[X] Plan Acquire Knowledge, revised
I'd have liked to get the sword, too, it could have helped with actions against rivals, but the cookbook is nice for both food and magic.

Also, just a thought, but are we sure Drake/Hovarth are actually going for the Encantus? Drake being rich seems to imply that he possesses/possessed an Encantus, after all.

Drake explicitly possessed an Encantus in the movie, actually.

He is mostly a self-trained wizard, since his teacher was captured when he was young and he had to use the Encantus to complete his own training.
 
[X] Plan Key And Ki

I'd rather wager more points on more powerful goods. Makes more sense that game-changers would be last, so being able to pivot onto two 'oh damn' items feels better than casting the net wide for 'oh that's nice' goodies.

Yeha, that's kinda what I was going for. If the whole basis of his fame and magical knowledge in canon is the Encantus, and he's shown here to be both famous and in the know about magic, odds are he possessed the Encantus when he was younger. I can see two possibilities here: one where Hovarth/Drake are currently in possession of an Encantus and as such don't need to buy another one, and the second, more likely possibility where they pawned their Encantus after getting the spell/spells needed from it in order to buy another magical item.

And given Magica de Spell's whole "evil sorceress" thing, odds are at least one of the round 3 items are inherently evil or otherwise bad juju. And what would excite Villains more than the chance to bid on a 3 for one deal of sealed evils in a can? Combined with the fact that the Encantus is likely being sold by Hovarth and Drake themselves, I'd give it decent odds that Magica managed to acquire the Grimhold that they're seeking, and that's what's so important to them.

It'd certainly feel more logical than famous wizard who was only famous and a wizard because he had the Encantus and evil wizard who only scouted said famous wizard because of his possession of an Encantus actually don't have an Encantus, and are looking to buy it here. It would also provide a reason for why there's an Encantus on sale rather than one just spontaneously manifesting out of the aether, so there's that.


Ergo Drake/Hovarth might not be gunning for the Encantus, which means competition would be lower, which means we could get away with a lower bid, which means the absolute minimum 12 points left in plan acquire knowledge has a better chance of netting us the item than we previously thought.

I want to have enough left over for next turn, and of the three debated items I'm least interested in the key.

Good odds that we will miss out in at least one if we go with Acquire Knowledge.

Which is not a given now that Key and Ki is apparently one vote ahead.

That said, at this stage of the game going for a new plan when the two front-runners are over thirty votes ahead from the third position plan is not likely to work out.

Not a new plan.

Someone else made while back.

And I hate doing... whatever you call it voting too early in morning.

I don't want to risk winning them all and not having enough next turn, I care more about knowledge than I do the key.

Just cuz Xanatos expects us to buy the key, doesn't mean we should/have to.

I'd honestly prefer sword over key, but no one seems to be voting for the sword.

I'm tempted to give it to Technor, because the dude needs ENERGY and, of course, if it makes you a megalomaniac...Well, mission accomplished on him, he already IS one. The problem is that it'd be really inefficient, since he'd have to point the sword at himself every time he uses it.

That sounds roughly as good an idea as giving Belkar Bitterleaf the One Ring as an invisibility item.
 
[X] Plan Acquire Knowledge, revised

Not really happy how expensive that plan is, but it´s simply the plan most likely to win that has both the Cookbook (let´s us push our *comparetively* strong food position even more among other things) and the Scroll (extremely versatile and might be reverse-engineerable for a good training regimen we could seel)
 
Let's do some further speculation on how loaded people are!

@KidFromPallet has the right track on how much money Drake/Horvarth has to blow. If they're gunning for one item specifically, but Drake wanted to spend some money on a Round 2 item, that means they have 11 points minimum, maybe 13 or 14 at best. I seem to remember an interlude where it says that Horvarth was running out of funds and had to turn to Demona for help...

The Glooms are poor since they've been kicked out of 7D, and already spent some points on Beezlebub. I have a good hunch they might be winning an item in the second round too, so I doubt they'll have enough to spend for Round 3. But let's be generous and say they might have, oh, 7 points by Round 3 assuming they don't get anything for Round 2.

Assume Xanny is operating on the same 30 points system, maybe a bit more or less up to 5 for error room. Because he's a CEO king.

Monty Hall is subservient to Pandarus, who is a businessman. Now while definitely not on our or Xanny's level, considering this is DVV, he should be rather well off. Lets give them, hmm, 16-20 points maybe.

Now, Demona...well I don't know much about her, but looking her up, she appears to be a rather successful CEO. Assume 20-25 points, although I doubt it's higher. That's king level wink wink.

Of course this is all speculation, and not the end-all facts. Heck, I don't even know who the other redhead is. Also keep in mind that the most other parties will probably be dipping into their funds during this round. There are 6 different items after all, with varying degrees of interest from those we've spotted.

EDIT: Also I do doubt that any bid from our opponents will go beyond 14 at most. Voting more than double for one item seems a bit excessive. Well, not excessive for us maybe, but in realistic terms (unless they're super desperate).

EDIT 2: Oh, wait, the omake is non-canon. Right, forget I said that last bit about Horvarth.
