...And there go our plans to make Kermit our "face" in the Franchise Wars, I guess...
So they might be a publically recognized offshot of *Toys* instead?
Best not to think about it. As in, it has been shown in the past that, if you think about it too hard, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew shows up to test whatever hypothesis you can come up with...Hm. Actually, might be an easy way to start reuniting the Muppets. And Honeydew does seem like our type of people.
Anyway! I have my concerns about Cruella, but that Diplo is VERY tempting. Which is not to downplay Kermit's Diplomatic skill, which is also top tier. This takes a lot of the sting out of fusing Technor into Black Ops.

mook.
Yeah, that's why we now need to do another musical
I'd love to, who's our competition, Doom?
We're established, we just need to improve the Red Railroad or whatever, grab Doom's toons, maybe establish a presence in LA. Get cred from stopping Negaduck, maybe. We do love our songs and toons.
On another note, this is the only section that says 'High potential for growth', we might want to prioritize AI and robotics over dinosaurs for a bit.
I know this is an unpopular idea, as we don't want to upset the government, but considering that they don't like us anyway, I'd really like to reach Monopoly in Widgets. That's an extra +3 per turn, limiting all other companies to a maximum of +3 in Widgets and giving them a significant malus. ...Not that I know what actions could improve a Widget score.

If need be we can always just sell Doc Hoppers to Glomgold or Xanatos.
I'm less worried about upsetting the government and more worried about the action sink. Apparently a monopoly would take actual effort to maintain, unlike our current sweet deal where we effectively get paid to gamble with Inators.

Again, I´d rather at least *Try* to make some headway in the Wars before bowing out again.

Do or do not, there is no try.
And I mean this entirely seriously. If we simply bail out now, we'll have gotten a bit of income, and selling Hopper's in a market where there are many buyers, before we're really desperate, will likely get us a bit more. But once we've tried, we'll only ever sell after we're losing, and after having invested quite a few actions. That seems like the real losing move.
So, we should either bail out now, or fully commit. And knowing us, we won't fully commit.

Actually, probably the smarter thing to do would be to finish these actions (at least the first 3) before we sell. Otherwise, we won't know the true value of what we have and will mindlessly accept a lowball offer.
Plus, we need to do these actions anyways to unlock the mechanic so it would be beneficial long term outside of fast food anyway.

Well, we know that we shouldn't sell for less than 7 Income, ideally not less than 9, so that we'll have gained 5 income and 1 hero unit from 2 National Actions. I feel like selling to Xanatos might actually work, here.

Turn that around though: if we make some headway, Give Xanay serious trouble, we can ask for a better price when he's backed into a corner.
@Made in Heaven Just to be sure, does the "Eye of the Hurricane" trait from Kermit proc on any Stewardship action (so if we fail a stewardship national Kermit could get a +25 for another unrelated stewardship national) or is it like "Disciple of Jo-Lan" and its only for quests?

Here's the big problem with that plan. It involves us focusing on that long enough to actually back Xanatos into a corner, which past experience has shown me we're not exactly capable of. And, frankly, I think that level of investment is beyond what we really want, too.

We shouldn't give any reasons for Xanatos to consider us an enemy, and trying to drive his effort in the Franchise War down to our sole benefit can be perceived as a hostile manouver. Also, I share BurnBright's opinion that we won't manage to drive Xanatos into a corner.
To be fair, Xanatos isn't really the type to hold grudges, especially over what it is, in the end, just business. That said, he's also not the type to not play hardball, so...Fair point.

Okay but does he believe that because he actually met an angel that looked like Whoopie Goldberg? I wonder if we could use his experience to attempt to summon Daniel. Enochian magic would cover some of our major gaps.
Who's Daniel? Also, no offense, but...I feel an angel may have doubts about working with someone who employs several Black Magic practitioners, including a literal demon, and has the word "Evil" in his company name.
The Froggy Ninja
The Blade Will Never Die
Kermit's personal angel from Its A Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. And I think any angel worth the name would probably be willing to compromise given how non-malicious we are compared to the current state of the world. Hell, even Tom's a pretty chill dude, especially for a demon.
Hm...Maybe, but, as he's Kermit's personal angel, he's probably a PA.
The Froggy Ninja
The Blade Will Never Die
Well, he started out as a cubicle monkey but he was promoted to field agent for the duration of the film at least, and he's well known to take action in opposition to the divine bureaucracy. I'd say he's our best shot at divine magic, and likely to exist in a similar "keeping an eye on the doofus to make sure he doesn't do anything too evil" category as Russ.
BTW I should note, i am fine with trying out the franchise wars, especially if we steal away Sycorax from Yokai.
Fair enough.
Also...If we don't have to use the PA to remove Flubber next turn...Who wants to try chatting with Goofy as well as Ludivine? We can now do more then one chat per turn, and Goofy's right on the threshold of 50 loyalty...And we still haven't figured out what those special traits are...

mook.
Sure, but making the assumption that this is balanced, it's still good to have one. Wouldn't have so much struggle against it if it wasn't worth it. That -30 to anyone doing anything in that industry is nasty.

You are right, there is only a 0.0028 chance the flubber fiasco happens again.
Would rather chat with Janus or start the Intrigue training with Mirage. We havent chatted with Janus yet and we had some big revelations regarding the New Men and such on top of him being our CFO and councilor. Could gain a lot of business direction and a well thought out business plan from talking to him. Or maybe even upgrade our stewardship training personal to be with Janus rather than Doof trying by himself.
