Also, just saying... you guys can make Employee Ideas, it'd probably help me not just... repeat ideas in the future.

I'll get to writing in a bit.

The first thing you had done, was work on making more Wonka Bars and Laffy Taffy. You should really start working on making more candy types...

Wonka Bars and Laffy Taffy have been restocked. (200/200. For more Storage, upgrade the building)


After that, you finally decided to hire a new employee for the store. Joe was doing a phenomenal job, but you needed some more hands on deck with the growing popularity of your store.

After putting an ad in the paper, you had gotten three people interested in becoming a Wonka's Candies employee, so that was nice... you'd only be able to hire one for now, though. You didn't want to waste your resources on all of them, after all.

96: First up was Fred Morter, he had a real... mad scientist look to him, with a white lab coat, goggles, and spiky black hair, along with an incredibly excitable energy to him, he told you that he'd always wanted to work in a candy store, and after seeing your Wonka Bars was extremely excited to help you make more candies. He'd come up with some fascinating ideas for candies too.

47: Bob Jones was next, he seemed like a fairly normal man, but there wasn't anything that really... popped out about him. He seemed like he was used to monotonous work, though.

97: Ruby Williams was the last one, she seemed incredibly passionate about candy, and just like a really... personable person. You could see her working in sales, alongside Joe.

Now, you had to choose who you'd hire. Truly, it was a shame that you'd have to only pick one, they all seemed to have quite the potential for candy making.

[] Choose one of the choices to become an employee.
-[] Hire Fred Morter.
-[] Hire Bob Jones.
-[] Hire Ruby Williams.
[] Don't pick any of them.

We don't have a Research or Production oriented advisor, so time to get one. Those are our bottlenecks right now, since I do think we do need to get started with product diversification and to somehow locking one action every turn into production.

If I could ask, what's preventing us from hiring more employees? Is it due to the narrative or due to the mechanics? I could argue for the first to allow us to hire more, but if it's game-breaking or whatever it's understandable.

Ruby for now is not needed and Fred kinda too, now we would need someone who would make reserve of candy so that we can make more kinds of candy.

Mostly a way to not screw yourself over, if you hire 4/4, that's 12 Wealth per turn... you don't have the capital to safely churn out that much without REALLY good rolls, and I'd rather not leave it up to chance.

Honestly I would like to Hire both Bob and Fred. Bob for Production, Fred for Fellow Candy Creator.

Ruby, I would like to hire in like 5-8 turns if she still needed a job, Since by then I could see us needing a new sales person.

I mean, just 2 employees (becaues really, both Fred and Ruby are top tier that we might not see for awhile) won't hurt us too much, considering that 9 wealth a turn is about 35-50% of what we make a turn, and our upgrades wil only make this better.

Yite is there any reason to not pick the 97 over the 96?

Edit: just reread it didn't realise they had different specialties.

Yeah, but... a couple of bad rolls could still fuck us over.

They have different abilities. Ruby is more of a Sales person which you already have with Joe, while Fred would be better at Candy Research.

This is a case of we need a drone not a genius
 
So If we Hire Bob, Next turn we can Research Candy, and Expand the Store with our two actions since we dont need to Use an action making candy anymore.
 
@Yite Could it be possible for us to have Fred do production except when we have Willy do research, at which time he works with Willy?

I'd caution against hiring Bob for production. If I recall, a major issue for Willy Wonka was espionage from competitors who got the secrets of his candies from his production workers. Its why he went with the Oompa-Loompas, who worked for literal beans.

Edit: Fred's descriptions suggests he'd be perfectly happy to work in production, too.
