I noticed, and I hardly cared.

don't do these actions until there's an updated sheet.(Why should people who see things that aren't there have trouble washing off(or trying to(TRIPLE BRACKET COMBO!)) in nonexistent rain?).

I noticed the correspondence between anthaju and you(Unescargot) on the psy-net... at least you revealed yourself and sent all your friends away
500 cultists: Research and build anti-cloud weaponry.
400 heavily armed cultists: Attack Unescargot
100 heavily armed cultists: Train then help guard the base when you're done.
300 cultists and all of the hallucinating ones: Go work for the carp, at least stop his whining.
Me and 100 cultists: Ask misatonic university to inspect the book I sent them then ask the 100 specified cultists to get materials.
200 cultists: RECROOO... no, as much as I would like to find out what happens above 3000 I shant risk it (it would be out of character). Get dragons blood instead.

Would you rather I rolled and said it didn't work because there is no rain, regardless of what the roll is? The fact that they're seeing things doesn't make them able to clean themselves off with nothing...

the "carp life" motto gave me an idea
Me: recruit fisherman promise lake and rivers teaming with carp on condition they don't eat me
Any recruited cultists: OBTAIN PUFF-PUFF PLUSH™

Recruit: [2] You try to tempt fishermen into joining you, because they either see through your ruse or don't want carp in their fishing holes. Both are equally terrifying to you.
puff puff plush: [irrelevant] they do nothing because they don't exist

We can move to the next turn once Rosabel posts actions...

200 cultists work on reacquiring dragon blood (NO DRINKING).
Another 200 work on PR.
I'll recruit.

Fun. Fun will happen. ((I was just going to make it an instant death scenario, like half the cultists starve to death or something, but then I got a better idea.))

200 cultists work on reacquiring dragon blood (NO DRINKING).
Another 200 work on PR.
I'll recruit.

Dragon blood: [5] They find so much dragon blood that they figure out the dosage needed to kill a man... or woman, not all cultists are men... (reacquired dragon blood, 50 cultists  become assassins)
PR: [2] They were about to do that, but then the pizza delivery came and they just lounged around for the rest of the turn eating.
Recruit: [6] You get more to join your faction. Some join against you too, but they probably just signed the wrong paper. (+100 cultists, +30 inquisitors)

((I'll have the inventory up by midnight.))

No you have not, it's not like you trained or set them to work, but it's nice knowing that if you do sink that low that it will be comfortable down there.

Me: give morale-boosting speech to my cultists, compliment their loyalty to me.
200 normal cultists: recruit more people to join my cult.
160 normal cultists, 100 trained cultists: guard me from enemies.
8 high places cultists, 10 wealthy cultists: begin a campaign to become the next american president(choose one of the high places cultists for this, another for vice president). Focus on beating Rabe's campaign and damaging their PR in the process.
Journalist minions: Aid in the campaign, damage Rabe's PR in the process! I want humanity to detest Rabe! Detest!
All hallucinating cultists: work it off.
10 other wealthy cultists: fund Rabe's inquisitors, activate them if not already activated!
10 infiltrator cultists: find weak points in Rabe's base!
Puff Puff: devise a powder that causes a human inflicted with it to become hostile to all sentient beings. If successful, apply to Rabe's heavily armed cultists.

Edited!
500 cultists: Research and build anti-cloud weaponry.
400 heavily armed cultists: Attack Unescargot, ask the inquisitors for directions if you can't find him(don't attack his cultists unless they attack you, we want to recrute them.)
100 heavily armed cultists: Train then help guard the base when you're done.
200 cultists and all of the hallucinating ones(exsept for 10 of the non contagious ones): Go work for the carp, at least stop his whining.
10 non contagious hallucinating cultists: speak loudly at puff-puff.
100 cultists: Ask misatonic university to inspect the book I sent them then ask the 100 specified cultists to get materials.
200 cultists: RECROOO... no, as much as I would like to find out what happens above 3000 I shant risk it (it would be out of character). Get dragons blood instead.
the rest and me: recrute Unescargot's cultists away from him.(I won't go there in person, I'm not that stupid)

i remembered a quote "a predictable enemy is second best to a reliable ally" paraphrased from sam starfall of the free fall comic
Me: I've run out of ideas so just RECRUIT RECRUIT RECRUIT
any recruited cultists: say i dunno... koshu is my ally subtly remind humanity he has lots of easily sabotage-able rocket parts say something like "i allied with koshu please don't sabotage his rocket parts (between you and me those deliveries don'y look very secure)


i'm really good at convincing people that i'm dumb   ;DTHIS ID NO LONGER A TURN
