I'd bet that the fact that this setting is much more dangerous than the canon one means that Artemis Fowl was much better prepared for the attempted double-cross/assassination. Potentially that means that [SPOILERS] didn't happen, but on the other hand it could also be that it DID and we see Artemis grabbing a few generous fistfuls of super-science and/or magic to put [REDACTED] back together again, more powerful than ever.

(I, for one, would be quite interested in the prospect of Butler becoming an enhancile, given he managed to solo a goddamn deep troll with nothing but medieval plate armor and a maul without any kind of superpowers or cyborg augmentation.)
Butler is probably the peak of human Martial, at 40, or maybe a bit over that. Even in a fight with Khan, I wouldn't feel safe betting either way.
 
Toffee has had a negative Crit effect his businesses 3 turns in a row. Seth Supply Co is in some hot shit if I ever saw it.
At some point people have to got to have figured out there's something odd about it, I guess it's only been months of bad luck but surely the IRS or Glomgold will get suspicious at some point? Where are these donations to keep Seth Supply Co afloat coming from?

What do you plan to do with this besides profit Shego?
We can fry other things.
It's really frustrating being a competitor to ENCOM sometimes, not only because they hold a near monopoly on the market but because they are willing to devote inordinate amounts of time and money into making an actually helpful and user-friendly experience? Or so the article you read online told you.
Yeah...
Mirage suspects it may be Negaduck attempting to determine and counteract those preparations, suggesting San Fransokyo may be a target… if she is right. She suggests it may be worth reviewing Mezmerella's status, comparing relative risk to the extreme suspicion her disappearance would cause.
I don't want to move Mez but Mirage isn't going to respond positively to another super associate dying.

Come to think of it, now's not a bad time to try to infiltrate Toffee's corp. Even if we get made, he'll assume we're spying on him for the franchise war. It's a good excuse.

IIRC the government was suspicious of it since pretty much the beginning. Corn was showing up in warehouses without being grown locally or going through customs. They just didn't look too closely because it was food in the middle of a famine.
 
Kermit has gained the traits:

The Great Gonzo: Gonzo's work is… provocative. The positive and negative effects of Opinion are stronger on actions Kermit is assigned to.

Rizzo the Rat, ltd: Rizzo is an invertebrate businessrat who is always working an angle, frequently at the expense of the point of the exercise. Rizzo has a chance to generate 1 funds on any national action Kermit attempts equal to four times the critical failure chance of that action (4 x crit fail %).

@Arathnorn Hello, I had a few questions about the above traits.
  1. Does Gonzo's trait apply if we assign Kermit to a quest action, assuming there is actually something on the quest that could cause an Opinion increase or decrease?
  2. Does Rizzo the Rat's trait roll a separate 1d100 in addition to the National Action's dice roll, or do they use the same dice roll?
    1. For example if an action has a 5% CF chance, do we need the National Action's roll to be 20 or less to get the 1 funds? (Basically meaning we would only potentially get the 1 funds on actions that we've already failed or critically failed on)

Uh, Nys, answering a bit ahead of time, I think you're misunderstanding Gonzo's trait. It doesn't make Kermit more affected by stuff that changes his opinion. It makes it so that the bonus or penalty to his stats CAUSED by his opinion is increased.

Uh, What?

Firstly, I never claimed that the trait would "make Kermit more affected by stuff that changes his opinion". What made you think that I did?

[ ] Sponsor SPLIT/SECOND

Outcome: SPLIT/SECOND show established, +1 funds, gain 1 investment in [Mass Media] moderate public opinion increase

I was under the impression that if we say, assign Kermit to an action that could increase or decrease public opinion (or federal opinion, or opinion of another corporation/faction, etc.) then the change in opinion would be larger than it otherwise would be. You know, considering Gonzo is a reporter now, and the trait mentions his career.

Ah. That makes sense. Yeah, I have no idea there.

[ ] Violate Noise And Light Pollution Laws in Las Vegas
70

Yosemite Sam looked out over the desert with a prideful eye. "Back in the day y'know, they used ta use these hills fer nuclear tests. And tonight, they'll light up again!"

The casino's crowd murmured in quiet appreciation. Except for two young-looking women in the back. They simply smirked.

"Naw, I hope y'all keep a close, close eye on tha' fireworks, because y'all are about ta see something ya ain't never seen before!"

Sam's smile lasted right up until the deafening sound caused him to turn around to the shape of a mushroom cloud billowing across the desert.

