This is Silent Grove spending 1000 XP to lower the Bonus of "Establish a Formal Spy Network".

Someone worked it out and you're apparently better off if you give that roll a bonus rather than reducing the DC
So, I've just binged this and I really enjoyed it! I saw that there were some concerns about whether Establishing a Spy Network would be worth it due to the fact that nearly all of the Intrigue options would fail without a hero assigned to it. I do believe that the spy network will give us more rival reports. It would be handy to at least have rumors of what Greatest Rival Shego or Kronos Corp are up to.

"The date is April 7, 2016 and this Officer Krupky conducting the interrogation. Sir, could you introduce yourself for the record?" Krupky glanced at the camera in the corner.
"Bert." The felt-skinned suspect rubbed his wrists, straining against his steel cuffs. "I want to speak to my lawyer."
Krupky frowned. "I was thinking we could talk a little until he gets here. Would that be okay?"
"...I guess."
"You're from Sesame Street, right? I used to patrol down there. I know you folks got a raw deal."
"Raw deal? You don't know the half of it."
"I guess not. That's why I'd like to hear from you. Maybe you tell your side of the story and I see about getting those cuffs off you."
Bert sighed. "It all started a few years ago with Mr. Grump and his skyscraper. Sesame Street was supposed to be rent-controlled city housing, but money talks in this city. It's a lot easier being green."
"Right. I think I read about that. They tore all those apartments down. What did you do?"
"Well - not to brag - but as chapter president of The National Society of W Lovers, I managed to pull some strings. To make a long story short, we scraped together enough money to pay rent in the West Village."
"I'm happy to hear that, but that doesn't really explain how you got here today."
"How I got here today? You should know! You brought me here, Officer, and handcuffed me to this table."
"Bert - What I meant was, how did you go from chapter president of the NSWL to the single most powerful cookie kingpin in the Northeast."
"Oh... that. Well that money didn't last forever, you see. Pretty soon, we needed a way to keep making money or we'd be living out of trash cans. Fortunately, my friends are all very special people with unique talents. What's one of your talents, officer?"
Krupsky pursed his lips. "Can we get back to your story?"
"I can see conversation isn't one of them." Bert looked straight into the camera. "But like I was saying. Our accountant makes sure no-one is short-changing us and he shuffles around the numbers, and there's a professional keeps up quality control, though you might call him an addict. You see Officer, everyone has something they're good at. We started small and before we knew it we were raking in the dough."
"Don't you mean baking in the dough?"
"I don't have time for games officer. I didn't wrest control of the underground cookie trade by wasting time. I did it by being exacting, precise, and giving twice as bad as I got. I had to learn on my feet or starve."
"So your impact on local crime was what, community service? Your organization has been more effective at stopping the coke trade than the NYPD."
"Sugar is sugar, officer. Most people don't care how they get it." Bert strained against his cuffs. "Does the DA have enough yet? I put a lot on the line for this plea deal."
"Just one more thing - why'd you do it?"
"Why?" Bert tightened his hand into a fist. "Officer, it might be easy for you to sit there and treat me like a common criminal, but you're not the one who had to make the hard choices. Sure, there's been plenty of ugliness, some people might've gotten hurt, but everything I did, I did to help my friends. I stand by my decisions."
"No, I mean why go into organized crime? Cookies aren't illegal."
"They're not?" If Bert had eyelids, his eyes would've been wider than then ever. He trembled with rage. "ERNIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Okay fixed it and I was confused on how p.a. rerolls worked

So, I checked the calculations for the administrative efficacy bonuses and we have a 75% chance of critting thanks to acme unlimited
if I remember right. f you want to prevent a crit fail, I think you are usually better with a roll bonus. If you want to encourage for a crit success you are better lowering the DC. Since we usually spend on high DC actions we don't want to fail, roll bonuses are usually better.

Just saw the Edna mode omake.... got me thinking...
If she did business with syndrome but INTENTIONALLY went against every rule she had AND gave him the biggest grandest cape PERFECT for getting snagged and such....
Sure it would rankle her professional pride.... But i think her seeing it as a way to eventually cause his downfall being well worth it.

Lowering the DC is almost universally better, actually, since every time the DC is lowered the crit fail threshold is lowered by 2.

Also question. Are the side story omakes not marked non canon canon or are they semi canon?

They are non-canon. Some parts of some omakes may also be part of canon, but the only way to be sure any detail in an omake is canon is if it gets placed in threadmarks
.... No, it isn't. The crit success is, but the crit fail is lowed by .5
Take a DC 80 action. Its natural crit fail is 40. Its natural crit success is 160.
Take a DC 70 action. Its natural crit fail is 35 . Its natural crit success is 140.
80-70=10, 40-35=5. 160-140=20.
So we can see that lowering a roll by 10 reduces the crit fail by 5, and the crit success by 20.

This is the difference between boosting the roll and reducing the DC for the reroll on Spy Ring (DC 115, roll boost of 46). I think it's slightly better to drop the % of a critical fail from 0.36% to 0.01% in this case, but the difference is very small. Fractions of a percent small.
But if the DC was say, 72, then it is much better to reduce the DC.
| Reroll Outcomes | No XP | Boost | Reduce |
| Critical Fail | 1.21% | 0.01% | 0.36% |
| Regular Fail | 32.43% | 23.03% | 22.68% |
| Bare Failure | 12.60% | 10.60% | 10.60% |
| Success | 53.44% | 65.84% | 65.64% |
| Critical Success | 0.32% | 0.52% | 0.72% |
But if the DC was say, 72, then it is much better to reduce the DC.
| Reroll Outcomes | No XP | Boost | Reduce |
| Critical Fail | 0.01% | 0.01% | 0.01% |
| Regular Fail | 2.24% | 0.24% | 0.24% |
| Bare Failure | 4.00% | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| Success | 89.75% | 73.75% | 53.75% |
| Critical Success | 4.00% | 24.00% | 44.00% |

Makes me think of the tabletop game I heard about. Rebel agents in Star Wars working as Imperial engineers and construction people, deliberately breaking every OSHA rule they could think of to jeopardize the safety of as many Imps as possible. Why else would the Death Star be the way it was?

Ha!
Yeah.... Wonder if we could do something like that.
Have some animal agents infiltrate in deep cover in some areas and intentionally screw with some things to make it easier for us to do shit against them....
I wonder how dip with it's INSANE acid content would fare against an equally powerful base....
I am sure everyone here is familiar with the acid + base reaction of vinegar and baking soda..... Now imagine that reaction several hundred fold more powerful.....
Would do some INSANE structural damage AND destroy massive amounts of dip at the same time... Now, imagine doom without his dip stores..... Why, i dare say he would be all but helpless from a toon invasion.....
After all, if he can't take them down all we have to do is make it a battle of attrition....
Also maybe we should study dip at some point to maybe find a way for toons to defend against it or make an anti-dip that strengthens toons.
Also considering doom himself is a toon..... having some knowledge on dip would be useful

Dip is hardly acidic. Acetone is neutral in pH, turpentine is about as acidic as orange juice, and benzene's not going to do anything to the resulting solution either.
