No, League isn't likely to wipe them out. We will be lucky if they'll halt them for a long enough period that us doing nothing defensive this turn won't cause huge trouble

Also, "wasting" is an unwise term to use. We need to develop our forces Intergang or not. Something we neglected for far too long. Oh, and we aren't really ready to destroy Intergang in one decisive action.

And thanks god we had no Crush all criminals. We are not very ready to do this.

I disagree. The police is really unimportant to us. And Crush all Criminals I think would easily work with Mercy and Katherine on it.
'Crush all criminals' will receive counter-rolls and doesn't prevent new criminal from moving in unless we train up the forces on our side. Or do you think no one would try to fill Intergang's place?

But no one is all that strong to us. And Crush all Criminals will be the most likely to stop them now.
 
Jinx was born Friday the 13th on most likely one of these years, depending on her age and the current year.

1935, 1940, 1946, 1957, 1963, 1968, 1974, 1986, 1991, or 1996.
 
[X] Plan Green Magic Woman and A Pink One Too.
Theoretically Jinx could get a trait that would let you potentially mess with dice in a very beneficial way for the action she is assigned to.
...sooooo, some people still don't want Jinx now?


We should start teaching Cassandra how to properly comunicate though.

Edit:...screw it, we are the Bald Man Daddy. ADOPTION TIME!

Hey QM, if we recruit Jinx and make her train and control her powers...can we make her affect our rolls in a positive way?

Edit 2: Oh well.

Why did we start the war with Intergang exactly? Especially after just coming out of a different war.

We coulss have grown in tech, resources and allies first.

For example: expanding our different divisons (phone, banking, construction) so that it doesn't just rely on Lex, and building bases for bonus actions and benefits.

That's an example of overestimating Lex. Voters thought: 'Common criminals? Meh, we're Luthor, we can take them.'. And took that action when Lex's combat forces were still in diapers.

They accidented a war with Intergang. Does not help they keep ignoring them.

Note that that one went decently because we also had fortify Metropolis. If it had only crush criminals that would end....very unplesantly

It was my plan for consolidating power in Metropolis. It partly worked but failed to achieve that much because synergistic recruit skilled criminals wasn't voted and we failed to get control over the major because of bad luck and thread chickening out to use Pheromone to make him truly ours
 
What are you talking about? Double presents my dude.

Came in around the push crime out vote so it was too late. It's fine I feel though. They'll learn it's too much to mess with us.
except that we are doing nothing against them ourselves and instead using our 1 favor from the league to do that for us becouse of it. next time before anyone votes we need to discuss what we want to get done so this shit doesn't happen and we can reach at least a bit of a compremise
and by this i mean talking and descussing with each other becouse what happened this turn is that everyone said their ideas noone tried talking to each other so each idea was put up and this happened

Won't help. We spent like week discussing that we need to put effort on the Intergang situation and then random supercomputer and servers vote with a recruitment spree.


For the next turn I want

- 5+ martial related actions
- Lex-Cassandra time learning something. Not learning her to speak, far too hard to start with this
- Build new LexCorp building somewhere
- Give fitting jobs for Carol, Mari, Karl (planes, fashion, medicine) before they become unhappy doing different things
- Don't do A.M.A.Z.O
- Do some PR project
- Do botany to see what scientist Poison Ivy can achieve

Are you kidding? Didn't you read when Intergang tried to bribe them, but they failed because Lex had control? And Intergang aside, do you really thing having the police against Lex is nothing? How untouchable do you think he is?

The police couldn't touch Lex if he reached out a hand. But that's not the issue. The issue, is that boosting them doesn't help us.

Won't help. We spent like week discussing that we need to put effort on the Intergang situation and then random supercomputer and servers vote with a recruitment spree.


For the next turn I want

- 5+ martial related actions
- Lex-Cassandra time learning something. Not learning her to speak, far too hard to start with this
- Build new LexCorp building somewhere
- Give fitting jobs for Carol, Mari, Karl (planes, fashion, medicine) before they become unhappy doing different things
- Don't do A.M.A.Z.O
- Do some PR project
- Do botany to see what scientist Poison Ivy can achieve

Nah. Amazo must be done. And if Lex is teaching and being wasted, then we better be teaching speaking.

the biggest problem is that most people who vote don't duscuss at all they come in, vote then leave without saying a word. and other people only discuss after voting and when they talk they won't change their vote anyway. i like this system but it's annoying when trying to convice people does absolutely nothing becouse they don't listen

i also agree on the next turn one depending on everything that happens this turn. new options and whatever results we get change so much that it's hard to get a good plan before the new action fase that people don't immidiately ignore
