Oglethorpe's dream: A Colony of Georgia quest

Bonuses for sidestories and crit successes would be good.

Whenever we succeed in anything, we should get a bonus for using that thing to help with something in the future.
 
Maybe if we redo the same action multiple times, it should get easier? Having the same chance for any action succeeding doesn't really make sense anyway.

    • D.P.H burns down pubs:
    The D.P.H ignore the government pubs and get drunk in their offices as usual. When it comes time to light the nightly bonfire they assume the pubs are their for the bonfire and set them on fire. It was at this point that the other departments and ministries join the Department of Health in getting blackout drunk and dancing around the burning pub.
    (The traumatized pub employees were huddled in a corner)

    People's pub fire burns down Prime Minister's house:
    The fire started by the D.P.H at the public pubs spreads to the Prime Minister's house. Prime Minister Williams and his family just barely escaped the house before the residence collapsed under the weight of the fire.

    People ignore public drinking campaign:
    The people of Georgia ignores the government's public relations campaign.

    Davenport libraries opened up:
    The libraries built to look like the Davenport House have been built across Georgia. This has led to an interesting situation with the original Davenport House though.

    Jobs:
    The paperwork needed to implement the jobs program was lost to the pub fire.

    • The DPH is the most insidious organisation to plague Georgia since that damned Sons of Liberty terrorist group.

    And the sad part is, it's a legal entity and people still keep on accepting their shenanigans!
     
    June to November, 1783 planing

    • The second Williams government convenes to plan the next six months and are presented with an intriguing opportunity in Savannah.

    Davenport Museum:
    In Savannah the burnt out ruin of the Davenport house has been sitting there for years. But recently a group of citizens purchased the property with one goal in mind, turn the house into a historical museum. The group of citizens want to recreate the Davenport House as it was before it burned down and open it as a museum. To open this historical museum the citizens have asked the General Assembly's help. It would not be to hard to help the people out as most of the Representatives served in the Davenport House and remember what it looks like. But does the General Assembly even want this project to succeed?

    Imagine if we roll a crit fail on firing the DPH @_@

    Drunk witchcraft and the D.P.H

    • DPH headquarters, 1783

    The fire casts flickering shadows that dance on the walls. Around the flames, robed figures cavort and cackle. They wear the faces of devils, grinning and horned. In the cauldron, hot and bitter smoke rises from the bubbles of their wyrd brew. The leader, a gaunt man in robes wearing a shining silver ankh around his neck and sporting a headdress of raven feathers, raises his arms:
    "Hail, brothers of the Dionysian Pantheists of Hecate! We gather today under the light of the full moon of Wisdom, to drink of the font of power, and transpose our minds into the heavenly realm. Tho the fool Williams names us deviants and outlaws, he cannot bar the gates of the Supernal! As Lord High Magus, I bid thee, drink! Sup on the ambrosia of Thoth, and -
    "Oy! What are you lot doing here? We told you to clear out last week!"
    "We are discovered! Hurry my brothers, we must alight! And someone grab the booze!"

    The warlocks scatter in all directions. One, a short, fat man with an owls beak strapped over his nose reaches for the cauldron, but jumps as he burns his hand and sends the iron pot tumbling. The steaming dark liquid, black as sin, spills over the fire. Steam billows out from the drowned pyre, like the last puff of brimstone as the door to hell closes. The militia officer stoops down to the fallen vessel, and tastes the witches brew.
    "Oooh, blueberry wine. Nice."
    "Shouldn't we chase them, captain?"
    "No need, private. These reprobates will give up soon now that the governor has banned them from buying liquor. Besides, I think that satyr is my dentist. I'll have a word with him; the man just needs an outlet, I think."

    And so, Maryburg can sleep easy tonight. But what what other horrors lurk in the dark Georgian night?

    Plan on the suit wins also for the Davenport House I'm going to add a +20 since most members of the General Assembly were Congress/Assemblymen when the Davenport House was in service. Also @Cogliermo do you want to apply your +10 bonus to something?

    Georgia has been in the black ever since Britain paid off Georgia's debts right before the revolutionary war. As for wealth Georgia has on average less money running through it than the other southern colonies due to not having large plantations. However Georgia's citizens are better off due to not having to compete with unpaid slaves.

    Apply it to firing the DPH. Those bastards burned my sanitation proposal 3 times.
    Also, just out of curiosity, what is Georgia's population? The government must know if they are holding elections.

    Georgia's population is between 7,000 and 7,500. The population was around 6,500 just after the end of the war but you voted to advertise Georgia as a spot for British loyalists expelled from the U.S so we got new people.

    • Davenport Complex opens up:
    The Davenport Complex has opened after much anticipation. The Complex is a sprawling affair taking up one whole street. In the center the historical museum is open displayed as it was the day before it burned down. To the right of the Davenport museum are the public gardens where any type of flower that can possibly grow in Georgia is on display including the Cherokee Rose which was introduced to the British colonies just three years ago in 1780. The most remarked part of the complex however is to the left of the Davenport museum as the university opened their is the first university in Georgia.

    D.P.H plans recovered:
    The purge at the D.P.H goes off without a hitch but while janitors were getting the deserted building ready for the new hires they found detailed notes of all the Department of Health's plans and actions from its creation to present. This includes the sanitation plans and the whole story of the gonorrhea scandal including who manufactured the pills and who marketed them to the D.P.H. This has set off a fire storm of debate in the General Assembly with the Secretary of Health Patrick Collins calling for the prosecution of the men behind the gonorrhea disaster.

    New D.P.H employees hired:
    The new D.P.H employees are hired and the best thing about them is that they all despise the taste of alcohol.

    Pubs on Government Avenue:
    Pubs have been set up on government avenue and are doing their job splendidly workplace intoxication is down and reports of random bonfires are also down.

    Plans put on hold:
    All plans for government owned pubs are put on hold as the Internal Ministry grinds to a halt amid the revelations coming out of the D.P.H.
