The one thing that worries me is that I think he's also going to be increasing the critical failure threshold by +10 from Joking Around, and given the overall likelihood of rolling low enough to fail on the project... that does not enthuse me.
If I recall correctly, only one of the two traits can apply at the same time, otherwise Wiley would have a godly 25% chance of exploding dice, which is better than Goofy's 20% chance.

Correct, joking around only applies when he's working on the project directly - not when he's being a lab assistant.
 
So... Wiley does not add +10 to the critical failure threshold and only lowers the critical success threshold? Gotcha. That makes it better then.
 
@Nystical went back and changed his plan, such that I am seriously considering endorsing it.

Hmmm, I begin to see...

So the idea is, getting a crit by just adding up a huge number would be pretty much unachievable for AI research, but we can lower the threshold for a natural crit by 10, 15, or possibly in Coyote's cases 10+15, and give ourselves a fighting chance?

Yeah, that's the unfortunate dual nature of Toons

Also Wile E.'s two traits don't stack
 
[X] Plan: Growing in Number, Rebalance Risks

[ ] Move Castle Doofhawk to Doofania
DC 200
Your great^65th grunkle Malifishmirtz stated that he couldn't manifest far away from his castle for very long, but if you move the castle to where you already are, that problem should be solved! Picking up an entire castle piece by piece, transferring them across the Atlantic, and reassembling them halfway across the country won't be an easy undertaking, though… perhaps if you knew someone who had done this sort of thing before, the job might be easier.

(Reward: Option to unlock Malifishmirtz as a hero unit becomes available)

Oh, sure, go crawling to Xanatos just because he's done it before. With his deep manly voice and well-developed beard and suave look me. He's not cool he's not special. We can move our own castle.

One last thing I forgot to mention, because of Wiley's Rubberhose trait, crit fails won't harm him as they would other people.

And if Wiley does get powers... how about calling him "Mighty Wile E. Coyote"?

Well as long as only the useful one applies.

Though, uh.

@Nystical I'm serious. I really really think we should not put LOVEMUFFIN on a research project with an unknown and probably high DC like "induce superpowers" when we have a much lower DC project like "design energy weapons" right there.

It's not HIM I'm worried about.

It's everyone else in the Tri-State Area.

Eh. I'm mostly interested in working with Xanatos because he's much less likely to be unrelentingly hostile than our immediate neighbors.

Running clockwise around our territory...

From our 11 o'clock to our 3 o'clock is the Toxic Jungle from Nausicaa, an enormous and spreading hostile ecosystem full of poisonous spores.

From 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock is Shego, who might actually be willing to work with us except that pride demands we seize her capital out from under her in the name of our rule over Tri-State Area Irredentia.

From 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock is Arizona and New Mexico under... I'm actually a little hazy about that. Is that from Fireball or am I just mixed up, because I'm struggling to read the colors on the map:



From 7 o'clock to 11 o'clock is Syndrome's Kronos Corporation.

...

So basically, in addition to our antagonism with Judge Doom, at least three of our four immediate neighbors are unreasoningly hostile, crazy, or 'inevitable' enemies given Doof's own perspective.

His ability to possibly give a few pointers on castle-moving is just a bonus.

Small correction. 11 to 3 is actually the Tempest Domain from Fireball, while 5 to 7 is the New Mewni Economic Zone under the control of Toffee from Star Vs.

??? DC doesn't mean infinity, it just means we don't know - that said, I'm spending 1000 XP to boost the crit by 10, then Wile E. is boosting it by 15. I really think you're overworrying, especially since the learning is boosted by 50 between LOVEMUFFIN and Doof!

So I have a problem with colors. This map is difficult.
I just want to make sure really quick and if you could verify I'd really appreciate it. I know where we are, but that's about it.
To our East is Drakktech, ruled by Shego. We don't like her.
To our West is Kronos, ruled by Bucky (Syndrome). He doesn't like us.
To our South is the Mewni New Economic Zone, ruled by Toffee. Possible spelled T.F.O.E. (The Forces Of Evil). We don't know each other.
To our North is these Fireball people, I don't know anything about them.
That's our neighbors.

Davis Xanatos runs Alaska and north east America.
The Galatic Federation runs Hawaii (and nowhere else?)
The triangle is Bill Cypher.
California is run by the villain from Big Hero 6.
There's a blob in Northern California that is run by Glomgold.
Judge Doom is in the small blob in Southern California.
The blob with Seattle in it is where Zootopia is.
Florida's blob is where the evil hats from Meet The Robinson's are.

I have absolutely no clue where everyone else is. I hate to ask but can a list of territories be included somewhere along with the map?
 
For the folks considering this further, imagine this - when we got Russ, it was off an exploding die. This got us boosted stats, boosted loyalty, the spycycle, and a host of other benefits. And the check? That was for getting a government stooge.

Now the roll is exponentially more likely to explode and the roll is to generate superpowers.

Ah OK.

Have we had, like... any interaction with them? They've been a pretty silent spot.

