... roll to magic is the only other one that's currently running.

Plus Einsteinian Roulette, but... you know piecewise.

Historically? A lot. Consult the hall of legends for the select few considered best.

There are only two sure things in life: death and taxes and lists and poor arithmetic and overlong jokes and poor memory and probably a few more things.

me, leader number 2, and 50 cultists: go and try to convince the PD to return our firearms, peacefully. after all, this defeats the second amendment, which is the right to keep and bare arms.
Leaders 1 and 4, along with the 50 marksman: start scavenging for materials to use as armor or make into armor. Remember, staying alive is priority to actually finding anything.
Leader 3 and all other Regular cultists: attempt to make amends and re-strengthen the community. We're not bad people, just a bit strange.
Leader 5, and the fanatics: procrastinate wildly.
Hecklers: go off to form a separate cult or something. we don't have to listen to this chump of a horror!

Banana hammock and company: Recruit and start to form my own cult.

I figure at some point, you're just gonna run outta fucks to give and just off yourself whenever you get hurt at all. It's not like there's any downsides to it. Hangover? Suicide will fix that. Stubbed your toe? Suicide. Headache? Suicide. Papercut? Suicide.

Bare arms: [4] You and your cultists manage to convince the police to let you have your weapons back. They are unmoved by your arguments about the second amendment, until you tell them you'll use the weapons to act as a militia and defend the area. They tell you not to cause trouble. (regained firearms)
Armor: [6] They find a bunch of scrap metal and haul it back. Everyone makes it alive, but a few of them injure their backs hauling. Lift with your legs, dammit! (marksmen get bad backs, gained rough armor)
Community: [6] You get the community to work as one once more, but some people point out that not having a divisive cult would probably make the community even stronger. (PR down, community stronger)
Break away: [5] They run off and make a new group, not linked to some looney in a swimsuit! (Heckler's guild faction made, all hecklers transfer to it)
Start own cult: [2] They just won't leave! What's with these clingy bastards?

Salmoning: [4] they can't summon you since you're not a fish, but they do perform the ritual and get a new horror under your rule. A bubble of murky swamp water rises from the ground and from it swims what looks like a big clownfish, except colored black and white. (Count Trout summoned)
Spoiler: Count Trout (click to show/hide)
Clear the way: [6] They literally break their backs pulling out the boards. With all this work just to undo their idiot buddies' mistake, they decide to quit the cult. Luckily, the way is clear. (base no longer on lockdown, passageways unboarded, -5 cultists)
Claim graveyard: [2] They get chased away by the spirits of the dead. Seems the locals aren't as friendly after they die.
Recruit: [3] You get some generic scrubs from the nearby town to join you. (+25 cultists)

Cultists: Continue to protest against money.
Recruit: [1] You try to get people to join you, but they get annoyed at your voice. BLASPHEMY! THE VOICE OF A GODDESS WILL NOT BE MOCKED LIKE THIS! (+25 inquisitors)
Protest: [6] The protest breaks into a riot, and some of your cultists get caught up in it. (50 cultists injured, Protest has become heated)

Bah.
100 scholar cultists: do research to find a summoning ritual that only uses an Orb of Stalwart, but destroys it in the process and may have side effects.
43 normal cultists: if the summoning ritual is successfully researched, use it and the Orb of Stalwart to summon Quarken. If not, work with Quarken to recruit scholars to join his cult.
Quarken: if the summoning ritual is successfully researched, prepare to be summoned. If the ritual is not successfully researched, work with the 43 normal cultists to recruit more scholars to join your cult.

Giving waitlisted people the ability to murder non-responsive players was a great idea. Need to do that more often.
