Holy shit Mr Mosby, I want him for one particular reason.

His main strength does not lie in tolerance for shenanigans, it is his ability to stop them. Numerous times throughout Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Suite Life on Deck he is not only able to roll with the shenanigans going on, but can actually stop a large number of them in their tracks. He's adept at controlling the chaos that comes from wacky sitcom scenarios, meaning he's a far better for our company than you care to admit.

Plus imagine what he could bring to our choreography!

Bottom rank member, but yes.

He became a member shortly before the start of the Avalon world tour, so he'd have been a member before the point of divergence for this crossover setting.

Counterpoint:

*David "Plans on top of Plans" Xanatos* is a bottom rank member as well - technically, he and Bluestone are "equals" in that regard.

So, being a "bottom-tier" Illuminati in "Gargoyles" does not mean as much as one might think.
 
So, my initial thought is that for the time being we need more Stewardship or Intrigue than Diplomacy, and Stewardship more than Intrigue.

Mechanically speaking, that puts Rebecca and Moseby ahead of other options, as far as I am concerned.

Now, to talk about the guy I know best... In terms of stats and predictable personality, Bluestone looks like he could fill the Russ shaped hole in our life. He seems to have an Occult score, but like Russ we can expect him to be a knowledgeable mundane, rather than an user of magic.

Big downside? He is an illuminati.

He has this in a pin, which he probably wears sometimes.



This may cause some issues in the long run.

In the plus side, if you want to know some of Xanatos' dirty laundry, he probably knows a bunch of stuff.

Did we already make that dinosaur amusement park yet? If we haven't then we really need to get Mr Mosbey, amusement parks usually have hotels don't they?

Yes, we did.

[X][Stewardship] Dinosaur Entertainment (Roddy Blair) (CoS: 82%, 92% w/ XP)
DC 75 (Reduced by XP)
71+24+29+2=126
Great Success
Since most of the work had already been done by Mendel-Gruman, creating a dinosaur park was as simple as drawing up the plans and setting some construction crews on it. Roddy had plenty of experience in designing structures for super-strong and incredibly violent individuals, so opening day was able to go off without a hitch! So far the park is a smashing success, though not quite as world-shattering as you were hoping. Dinosaurs are still quite cool, but the novelty seems to have died down a bit. Memes about 'the raptors getting out' are of course circulating all over social media, but in reality the park has multiple redundancies and failsafes, and even if a creature did somehow escape it wouldn't really be much more dangerous than, say, an elephant. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most of the profit is in the gift shop.
Public opinion has increased!
Gain Doofrassic Park, +2 Income per year


From the May turn.
 
Hey now I wouldn't count him out of the race fully, he's mentioned as after Suite Life on Deck so this man has solidly absorbed 6-8 years of Shenanigans.

Also he might let us contact the Tiptons and meeting rich folk with alot of connections is a potential boon anytime.

So, here's what I think Doof might be able to do to Moseby: Doof can teach him the healing power of vengeance and backstories.

At which point, everything burns. Forever. Moseby is a man who has been wronged almost as many times as Doof, and sometimes almost as badly. Do we really want to teach this man the healing power of Evil and Vengeance?

I mean, I kinda want to? But it would probably end up blowing up in our face if we did.

Tbf, Becky's BS Tolerance isn´t that high either considering her erratic behavior towards the likes of Baloo.
Becky's tolerance for Baloo's shenanigans being erratic might be due to that underlying Casa Blanca-style unresolved romantic will-they-won't-they nonsense between them. She has a fair amount of her own hairbrained schemes in the show too.
 
To be honest I want both Mosby and Rebecca, so I'll be fine if either wins so long as we get the other before someone else does. Do you think we could heroball them?

Those hare-brained schemes of her own are a reason why I don´t see her being "worthy" of 4 stars in Stewardship - definitely two and maybe three, but not *Four*

I do like her in her more sedated and nice moments, but in general she´s just too unstable to do her job (imho Higher for Hire only survived against the likes of SK because he never really *Bothered* ruining her day)
 
Every time we've taken a hero that doesn't like shenanigans (except Roddy, who has a high tolerance up to a point), we get burned because they can't be used as we want them to. Wasabi's a work in progress and we know that, but there's no indication Moseby will ever be a good fit at DEI. We're never gonna have any issues with Rebecca on that front.
Can you provide some examples, because this seems just plain wrong. The only heroes I feel like we've ever gotten burned on are L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N. and Hego, neither of whom were low nonsense.

