A +15 to capture the birthday bandit.

Going with this. Much as I really wish we had the actions to spare to attack Burns' base and capture BB, we will have opportunities to do the former in the future, but probably only one shot at catching the Bandit before someone manages to get their hands on him, whether Burns or someone else.

Plus Burns needs that money, he can't keep using Ziff as his sugar daddy forever. Eventually Ziff will either run out of money, get caught because he's a fucking moron, or decide to cut his losses and book it. Burns will probably still have chances to get cash in the future but nothing on this scale.

Yeah it's so fun to see that XD

At this point I'm imagining that the vote somehow ended up tying between all 3 options and the QMs rolled a dice to determine the winning option.

…no one was happy with the result.

Yeah so far the Negaverse questors aren't being as bold as they should be. My negaverse self, TheInfamousMPS, is definitely voting for going all in with his full throat. The living embodiment of the meme where someone chooses to go big even while literally everyone around him is begging him to just go home for once in his life.

Because Burns is a villain, and a gloaty one too. Going all in and getting fucked over for it is entirely in character for Burns, and is therefore the correct vote.
 
My Negaverse Self, OrderMoon7, would be hemming and hawing between the risky option and the hire Abe option probably convinced to go for the risky option.

Maybe our Negaverse selves are more unscrupolous than we think? Or maybe the QMs laying down how that contest was structured made enough people reconsider to flip the vote?

There are quite some ways this coulda happened

...yeah, that might have been the moment where Nega-Me just lost it and had to be corralled away for a moment...

Tell you what, you can use Nega me as the sacrificial asshole. I'll say something provoking like "every gambler quits right before he hits it big" or something. Just for lulz.

Ah yes - good old "sunk cost fallacy"

How many lives that one ruined across history^^

So I've been working on a negaverse taking place during the poker night. It's not finished yet because it needs Negaverse players reactions So if you have any ideas what you want your Nega you to be called or say let me know.

My Negaverse version (BruteCore) would probably say something like:

We need as much wealth as we can get! We can't be outshined by that Hank Scorpio whose just flexing his wealth at us. More income means we can invest in some of the weirder sciences, maybe get an actual super! We can even pull off that When Bongos Collide action, explode part of the Nuclear Plant and give everyone in town super powers! That'll put Springfield on the map!

Also I'm sure the GM will reward us for acting in character as Mr Burns. Nothing can possibly go wrong!

A pieman song!
  • Apocrypha
    • I found this in a old junk file. Here's a song about pieman (homers super hero identity)

    There was a man from Springfield, in a Pink Sedan he rode

    Defending the defenseless, it's to him I sing this ode.
    With his Pastries of Justice, he struck down every foe
    Safety for our families, it's this to him we owe.

    Red and blue, red and blue,
    The man from Springfield wore the red and blue.

    He fought the vilest villains, too numerous to list,
    Rendering his verdict with pie crumb covered fists.
    Descending from the night sky, his bright red cape would flow,
    Those who broke the law deserve the pies he would throw.

    Red and blue, red and blue,
    The man from Springfield, wore the red and blue.

    But beneath the crust was just a man, same as you and me,
    His true face he could never share, a secret identity...

    But why endure this lone crusade, fight a fight you just can't win?
    If asked the man would tell you; "Someone's gotta stand up to all this sin..."

    Red and blue, red and blue!
    The man from Springfield wore the red and blue!
    Red and blue, red and blue!
    The man from Springfield wore the red and blue!
    The man from springfried wore the red and blue!

    A question and an answer.

    Or

    A +15 to one of abes personal actions of your choice

    Or

    Well, I don't like having just one hero unit on capturing the Bandit. Because if that fails, Burns is out of poverty, which is the very last thing we want.

    We dont really have any other choice on this regard, even if it was allowed, since we dont have enough hero's and cannot put anyone else on, and we plan to recruit heros the turn after (Turn 5), while we could remove the Doof Collab (which is guaranteed to succeed) to recruit next turn we cannot assign that new hero to anything, hence the final decision to throw Wille at it (24 Martial, highest thats not on spy duty, which is an tiny bit more important)

    …I mean, you can only assign 1 hero unit to a national action, that hasn't changed.

    Finale's as a spymaster allows him to substitute Abe's intrigue score with his own by sacrificing his perosnal action but you guys don't have that yet for martial/someone with actually higher martial score than Abe's (excluding the finale).

    What if you put Moe and the Finale on the Bandit, and Mona and Willie on the spies? Possibly Bart as well, since we get him for a turn?

    I think Willie gets +26 when spying on people, I think this counts.

    You can only put one hero unit on a national action, either Moe or the finale, but you can't assign both.

    Also putting the finale on a national actions means he can use his full spymaster bonus and switch his intrigue with Abe, just to point out.

    P.S I am going to sleep now (mid shutdown) so please ask questions tommorow, Most of the hero decisions were done by pods, since they did the math on them first (and then i checked afterwards)

    We don't actually know what Lena's personals will be at this point. And in addition to what Kingster just said, it's entirely possible that Lena will already know everything in it. Her occult score is 22 after all.

    Because we can't put both Moe and Finale on the Bandit. We can only put Finale's score on all the intrigue actions because he's our spymaster and that's the perk of that position. We don't have the equivalent Martial position unlocked yet
