I kind of just want to say "fuck it we ball" and just let everyone join; but failing that I actually think we should put Châtelet, Black Swan, Doctor Silver and Valiant Gold. The second in command, the rising star and the people that had their debut at this very event. RIP Rhys once again though...

He's one of the people who needs it the most though and given he has the highest to climb could get some of the biggest boosts which is pretty relevant when we're doing full group rolls for Rep, let alone giving him more chances to be well rounded.

Edit: Wait forgot that its the entire 40 no matter what, not just of who we brought fully (rather than whose in each interview). Still, Rhys has been feeling overshadowed, let him have a chance to feel like he can shine.

as spy it makes sense atleast. I really hope we can have rhys be Yara body double in hero worship that put him at center stage as bait.

Especially since SB clones are generally too simplistic so it should be effective on them.
 
I'm against not giving Handyman a interview. One of his biggest personal issues is that he never feels seen, and while he's turned that into a strength of his, I think we should give him this opportunity to show the world whatever image he wants them to see.

Cynically though, we should be bringing him specifically because he provides our biggest Esp bonus. If we're bringing 5 people we are going against a 35 Esp check and going without Handyman leaves us at a 31, so we'd be rolling with a -2 before other bonii. We're mechanically encouraged to bring him and Menagerie Witch, alongside to a lesser extent Doctor Silver. We would be better off in every aspect both social and mechanical bringing everyone over leaving Handyman behind.

QM confiremd were rolling with group stat of 40. So its choosing who gets the possible Rep Gain. Also depending on who we choose probably Bonus depending on how viable the cover is.

For Example BS has a solid cover and Chatelet isnt a Prometheus Hero so no cover there. Just making everyone believe in BS cover even more.

VG and DS is all about both of them being Tech Heroes due VS so thats another solid angle for there Cover.

Handyman Low rep actually means he can just grind on it. Since with 2 he need a 4 and so on to get better rep.

Oh Right hmm. BS and Hanyman could work but that would probably result in him being overshadowed.

In that case.

BS & Chatelet
MW and Handyman

Heroes that can use more rep. An Adult and Teen, while also 1 Promethean and 1 Natural meta, meaning we only need to focus on their cover.

VG had her time to shine anyway. So let our 3rd and 4th member have the spotlight for now.

We're using the full teams 40 ESPIONAGE no matter who we bring.

Also, something to consider: if people know we have a shapeshifter, they're going to have to develop measures to account for that. And that's a fucking nightmare to do for long periods of time, rendering them paranoid or tired.

Should we actually introduce Doctor Silver to the general public? With his age, he is the most suspicious artificial hero. Also, his wide range of clairvoyance makes him more effective undercover, as he can detect threats and protect teammates/civilians while staying outside of the enemies' focus.
 
Who's to say that people knowing about Handy couldn't be a good thing? We just trade the surprise factor for them making more paranoid mistakes, afraid that someone could have been replaced by Handy.

Doctor Silver has a good cover story actually. He's just using one of Nora's shield prototypes. The main problem he's going to face is people asking him if using Valiant Silver's tech is safe.
 
People keep saying "Oh we can't do Valiant Gold and Black Swan, Mona will fumble!" When Bitter is giving bonuses based on fun combos (I think, please bap me if I'm wrong)

Also you can't tell me the internet wouldn't eat up Black Swan Ms. Popular Face of Justice Unlimited having an omega crush on Valiant Gold.
That right there is the best kind of Rep gain!

Thats true.

Hmm BS and VG then Chatelet and Hanyman.

Chatelet with Handyman would be interesting since they can talk about the Faustian also theyre both adults, one with High Espionage the other with High rep. So keeping the cover while also charming the people.

What we lose in professionalism, we'll probably more than make up for in regards to humanizing everyone. Putting Mona's "flaws" on display ought to make her look much more like a normal person with normal person issues.
 
Dear god the fact that we are doing PR and somehow making it belevable is astonishing... At this rate its either 4 or all and this makes very anxious and yet curious to what we are entering to.
 
Also speaking of Special bonuses if we take that into account we can try to risk having everyone take the interview.

BS+VG: Comedy hour bonus by showing and distracting everyone with Mona fails with her crush
MW+HM: Big bro and little sis dynamic while also both being great at espionage to keep handyman cover intact while making our enemies paranoid about shapeshifters.
Chatelet+DS: Adults who have high rep and known to the public. Like with Hanyman DS cover is the only one needed to pass so while chatelet doesnt need a cover. DS cover is also solid due to simply using Noras old invtion he finished..

So do we want to take the risk or stikc with 2 pairs to make sure we can pass?

Scandals are amazing way to distract people yeh. People going all in on the comedy and shipping that they dont think too much about the cover both have.

This seems like a lot of fun. I'm a fan.

I guess we'll see how the vote goes, though!
 
I'm currently leaning Black Swan, Valiant Gold, Chatelet, Handyman, and Menagerie Witch as locked in. Handyman and Menagerie Witch need it, Chatelet is the new 2IC who is coming off that speech and has the out versus Ete for anti Crusade elements, Black Swan's rep count is the main reason Chihiro is willing to potentially just join up now and she's a Rep beatstick for making the most of everything here, and Valiant Gold needs to make a proper debut while having been front and center.

Its mostly a question of if we want to eat the 5% fail chance on adding Dr. Silver so he can make a debut.

Right here? No. But i think Bitterman may have a personal one. I think its up to the owners to remember how many they have.

NvM. Lol.
I have 9 in the bank just in case. And I do plan on making an omake in a couple of days to make an even 10. I think Kermie has like 7-8 (i think) from what i can tell from Bitterman refunding the points we used. No idea about anyone else.

Oh right that works too hmm.

BS and VG: Comedy HOurs
MW and HM: Espionage spec and sibling dynamic
Chatelet: No need for a cover and Crit on speech means some bonus for interview

People might find it strange DS isnt going for an Interview but we can probably just say he needed to check on his Shield Genrator after his first real fight with it.

This gives us a check of 35 meaning as long as we dont roll a 1 without out any other bonus we can pass.
