E. We can be a colossal jackass and soak up the luck and pratfall our way through life while everyone around us falls through open sewer grates.

Do we decide how we effect luck? Or is it'Other people are luckier and I'm not, or vice versa'

Edit: Changed to D below.

Jo can cause a lucky event to happen for herself. She could, for example, make herself win the lottery! If she did that, however, an EQUALLY unlucky event will befall her. Like... getting rear ended onto a train crossing in front a train full of chemicals that only runs through the area once a year, while Harrison Ford's plane crashes on her at the same time. So, she keeps it to small things, or at least has until now!

She can also choose to experience bad luck in exchange for random good luck later. Once she effects her luck she WILL have an opposite reaction at some, random point in the future.

Additionally, she may be able to change the luck of others in the future. Maybe. If she doesn't get a life threatening infection from a paper cut or fall into a sewer grate before then. ;)

There is absolutely, positively no way that goons won't end up blowing a huge wad of luck on a stupid venture and then screwball it all up. Changing my vote to D, we need survivability and the opportunity to make mortal mistakes over :suicide:, and over :kingsley:, and over :happyelf:. Just gotta keep that heart rate up :cocaine:.

I answered this in part above, but yes. Jane eats and breathes and needs to do so in order to function. She could go without eating...but starving to deathhealing coma isn't really conducive to getting anything accomplished.

If she held her breath she would pass out. If she drowns... well, that's an interesting one. She'd need to be fished out of the water to recuperate. Good thing she's the boss and has underlings to order around!

Has jane experienced decapitation, industrial shredding or similar total body deconstruction?

She can heal brain damage to a certain point. If her brains were, for a random example, splashed all over a door frame by a fifty foot giant, she would be dead.

It doesn't affect her personality or memories. At least, not that she's noticed!

Are we going to go for harmony with humans and just take down the dicks, or do we want to establish a genocidal five year plan? I'm leaning toward the former.

Ask intercept to find out who the Locos major players are, who and where their families live and if they've got any major detractors. Let's play the hearts and minds angle especially on social media, see if we can get them alienated in their own homes and neighbourhood. Two headed mutant bunny says 'don't tread on me'

Try and develop a Rep as a gang that just wants harmony.

Talk to the rival gang and see if we can develop a 'you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours' relationship. They can provide muscle and bodies, we can help with inventive trouble shooting.

Uh yeah. If Thom's Uzi idea dosen't work for some reason stare at the stupid Desert Eagle for a bit and slap Squib across the back of his head. Go down to the local army surplus store and pick up a slingshot and a bag of marbles. Then drag him away from his cartoons and spend a day in the desert making sure he can use his motherfucking RPG and bag of grenades without blowing his friends up.

I'm going to leave the vote open for a while longer. Our results so far (exactingly calculated via Borda count) are to (1) DIVIDE THE LOCOS, (2) WIN HEARTS, and (3) FIND STASH (but not at all costs). More than half of you also don't mind DROPPING BODIES while you do so, but listed it as your last priority which to me means we wouldn't be trying to up the body count, but we won't cry ourselves to sleep about dead Locos in the street, either.

Keep the flashy blow em up types on a tight leash. Dead bodies or no we'll attract a large amount of negative attention if people think we're using weapons of war, even more so if it's mutants.

B. Recklessly put ourselves in harm's way as a distraction/cover for our other more dangerous/useful members. Remember that in a combat situation we're essentially an unspecial mook that can take a few more hits. They're attacking children so don't worry about PR and light em up.

Locos can wait, we hosed them up and if we go quiet they'll probably get the message we aren't to be messed with. If we try and waste them it'll turn into full scale gang violence and that sucks.

Lets focus on recruitment and consolidation, for the moment, then training and elimination of enemies. Establish army, train army, watch a zombie start a loving war.
