I understand. Thank you for saying this. Oh, although while you're here, I do have another question. Would the Greco-Roman terraforming let us do something like Syndrome's lava wall for his island base if we complete it?
Ok then people, let's take a look at what's got Lovemuffin unhappy.
Ok, so of the various problems, they specifically fell unimportant, and want to do mad science. Ok, in that case assigning them to a research action sounds best. Now, I know that I've said putting them on the Shiv laser might work foe a number of reasons, and I certainly wouldn't mind putting someone who's guaranteed to not get sidetracked on it, but does anyone else have any other good ideas for what they might want to do, apart from the Greco-Roman terraforming?
Max, buddy, I get that you want to get as far away from him as possible, but At least here when you deal with supervillain attacks they can run into our Dinosaur Mounties and our new laser cannons.

That might take awhile.
The restraining order is the funniest option to me but toon force, rules of three, being Max is suffering...
It's to early for the courtroom drama episode.

As far as DoofOS goes, I think it would be better to keep with it rather than just abandon it - people have already cashed in to DoofOS, so it would probably give us negative publicity to be seen doing so.
Plus, there's something to be said for a redemption arc. That, and, not sure what would happen to whatever refugees and such that are already in our network.

I mean, it's not like the second we make a new OS we're hitting the "delete all" button on DoofOS.
Oh, I know. But them having been refugees and whatall, not sure they'll want to move after finally finding somewhere they thought might be safe.
And if they stay after we've abandoned the OS, they're liable to get deleted or reprogrammed or whatever.

Of the OS options, I'd prefer to repair the firewall on the one we've got before making a new one. My thinking is if we fix our current one, then if we upgrade to a new OS then it'll be easier to sell it if we've got a fully functioning similar product. Plus there is a 10 point difference in the DCs.

This seems like the best option for Martial, unless someone can think of a good black ops hero ball.
Let's start a collaboration. We need to get around to this, and getting around to genetic diseases with Sycorax also helps the CEO, who has one, so that's a good move which will boost relations. Also, in general, it's good to have a genetics partner.
Try to get a start on this, since we did reach out. I want to actually do something with our connections, at this point.
We need to do this, unfortunately.
All of these are good. We need to work on income, but since I'm pretty sure most of the increases here are yearly, that's not urgent. Furthermore, PnF are great for Split/Second and Dino Entertainment, so it might be best to save Split Second for them, since it has a lower DC. Or we could save both of them. A DC decrease from Baekmono is quite good, especially since it'll apply for a lot, but an increased hero cap is also really important. For this action, I just can't say what to do for sure.
Obvious choice is obvious.
We should really get a success on this at least once, though I'd like to only do it with the top Dickens, though that's very expensive.
Speccing into our specialties more is always good. Alternately, we could put it off and get the opportunity to use one of Jumba's personals.
We need this, and we can probably put a less used hero on it, free up a personal for a different hero.
We also need this. However, I'm reluctant to put LOVE MUFFIN on it, since the action doesn't actually include making a copy, just understanding it.
Other obvious choice is obvious. This is why we recruited Juniper.
Seems like a decent use of the Marcnificent Few. Also, we need some cash infusions (though admittedly, I would like to have Janna study more, but ah well).
Russ needs to handle the Hawk investigation, so not this turn, especially since success is unlikely, while Max can... do whatever, I really don't know.
We need this whenever possible.
Maybe Alan, maybe Russ, I really don't know, but Loyalty is good in general.
Both good, though I'm honestly not 100% sure we need the Commodore this turn, considering the massive cost.
Hmm. LOVEMUFFIN has a "Write In" option. Can we tell them to decide for themselves what they want to research, from a list of actions with acceptable DCs? They might appreciate the extra freedom, and we're not really picking their assignments based on what's most useful for us anyways.

I think It'll work for everyone. The muffinheads get to do what they want to do, and we might get some bonuses if they succeed.

Yeah but letting them choose also implies it isn't important, because offering them a choice means we're okay with any of the actions *not* being selected by them this turn, which means none of them are important to complete.
Seems like that will backfire.
We could write in Lovemuffin to "Do Mad Science". Dunno if that would leave them to their devices a bit too much though
True... that's definitely a risk. In that case, maybe we should assign them to "Come Up With New Research Avenues" or go on a company-funded apology vacation.

I think that would be good for their loyalty, but it might backfire for a different reason: based on who they are, and especially who Doof is, it seems like it's kind of giving them our approval to go nuts and be supervillains.

