... Uh, is the +10 to a stat on crit fail from I am MOST dissatisfied supposed to be permanent? Because you don't state it as being for one turn, and that feels wrong

[X] Plan: The Responsible Things(And A Giant Robot)
Getting heroes early is a good idea, and restructuring our company before meeting with other megacorps should help prevent any foul play, especially given who tends to run those megacorps.
Edit: The robot's more likely to give us an interesting hero unit, which is what we need right now. Also prevents us from going into cold shoulder mode, in case we need that martial. Still would prefer Hank to call his family, but the barbecue should help our chances with hero units.
Edit2: On second though, I don't want to be the person known for focusing on beating up kids over taking care of the monsters currently destroying the city. It tells them that they are actually important, as opposed to a nuisance to be cleaned up when most convenient. Still unseasy about meeting the megacorps though.

I will say, I will almost certainly not make this canon. This is a critical part of the narrative, and to fix it in one particular place would not work for me. Not to mention how much it would change Father as a person.
Plus, remember, Grandfather was a terribly abusive parent.
My apologies, I'll update it in a moment. But you would assume correct, in that the buff only lasts the subsequent turn after the failure.

Oh dear, we have Toilenator. Admittedly not my favorite character. I never liked toilet jokes, even as a kid. But beggars can't be choosers right now.

Giant robot is meant to attract new hero units, while ice cream increases Income. Right now, we need bodies to throw at actions, so it's probably better.
You know guys I wonder how is the FIRST villain reacting to the world going to shit and i mean The First
The post has been updated. The changes should be minor, but I just want to update everyone in case it changes your opinions.

To clarify, the changes are mostly to formatting. Like moving the DCs on the actions beneath the action names.
The only action that changed flavor text is "Catch up on the News". The rest are identical.

Omake: Pondering the Past
Father chewed idly on his pipe as he stared off into the distance. Lost in his thoughts at the moment. He was currently seated in a plush recliner chair in his newly renovated home. A fireplace before him crackling quietly. The walls decorated in a tasteful blue wallpaper with white columns braced in the corners. Several of his knight like robots standing to the sides. A side table baring a black phone for work on his left.
He was pondering what led him to this moment. Grandfather was dead. He had killed the old man. Vaporized the old bastard with his own power. Nothing but ashes that he himself had scattered back in England.
Part of him still couldn't believe that he had done it. He had finally managed to destroy that old man. If not exactly in the way that he had long dreamed of doing so. Father had been the one to bring him back in the first place. Maybe finally get the old man to respect him. Fitting in a way that it was him who destroyed Grandfather once and for all.
Did he regret doing it? No, he did not regret it in the slightest. He never would regret it no matter what some goody two shoes might say. Father hated that old wretch more than words could describe. He always had deep down. A deep seated resentment that was planted during childhood and had festered within him ever since. All those long hours trapped in those wretched factories. The endless suffocating stench of tapioca in the air. The aches and pains of all that hard work. All of that had never truly gone away merely been buried under years of anger and work.
Part of him still was amazed that he had actually pulled it off. Father was all too aware of the balance of power between the two of them. He knew full well that his own powers had come from Grandfather. You could even say that his abilities were a lesser derivative of his fathers. Much as it galled him to admit it Grandfather was more powerful than he would ever be. That wasn't even getting into the old wretches more exotic abilities.
At least he had believed that to be the case. Yet he was the one still standing after their clash. How had that happened? He could only assume that he had managed to somehow dig deeper into his powers than ever before. All he could really remember was the seething hot rage than poured through him. The crazed rush of energy that thrummed inside. The wicked joy as he brought forth destruction.
How had he brought it on then? Could it be that he had simply been so angry that he overcame some barrier within? Father knew that deep inside some part of him still wanted the old man's approval. Some part that was still afraid of him after all those years. He supposed what had happened had been the last straw.
He had brought the old codger back. Yet it was still Monty who was the favorite. Even when it was Monty who overthrew Grandfather to begin with. That blast that sent him flying had made something within him snap. That mental block finally coming undone. Allowing the hate to flow forth and letting his fire burn hotter than ever. Finally destroying the shadow that had loomed over him for so long.
The only question was what now?

I enjoy those big numbers I see in martial, and with the bonus we get to diplo after a successful martial action against someone, I think we should go gallivanting about more than a typical CEO.
As a separate thing I also want to see Father get as angry as possible, those negatives to our stats is painful, but you know what'll hurt even worse? Our enemies after getting smacked in the face with almost 70 Martial, what the fuck.

Dark thought: Father might still want to "reconcile" with Sector Z…by re-Delightfulizing them, if he can rebuild the machine.

I doubt that the voters are going to take him in that direction, so unless we have that railroaded into his motivations or he rolls garbage on a personal that's meant to help with his issues I think that's unlikely to happen
I wonder what villain wining in Hank place made him join us because there really isn't any villains but it kinda seems that hanks old job kinda went bankrupt
Yeah, it's a funny question. Did Cotton "win" somehow? Did Nancy elope with John Redcorn or something? Obviously Strickland Propane fell, but to who?

Can't wait for the inevitable "Our PC is *too* mentally stable, this man is too happy for our purposes. We need him grossly incandescent."
I think we should invest in a summer home, for you know, when Father expects bad news or for things going bad. Fire proof, solid rock, don't fill it with expensive or delicate items, organic staff to a minimum (unless they're that expendable).
We spent a lot on our nice base, let's not break it.
