i think its a very good contender for one of next rounds slots.

Edit: barring any new options I'd say moving the castle and social media are the best bets next round. With lovemuffin going for that company with the free action.

That's kinda the worst position for an action to be in. All these CK2-style quests end up having a bunch of actions that people aren't opposed to but see other things as more pertinent and thus put them off indefinitely with the idea that they'll get to it next turn or eventually. The thing is, there won't really ever be a time that there isn't something important to do, and pushing it back so many times just reveals how low a priority it is even if you don't find it to be a negative action. That in turn reveals it is likely a low enough priority to be pushed back again when something else inevitably pops up. That, of course, doesn't mean something absolutely will pop up that we don't already know about, nor will some kind of shiny that people feel they HAVE to have necessarily pop up. It just means I'm hedging my bets from experience.

I personally want to win the culture sphere and the tech sphere, and part of that includes dominating the internet as well as becoming and staying the dominant OS. No hard feelings or anything, but I wish to stay consistent with my goals. :D

Just about the only thing you guys could actually do currently to actually annoy me about the quest's path is if you rejoin the US. Thankfully not many people have advocated for that yet, so I don't have to worry about it at the moment.

Honestly, since Xanatos seems intent on puppeting the US government, we might be able to sneak around that whole secession business by cozying up to him a bit. Since we already are planning on cooperating with him during this whole Alliance/Council business, him deciding to "ask" his contacts in the government to leave us be wouldn´t be too much to ask imho.
 
The government isn't actually that unhappy with us at the moment mainly because of russ i think. And we haven't done anything directly against them.

As long as we don't do anything directly hostile to the government I think we are going to be fine with them.

Especially is Xanatos decides he likes us. He has a large amount of infinite the government as i recall.
 
Status quo is ok for now, though approaching the government with a deal wouldn't be terrible. I'm kind of afraid the masquerade will shatter at some point though, and given that Doofania is relatively sane, the government would have a lot of issues and make our rejoining pointless beyond more loyalty for Russ.
 
Honestly, Russ probably reported at some point "Vanessa seems sane and uninterested in ruling, Doof is still paying his taxes .... if we just wait for Doof to die the 2.5 state area will be inherited by Vanessa and I think she'll probably just give it back to us. Waiting things out seems to be the obvious path."
 
So...

Food for evil thought.

Xanatos has the search for immortality for himself and his family as one of his main motivations.

His initial association with Demona, relocation of castle Wyvern and resurrection of the clan? It was about that.

The City of Stone fiasco? That.

The Cauldron of Life? That.

Trying to capture Anubis to stop death? That.

The attempts to capture Coyote? That still.

Frankly, the guy getting a lifetime of service from Puck-as-Owen rather than immortality was the lone instance in which he decided to give the opportunity a pass.

Toffee has some really, really excellent biological immortality of the very kind that Xanatos is highly interested in.

If/when things go hot in the conflict with Toffee, it is likely that the opportunity to access Toffee's genetics would become highly relevant to David's position in such a conflict between fellow Kings.

I believe that the fact that Toffy would probably want to kill his son ( Because highly anti magic and his son is a natural magic user) . And just in general screw over the magical community and if the Corn thing is to be taken seriously all humanity.

Those are also fairly good reasons to want the lizard dead.
 
We can do immortality too, we've got Jumba and plan on doing human genetics soon enough, and that probably opens up the tree.