I think that going for obvious synergies is the way to go. Do something RE: DoofOS and also research the SHV, have Marco and Tom doubleup on finding Star, that kind of thing.
Martial: No strong preference at the moment. Maybe upgrade the normbots since that's the lowest hanging fruit. Kinda feel like all the DCs for Martial options are a bit inflated, but that might just be me.
Diplo: No strong opinion. Reach out to one of the kings or reinforce what Xanay and Shego are doing by reaching out the the gov't.
Stewardship: DoofOS firewall or Dino Entertainment. We need cash and better brand recognition, but the digital world isn't going to wait. Given shit went down last turn I don't think we can afford that wait either.
Intrigue: Fuck with Doom, investigate the death.
Learning: Research the SHV, and maybe I dunno cure some genetic diseases for more income and reputation or Silphium for low hanging fruit with mystery box rewards.
Occult: No strong opinion. Maybe summon demons for shits and giggles?
Max getting a restraining order against Bradley is too funny to not do.

Hm....Anyone up for having Wendy upgrade ol' Norm this turn? Having Norm be smarter and actually able to hold a conversation without sounding weird and stilted should be useful, no? Plus, it means he could end his obsession with platypodes next turn, and become a quite useful Martial unit in so doing. Also, look into Hawk's death (Maybe use our personal attention, to be safe), and do dance magic, because...Well, it's pretty much why we hired Juniper at all.

That would sound like we're paying them NOT to do anything, which they'll also get mad about.
Frankly, the only way I think we're going to raise their loyalty back to even a zero is either a VERY high roll on 'Talking to the Bossman', or for us to assign them our highest DC Learning action, and for them to succeed on it. And even then, I don't think it'll raise their loyalty. If they had only a slightly negative opinion of us, it might raise a bit. But right now, they're looking left, right, and center for a reason to hate us. Succeeding a big project seems more likely to affirm their extremely high opinion of themselves, give them ANOTHER Loyalty Malus along the lines of "You doubted our greatness", and encourage them to strike out on their own.

Well, that's obviously different, that's red text aimed at someone else.
He MIGHT be willing. We'd have to pitch it to him, which means we'd need something good to get him with. And I imagine he'll want to make his big debut first.
I think our best bet is assigning Technor to them, probably for several turns at minimum. He's already demonstrated his ability to help supervillains let go of longstanding grudges with Lizzy, so I don't think LOVEMUFFIN taking offense is as likely as people seem to think. And honestly, even if they do it's just a drop in the bucket at this point.

The Plan-Inator has been updated, and I'm pretty sure it has everything. (Note that the In-vest-inator -5 diplo penalty is should be applied under the Misc Flat Mod section.)
Also, the XP-tracker is completely up to date, and for anyone wondering we've got fucktons of the stuff. Just assume everything gets a +10 unless everyone goes on strike at the same time or something.
Anyhow, let me know if I missed anything in my updates. I'm planning on properly incorporating Nemesis Actions - they need to be manually entered for now - as well as adding some Income tracking later, but if any stats, actions, traits, DC's, etc. look off I'll fix'em as soon as I can.
(Which'll be tomorrow, since I'm sleeping now.)

Hmm, let's see...
Martial: Our eventual goal should be to restructure our PMC and get the extra martial slot. Unfortunately, I don't think we can really manage good odds on even a near failure yet, so we should probably do something else this turn, probably either upgrading Norm Prime or the Normbots.
Diplomacy: I think we should open channels to US, but I'm not sure who we should send, since I think Russ is going to be a bit busy. Other than that, I want to collaborate with someone on something I almost don't care what, I just want to actually do it for once.
Stewardship: Fix DoofOS is a must, other than that, something to give us some more income seems indicated, such as dino entertainment.
Espionage: Russ is investigating the death of Alonzo Hawk. Other than that, I don't especially care, though it does occur to me that maybe we could specifically look into why Jumba's research got wiped.
Learning: I was thinking of giving the SHV plans to Lovemuffin, though that comment about them getting upset about not actually making anything is worth considering. Next, I think we should consider the possibility of aiming for a crit on the extra dimensional tech, but other than that I'm pretty open.
Occult: Again, our eventual goal should be to form a coven to get the extra action. I'll have to look at the feasibility of that, especially since I'm not feeling very interested in the other options. Though, if we get another occult slot, that just means more stuff I'm not enthusiastic about... huh.
We should definitely consider continuing Felldrake's quest, and I think it's worth considering putting Juniper on the team, as it would be a way of increasing her possible team ups. Plus, Juniper doesn't have an occult score yet, and this seems like a decent way to clue her in before we set her on dance magic.
As for Personals, I definitely think we should have TECHNOR analyze Lovemuffin, since I'm pretty sure that's going to decrease the DC of reorganizing them, and will probably help figure out how to increase their loyalty. I'd worry about them getting offended, but if anyone can manage to avoid offending a bunch of mad scientists, it's TECHNOR. Another definite is sending Kitsune to mess with Beaks. Aside from that, I kinda want to let Wendy put something on Buzztube, and if we don't send Juniper on a quest, she should get to know her coworkers.