Yes, but we're relying on LOVEMUFFIN. If the DC for 'generate superpowers' is in the 80-100 range, as seems likely by comparison to most of the other 'research genuinely cool stuff' DC, then the risk of a critical failure is pretty substantial, and LOVEMUFFIN's gonna make it worse.

What happens if we roll a critical failure on a 'give someone superpowers' check? Realistically, either someone dies horribly in a very bad-PR way, or we succeed in giving someone superpowers and they immediately escape and become our nemesis. :(

Just got back from one of the greatest firework shows I've ever seen, it it was actually more like eight firework shows going on all around me one front of me.
I've never seen that around here before.:):lol::D

Anyways Happy 4th of July my fellow Doof Questers.
 
*clears throat* Well here's my first ever attempt at an omake. It started as a short intro to my inator idea but grew a bit more.


Dr. Doofenshmirtz had called every one of his minions to his lab for some reason today. That usually mean one of two things. The first option meant that he had an actually important announcement to make such as telling everyone he would be leaving on a trip like the time he went to Druselstein. This however was rare compared to the second option. Namely that he wanted to show off his latest inator. As everyone gathered in the room they noticed Norm standing off to the side holding a rope and massive ring curtain in the center concealing something so they immediately knew to prepare for something inane. Once everyone had assembled Doofenshmirtz began his spiel.

"Thank you for coming everyone! Now you are probably wondering why I have gathered you here today. As you all know from my myriad of tragic backstories I am an incredibly unlucky person. Now you are probably asking yourself 'why are you pontificating about luck? Its not like you can change it.' and that's where you're wrong! Norm! Curtains!"

"Okay Doctor D!" replied Norm as he began to pull and the curtain slowly rose revealing a green and purple device that sort of looked like a tesla coil if you squinted. Everyone knew it would't be that simple.

"BEHOLD! The Probabilinator! With this device I can BEND THE VERY LAWS OF PROBABILITY! HAHAHA! Though now that I think about it I don't really have a way to aim it it sort of just radiates probability ions, but no matter! With this device I will ensure that fate itself will bend to my whims! And now to activate my creation." With that Doofenshmirtz flipped the switch and the machine began to hum. "It's working! It's working!"

"But Doctor D," Interrupted Norm, "I don't see anything happening!"

"Of course you don't! You can't just SEE probability being manipulated! Here let me demonstrate." At this Doofenshmirtz pulls a quarter out of his lab coat. "I will flip this coin high into the air 20 times and call it every time. Heads!" It landed on heads, "Heads!", it landed on heads again, "Tails!" It landed on tails, "Hea-whoops" Doofenshmitz's finger slipped and flicked the coin weirdly. It traveled in a perfect arc and landed perfectly in a slot on the Probabilinator. One labeled self-destruct. The machine began to audibly whine "Huh. You know maybe the coin operated self destruct mechanism was't the best idea. Curse you comedic timing!"

*Boom!*

A couple hours later after everything had been cleaned up Doofenshmirtz was relaxing in his lab for a bit with Norm. "Well that was a disaster. I wonder how I got so unlucky in the direct path of all those probability ions?"

"Did you forget that they can be negative as well as positive?" Asked Norm.

"Wha.. how would you know? I basically just discovered them recently!"

"You mentioned it while you were building your inator."

Doof paused and then suddenly remembered."Oh so THAT'S what went wrong. I forgot to install the negative probability ion filter! Ah well you win some you loose some. Still I wonder what the sudden influx of a vast number of probability ions is going to do? Ah it'll probably just be give a few people some better and worse luck. What's the worst that could happen!"

Meanwhile at the Fearamid

Bill Cipher was bored. I mean even if you are basically omnipotent there's only so much you can do to entertain yourself when you are trapped in an area the size of a small town with only a couple hundred individuals. That's if you counted most of the losers in this town as individuals. Seriously there were only like a couple dozen that actually mattered! Like the Pines for example.

"Hmmmm......Pines........maybe I should go torture Fordsy some more! That always cheers me up! Now what to try this time?"

It was at this moment that Bill felt a weird wave wash over him and the rest of Gravity Falls. Something new! and Interesting!

"What the heck was that!? Hmm... Let's see.... Oh I know that was probability shifting! ...... Wait WHAT!?" That hadn't come from him which mean that something else had just screwed with probability. Possibly on a continental if not global scale! Oh this is going to be fun!

"Oh things are going to get VERY interesting for the next couple weeks! Bad luck and Good luck warring against each other far more than they usually do! People winning lotteries whislt discovering they have incurable diseases! People getting in car wrecks only to discover that it saved them from death by terror bombing at their work place! Maybe I should just sit back and watch the chaos unfold!"

Afterall, nothing is more entertaining than chaos!

The Probabilinator-For the next turn lower the crit threshold and raise the crit failure threshold of EVERYONE'S National Actions by 20

Also FYI @Made in Heaven approved the inator idea on the discord. People were scared. This was my reaction.
