DoP Extracurricular Program [Education]: The Better Think initiative was pushing for increased extracurricular programs: on paper, to improve educational quality and prepare for future crises. In reality, it was mostly a cynical excuse to let them remodel schools to include hardened construction and bunkers. 0/200, raises Duck and Cover. Repeatable: cost 1 Funding. Gain +1 [Education] dice.

Hey, would this affect all communities simulataneously ?

Private Lab [Corporate, Construction, Faction, [Charity-Temporary]]: A private research lab. Built for an organization, it cost a pretty penny, but it bought you goodwill with the organization, bolstered their own research efforts, and provided infrastructure that could be appropriated by whatever social or scientific apparatuses that formed post-bomb. 0/200/600. Select Community, Faction. Increases the Research Value of both. Increase DoP Goodwill of chosen faction. Second phase grants random bonus stat to both community and faction. Cost 2 Funding. Grants 3 Influence. First built grants Hubbology faction card.

What does this mean ? Does the Private Lab we're building for the Hubbologists mean we don't have to pay Funding to build it ?

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and close the vote early since the next few days look like they'll be hellishly busy and it looks like an early blow-out.

Kinda! Obviously some communities will see better results than others, while some (typically more rural and remote communities) are going to enjoy somewhat less in the way of benefits.

    So what does Research Value status does for the faction in question and say we pick ourselves to make the Private Lab does it give some sort of bonus for all research related projects?

    I mean it would be nice if Team America has they own space to research stuff as well. I imagine HQ probably has it's own lab but is not something huge nor have specialized equipment.

    Man that's a terrible roll all the dices we trow. I guess we fail the NEXT Mandate.

    Well maybe we can invest dices in either to investigate the mayor or in other investigations, considering we are going to favour ACME this next few turns maybe it better to either trow Skuldry at ACME Medical, specially now that's Cold that going to bring all sorts of problems.

    The ACME Catalogue that we are doing and ACME Loans as per Beinot Brain quest.

    Both of them benefit the company so it would be nice to at least finding out what ACME Medical is doing behind the scenes.

    Also is a relatvily cheap project with only 150 need for the first phase to complete while gaining a community card for each phase, also give new places to rob if necessary.
     
    No offense but why aren't people far more concerned or even doing about House's guy? We were told that not doing anything would be really bad and he is literally going to blow our cover and can even mess with our projects. And yet over the last two turns no plan is doing anything about that despite having the means.

    I genuinely can't see why no plan is doing anything about him since IIRC all we need to do is set up our mischief project in a place that RoBco has penetrated.

    Because we had no time? We needed to do knightfall.
     
    Dripper works for RobCo/House, not the government. All he did was discover RADICAL is different from NEXT, not necessarily who is leading it. This isn't the end of the world even if it means we have less cover for our acrions than we did before.

    We can't do anything against him since his quest need to have RobCo penetration in a community.

    Currently RobCo has none.

    So is a bit needless to worry over something that we have no capacity to influence.

    Nope. RobCo No, No was a project meant to stop the faction penetration in Baston Rouge that was successful.

    Wasn't the sabotage meant to reduce the effects of the penetration? Because I remember it being mentioned that it just reduces the factions power, not outright stop penetration. Then again I might be misremembering or got it wrong.

    It manage to get level 1 but it ended back to level 0:

    Anyways, for a brief bit, RobCo's faction penetration increased…and then it crashed again. You didn't stop their opening, kid, but you sure as hell gave them a black eye. So far, no one is sure who to credit: NEXT is currently trying to claim its one of their ops, though, so while the bad news is we aren't getting much publicity from this it means we're not gonna get the heat, either.
