Welcome to my Candy Store! (Willy Wonka Management Quest.)

Reader mode
Voting ends in 2 Hours.

I may or may not be able to get an update out today, I have relatives coming over, and also have to do shopping today, so it's going to be relatively busy.
 
Alright, Voting has officially ended! Here's the winner!

[X] Plan: still trying to get an employe to produce candy for us
-[X] Nerds: Small purple candies that make you more intelligent the more you eat them!
-[X] Work on making more Wonka Bars, Laffy Taffy, and Ice Mice for people to eat.
-[x] Hire yet another Employee to help man the store.
 
Well im going to sleep, so hopefully ill actually be able to vote for employees when i wake up this time. :p (all i care about is hiring someone who can produce candy for us that wont sell us out, ill be happy with a character rolled in the 50's range if they're focused on production)

    Fred had shown you his new candy, Nerds. It was a box of small purple candies that was supposed to make you more intelligent the more you ate them, it was certainly an interesting idea.

    Nerds Research Roll: 82.

    And the Nerds had come out pretty well, after trying a couple, you certainly had a slight increase in your intelligence, and reasoning skills... and they tasted quite good as well. You could see this becoming a decent product for Wonka's Candies.

    After that, you had gotten to making more candy, stocking up the shelves, adding in the Nerds as well. You hope they do well the next time you open the store.

    Wonka Bars, Laffy Taffy, Ice Mice, Toothie Fruities, and Nerds have been restocked. (400/400. For more Storage, upgrade the building)

    Afterward, you decided to get to hiring a new, and for now... final employee. You simply didn't have the room for any more.

    You'd gotten two prospective employees to come in, not as many as you would've liked, but... you were fine with it.

    28: The first person, was a balding middle-aged man named Donald Lewis, he seemed like a decent enough person... but there were rumors of him selling company secrets to Nestle and other such corporations.

    52: And the second person was a fairly average-looking, red-haired woman named Kelly Jones. She seemed to be at least, somewhat interested in making candy. And was apparently used to doing monotonous tasks, for a decent paycheck, so that was good.

    Now, you had to choose who of the two potential employees, you would hire.

    Either Donald or Kelly, or... you could just not hire either of them, and try again at a later time.

    Who do you hire to work at Wonka's Candies?
    [] Hire one.
    -[] Hire Donald Lewis.
    -[] Hire Kelly Jones.
    [] Don't pick any of them.

    Alright, with this done... I have to go do stuff IRL, I just learned that I actually have a lot more than I originally thought I had to do today, so this vote's probably gonna last the entire day.

    • You know, I'm feelin' like hiring none of them. I will admit Kelly's a step above Michael, but...she just doesn't have that Wonka Spark I'm looking for.
    Even if she was hired, she's not a particularly great individual. Quality over quantity is our motto, is it not? I get how more production and candy-making would be fun...but I just don't feel she's 'one of the ones' for us.

    [X] Don't pick any of them

    Oh, and in this case, don't forget we have limited employee slots.
    If we hire Kelley right now, we won't be able to hire anymore until we either
    A. Buy another store
    B. Build a second floor.

    To be honest, part of the reason I want to hire her because a normal person might be something this candy shop needs. After all, all Mad Scientists need the humble Igor to make sure all the lightning rods are in place.
    Incidentally, @Yite, do the Starmix candies make people that eat them glow? Or do we have to make them to find out?

    Hey! Are you implying Igot isn't special?! How rude.
    And anyway, comparing a shunted away worker for a priest(?) worker for a priest to a business associate in a cutthroat market is pretty different. In business, you always need to have the edge, to expand, to be creative and not stagnate. Not to mention that we already have a Plain Jane by the name of Ruby Williams. Just check her out!

    Don't fall for it, Lord Edric. My liege speaks highly of your wisdom, and I would not have him questioning it. I beseech you to see the greater truth behind Wonka and instead vote for none. There will be another, better one to produce candy for us, so don't fall for her wiles and whispered ways of 'cheap production'!

    No, they don't make people glow.

    Well, if they're eaten, they might make your teeth/tongue glow, but that's about it.

    Could I ask why you two voted to hire Kelley? If we do that, not only do we get a less-than-optimal employee, btu we won't be able to get any new ones unless we open up another branch or spend Wealth to make more floors and expand land.

    Honestly though, we have a good spread of employees with her, we can go on ingredients expeditions without worry
     
    we are wasting so many of our action points on making candy its a bit of a joke as effectively we only truly have 1 action point per turn which at this point anoyes me to no end. so yea l dont care about quality of the employee just the fact that it gives us more options is my aim for hiring Kelly Jones
