On Paranoia
- Location
- the Republic
- Pronouns
- He/They
Horner's got a pretty good amateur psychologist's grasp on Mengsk's general deal, so let me lay out my criteria for what constitutes a potential Paranoia issue:
1) Doing anything that contradicts Mengsk's personal vision. Regreening even part of Korhal doesn't fit with his vision of a perfect ecumenopolis shining like a jewel in the night sky, even if it would produce a more resilient and sustainable ecosystem.
2) Doing anything that might accrue glory or public regard for the person doing it. Public healthcare is going to be very popular with the average person, and even though Mengsk will get the lion's share of the credit, people will also be grateful to you personally for getting it done.
3) Doing or implementing anything not entirely within Mengsk's personal control. UNN will expect the pretense of journalistic independence to be respected, in name if not in fact, and even that concession will rankle the Emperor.
4) Doing or implementing anything that gains the person doing it power, influence, or resources. Hiring independent experts falls under this category, as does growing your staff beyond a certain point.
Now, some of you might be saying, "Wow, Etranger, isn't that kind of comprehensive? Like, it covers almost everything?" and my answer to that is, well... yeah. It sort of does. You work for a despot.

Quest Policy on Dice Results and Omakes
- Location
- the Republic
- Pronouns
- He/They
Just a brief explainer here...
If a project with a DC does not explicitly preclude using multiple dice in the project text, you can do so. I'll add the results together and take the total.
Natural 1s don't have any mechanical effect outside of being a terrible result. If it's something funny or potentially catastrophic then I'll weave that into the narrative, but I'm not going to penalize you guys any further than the dice already did. If you had picked someone besides Horner, you might be subject to a Paranoia bump, but the good ol' boy can just shrug off mishaps like water off a duck's back.
However, if you roll a natural 100, I'll reduce Paranoia by 5 (once per project) and include something suitably obfuscatory or mollifying for Mengsk to keep the heat off.
Finally, if a die rolls below an applied penalty (rolling a 4 with a -5 penalty, for instance), you don't lose 1 point of progress, nor do penalties "spill over" onto other dice. Each penalty reduces its die and its die alone to a minimum of 0. The reverse is not true; if you roll a 99 with a +5 bonus, the result is 104.
As for omakes: non-canonical omakes are worth 5 points on a single project, semi-canonical omakes are worth 10 points, and fully canonical omakes are worth 15 points. edboy's Granger picture is non-canonical (in my head, Horner is voiced and modeled on Clancy Brown) but if there had been a 5-point progress gap then the omake bonus would have filled it in this turn. Instead, I'll keep it stockpiled for later.

Plan Formatting Guidelines
- Location
- the Republic
- Pronouns
- He/They
Starting with Turn 4, I'd like people formulating plans to use the format in this post. I borrowed it from @Simon_Jester and it's got basically everything I want: projects broken down by category, extant progress, per-category and per-project dice and resource allocations, and nesting. You are also free to include the probability of completion if you like, but it's not necessary on my end.
I'm also going to ask that everyone making a plan stick to a single current plan apiece, and that each person have distinctive names for their plans. This will cut down on confusion all around, I think. I do ask that you iterate your plans rather than editing the original post, though, as that maintains maximum transparency. Please keep the iterations to an absolute minimum, and try not to make new ones after the moratorium unless you're coming up with an entirely new plan.
For example, User A has Plan Great Plan. If they decide to change it, they should make a new post with Plan Great Plan mk2 rather than edit the original PGP. If User B wants to riff off of Plan Great Plan, they should come up with a new name like Plan Awesome Idea, rather than something like Plan Great Plan Version B, and post their new PAI separately.
Please note that these are guidelines intended to promote clarity and make things easier for people (mostly me), not rules that people should be calling each other out on. They're based mostly on my own preferences and do not constitute anything but me wanting to keep things easy to understand.
Also, please do not change anything for the current voting period, as that'll just mess everything up. I'll link to these guidelines again when Turn 4 drops.

Status of the Terran Dominion (as of Q4 2507)
For all stats other than Population, Military, Security, and Unrest, the scale is (from worst to best) Real Bad/Bad/Okay/Good/Real Good. For Population, Military, Security, and Unrest, the scale is Real Low/Low/Middling/High/Real High. The scale gets steeper as it improves; it's much easier to go from Real Bad to Bad than it is to go from Good to Real Good. As Population increases, other stats may tend to go down unless improved at the same rate.
"Defense" and "Security" aren't measures of Dominion military or police presence, but rather those systems' ability to resist direct military attack or indirect criminal/espionage action.

Discount Change
- Location
- the Republic
- Pronouns
- He/They
Okay, a change on how cost and progress mechanics will work going forward:
Previously, I was just applying discounts as they arose, and then basing new project costs off the old discounted costs. So if a 10R/die project was reduced to 5R/die, then the next phase would be 10R/die, not 15R/die. This system does not allow for time-limited discounts and isn't very clear, bookkeeping-wise.
From now on (starting in Turn 7) projects will have independent required Progress and per-die costs, to which I will then apply the relevant discounts. I'll add a section to the treasury stats later listing all active discounts.
As a result of this change, the Space Defenders option in the 2508 budget negotiations will be rebalanced to serve as a -10R discount to all space-based projects, to a minimum of 5R/die, to expire at the end of Q4 2508.
In order to give people more time to consider this change, I'm putting another 12 hours on the moratorium.
Thank you for your indulgence and for your continued participation.
Previously, I was just applying discounts as they arose, and then basing new project costs off the old discounted costs. So if a 10R/die project was reduced to 5R/die, then the next phase would be 10R/die, not 15R/die. This system does not allow for time-limited discounts and isn't very clear, bookkeeping-wise.
From now on (starting in Turn 7) projects will have independent required Progress and per-die costs, to which I will then apply the relevant discounts. I'll add a section to the treasury stats later listing all active discounts.
As a result of this change, the Space Defenders option in the 2508 budget negotiations will be rebalanced to serve as a -10R discount to all space-based projects, to a minimum of 5R/die, to expire at the end of Q4 2508.
In order to give people more time to consider this change, I'm putting another 12 hours on the moratorium.
Thank you for your indulgence and for your continued participation.

Please note that the text of the narrative does not and never will hint at hidden mechanical effects. No option I ever give you will come with a secret unstated penalty attached to it. If there's a mechanical downside to an option, it'll be clearly spelled out. If there are uncertain or unforeseeable mechanical consequences for an action, it'll have a clear label in the mechanics section telling you that, as it has before.
I do not, as a general rule, believe in a QMing style that's equivalent to waiting behind a door for my questers with a baseball bat at the ready. I want to be as forthright as possible about what you're doing and where the narrative is going whenever possible. Please try not to read hidden meanings into what I say or make unsubstantiated predictions about what I write for you. The only paranoid in this quest should be the fictional character you're trying to subvert.
