okay, let's get some contacts in the local underworld established

[x] contact Maestro's local forces and see if we can off load our diamonds for cash. also look into on what goods we could potential buy from them. (accept a 10-15% markdown from their normal buying price in the interest of better business relations)
[x] offer the Hell raisers Flashbang RPGs at half price in exchange for them raiding he city's infrastructure to cause chaos, they just need to tag their attacks by spray painting a raven at the site of the attack.
[x] Look into the catburgler and see if we can hire him to acquire the manifests of the high security warehouses.
[x] look into the costs of hiring the cities criminal element to aid in one of our heists.
[x] have the fabber build dumbots (budget: $15,000)
[x] establish a small base in the caves outside the city. 5 bruiserbots 15 dumbots for labor.
That sounds reasonable to me.

Lost Star, is there some sort of Villain E-Bay we can use to offload stolen goods?
 
If anybody is interested in having more Bruiserbot's it might be a good idea to include this in to your vote. Once we get enough metal together we can build more Bruiserbots.

[x] Build two Large Batteries.
[x] Have the Fabricator build a Bruiserbot (50 Pounds of Metal. 4 Large Batteries. 3 Computer Chip)
[x] Have whatever robots are free bring in material from the Junkyard.

Also, instead of making new robots how about we make new technology that we can apply to everything. Like, personal forcefield generators for us and all our forces, increasing the effectiveness of every robot. Personal invisibility generators would go great with a forcefield generator, making every robot incredibly durable and invisible. This stuff makes everything more effective, us, Minsuh, Brilliance, our robots, and whatever else we make.
 
how about as a long term plot very far in the future we launch 20 missiles above the u.s.a then the missiles detonate 2 of them release emp's the rest release lots and lots of paint:p
 
Would it be possible to make a think tank Robot that could spend time on things like designing more blueprints, hacking databases, and other such tasks? I see it being supercomputer sized, Int 4. So that we can have a wider set of robots.

(It would be far less able to create new types of blueprint than us. But it could spend awhile designing a specialized taser bee robot.)

[x]buy steel, lots and lots and lots of steel. Enough to keep the fabricators running full tilt as we also build fabricators and rechargers at the other secret base locations.
[x]take over the other secret bases as well and assign 20 bots to each

[x]Hatch a villainous plan
---[x]create a riot by randomly firing tennis balls with clumps of diamonds in their cores into the city skyline (spud launchers are easy)
---[x]publically announce that we are doing this, tie it in to the dog rant
---[x]minsuh is going to excacerbate the situation and get a dangerous mob mentality going on "he picked one up and is trying to hide it"
---[x]repoison the gas in the chaos

[X] Use Minsuh and Brilliance to safely secure the museum defences, use bots to steal all the artwork.
[x]Replace everything with photos, poetry and aggrandizements of ourselves, in a variety of poses and such. Rig the speakers to proclaim our greatness. During the broadcast, mention the theftremoval, and the propsect of the art being returned.
[x] Early early morning (preferably on the day of a weekend/public holiday), set-up a grand scavenger hunt, with items hidden around the city. They should each be hidden with the idea of causing maximum chaos and fun (for us, though the concept needs to be exciting for them to join in) as possible in their retrieval. This may mean anything from mildly amusing and inconvenient (there is a single Picasso strapped to the undercarriage of a car somewhere. Find it!), to highly-troublesome locations ("The 1000th customer on the Central train line will be given a large diamond, hurry if you want that to be you!" which results in a rush on the transit system), or else hidden locations that are important only in that they must be found after a fair deal of work, such as with a scavenger hunt/orienteering course/trial-by-Minsuh.
[x] At around 9-10 that morning, have Brilliance hack the airwaves (maybe just the radiowaves, in order to limit the number of people who understand what's going on?), announcing a Grand Treasure Hunt! The results of a number of brilliant heists have been distributed around the city in a number of hidden places, just waiting to be found by any member of the public who wants to look for them. Each item is guaranteed to be worthwhile, and should encourage a fair amount of treasure hunting. Puzzling (riddler-esque and otherwise) will be used to guide people. Tell people that they are free to keep the items for themselves, though if they feel odd about taking gifts from a known super-villain, they're welcome to return them to the city. List off the Mayor's personal phone line as the number they should call to return such items.
[x] Have Minush use this set-up to terrorise treasure hunters, acting as a way to make the game more exciting, as well as gain torment. The most valuable prizes will be the ones with video-gamey challenges guarding them, assuming you follow what I mean by that.
[x] Bonus points if the authorities set up a reward to encourage people to return the valuables, which we take advantage of to return an item or two ourselves. Actually making much money off the reward isn't the point, it's simply the humour of having them pay us to return stuff which we stole.

Regardless of whether people want to vote for the below, can I request that everybody support the idea of holding back at least some small portion of the diamonds? They may come in handy for a lot of things.

Now, I want to try and improve the earlier scheme we had regarding the museum. I think we can probably get a really nice spot of Mania/Torment farming going, and the trick is in making everybody play along into it. It's one thing to have the city resisting our attempts to cause Chaos. It's another to have us make the city cause it's own chaos. That said, I wouldn't truly object to running this idea next week, after another high-profile theft. Diamonds, artwork, then something else high-profile, all makes for some impressive treasure hunting.

[X] Use Minsuh and Brilliance to safely secure the museum defences, use bots to steal all the artwork.
[x]Replace everything with photos, poetry and aggrandizements of ourselves, in a variety of poses and such. Rig the speakers to permanently proclaim our greatness. During the running broadcast, mention the theftremoval, and the prospect of the art being returned.

Ok, I adjusted the base prices of metals to be a bit more equivalent to real world stuff. The big expenses are still going to be the chemicals since Revan uses a special industrial grade stuff for them. This is expensive. (You can use car batteries, but it takes a LOT of them to get the proper amounts and you have to concentrate it)

I'm also tempted to add an energy cost of some sort to balance out a few things, but I'm not going to quite yet since I wanna see how the new prices work for you all.

Of note, I'm also restricting your current metalworking capabilities to just copper, gold, silver, steel, aluminum, titanium, and hardened steel.

Next update is being worked on :)

Because I find mundane methods of disabling people not fun. Now, an incapacitating nanomotile goop that can give people an full-body wedgie... is much more interesting. :D Especially if we can make it able to electrocute hardier targets.
Not fun, BUT cheap and less likely to kill someone.