The crowd ooed appreciatively.

"IT'S THA END A DAYS YA VARMITS!!!!!!!" Yosemite screamed, already strapping a deer skull to his head and preparing his tribal wasteland leathers. "RUN FER YER LIVES, GET THAE THE DESERT! BURY GOLD! DIG UP THAE GOLD! BLAME THE GOVERNMENT! SHOOT THA CAZADORS, YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

The pint-sized sleazeball disappeared in a cloud of dust moments before the mushroom cloud faded into nothing, as if it were never there.

Janna raised a palm.

Kitsune high-fived it.

===

Winston mentioned that somebody set off a massive illegal firework display in Vegas during your retreat. Thankfully there is absolutely no evidence that it had anything to do with anyone you give money to. None at all, not even if you went into the break room and asked politely. Oh well. Mystery.

===

Just in case you didn't see the edit.
 
Did anything happen mechanically with Kitsune's personal?

Like, Kitsune's friendship with Janna now firmly established narratively, or loyalty for both increased?

Not trying to get anything extra out of it or anything but there doesn't seem to be a outcome besides a large illegal fireworks show happened. Which is a great cap on the Vegas trip.
 
I am legitimately impressed that Janna and Kitsune managed a fireworks display vigorous enough to be even momentarily mistaken for a nuclear event, even by someone as generally excitable and deranged as Yosemite Sam.
 
Fuel Air + Trickster Magic could probably do some wild things.

And on the subject of the franchise wars, I just had a terrible idea. "McGucket's McBuckets". Cascadian themed burger joint, cheap food, raccoon hats for the servers, little mystery toys in every meal, Collect Them All!, all food comes in buckets, and I'm Liking It. Note: Serve sodas that contain actual sugar instead of corn syrup. Healthier for you, and doesn't fund Toffee.
Quest: Rocket's Red Glare-Russ, Wendy, Monogram (If avaliable), Moseby (If Monogram is not avaliable) Tobe
You have my sword vote.
If the government knows enough to tie Toffee to Seth Supplies Co then they will probably be concerned about much bigger things than a little tax fraud.
I'm afraid I do not understand why that is a problem for him. I mean, if it is a problem for him I am all for it, but I do not understand the reasoning.

I'm not sure what you are referring to specifically. Obviously if the government learns that Seth Supplies Co is a front for an extra-dimensional warlord out to conquer the Earth then the relatively minor criminal charges aren't going to matter much anymore.

I mean, do they even know that he's an extradimensional conqueror? If it's just "he's a 'cartoon' lizard guy who owns another supply company", they don't have any specific reason to be concerned, they'd just act in the normal manner. We know it, Xanay knows it, but I'm not sure if anyone else does.

But Russ knows about it no? I mean he is literally spying us for them. I'm pretty sure he would inform the government about it if that were the case.
 
We really need to finish that ODI before Doom starts moving into other dimensions. QMS, probably. And also, make some moves in the Franchise Wars. I say we take a stance on lab-grown meat, at least. Maybe focus test some new recipes (possibly using gene-modded dino meat?), and maybe even decry the competition to ensure the Zaibatsu doesn't outpace us here. Maybe it's just what just happened, but...I feel the urge to not get beaten to the punch on this.
 
The feds defijnately know the Truth about Toffee, Russ and Xanatos would make sure they do. Issue is however, not only was Toffee's Corn needed, but also his businesses are the main job provider for the majority of the Southwest. Making a move to Early both invites Interdimensional Warfare and economical issues.

Oh even if QMS doesn't do it, we could always put Wasabi on it

60 - The American Dragon Emerges

So apparently there's this thing called the American Dragon. It's some kind of thing that happens in Magical New York, and apparently there hasn't been one in a while for some reason. You do not currently have the network in New York to have all the details on who or what it is or why it matters, but this is apparently a Big Deal for the magical community.

You might have the opportunity to learn more if you get involved in this sort of thing.

Calling it now, it's Bryan Danielson, who is secretly a wizard. A wrestling wizard!
 
Wasabi's focus on light/lasers and plasma containment, but the words "and other energy fields" on his bio really feels like we could put him on a few things and have that +20 apply. I feel like the ODI could fit into his focus, maybe.

Either way we just finished AI so let's do the ODI next turn, I'm not getting beat by Doom of all people.

Edit: As an aside, I'm thinking we should focus on the franchise wars as well, to make sure it isn't a waste of money. Two actions minimum every turn sound good?