And this is a reason not to hire him?

Also, as an aside, Mosbey was a Three Stooges fan in cannon. While it's not exactly the same, the style of comedy is close enough that he might have a fondness for Toons, which would fit our brand.
 
We could make use of it, if we had any in-character reason to think Doom isn't human. We don't. We don't any apparent way of trying to get such a reason. Even if Russ comes back "a toon that can kill" doesn't directly lead to a toon pretending not to be a toon.
We do have "Investigate the Murderous toon" which could lead us down that path.

Vanessa and Max early on. Max is coming into his own but it took *years* both in and out of game for that to happen. Vanessa we just never really got to use much because of her restrictions. Now, most of that was Doof's neuroses. But from a practical standpoint it's pretty similar to if her temperament was "no adventures".

And this is a reason not to hire him?

It's a reason I prefer Becky. I wouldn't mind Moseby too much.
 
There is an important thing that has so far gone un mentioned in the thread.
The contract was snapped up by none other than Flintheart Glomgold, richest duck in the world, who for some reason known only to himself felt the need to hire outside of his usual contact pool. Information security stipulates that we do not know, officially, what was done, but given Genghis Khan's newfound interest in biplanes it was likely related to air pirates in some way. Temujin confirms he obtained an unidentified object and 'taught a lesson' to what he described as 'foul actors'. He then chuckled to himself, making a noise like a truck engine stalling, and said something about how he 'had to tell Ludivine that one'. Given he seems in very good spirits, we can assume he did what he does best. For his part, Glomgold left a favorable review and a 'donation' to the Dino Institute that he could write off on his tax forms.
Glomgold hired Khan to deal with someone with an affinity for biplanes.

We know someone who uses biplanes, and are air pirates.
As the sound of whirling propellers rose to a deafening pitch, an entire biplane forced its way through the window. Its wings sheared off immediately, splinters flying everywhere and a metal bar catching one of the pirates in the leg, sending him howling....

The newest arrival stood up, bruising a few specks of dust off of a high-collared blue jacket accentuated by splashes of red. He had a pair of rolled, baggy pantaloons covering his legs, and a wicked-looking sabre held in one orange paw. He was a wolf, a fox, or something like one, and on top of everything he wore an enormously satisfied smile.

"Dos vidalias, flying castle-type persons. Today, jou have ze honor of being relievehd of jour valuables by ZE DREAD PIRATE, DON KARNAGE!"
I consider our vengeance against Don Karnage for attacking Malf's castle to be complete and Glomgold payed us for the privilege of doing it!

I still want to get further revenge.

Fair enough on Max, I honestly kind of forgot about him entirely. As for Vanessa though, I'm inclined to blame her dead-weight status on both Doof's psychosis, as well as the fact that her stats just weren't very good even we could have put her on dangerous stuff.
 
Of the six choices I favor Rebecca and Bluestone.

Rebecca as a dedicated stewardship unit or Bluestone as a dedicated intrigue unit with strong occult synergy.

We are pretty good on intrigue and bluestone is basically in the same niche as Russ so he might be redundant but narratively I think he and Russ would be great together.

Rebecca I feel would do very well on more business type stewardship actions which we are generally not that good at because of our corporate culture. If she has a high tolerance for wackiness I think she would be a great fit and would make friends with our more serious heros like Mirage, Roddy, Wasabi, Max, Alan, and potentially Kermit if we go for hoppers next turn.
 
Let's.... not recruit an accidental Bill spy.

.... Bill knows what the Illuminati are up to.

Which makes me wonder how David is holding up against Bills growing influence (I am pretty certain he knows about at least some of the things going on in Oregon, since he called Toffee - a *dimensional conqueror controlling several worlds already* - "ONE of the biggest threats Earth is facing at the moment", which means that Xanatos knows of threats even higher on the totempole)

Heatherfield is in his backyard, so he is likely aware of Phobos.
