Take the chance of success, divide by 10, and round to get the crit success chance. Do the same for the crit fail chance. XP can't reduce failure chance below the crit fail chance. Learning actions get a 5% additional crit fail chance (4% because of a Doof trait) if they're out of specialty of either the councilor or the assigned unit, though in our case Ludivine has Omnidisciplinary.
Probably won't convince anyone already decided, but I'm still very iffy on the franchise wars.
The average CoS of related actions seems to hang around 70%, and the number of competitors mean any advantage gained could easily be cut down by one or multiple simultaneous sabotage actions.
The final outcome would be +6 yearly income if we win bigly, with the process of getting there likely to consume 12 income (one income per action + one income for more than 1 action per turn can add up quickly), making it 2 years until it pays off. And that's if we win, and don't see ourself out of money due to having to rebuild after a major catastrophe such as the one we know is coming.
The opportunity costs include various goodies such as ACME corporate records, buying up companies that would actually give us heroes, direct industry standing and technologies, advancing our media and entertainment position and so on. Many of which are also just more interesting than fastfood.
(And as a minor last point, Kermitt's discomfort with Doc Hoppers also makes me uncomfortable with turning it into the nations foremost fastfood chain. Not too big a deal, but it's something.)

I think the golem action seems most likely to have a follow up that could seriously help us against the attackers. The action itself could already be decent against Megavolts, due to spooky normbots, but I think it's the follow up of getting more elaborate or specialized golems to support us that is most useful.

2nd Place still gets +5 which is huge. And we own Doc Hoppers now so it's not like the profit would go to Hopper himself.
As for the golem action, I think it would be better to wait until next turn. If we get confirmation it's Megavolt, I'm sure some councilmembers would swap their vote for security's sake, and if it's not Megavolt, delaying give us an additional turn to fulfill the negotiation requirements. Plus, with Janna or Kitsune on the golumetric action next turn because they'll be back from their quest, it will be much likely to actually succeed.
Some debate has occurred on the discord as to which personal action Moseby should take. I'm a bit neutral on this. I think Toons is arguably more important, but lobby ninja could be funnier. Especially with Tobe's current national action being to hunt magical creatures. Moseby catching them smuggling or god forbid, setting up an stable in his lobby could be excellent first shot for the lobby war.
Thoughts?

Ah, then there is no way to stop his Marcnificent bonus from declining? Sad. I've since corrected this flaw, reassigning the QMS to be Quest Leader, Kitsune to infiltration, and Cruella to diplomacy with the Zaibatsu.
I've made a plan that opts out of it, if you'd like. We have a lot of other stuff we could be doing with those Corporate Actions.

I'll be honest, both seem like Comedy options. Just do whichever is funnier.

Alright, I've made the switch to "Wage war against the lobby ninja". If anyone has an issue let me know.

That won't work without a talk to the boss man. Also, They're about a coin flip of success. If you want that effect you need to vote for my Plan which has a better chance of success on a mutual action and a talk with the bossman. It's extremely unlikely we get a free talk with the bossman.

Preparing for Megavolt was merely an add-on for the action itself. The main goal would still be the expected follow up, which I expect to be generally useful.

The two big things I care about are activating an Inator and Chatting with Malf, so I'll go with the plan that does both.

So... for the franchise wars.
We're at level 1 right? If we do nothing we stay at level 1, correct?
Let's just do nothing. Keep our current investment, have no change, and work on other things.
Unless I'm misunderstanding the situation.

We're at level 3 right now. If we lose the franchise wars, we drop to 1. If we get either first place or 2nd place, it increases to level 6 or level 5.

I'm fairly sure we were told that Personal Attention and Doof being personally present (as in, if his bonus is higher than the assigned hero's bonus) both will involve more interaction with hero units than they have previously.
Now, Map Ley Lines isn't quite that, but it is him and Doof working directly together, so I don't think it's crazy to think that it might have at least some positive effects.

I'd rather avoid getting into a struggle with Xanatos for dominance of the restaurant industry. We can focus more on mad sciencey industries, like robotics.
...Hold on just one second. I just noticed an industry that's pretty major, but isn't represented on the industries list! Where's the maritime shipping industry?
Quick, we need to take advantage of this amazingly simple concept that nobody's ever made use of in the history of mankind! Our Buoyancy Operated Aquatic Transports will deliver goods to every corner of the globe!

Ah. I was looking at the franchise war tracker not our standing.
My bad. Thank you for the correction.
Ugh... I'd love to try and win the franchise war but stuff keeps happening.

That doesn't prevent us from buying businesses that operate in regions that do have coasts. Or buying real estate in a coastal area and building a shipyard.

No, but the corporate dominance of coastal Kings might.
To operate in their territories they'd either have to consent to it, not know about it, or be warded off by our force of arms.
