Xanadu is safely in the lead, and I do generally prefer this Xanadu plan over the other.

[X] Plan: I Have the Honor to be Your Benevolent Overlord, H. Doof
 
@QTesseract the formatting for your plan is bad; you need to add extra hyphens to the personal actions. Right now they're all being counted as individual votes and clogging up the tally.
 
My personal concerns with the leading plan, in no particular order:
No comedize supply lines or Doofhawk, leaving me seriously concerned the thread isn't going to go for Doofhawk next turn. Very upsetting.
No Inter-Dimensional tech, which would synergize highly with our search and our new anti-Toffee actions.
No Shego.

Would you want to persue Xanadu? That seems to be the main thing. I and I think others would be cool substituting out the other actions with some of the above. Second vote does have reaching out to Shego fyi
 
It is not important for us to contact Shego this turn. It would be nice, like many things would be nice. We will in no way "alarm" Shego with our current actions; why would that even happen? You'd think she'd pretty happy with us coming out in favor of supers. Does she really care about Arizona at all? If you want to coordinate against Toffee it is better to that after the investigation results so we are all on the same page.

In contrast, every turn without additional Occult heroes is another turn where we have to eat raw roll after raw roll on our Occult actions and stand very little chance of progressing whatsoever; we can't rely on Tobe crit succeeding every turn.

Janna is pretty booked with Xanadu this turn and the Auction, searching for Star and more temple spelunking in the future. Not to mention she has a trait that makes her unreliable in National Actions! More Occult heroes are needed exactly because we often want our units doing other things, and that's only going to become more true as we get more Quests and more actions. It's not like we are suffering a glut of these things, even!

Getting more heroes now sets the foundation for more successful actions in the future, whether that be by Quests or National Actions. That an entire category often goes completely without expert assistance is criminal.

This is even more true now that we are committing ourselves against Toffee; magical help will be quite essential, to say the least! The earlier we get it the earlier we can start protecting and preparing ourselves against him. Considering how much more powerful and knowledgeable he is on the subject compared to us, the earlier we get it the better.

In brief, contacting Shego is nice and would presumably help a ton of actions, but getting an Occult hero gives a struggling category the help it needs, a category now more relevant than ever given our recent choice of enemies. The sooner we patch that hole, the safer we will be.

[X] Plan: Anti-Toffee Questosaurus

Well, since my only voter has abandoned me, I guess I can vote for this without guilt. Putting the vote before I forget, that'd be embarasing.
 
That's only if we activate an inator to begin with. As long as we don't touch our inators, we'll suffer no maluses
Incorrect.

All the trait does is make our inator only have a 1/6 chance of working. But if it doesn't work, it won't affect what P&F do at all. It will be like we didn't activate an inator. But that doesn't mean we need to pick "don't activate an inator."

This is bad because IIRC according to our GM, Inators average as 'slightly good'. So only having a 1/6 chance of having our Inator work means we only have a 1/6 chance of rolling for something that is likely to give us, on average, a slight benefit.

My main issue with Questasaurus (not quite the only one, but the one that really bothers me) is sending Russ along into a high risk, uncertain reward, not currently relevant Intrigue mission, rather than one of the several that are obviously and immediately relevant to our current needs.

Shego has been put off for long enough, its time to formally start working with next door neighbors.

I agree that it's time to reach out to Shego and I want Monogram on investigating Toffee since his trait will activate.
