Ugh, this is a tough decision. On the one hand, I want to tell Xanay. On the other, it might be funnier to watch everyone flail around, including him. On the other other hand... he's the main one propping up the government and the masquerade, so we may need to give him this information.

One important question- is a no vote Doof deliberately choosing to withhold information, or is it just him not thinking it's important/it slipping his mind? Because the former is unjustifiable, while the latter is funny.
 
Xanay: "Ah, I've made a personal visit and said thanks. Hopefully we can deal with the fallou-"

Doof: "Oh, that reminds me. I maaaay have accidentally broken probability for a bit."

Xanay: "...Run that one by me again?"

No contest. This one for sure.

David, please tell the scary green lady for us. We don't have time or the courage.
 
So, we should probably go with really low risk stuff next turn, since we'll get crit success even with bare successes, right?
 
Wonder what would happen if we rolled a Crit Success while probability is broken?
Nothing. A Crit Success is still a success, and so it would stay a crit success. In fact, even a massive critical success, where the roll is three times the DC, would actually be reduced to a normal critical success.

That seems to be the plan, yes. So far, researching the Crystal Key is one thing, fixing DoofOS is another (despite not having high odds of success, the attacker is guaranteed a success, and thus a crit success, if we do nothing). Personally, I want to use LOVE MUFFIN on the DC 45 Greevil option, and people are wondering about reaching out to Shere Khan (which would again be an auto success).
 
But she knew where inhumanity liked to hide. Where mankind would not find them.

After all, Demona mused. Inhumanity was the most important thing.
So is this a prolog of how Toffee recruited Demona? Is this a good thing or bad thing?

"Except for Marco." Tom pointed out. "He went down like a chump."

"Dude, give it a rest."

Boys, boys? This is serious stuff, happening. Please, could you stop flirting for like two seconds???

...how positive are we that this is Xanatos? Not, say, a robot duplicate, or some kind of shapeshifter? I realize that's paranoia and all, but New York is literally multiple time zones away, and ...

... no, yeah, it's Xanatos. He reacts too nonchalantly to stuff that would be surprising for people who weren't him. It's weird that he was able to get to the Midwest from the East Coast so fast, though. I know it's been a couple days, but, like, that's dropping a lot of things for an in-person meeting to say nothing much in particular.

... but even if it isn't Xanatos, and we spill the beans, oh well, someone we don't realize isn't Xanatos knows that probability is broken. Not exactly the end of the world.

I wouldn't put it past Xanay to have an LMD on hand.
 
Smart move on Xanatos's part, getting out of the nickname by telling us to call him David in a way that implies further closeness. I wonder what the DC was for that in the Xanatos Negaquest?
 
So, exactly how much does Doof know about the mechanics of the probability breaking? I mean, it might be funny for him to literally say "Flip a coin, if it's heads the thing you're doing is 80% more probable, but if it's tails it's 80% less probable. Either way, successes turn stupendous, and failures turn horrendous." but I think it's going to be more like "So, there's no way to be sure which is which, but some of the stuff you do is going to be a lot more likely to work, and some of it's going to be a lot less likely to work, and successes and failures all end up being way more extreme."
