I'd suggest Kitsune the Kitsune, but that runs the risk of getting repetitive soon.

His coffers were already restored when he initially went public last year. This would likely be getting shares from non-Doom people who have them. I'm hoping that with shares and access to other shareholders we could eventually pull off a "fired by the board" action too.

That might genuinely give us a bonus to Diplo with the Galfed, considering how obssessed they are with him (seriously, they set all the passwords of their ship's computer to Elvis songs).
They were originally on Decentralizing Normbots, it was my request that they move. Since they are currently at a negative, I would like them to have a fun mad science project until they feel important again, then I defiantly want them on Normbots. I could go for Silphium, I suggested Research Resiniferatoxin since it's the only low non-genetics* science project. But I would not object to switching to researching Silphium.
*And we have multiple genetics geniuses
The kidnapping and blow to his coffers came after that. Going public rarely leads to selling all your stocked, if we drive the price up, he can sell his remaining stock at much better prices.

Is sabotaging LA's utilities going to be much harder next turn? I would like to kill doom, but I am extremely hesitant to vote for a plan that doesn't have us check up on that Drug Ring and their flying battleship.

If Doom wants to give up further stocks than that's kinda good in of itself. I'm under the impression he sold certain stocks, isn't selling more and what's out there in the wild is out there in other's non-Doom hands. He doesn't really be fit from them unless he can get them back. And the latest kurfufle means that it could be likely we get a good deal on shares from spooked investors.
Hrrmn, really want to decentralize Norm Bots and the two stewardship actions are taken up with Maor Food (which I do think we need) and stage one of Fuck Doom's Company. Starting the spac program should likely wait until we get some research done.
So that leaves the research options. Perhaps move Janus to exotic vehicle research and have Wile (who I forgot about) do the buyout? Hah that could be funny but I'd be worry about triggering Doom there. The idea is to subtly start getting stock while we set fires to other parts of his territory. I could also have Lizzy upgrade the PMC if there's a super hard DC learning thing you really want to throw Ludvine at.
Timing! Under Doom's control the LAPD got fucked so I want to compound that with another thing immedietly after it that really makes his reign of LA look like nothing but clownshoes disaster 24/7. Also the drug cartel going as public as they have actually makes me less concerned since the US government now has an amazing target to test their new Xanatos given toys on. We're not the country's policing force nor should we try to be.

10 vote difference huh. By the look of things the winner will be between Long Overdue and Digital Dinosaur.

OK, between the two leading plans...
[X] Plan: Long Overdue
As much as I want to investigate the middelton drug cartel, we probably should build those magical defenses.
But the real deal-breaker for Digital Dinosaur is that it wants to try the Social Media again. ENCOM just kicked our asses there. Do we need an in-house social network so desperately?
(I pretty much skipped all the discussion due to work, sorry)
EDIT: screw it.

One issue with this is that there's a term for buying a large, but not controlling, number of shares of a company.
The term is investing, and if we bought enough stock for this action to be worth taking, everyone would know we were investing in Cloverleaf.
Not sure I want "DEI invests in Cloverleaf Industries" to be the headline immediately after Doom asks to work together with us.
Plus, Doom would be much more on guard for a hostile takeover if we started buying up his stock, which would make it more difficult to complete the hostile takeover in the first place.
Because there is nothing that can boost social media. Unless Wendy brings in new actions we are waiting for nothing on Social Media.
Also going to sleep now. So don't expect replies in a few hours.

mook.
Thank you, that works.
What if someone else buys Wyndcomm before we get to? It's a great company for the space race, and would probably help the space program, too. The longer we wait on the Space Race, the more likely someone will scoop us like they did with flying cars and cold fusion. We are not the only people with a high research score, we need to focus.
Wile E. would be excellent for taking over Wyndcomm, Ludivine is an excellent pick for Evil Space Program.
The only space stuff in this is Research Exotic Vehicles. It's better than nothing, but it doesn't give us an edge over the competition, it leaves Wyndcomm on the market.

OK so we're waiting for nothing, but what benefit do we even get for making it now, after ENCOM kicked us in the face?

I too wish to take the collaborate with Doom action. As long as we make sure it benefits us more than him, we stand to gain a rather substantial amount from two Kings applying their bonus to an action. Also, we might be able to force him into a suboptimal pick for his action this turn, which would be nice.

Confirmed: Increase Income, more popularity, increase in technological edge, new actions possibly boosting or making use of the social media.
Theory? Increased territory in Cyber World and more of Cyber people flooding in to escape ENCOM.

Yeah, ideally we'd be able to take the whole company at once, but since the DC for that is 300 I imagine we're going to have to take intermediary steps. And the ideal synergy from my plan is that the share buying (it would be from people Doom has already sold to, not Doom directly) would be relatively boring/overshadowed by whatever chaos happens in LA. I mean I'd hope we did the buying with a shell company, so it's not immediately obvious what we're doing but I imagine that that's below the turn vote's level of abstraction and would depend on the dice roll how competently/discreetly we buy the shares.
I'm not entirely convinced Silphium is entirely genetics research, as opposed to pharmaceutical research. Thematically it ties in with the stuff we're doing with bringing back dinos and making ourselves into a science wonder house than Resinferatoxin as well...
If the plant is half as effective as the Romans and Greeks thought it was, we could be reviving something quite miraculous and PR worthy.

Just one major issue.
While I understand you prefer this narrativly I don't see how it can produce any mechanical benefits at this time.
If possible could you switch to Lovemuffin? They currently are at negative 10 loyalty and have 3 large malices against us. If we could get them reduced in anyway it would be a help.

Long Overdue has a pretty comfortable lead right now, so I feel comfortable proposing this alternative. The +5 stats is nice, obviously, but most importantly for me I don't want Vanessa to be stuck in the personal action Limbo for the foreseeable future. How can she have the narrative focus needed to grow if we don't do anything with her? Plus, it would be a nice trip to go with our daughter. She will even get to use the flying car! It will be a nice trip with no complications whatsoever, I'm sure.
