Would it not be a good idea to wait on P&F for Dino Entertainment?

It might. They do automatically critically succeed on all Big Idea-able Stewardship projects they pass, even if they cause the DC to raise by 20, and we just got the yearly income so we'll have to wait a while for any Income adjustments to come in handy, but Roddy can also get the Dino Entertainment action done and has an applicable trait that gives him an additional 20.

They're better used on SPLIT/SECOND, since that has a slightly lower DC. And I want one turn of them being free, so we can use them on some other thing, perhaps.

It is difficult for me to imagine an action more fitting for Phineas and Ferb than a dinosaur theme park.

So It's Janna's Bogus Journey in 1st with 15. Recovery: Revised in 2nd with 10, and in Third? Dinosaur King with 6.
I think Split/Second and Dino Entertainment are perfect for P&F, so why not put them off to wait for them and focus on some of our other options?
There are some low-hanging fruit that have been around for a while, and at the very least the hero roster increase is a good idea since we're nearly at the cap.

Oi!
Also, I'm debating dropping the Energy Weaponry from Norm's upgrades to reduce the DC by 10, as MiH has confirmed would work. Does that seem like a good idea? I want to know if people think that's a good trade off.

Good. The GM's been hinting at this being a thing for a while and poking at us to do it, and I don't think they'd be winding us up for an action that's next to impossible to succeed at.

We want Norm upgraded mostly for character development reasons, right? If so, I'm in favor of dropping the weapons.

I've been pushing for Dino Entertainment for about five turns now. I'm not particularly in the mood to wait any longer. Additionally, y'all need income to keep buying Dicken's Detective services (and other things), and Dino Entertainment is a potentially great source of income for a low DC.

Since, in all honesty, it seems like your plan is falling behind, would you be willing to switch to mine, as the one that does have the dinosaurs?

Ah, a captain goes down with his ship.
That said, there's still plenty of time left and I need to rest. You seem to be doing alright for now; so I encourage people to vote for more dinosaurs ala "Janna's Training Montage". I'll go switch votes later.

One thing I'm curious about with the leading vote is why the Orton Mahlson vote?
It seems like pretty low odds for something that doesn't seem to apply to any of our current issues; I mean there are other investigation options with lower DCs or the much more relevant to us spy on employees action is only 5 more

[X] Plan: Janna's Training Montage and a Few Other Things
Thing is, LOVEMUFFIN hated having their work stolen, but that's not the same as working on something else. We can assign them to something else that seems promising, then put them back on space afterwards, and I really don't think they'll be annoyed at all as long as they like the new assignment. It might be a good idea to research sublight drives (not necessarily with LOVEMUFFIN) before putting them back on space, as I highly doubt that reverse engineering a spaceship's propulsion won't lower the DC for improving our space program.
Was it that high? I vaguely remember thinking at the time that it wasn't a particularly impressive roll. In any case, I imagine the difficulty of the roll depends on the loyalty of the hero unit being taught, so now is probably not a good time, but it might be worth revisiting if we manage to bring their loyalty up and/or Technor's sessions prove productive.
We need a solution. Constantly guessing at what they'll like, and hoping they'll like it enough not to hold yet another permanent grudge towards us, has not proven to be a sustainable plan. We have never tried assigning Technor to LOVEMUFFIN, so the likelihood of them taking offense is pure speculation. If LOVEMUFFIN does take offense at Technor's psychoanalyzing, then it'll be a drop in the bucket. Technor is the best option we've got.

Well, there are a few reasons. First off, I don't want to try for something which does harm on a failure. The consequences for a normal failure on an intrigue action can vary wildly. If we failed on Spy on Employees, we could take a loyalty hit. If we failed on infiltrating a hotspot, we could get in a bit of trouble (except for NY, that's likely fine). And I really wouldn't want to risk Oregon or Florida.
The reason for picking this action, then, is pretty simplistic. It's hard, it's a bit of a mystery box, and it's a potential threat (if it's the Pistachions) which we can investigate.
It's not particularly deep reasoning, and I'd be willing to change it if necessary, but it seems fun enough.
It wasn't, as nwish said it was the cybugs. Tron identified the attackers as cybugs in Interlude: 511.

I have made this change to my plan, since the main reason we're upgrading Norm is to get him character development.

While it's true that we need Income in order to continue hiring the Dickens, we just got our yearly income change. Even if we did Dino Entertainment this turn, we'd have to wait another 6 turns before we got the benefits of any Income increases it provides.
What do people think of the Bakaemono Supply Chain or Smarty Mart collab?
Also... I should probably know this by now, but what is Bakaemono?
