Mmm, but supply lines kinda need to be persistent and reproducible, which Big Ideas projects can't be. So I'm not sure if it would apply here? I think we need to use it for more discrete projects, like Castle Doofhawk, Dino Farms, or Doofbook (and boy do I want to see what they'd do with Doofbook).
Of course, even if Big Ideas didn't apply they'd still be 38 Stewardship good at comedizing our supply lines, so assigning them to that wouldn't exactly be a waste.

Which means if Big Ideas apply, their irreplicability turns into a big Plus instead.
I wonder how the Social Media platform would affect the Masquerade though.

Given how eccentric we are and how gullible the people seem to be, no matter how incredible it seems, it's probably just really good programming. What, you say that it shouldn't be able to make standard screens into holographic projectors? I don't know what you're talking about. Really good programming.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards using them for Moving Castle Doofhawk or creating a social media platform. I would prefer to call it something like Daytaker instead, given their interest in "finding something to do today".

Without any fanfare, David Xanatos has announced the creation of the Fox Xanatos Memorial Foundation on the third anniversary of his wife's passing. The foundation will provide financial assistance to any employees who are put into a financial burden as the result of a recent death in their family.

Spectacular Success
The Middleton Drug Cartel has diversified its offerings into several distinct products that are far more stable than their previous power-granting drug. Throughout the midwest and even as far south as Texas, a new product called 'Upper' has been making the rounds, granting its users a sense of euphoria and temporary flight. There are surprisingly very few downsides, with most of the injuries coming as a result of the flight running out midair.

Olympia only underscored this new commitment by beginning to 'sponsor' a new cape. Superheroine Voyd, who made waves during the eventful performances of the Sands Gala, has been chosen as a new face for superheroes everywhere. Olympia has indicated that it will be taking on financial responsibility for Voyd's work until such time as the SRA is repealed, explaining that they are 'that confident that Voyd's actions will prove unequivocally the aid and benefit Supers bring to our communities'.

DC 50

Critical Success
Judge Doom has begun an extremely successful posthumous smear campaign on one Oliver Sansweet, said by many to be the man single-handedly responsible for ending the Golden Age and ushering in the SRA. Sansweet has been out of the public eye for decades now, but the recent defamation campaign has brought him back in the public consciousness as nothing more than a sniveling ambulance chaser and probably communist who should never have been saved from his attempted suicide by Mr. Incredible. This scathing rhetoric had the side effect of making Judge Doom look all the better in the eyes of superhero supporters.

[ ] Stage an attack on the LAPD
DC 50 (Reduced by ???)
48+35+23+10=116
Critical Success
Incredible news comes out of LA today as, in a seemingly impossible attack, frighteningly funny former Fearsome Five member Quackerjack kidnapped the entire LAPD in a single afternoon! Rigging the police department as a giant spinning top, Quackerjack absconded with Chief Bonkers and nearly all his men, forcing Doom to pay a humiliating ransom for their return. While the humiliation of the police might give Doom reason to be happy that this will grant him further ammunition in both his anti-Toon and pro-Super crusades, it also comes as a terrible blow to his own finances and prestige, and has raised serious questions about the competency of the Toon Doom placed in charge of stopping crime, considering the sheer degree to which the villain appears to have just waltzed into the building.
Curiously, some early reports of the dramatic events mis-identified Quackerjack as Zaphire, a much weaker Saint Canard escapee believed to be operating in the area.

Khan has taken a measured, careful approach towards disapproval of the SRA. Since Cape Suzette is an unincorporated territory, Khan only has to worry so much about the status of an American law. Nonetheless, his general distaste for vigilantism has led him to rally against what he describes as 'an inefficient and chaotic means of law enforcement'.

67+54+50=171
Decent Success
The First Municiberg Bank, infamous for being the location from which Sansweet threw himself and ushered in the fall of the Golden Age, took heavy damage from an extremely destructive villain making her debut. Calling herself 'Krakatoa', the girl cheerfully urged patrons out of the building before setting it ablaze with some sort of incredibly destructive heat-based technique. The attack is estimated to have cost millions in damages and some inspectors are concerned the building may have to be condemned, though strangely enough, nothing was stolen. Krakatoa herself escaped unhindered after melting a crater in the street to prevent pursuit.

ENCOM HQ was broken into last week by what confused and disturbed bystanders are calling a 'digital pirate.' The so-called pirate sailed an enormous flying ship shaped like a skyscraper down Palos Verdes Drive into downtown LA, thus bypassing traffic, before staging a break-in by animatronic pirates. The 'shipscraper' or 'pirate building' was destroyed in the attack, but the Laser Pirate in charge escaped on some form of hover-dinghy. ENCOM is remaining tight-lipped about what, if anything, was stolen. Sadly, you may never know what-

Called the 'SHV 20905', he promises that you will find its like nowhere else, and a copy of the plans can be yours for the low low price of ten million dollars wired straight to a Swiss bank account! This is peanuts compared to what your company makes in a year, so… do you want to take him up on his offer? (A vote will be included in a later interlude.)

ENCOM has rolled out a mandatory update for all systems to address the concerns that most consumers have with the platform. Following the break-in at their Headquarters, they seem to have decided to take security incredibly seriously. Their update, against all logic and reason, not only failed to brick the systems but actually delivered on what they were promising! ENCOM Legacy's updated digital security is actually pretty impressive, as much as you hate to admit it. Not even DoofOS is as resistant to viruses and trojans as Legacy now appears to be.

Going to be honest, one more turn of this, and I feel like Doof will be defeated by Encom in this sphere. Not that they don't deserve their victory; they seem to have earned it. It's just a sudden state of affairs, but this should be a lesson. Next time, we manage the number of people we fight against.
