[X] Something else about DEI

Less because I still think that Twelfth Night is a bad choice - I don't - and more because I think if all three somehow tied, it would be really funny?

I doesn't take a month to get to New York. The omake will be happening in December, and is also going to probably be the last one happening due to it being during the Christmas special. So Tom could easily summon Celena before then.

Since Twelfth Night in January and this turn is November/December I think that event will happen after Janna will leave New York. Perhaps she will bring information that make us consider sending team there next turn.

Why are people voting for 'Twelfth Night'? We can probably get some insight into it, but that's about it. There's not much we can really do about it. Considering...

The Inator we voted for is going to be weighing us down when it comes to high DC actions.

Consider:

1) Forewarned, we might get a low-DC national action option to help us prepare, much as we got low-DC preparation options for the Sands Gala and magic auction quests. Say, forewarned that Demona is going to replicate her "cause every TV screen in the region to turn people into stone" trick or something, we might have a low-DC action to minimize screen time and cover up screens.

2) We might get information that lowers the DC of some automatic dice roll we might otherwise make, increasing the likelihood of getting a critical success on "withstand the onslaught" as opposed to a critical failure, depending on how things work.

3) We might get information that lets us attempt a quest or quest-like action to affect the sequence of events. This would not necessarily interfere with our need to play nicely with the Probabilinator.

4) We might get information that lets us warn Xanatos, giving him further information. If this helps him deal with the problem, he will be in our debt. If it causes probably-Demona's plan to fail, so will the US government.

5) The extra context from the tarot reading might give us more information that lets us correctly interpret events that would have happened anyway, positioning us better to react later, after the fact.

Hah, that reminds me of Trump Card.

It wasn't that bad, we just had insider knowledge that let us peel back the curtain.

I don't remember how the Probabilitinator works, but "high-variance" and "Vanessa's SAT scores" may not go together well.

Not how that works, PA's don't technically have success or failure.

Welp, we heard vanessa, Guess we're giving DEI to Janna if we somehow croak.

If Doof died right now, I'd want Mirage to take emergency control. Ideally until Janna is ready.

Janna absolutely is not leadership material. We've seen that w.r.t. her willingness to flee if she gets even the slightest hint of 'betrayal', her inability to trust subordinates even if their lives are on the line (which means loyalty scores would drop hard), her abysmal stats in most categories (which would severly hamper national actions), and her lack of committment to anything not Toffee-related as demonstrated by her 'Bored' trait.

If she became CEO, she'd wield DEI as a club against Toffee and ignore the things that actually keep the company able to operate.


Personally, I'd say that Mirage or Goofy would be the best choices, but I already know that there's only one option our voters would actually pick: TECHNOR. SV wouldn't be able to resist their chance at up to four therapy actions per turn.

Yeah.

I'm going to be candid, Janna isn't remotely qualified to run the company; she has very little understanding of how to manage others or organize them. She regularly ignores things that are 'boring,' and her motivations are dominated by a desire to destroy Toffee. She'd need someone like Mirage doing almost all the actual work of managing the company for her, and if you put her in a position where she owned the company with Mirage or someone like her as the manager, she'd still run the place into the ground- it'd just take longer.

Janna's best case scenario as a CEO in the foreseeable future is that she'd be like the Occult version of Shego: an ascended murderhobo who manages to keep things going, but who tends to ignore the little low-level actions that lead to long term success, until things escalate to where they seem important enough to her that she goes out and smashes them personally.

Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with backing Janna up and I like her as a character- but she just isn't in a place mentally where "Fortune 500 CEO" or even "Fortune 500 owner" is something she could handle.

So we should be setting Janna up to inherit Drakktech. I'm on board.

Clearly all we need is an Ask-Three-Questions-Inator!

Ask-Three-Questions-Inator: You're sick and tired of struggling to figure out what disasters are and are not happening and what you can do about them. This Inator should cut through the bullshit and finally give you some clear answers!
Result: Vote on three questions to be answered truthfully.

Ask-Me-No-Questions-Inator: Lies are the glue that holds society together. Since you own two and a half states' worth of society now, you figured you'd squirt a little extra glue on just to be sure.
Result: The next three pieces of information you get are in some way false.
