Just wanted to give you a heads up, I think you might have used the old version of your plan, because your original plan post was updated to swap out Inators with talking to Goofy.

Could you have Tobe instead search Toffee? We need a Hero Unit with Occult Stat to investigate Toffee's magical side and with it we could leave Mirage handling Insuricare as well as leaving Coyote to search through ACME records. Your plan is the most agreeable one to me if I want to go Xanadu.

Its pretty late, so I'll have to sleep and think it over tomorrow.

Fixed.

Dammit, SV swallowed up my massive quote block when trying to reward omake XP. It's 3 AM and I don't feel like going back through tonight, so I'll get on that in the morning. Most of the omakes have earned 500 XP, so you can use that for planning votes.

Expect a more detailed post tomorrow.

I was extremely impressed by the Enigma solvers and would like to offer my congratulations to everyone that participated!

You've earned 1000 XP for developing the decryption tool and debunking a lot of early theories.

The Enigma machine: Encrypt and decrypt online

The Enigma cipher machine is well known for the vital role it played during WWII. Alan Turing and his attempts to crack the Enigma machine code changed history. Nevertheless, many messages could not be decrypted until today.

6-1-8 aligns really nicely with the rotors, which are each a number from 1-8, so I'm pretty confident that's a match there.

You were the first one to get the rotors, so you've earned 500 XP.

Update: CPE as positions and IHR as rings is getting a lot of near hits in a program Googly is running. So if anyone wants to plug in plugboards or something for that, that'd be swell.

You were the first one to identify the CPE/IHR (or rather CIPHER) as the positions and rings, earning yourself 1000 XP!

Congratulations, you figured out the plugboard when nobody else was close! You've earned 2000 XP for this feat.
 
So i've just recently caught upto this quest, I was curious what actions are considered immediate concerns, for example responding to the SRA.

Among the more immediate concerns, we have

- Responding to the SRA
- Looking for Star and Marco
- Investigating Toffee

Things we probably want to do sooner rather than later include

- Dealing with Hawk (since the LA election is coming up in March, and we want dirt on Doom, among other things)
- Rebranding Insuricare
- Food related actions (since we turned down Toffee's deal)

While this is true, certain actions have been called out as important. For example, Mirage thinks it important that we respond to the SRA, and it was mentioned in the vote regarding Janna's status that she will expect us to take action to find Star and Marco soon.

On the SRA, there is some movement to just outright ignore it and treat it as a blowhard topic that Doof despises "Its something Roger would have done! Blegh".

On the Star & Marco search, well that just goes to show that True Madness spouts sense sometimes. Also Star would be a pretty kickass Hero to convince to join her ancestor to the path of (Doof's version) Villainy.

I acknowledge that there is some movement to do that. I am pointing out that Mirage, who is our expert in this area, has mentioned that this is something of a time-sensitive matter.

Agreed that she would be a kickass hero to recruit and turn to the ways of Doofenshmirtz EVIL Incorporated.
 
Well, if I remember right, the window Mirage meant as time-sensitive (the chanxe to be an early advocatr for/against the SRA) has already past. Now any answer to the SRA which isnt ignoring the issue entirely is gonna be seen as a facesaving measure or worse.
 
First thank you both for responding to my question, Second if there is an action with a DC too high to complete successfully, do we need to wait for an action that specifically states it decreases the dc, or can we take an action that seems like it might be related and potentially get a dc decrease?

If we had done that action beforehand, we could have been an early advocate at a lower DC (probably).

I'm not sure that's true. Last turn, it was DC 100 for everyone who went for it. Only this turn is it DC 85 for us, since we have the info on superheroes.

Edit: Sorry, I misread. Yes, if we'd investigated Supers before, we probably would have had a lower DC. Of course, if we'd done it before Doom pushed for the SRA, we'd have no indication that it was really a thing we needed to do.

Then I am right. Now is when we become a "crowd follower" at the least, a lukewarm supporter at its medium point, or late to the party patty at worst.

I still think just ignoring the SRA is best, and just have Doof focus on concrete benefits to capes (like Insuracare) instead of talking points would fit him better.

Sometimes related actions will lead to a DC decrease. As an example from this last turn, [ ] Investigate the cape scene did not specifically state that it would reduce the DC of advocating for or against the SRA, but the DC was reduced due having knowledge of Supers nevertheless.

You are incorrect. The DC was stated as being reduced due to Supers knowledge, not for any other reason, so I would thank you not to interject your rather cynical views into this. Because, honestly, it would be pretty cruel for the GM to have Mirage release a report that advises us to act quickly, with the next available opportunity already being too late.


As an aside, made some minor edits to the Great Xanadu Comparison Chart

If we complete doppelganger AI research this turn... or even if we don't... I think next turn we should:

Continue to make up with Roger
Introspection abut Norm
Technor: Psychoanalyze Doof

Because I think the next general AI upgrade is probably going to be pretty far away, I would rather not have Norm wait even longer after we told him we would think about it. To offset not getting the next advance in 'general AI', I think having Technor psychoanalyze Doof could be a great addition. Perhaps Roger and/or Norm could be invited to the session(s) to have group therapy and work through their issues more productively together with Technor's guidance.

We could also take Norm to the auction with us if we're taking Vanessa. Make an effort to treat both of our "children" well.
