I just have a feeling that we should get the Shego-Diplo-Action done yesterday.

*sigh* Maybe I'm just paranoid.
It looks like a lot of voting already happened. Nevertheless, reposting my plan. I think its important that we have Norm upgraded when he returns next turn, since Doof will be going on a quest and it may be useful to have him along. Conversely, Genghis Khan will be back next turn, and he's the person I want working on Dinosaur Cavalry, given previous discussions.
Reaching out to Shego is something I consider important so that we can actually begin collaborating with her next turn, much as we had to reach out to Xanatos before we had the option of collaborating with him on anything. Remember that she still has interesting tech from the Gala, like Compact Rocketry and the Omnidroid Armor - these are technologies we probably want for our Normbots and perhaps our PMC.
I think putting Hego on Dinosaur farming makes sense, given that he worked for Bueno Nacho and is used to making use of non-standard sources of meat. Plus if one considers the possible rewards (Small income increase, moderate increase to public opinion due to improved food choices and general cool factor, ???) and how the text indicates that the action "might just attract the attention of some world-class chefs besides", this could be a lead-in to Skinner or Hopper reaching out. Also, do recall how we turned down Toffee's corn deal - this is about the next opportunity we have to diversify the food supply.
Edit: My reasoning on Subverting Hawk is that as Doom's intrigue hero, he likely has been involved with many of the shady things Doom has ordered. Information on what exactly those shady things have been could be quite useful in not only expanding what we see of Doom in our rival reports, but also in formulating very specific attack ads / convincing people not to back Doom when the LA election comes in March 2017.

I'm not a fan of @Rivenscryr votinf to subvert hawk, since it's a waste of our best intrigue unit when there's demand on other actions and Xanadu, but as promised, unless someone else does Xanadu with Lizzy this has my vote.

lol, I don't know the point of switching when both leading plans have Russ on the investigate L.A. action. Right now the only substantive difference between plans is whether we go for Shego or Kitsune, and I already have talked on this matter extensively. Don't see the point of contacting Shego this turn, while the earlier we have more Occult heroes the better.
Please someone explain to me why they think Shego will actually turn against us if we don't talk to her this turn, because I'm quite puzzled on this matter. Anyone care to enlighten me?

Now that the QM has confirmed the only difference between
-[] Don't activate an Inator
and
-[] Activate an Inator
Is that if we choose to activate an Inator, we actually have a (slim) chance of getting something, instead of a 100% chance of getting nothing, would you be willing to change it? We won't suffer any negative side effects (the Candace paranoia point thing was a joke, and any inator we roll that goes 'poof' will be added back to the list to be rolled again later)

I don't know about her turning on us, but right now, we only have one good diplo hero available. As such, spending our second action on Shego is a free sucess, whereas something like recruiting Kitsune gives us a solid chance to fail even with XP. Next turn, we'll have bought out Lee Industries, so we'll have a second real diplo hero to assign to actions. Reaching out to Shego with them will be more overkill, and unless their stars are inflated they should be able to do recruitments with no issue.
On the other hand, if Kitsune is the person mentioned in the Tarot Cards, it would behoove us to reach out in the next couple of turns.

What´s better to have for combating a genocidal alien invasor?
- One single Hero Unit whose skill set might help
or
- one big and strong allied faction that will probably be pretty diverse in talents?
To me an easy choice in terms of prep work

Sigh... looks like we are going to find out about crime in LA.
Here's hoping we get some exploding dice.

Wait, when was it confirmed that buying out Lee Industries would give a Hero Unit?
I don't think its a matter of Shego necessarily turning against us, as much us wanting to actually have the opportunity to begin collaboration/joint research with Drakktech, which as I remind you, still has interesting tech from the Gala, like Compact Rocketry and the Omnidroid Armor. Other than that, she's our closest neighbor, definitely has a large force of capes available to her - something that may be useful if Toffee comes our way, and has a longstanding relationship with Sky High. If we want to be able to say, have a booth at career day at Sky High and such, it would be best to have formally talked to Shego, so we're not seen as poaching.

It was never directly confirmed (to my knowledge), but Janus Lee was dangled in front of the thread like a colorful set of plastic keys. An educated guess would point to him being recruitable on a good roll if Lee Industries is bought out.

I mean, we already do tall to Shego every so often in-universe. It's how we got her as our +1 for the Gala. I imagine that preforming the Shego action will just make it so we have an official way to contact her, along with us being able to spend actions so we can ask her for help with something... whoch isn't something I see us doing for the foreseeable future. Like... what can we ask her to help us with within the next few turns? Fighting Doom? Not unless we want some of the other Kings and the US Gov to, basically, declare war on us, while also breaking the Masquerade. Toffee? We don't actually have any evidence, besides Janna's words, that Toffee is... well, anything but a business lizardman. So it's doubtful that we'll be able to convince her to help us bash down Toffee's doors. Plus... against Toffee, who can just regenerate anything she does to him... she'll undoubtedly act more like a meatshield if she fights him, while our Occult heroes try to find a way to stop him/kill him.
So, really, the only reason we would need to do the Shego Diplo action anytime soon unless either Doom tries to ally with her, or we need a meatshield to punch things.
Yes... but, do you really expect Toffee or any alien factions to attack next turn? Because that's the only real big thing reason I'd put the Reach Out option above Kitsune. Who can also help our Occult actions making our Occult stuff even stronger so we can fight back against our ebemies, especially Occult enemies who Shego would probably have little chance at foghting against, as I dount she has an Occult stat
No. He's just listed as a possible hero. It's entirely possible that, if we don't get a high roll/crit we'll need to spend a second Diplo action/Rolodex action to recruit him.

Thanks for the heads-up.
Speaking of which:
Just saying that "Benevolent Overlord H. Doof got a Shego action as well.
*groans*
So you want to rally the troops only when the enemy is already at your gates?
Killer plan, truly...
It´s about maximizing benefits from us preparing together, pal.
As for Shego probably not having an Occult stat (totally disregarding that *neither do we*):
True, but do you really expect someone like Shego who regularly hires capes as goons to not have at least some of them which would help against Toffee?
That´s really unlikely.

This seems to match most with things I've wanted to do for a while. It also looks through ACME, and we can finally start on that musical!

That's not the deciding factor. Like I said in my post, my vote depends on the Xanadu quest composition.
