[x] Plan Get Shit Done v2

ChronOblivion said:
I'm not really understanding why everyone is Expanding rather than Repurposing. It saves us 20k in the short term, won't result in a net loss for forty years, and can/will eventually be returned to the civvies ending the loss in yearly income. We're trying hard not to die in the next decade or two, this is the sort of procrastination that is very well justified.

Because fixing the problem outright is better then delaying it down the line where it'll get worse.

While we see a shorter economic impact now, if we discover someone worth talking to and trading with, we'll miss that repurposed construction equipment when its time to start making trades and deals.

I am well aware this is borderline impossible to win. That said, I refuse to not advocate positioning for military gains. We have an opportunity to gain the advantage in an area, doing so would free up our attention drastically.

As a general mechanics question for this quest, do we have to take an action in each category every turn? This is partially asking what happens if we can't afford actions in all categories and partially asking if we can forgo an action in one category so we can afford to take the desired options in the other categories (and a small part asking if we can ever forgo the action to save money, either because we just want to save or because we don't want to risk burning credits on actions with low chances of success).

If you can't afford things, you start going into the negatives. This is bad in the long term. You cannot have a Ministry shut down for a year even to save money, and if you could, doing so would not give a separate Ministry more time to do things. Good questions, though.
 
That will do.

Plan, "Get Shit Done, v2," takes the win. I need a roll of a d100 each for all of your actions; that's five, for Martial, Diplomacy, Stewardship, Intrigue, and Learning. Who shall volunteer as tribute? ;)
 
I shall praise or curse RNGesus!

EDIT: Meh, it works.
