(No, I have a tank full of useless randos I got thrown at me because apparently I'm stuck in this turn 0 limbo forever.)

create the contract for Q. (Use her full name for contract creation)  While writing the contract, say the following. “Yes, you will get a contract, what is the name of this army you lead? Why is your smile fake?”

"Now that they've screwed up, get to it."

Order the remaining idols to defend the tank.  Keep moving around, looking for halo-girl

(That's five ones out of six dice, Irony.)
((Eh? I count [5][3][1][4][1][1] as the six most recent for you. That's still abysmal, but not 5/6.))

(I'm just utterly frustrated at not being able to recruit the idol I managed to see on turn one despite having those as my orders every single turn, and having additional idols thrown at me just when I had a group I could work with.)
((You went in hard first, then got bogged down. It's not like you've been trying to open the same door for six actions straight and it won't open; more like you tried to make yourself a sandwich and then get back to the door real quick, only the toaster ambushed you in between.))

The kitchenette mold free, you move on to the pantry. it's nasty in there. The bacon is grazing on the lettuce. The ham is having an illicit affair with the prime rib, The potatoes see all, know all. A rat in boxer shorts smoking a foul smelling cigar is banging on a cabinet shouting about rent money.

Glass is, as usual, correct.
Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

((He is literally throwing high quality Idols at you!))
((It's worth noting that "cool sounding" does not necessarily mean "useful." Someone can look totally badass or be carrying a huge gun and still be a very low-quality mook who's not very good at Idol-ing.

That said, Dev's still way ahead of a lot of other people in both resolving the riots and collecting the clients he wants.))

((To be fair, the current challenge seems to be less finding powerful idols and more surviving them.))
((That too! Lots of people are getting in brawls with applicants that are Idol-y enough to kick their asses, at least. Though especially in Dev's case, this is less useful with clusters using fancy hardware.))

((Of course! Cool sounding is much better.

(alright, edited it.  And I don't consider it unreasonable to expect to be able to sign someone after a dozen or so pre-game turns.  I was kinda hoping for some sort of simulator game, not a pure RTD.

I suppose the unreasonable expectation was to be able to choose someone instead of just getting whoever you're lucky enough to end up with.

And yeah, I'm pretty sure most of these are pretty poor idols.  I'm sure some are okay, but I have no idea which, and if they were any good, they're now dead due to failing against the next batch of randos, meaning that I'm just going to be stuck with whatever random idol wins the fight.)

“Target Meatbag has refused peace talks, you had your chance to end this charade. Now it’s time to end this”

Glamor Gals and Jormungara can still do whatever their doing, the Gals still being a metal-body shield as C0MMY approaches the white-armored figure. In which the robot will use both of his robotic arms to crush the neck muscles and than asphyxiate this idol, until well she stops moving

((I do apologize for the bait n switch, this is indeed not the intent of the main game. I erroneously and predictably assumed you guys would be a little more focused than this. :P

I'll try to get things to get back on track fairly soon. Despite the general faff, most people have at least one prospective client and the rioters have taken quite a bit of disruption.))
