Hmm... out of curiosity (provided that Mojave is willing to share his opinion, given that he's the one who created the character sheets that include the traits I'm interested in discussing), I wonder how does the crit-fail range increase from the Meep Meep! trait interact with Still Something of Value's reduced crit-fail range? Would they cancel each other out (leaving the crit-fail range to be the usual of rolling equal or below 50% of the DC of the action), or would one trait take precedence over the other here?
I'm pretty sure that specific combination would never arise. The only way Xanatos would ever bother trying to catch the Roadrunner is if someone shot him with a Stupid Ray-inator.
Should we do some talks with Khan next as well?
We need to get our double actions going, or we
can't. Too much going on too fast.
You know, since it's 2015 in-universe should we plan for a trump presidency? Would be very unhelpful for the federal government, but the additional chaos could be very useful.
Over and above the QM's disinterest, the circumstances of Trump's candidacy have been butterflied hard enough that there is no reason to assume he'd even run, if he exists in-setting. Large swathes of the country are either effectively depopulated wasteland that won't be voting, or are dominated by mind control bowlers, for starters.
It looks like we need to rip up the crime in our area by the roots before whoever is taking over the underworld gets their hooks in to ours. If they haven't already anyway.
I don't think there's any one figure behind the rise of crime
throughout the American West. It's just a matter of opportunism. Hell, it's very possible- even likely- that organized criminals may flee our area (where they've been hunted first by OWCA and then by the Mongol PMC hordes), making cleanup within our borders
easier.
I think crime in Doofania is handled, actually
Maybe. Then again, we have no shortage of Martial heroes at this point.
Guys here's my theory on why crime is expanding at a exponential rate.
I believe that it's all connected. The crime groups only really started developing after the St. Canard breakout. But what if they're all connected?
A prisoner in St. Canard is planning to create a national syndicate that covers all of America with Doomtown being their base of operations.
Here's the timeline
- The prisoner breaks out of St. Canard (May/June 2015)
- He first tries to put his organization in Middleton (Drug organization), the Calisota Conglomerate and Doomtown. Calisota repels them but they gain a foothold in Middleton and Doomtown (July/August 2015)
- They then assimilate all crime in Doomtown which allows them to gain a base of operations to plan. (September/October 2015) (They could have also possibly supported one the supervillains in Doofania?)
- With the fall of Kronos they start expanding at a rapid rate. They take Omnidroids for themselves. They sell more drugs in Middleton and start taking control of crime in Boise, Carson City, Spokane and Richland. They also terrify Alonzo Hawk into abandoning his efforts in investigating them. (November/December 2015).
Alternate hypothesis: Multiple, entirely different villains from the St. Canard breakout are responsible for the events in Middleton and the events in Doomtown. A LOT of bad guys broke out of there, and I'm pretty sure Negaduck wasn't the only A-lister villain in there.
There doesn't have to be any single individual involved in this, and the sheer number of actions being taken simultaneously and in parallel argues
against central coordination unless other major players' action economy works differently than ours.
I'm pretty sure that the feds are gonna have trouble with the new crime syndicates, though.
I agree. We have an action to get rid of him, but honestly, he's just an old man. Bullying him, further would go beyond tactical to unethical and beyond evil.
No see, he
is the spymaster for an overtly murderous anti-toon faction. I don't think that terrorizing him into leaving the unknown player in LA is
that bad, even. My main point is that it isn't really... well, my sense is that it's not Negaduck's style,
personally. Negaduck would just show up and blow Alonzo Hawk up with a bazooka or something.
