Side note, Commiewood sounds like a _great_ place to sneak in some "Show the world what the US is sponsoring" CyPac action.

Preliminary plan:

[] Plan: Beans, Bullets, and Bandages

-[] Light Industry
--[] Pharmaceuticals Plant (+2 Reputation) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)

The Pharma plant is there because it's got positive rep and it help with healthcare so we can take advantage of those juicy boni.

--[] Medical Imaging Plant (-1 Rep) (Bonus: +2 Electronics + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +5 Total)

X-rays and ultrasound machines are both very useful non-invasive medical imaging systems that are well understood, stand to benefit from Mingxiang's electronics focus, and will help with our healthcare situation. At -1 rep, it's a steal.

[] Agri-, And Aquaculture
--[] Expand Crop Breeding Programs (Medicinal) (+4 Reputation) (Helpful) (Bonus: 1 PttF = + 2 Focus +1 TffF = +3 Total)

Originally this was gonna be a Mosquito eradication program, but we could really, really use the positive rep gain and I checked with HC that we can use it to breed better medicinal plants and pharmacological precursors. Also the idea of us breeding better weed for medicinal CBD is deeply funny.

--[] Vaccination Campaign (Disease) (Extremely Helpful)
---[] Domestic Production And Doctors (-5 Reputation) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)

Second verse same as the first. Thankfully it's gotten cheaper since last time.

-[] Political
--[] Found Department of Public Health (-4 Reputation) (-8 People's Opinion) (Bonus: + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +3 Total)

It's on our list of promises. It's not too expensive, and we should do it while we have that +2 Focus bonus.

[] Secret Projects
-[] Develop Native Supercomputer (Mega-Project - 3/3 Actions) (-8 Reputation) (-6 People's Opinion) (Bonus: +2 Electronics + 2 Focus + 1 PttF = +5 Total)

The -8 Rep is an ouchie, but we really need to do this earlier rather than later to reap the benefits and.

-[] CyPac
--[] Industrial Aid - (Mongolia, Iraq, Tanzania) (FREE ACTION) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)
--[] Famine Relief - Mali (URGENT) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)
--[] Military Intervention - Iran (Optional: Volunteer Forces) (+1 Reputation) (Bonus: 1 PttF = +1 Total)

We promised industrial aid, famine relief is just the right thing to do, and I went with Iran because it's just more strategically important than Benin - we'll send them stuff next turn. A sparse crop of Rep from CyPac this turn, but there's nothing to be done about it.

I assume that Commiewood stuff is just straight up soft banned. The sort of thing you buy under the counter from a guy you know.
 
I just finished reading through the threadmarks. This is… wild.

Wrt to planning, how many actions/turn are there? I think I remember seeing 8 base, bonuses for using less, malus for more early on but I missed the supercomputers giving additional actions?

So if i count right, Plan: Beans, Bullets, and Bandages uses 10 actions?

So I was thinking about this plan. Vis a vis the foreign military aid, have we built up enough of a logistical wing to our military to deliver our assets all over where they need to go, or are we going to need to call in favors with other powers (USSR?) or hire merchant vessels to get out forces where they need to go?

Would it make sense to build a merchant marine or heavy lift planes this turn? Ideally we won't have another failing healthcare system situation.

I think this is a case where the rest of CyPac would step up to provide the cargo lift while we contributed more personnel and materiel.
Right now, I don't forsee us having the actions to do a merchant marine until the last few turns of the plan. That's actually good through, because it will happen after the MSR, which means we can build a nuclear merchant marine, which will in turn let us build an all-nuclear navy. Goodby fuel costs and fuel based operational constraints.

As I understand we solved that ages ago? Long enough ago we first developed the plane in TTL 1978.

Nice, okay. I love the idea of us doing the Witches Abroad Nanny Ogg pipe bit but for military intervention.
Edit: okay, not from witches abroad, can't find it for the life of me
Edit edit: can't find it for the line of me. Basically the bit goes:
*witch on cart with some other folks* *takes out tobacco pouch* Witch- "now, I'm in the mood to share a pipe of good tobacco, but i don't have my pipe. Would anyone be amenable to sharing?" *everyone looks excited about getting some good baccy, someone produces a pipe* Witch- "lovely! Now, I've also misplaced my matches?" *someone gets out some matches* Witch- "amazing! Lovely that we're all coming together like this" *puts away tobacco pouch* Witch- "now, does anyone have any tobacco?"

I remember that, was just wondering if we needed to have built up supply specifically for this.

I'm wondering if we can't sneak in one more CyPac action focusing on military intervention. I get the feeling that when China crumbles, the US of Middle North A is going to see an opportunity to throw their weight around. We don't want hotspots lingering that they can take advantage of.

Edit: I'm also on board with the Commiewood propaganda idea. It sounds like a perfect way to stick it to them.

[] Lover Action: Hike the (someone help come up with a name!) mountain in Guangchou. After all these diplomatic negotiations, you need some nature!

[] Personal Action: Write and playtest a system for sci-fi tabletop adventures, but one that bases itself on leftist core values, rather than the inherent capitalism and imperialism of D&D.

[] Personal Action: Write and playtest a sci-fi setting for Mazes and Minotaurs, now featuring FUUUUTURE! Keep the torch lit for the dreams of space, giant robots, and using huge metal machines as proxies for emotional conflict between characters!
Name ideas, courtesy of my partner:
- Freefall Mazes
- Meteors and Mechs
- Mazes and Minotaurs: Zero G
- Laika's Children: A science fantasy expansion for Mazes and Minotaurs

Yknow, I am wholly unsurprised. Guess I'm in a mood! Let's change that to making a sci-fi module/setting for it, a la Starfinder. Now featuring MECHS!
 
[X] Commiewood: JANES

"If we're going to get hard-banned, we're gonna [fucking] earn it!"
-Pān Ayano, Director

It's agitprop. It doesn't even pretend not to be. But it's fucking good.
Extremely loosely based on the US based domestic terrorist group Jane's Revenge, JANES is basically a radfem John Wick miniseries that follows the exploits of a team of female assassins taking out a series of deplorable authority figures.
The show blends tightly choreographed ultraviolence with biting social commentary about the injustices that radicalized these women and the complex relationships between them. It's part power fantasy and part intersectional criticism of America - with enough sex scenes to appeal to the broadest slice of American malcontents it possibly can.
This thing knows it was never going to legally distributed and embraces the fact to tell a story without any pretense to coddling the censors. If it doesn't trigger a moral panic about foreign funded feminist terrorists, it would consider itself a failure.

Famine relief because it's urgent.
Industrial aid because it secures three nations at once.
Guns to Iran because Iran is apologetically very important.

-[X] Wei Jungming - (RP)
--[X] Personal Action: Learn Arabic.

A huge chunk of CyPac speaks it, so it would be good to learn.

--[X] Personal Action: Model Rocketry

Mai Li has discovered a new and interesting button she can press to make her father do interesting things.
Namely, that if she links something to Space, she can get him to agree to basically anything.
Mai suspects Wei's hand in this development.

--[X] Lover Action: Volcano Hike

Northeast of the capital lies Mount Wasan, a dormant volcano that is the last ember of the volcanic activity that formed the island. There are extensive trails, and Mai has decided to make a familly outing out of hiking them.

⬆️This is real good.

Do we do live action, especially live action with choreographed fight scenes?

[X] Plan: Beans, Bullets, and Bandages

Edit: Yeah, I'm just gonna assume it's animated since I'm not confident we're any good at live action. Though do you usually call it choreography when it's animated?
