My bad I did not see that the dc had been lowered

Bro.... you're right we should have two heroes assigned to this. After all, the last League Malus roll was like -100.

So this was hands down the most contentious vote in the thread so far (so many ties) but somehow it ended relatively simply. I'd like to remind people that the bigger the disparity between the roll and the DC the greater the success. Here are the winning options
Martial
[ ] Hire more LexCorp security forces
DC 15
Diplomacy
[ ] Donate to the public
DC 15
[ ] Work with the government
DC 2
Stewardship
[ ] Design and produce self-flying planes
DC 46
Intrigue
[ ] Investigate Sasha Glynul
DC 30
[ ] Investigate Elaine Marsh-Morton
DC 18
Learning
[ ] Improve weapons
DC 3
[ ] Research Botany
DC 60 (DC 20 is Pamela is assigned to the action)
[ ] The A.M.A.Z.O. project
DC 120 (DC 70 if Ivo is assigned to the action)
Additionally you can assign Talia to any Martial or Intrigue action although you cannot guarantee that she will follow through on any of these actions and you can't see her stats just yet. There are no actions in which the pheromone spray could be used. Please vote in plan format and remember that there is a 1 hour moratorium on voting.

Why not to intrigue action?

We need all hands on the Investigation of Sasha, because if she really is the ??? who framed us, then I heavily suspect that this action is going to have a contested roll (aka what the Shadow League did to our efforts to fortify Metropolis last turn). Also, it is a great opportunity for us to raise Carstair's cooperation score with Luthor to 1, giving us another action.
I'm suprised that Talia can't be assigned on the investigation actions as well... given that she too wants to find the truth of the matter here.

-[] Design and produce self-flying planes
--[] Luthor/Rebecca/Carol
Because getting Magitek Planes means enlightening all of LexCorp to the possibility of combining Magic with other Technological pursuits. Plus, this way we get Cooperation 1.0 with both of them.

I made a mistake. It was supposed to be any martial or intrigue action . I've corrected the statement in the post.

Not too sure magic planes can be mass-produced.

Anything can be done so long as you know how to. Besides, I'm more interested in having the possibilities of Magitek made apparent to everyone involved with LexCorp. Magitek Planes is mainly just because we'll get two more action points this way.

I feel like the lex mercy talia combo is overkill I say put mercy on hire troops and leave the investigation to talia and lex

I suspect that we're going to have interference on the investigation of Sasha, so I do not want to risk it and have a situation like last turn happen (remember what happened to our efforts with fortifying Metropolis).

I feel like we should definitely put someone on hire more LexCorp security forces. I think there is a good chance that the LoA might attack us there.

It is less "exploit mechanics and number crunching" and more of "logic and fun story" plan.
1) Luthor, his aide, and a hidden ally go hunting the ??? (Rebecca doesn't really fit this hunt. If anything I don't want her to know about Talia's involvement. And Talia fits not even because of potentially high intrigue score but because she knows a lot about LoS)
2) Pamela and Rebecca are learning to work together, Luthor is showing Pamela that he finds her work important enough to assign an assistant, we are learning magic in a safe way, making future magic-related researches easier.
3) Ivo does his stuff
4) Katherine hires people to command, she can use her ties in the military for better recruiting
5) Roxanne does exciting stuff and gives fresh ideas to our weapons department.
6) Carol receives access to revolutionary LexCorp tech and should be eager to try to implement it
A risky alternative

Same as above except Roxanne will be Ivo's lab rat. Unethical, risky, but surely fun. After all, it is a way to make Rebecca into a metahuman

Okay, so Ivo and Pamela are assigned to their duties, but I'm on the fence of if to put 2 or 3 hero units to the investigation, because Mercy has a lot of skills that could help us with, in case the other investigation gets botched, but we can't be certain that disasters will happen to us, since the DC is so low on many of these actions, but we can't be certain.

Unless Luthor is assigned to a task the leader will always be designated as the one with the highest stat in that field. Talia al Ghul cannot be the leader as you do not have her as one of your hero units (she can provide help but even if her stat is higher she wouldn't be the leader)

Hopefully, the gov is more willing to spend more money whatever drones we develop on they are also in the shadow war. At least we can write off a lot of taxes thanks to how much we pump into RnD.
I feel spoiled all of a sudden with how many heroes we have available.

We want at least three people on the investigation (and that number should include Talia as well). This quote right here is the reason why I want at least 3 people on the Sasha investigation.
It is very probable that the investigation will be a contested roll (aka we roll and then from our roll is substracted what Sasha rolled for cover-up, provided that she is the ???), hence why we need to stack the deck in our favour as much as possible here.

BTW, Are you fine with same player voting for more than one plan?

Not really since I want to cut down on bloat for this vote (hence why I keep it in plan format rather than leaving it open and free). Multiple plan votes somewhat counters the whole reason why I am doing this in plan format. Pick your one favorite plan. You can switch your plan if another one you like is getting traction but only one plan vote will be counted at a time per each individual.

This way we may get 1.0 coop score. Also, this is plain going for numbers instead of actual logic. We can't afford to ignore the hunt for ??? Mercy+Talia IS NOT ENOUGH because - to roll is a very likely possibility. Plus, I think plant+magic is a way more viable first magic tech project than ai-controlled plane+magic
Roxanne has a good intrigue score(13). I don't think it is the best use for her, but if enough people want to send her investigating there I am willing to compromise and edit "Investigation, Magical Plants, and Exciting guns" by moving Roxanne from weapons to Morton
