The real question is if we can find a way to direct Wasabi's specialty, optics, in the direction of the two markets we have the potential for highest growth in. (As you say, robotics and genetics)
DoofQuest- a Disney Villains Victorious CK2-Style Quest
- Thread starter Made in Heaven
- Start date
- Crossover
Even if we cant, Wasabi is now our second Highest Stewardship unit (With P&F having an effective bonus of 18 and 8 on most actual actions do to their traits).

While Von Drake's tutoring does have diminishing returns tutoring units with already high Learning (hence why we can't have her tutor Doof), the difference in scores between the two of them is still big enough that it shouldn't be an issue yet.
She did claim she will stabilize the tech by the end of the episode, and since she's alive by season 3, presumably succeeded. She is an accredited physicist, after all
Even if she hasn't succeeded in making it fully reliable yet, we're already looking into our own portaltech, so we could improve her tech.
Gomez is also not a good spy. Really, he does one thing (arguably two, since it's Learning/Occult), and he does it decently. Trying to slot him into any area outside of his specialty is a waste of his actual skills and a hindrance to the real specialists in that field.

It also has diminishing returns if done more then once. We will, at best, get 1 learning out of this, which isnt a point of occult.
We'd need to Heroball him, or find other ways to increase his intelligence.

If that's the case, either hire another hero unit or use Lizzy until we hire enough heroes to reassemble it. Gomez' opportunity cost for us is gigantic, while Lizzy simply isn't as essential for our turn planning.
As you've said, Lizzy's main use is her Learning/ Stewardship and her Marcnificent trait for the Feldrake questline. If we Heroball Lizzy, we can still send the Heroball, Lizzy, and Kitsune on the quests, thus providing her full bonuses and an excellent Quest Leader, and still have an actually effective Martial Heroball on the turns Janna's not questing.
I know people are attached to Lizzy being Janna's friend first and foremost, but putting Gomez on Black Ops does not make sense on any level. Every way you look at it, Lizzy's a better fit.
I was hoping he and/or the Duke might show up to compete, yes.
I do not recall this. Where was this said?

I think you're making an assumption here. The roll was rather meh IIRC anyway. And they only said it *may* have diminishing returns. Not that it *will* which is what you are saying for some reason.

Even so, I think you're mistaken on your conclusion that the improvement will necessarily be 1 point. There is the actual roll on the action to consider (which is generally does the bulk of determining the results).

Thats fair, I still wouldnt put to much faith in it allowing Gomez to keep up over time though.

All the debate about write in quests for the coming turn seems a little silly. Let's just do Rocket's Red Glare.
The only point against is that an npc on the quest knows it's Fourth of July themed and will complain. A little fourth wall-leaning humour over our lack of proper etiquette. Not a good enough reason to send four units chasing... well, nothing, just for the sake of having a quest on the retreat turn when we already have one on offer.

I mean, considering part of the motivation to do the quest is to increase the federal opinion of us, I think caring about what the "NPC" has to think would be important, no?

No, over time it's more beneficial if he joins a Learning Heroball, which will spike his effectiveness in the short-and-mid term. But even as he currently is, it'll be a while before Doof's Occult improves enough to make other units competitive with Gomez.

I doubt the actual government will care we did it on the 'wrong turn' for its theme. A hyper patriot, narrative-focused hero unit on the ground like Sam the Eagle might gripe but I seriously, seriously doubt it'll impact our actual government opinion.
I mean the big issue here is more that we only have 3 Occult Heroes Total. You generally should have a stat in or near 20 to be considered good at it, and Tom is a loser who refuses to collect his paychecks since he has a "Real Job", so we got gremlin Fox, Gremlin Child, and Balding Old Man as our magic department.

Pretty much. And of those, the Gremlin Fox only half the time and the Gremlin Child gets distracted easily. However, good Occult units who are unattached are hard to find, as we saw in the auction.
Even then, Gomez fits in very well with the company culture of Mad Scientists mad sciencing, which is why I hope he could be Heroballed with Doof himself.

Well, for Occult units, we did just unlock an action to look for magic users and magical creatures this turn. We could give them a try, we always seems to find at least one person we'd be happy with when we do.

Actually, we already had an action to recruit a new occult unit:
Honestly, Flubber has so much potential and so many possible applications.
But people in this quest treat it like a pariah.
I'm gonna be voting damage control, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up on it winning.

That is probably because it is, literally, a pariah.

I don't know, I think Agent [404], from The Actual Government, having increased loyalty over the fact we America'd would by extension improve The Actual Government's opinion of us as he puts in one-or-morw good words.

1) not necessarily;
And,
2) QM said that it's an NPC. Can't be Agent Unknown.

To me, Flubber seems like something that would have been much more useful if the quest took a different path. If we didn't Appease the Feds early on and instead actually seceded, the opinion-related negatives of Flubber wouldn't have been nearly as much of a concern. As it stands, though, making use of Flubber closes as many doors as it opens.
Would we be shelfing Flubber permanently or just temporarily? Like if we ever campaign that it's safe could we open them back up for research?
