Lets throw the government a bone, I don't really care for Talia(bitch be crazy and not in the fun way)
 
can we program it then with all the possible ways we can think of that it can fail and do things wrong to give it a boost?
Yes but it is guaranteed to burn another turn at least and even then might not work on more complicated tasks.

Well I asked since you introduced us to Bones and then the picture of this version of Diana, then it's not far to think of Smallville Hades.
And by classical Greek depiction (and since this is a comic universe) something like GOW Hades' form?
Oh no it was definitely a reasonable assumption (I will almost never draw on Smallville for anything other than looks for future reference) and I understand that I should have cleared that up before posting the picture.

By classical Greek Hades I mean this guy

I like classical greek gods and feel that they can be depicted in interesting way with only minor twists for a comic book setting.

so wild idea in case handing Nyssa over does not automatically end the war and we need to attend a peace talk with the league next turn, I say the we use the unstoppable combo of Lex, Mercy, Roxane and Rebecca. if its diplomacy roll that added all together rounded up we would have a +63 to success. and in case things back bad a +68 marital score between everyone. I know that this sinks a lot of our hero units in one action but we really want this war to end. Thoughts?
 
I can't believe we failed to bribe the politician, and on a DC 5 as well. Time to pull out the blackmail materials and release them as the first big new of our new press platform

It really depends on other actions that will get voted but focusing effort like this can be a good idea.
I prefer Pamela in place of Rebecca. Not only she has higher diplo and coop scrore, but she also has some things in common with Leaugue of Shadows. And I don't think that we need that much martial power.

Besides, I want to play along with DEO for some time and keep Rebecca doing jobs at LexCorp

While this is only a short term solution, peace with the League right now is preferable to me.
 
@King crimson
How the following action works?

[ ] Hire Lady Vic for a job
DC 8 Lady Vic is a talented assassin with very few morals and a strong desire for money. You could easily get her to do a few jobs for you and the benefits having an assassin doing your dirty work for you are rather obvious.

Do we get a subvote for what job it will be or just mention it in the vote as a write-in part?

I am already doing some plans for the next turn and strongly consideing hiring her for either dealing with the Woodrue issue or give a hard lesson to that mayor.

Frankly, I dont want to do anything beneficial to Ra's. He tried to assasinate us. And giving him Nyssa would feel like we are running scared of the League, when we have them dying left and right.

Best to give Nyssa to the organization with the Lasso of Truth. Should bring us goodwill, and hopefully trouble the League more.

There will be a subvote in which you can write in options if I don't have ones you already want.

People keep worrying about the DEO yet don't choose the option that curries favor with the government. Being cooperative is worth a lot more than a few bribes.

Also, fuck the league of shadows.

What's this? A way to send US government on a chase and create chaos all over the world? Why yes do that for Lex Luthor.
 
So King crimson I got I question I am looking at the results for carol constructing the plane factory and noticed that while the DC was lowered due to trait it does not look like her stewardship was added to the actual Dice roll was that a mistake or I am missing something?

I made a mistake the total was 25 but because I'm tired I didn't write it right. I'll fix it soon.

Let's build up those ties. Screw Ra's, he's entirely untrustworthy, and so is Talia. Honestly, Nyssa's more reliable then either, but that's not saying much. Better to wash our hands of them entirely.
 
Nyssa spent some time learning about Luthor and his operations. She will tell everything she knows to Uncle Sam given an opportunity. I am not a fan of giving this kind of information to them.

Can we hire Lady Vic to kill Ra's and Talia when they come to get Nyssa? We'll help of course.

Other than doing AI research and killing our father, what other operations could she know about that is illegal? We have the Pheromone spray but we haven't used it and only Lex, Pamela, and maybe Mercy knew it existed. We have a hidden ICBM, but Mercy and our security caught their assasins before they could infiltrate that deep into Lexcorp. Overall we have nothing to worry Uncle Sam about that Nyssa could have known because we lucked out on Security and Nyssa doesn't have agents that could have found the ICBM.

According to the QM, Talia saved our bacon and prevented betrayals. She may be of questionable trustworthiness, but she has done tight by us and we may have impressed her.

I don't see the need to burn that bridge yet and starting a new feud with the League without Talia's help by betraying her first. Let's end it and help her by turning over Nyssa her to Ra's Al Ghul.
