[X] Create NOWCA as a floating hero unit.

By the way, it is at this moment where in the series a song would begin and we would have a scene of action of war against cats to the song of the music, any idea of what song we are wavering

Unsure about how they'll be finding the votes for one vs wo options in the tally, so figured I'll just copy Nystical's example for now. Can change later if needed.

Okay, if the option is between buff Monogram and extra action, action economy suggests that the floating hero option would be better.

At the same time, if NOWCA is going to have a similar statblock to LOVEMUFFIN (presumably with an inclination towards Intrigue) a higher value hero unit may be better, because one of the things that kept coming up with LM was that there weren't all that many actions with rolls sufficiently low for them to succeed.

We've been told that the statblock of NOWCA is going to be Monogram's current statblock plus some small extra goodies. So they will be better in all stats except learning compared to LOVEMUFFIN. (And only 5 worse than LOVEMUFFIN in learning)

One thing we could potentially do with them is lend them as condottieri to the federal government, which could give us some income and some rep with them.

That's why I don't want them as a floating unit, we used LOVEMUFFIN extremely poorly because they were a free action and I don't want to do that with Monogram.

...No, we didn´t "use them extremly poorly" - We used them in a perfectly reasonable (if a bit cautious) manner and THEY decided they wanted *more and more until nothing but us handing over Doofaniawoulda sated their egos*.

Well, I AM SORRY that we gave a bunch of interns only intern-level jobs and not stuff Albert Einstein would have looked at in awe...*not*

I think it's safe to say that the thread has learned from LOVEMUFFIN- if NOWCA starts expressing dissatisfaction, the thread's going to be more proactive about unruffling their feathers instead of saying "eh, it can wait a turn". Additionally, NOWCA doesn't consider misanthropy and arrogance to be requirements for joining, so they're going to be more patient about unpleasant jobs.

Yeah, NOWCA will probably be quite a bit more professional about having to do "menial labour" and more to the point, *clear about what they consider "menial labour"* in the first friggin place.

Anyway, in terms of plan foci, I am torn between "focussing on collateral damage reducal" (Doofania & People - would generate for both DEI and the cape population, since both Khan and Jumbas cover story amounts to "eccentric cape with a certain theme") and "focussing on enemy apprending" (Kat & Golem - would bring the fight to the enemy)...pretty sure that between our PMC, Normbots and laser turrets, the HQ of DEI can hold out on its own for a little longer.

As for the NOWCA angle, I am leaning towards making them a floating HU akin to a *less shitty* LM - because let´s be honest, what could we use even a buffed Monogram for that most of our other operatives can´t do as well? Additionally, having an extra action slot is always nice to have, especially if the HU in question is at least somewhat reasonable about what they want. (As for a first use of their extra action, *have them infiltrate Zootopia* - would be a perfect assignment for a bunch of animal agents)

Our big issue with NOWCA probably won't be satisfaction, it'll be the fact that as highly trained animal agents there are some jobs that won't be suitable for them.

They can handle a lot of diplo actions with Monogram as their face, but if we try and send them to do something like collab with Xanatos on a project I think the QMs might end up staring at us through half-lidded eyes with a gaze that implores us to answer the question "Why the hell did you think that was a good idea?"

Of course, this IS disney, and there's a precedent for magical woodland creatures dancing to showtunes, so they'll probably be a great aid to... the Musical.
 
I'm tempted to focus on preserving Doofania, because otherwise we'd probably need to pay income to repair it (again) and I don't want our income hole to become even deeper than it is.
 
The Flynn-Fletcher scene was pretty fun and this is definitely an interesting group of characters to have work together

I mean Zootopia is a thing, not to mention the people of Duckberg, etc.

I think most actors on an international scale wouldn't be particularly phased by intelligent animals.
 
[X] Fold OWCA into Monogram's statblock to create a revitalized Major Monogram Hero

Someone might as well vote for upgrading Monogram. I don't really care enough about Kataclysm either way. Other than that I knew activating the Avatar was a mistake and being proven right feels good.
 
Hey, I've found the right music for my proposed plan of action.

Never. Split. The. Party.

We were facing bad odds to begin with, the avatar has made things worse and dividing priorities will make them even worse again, particularly because if the Avatar requires Occult rolls to gain control over the thing... we do not have even vaguely decent Occult options here.

There's a difference between animal people that are treated as humans and really smart animals that are treated as animals until proven otherwise. NOWCA can benefit from being the latter because most people don't look at say, a weird cat, and expect it to be up to something outside of what animals usually do.

It's why Kat is so good at his job. Only someone like Doof has been exposed to animal agents enough to suspect them on principal... when they are wearing hats. This is a barrier to detecting Kat's covert antics, but one Doofania is uniquely suited to addressing.
 
Can we have our ancient ancestor join in to control that thing? Can't get much worse. P&F and C will likely be dealing with Kat, so protecting the public is next on the list. Mainly by capturing cats. Can Jumba come up with an anti-serum?

Seriously though, Malifishmertz would be good to have for that action.
