[Riot Roundup]
Ok same as last time, als while copying over I broke the links, so for some of these i'm not recreating the anydice link you can use the ones in the last one. Also a message to anyone who decided to vote for something new, forcing the second one to add more options. i have you scent, you will not evade me forever.
Let The Light In: The Distortion Phenomenon is so new that almost nothing is known about it, unless you're the Dieci, even the Riot Offices 'Distorted Style' is more guesswork than actual reference. However, when a woman comes into the office literally leaking Light and screaming about everyone around her screaming in pain, you don't need to be a genius to figure out something is up. She wants the Riot Office to find a way to stop the voices, and not wanting to die horribly to The Wonderful Parade V2 the Riot Office is more than willing to do so.

Reward: 6 Funds, 500 Reputation, Progress on upgrading trait Distorted Scholars
Boni of 37 with 16 votes giving us 16d20+592. I would call this hilarious overkill, but we might end up squaring off against miss sunshine herself, so hey lets throw an average of 672 or so at it and see if we get it. Its urban myth so we might well eat -150 here.
[ ] The Basics Of Musical Theater: Singing offsets The Wonderful Parades music somewhat, that can be seen just by humming a tune. There is already a project for learning to sing in unison, but what about singing and fighting? It can be much more difficult than just singing, but it is also an important part of fighting The Wonderful Parades music.

Reward: -10 to What Wonderful Music! malus.
Boni of 15 with 14 votes, giving us 14d20+225 100% of success according to anydice. It is very technically possible to fail, but its so unlikely its being rounded to zero.
[ ] The Auction: When the Happy Meal Auction House announced that they have a copy of the original Zwei Association West Training Manual, everyone lost their mind. Everyone from Fixer offices to Syndicates want to get their hands on this thing, and the Auction house knows it. They have arranged an auction guarded by both Fixer Offices and Syndicate affiliates of Chef Mcdonald, and have made sure that everyone knows that whoever gets it at the end of the auction will keep it on pain of whoever steals it getting used as ingredients. The Riot Office has been hired as security, and hey, maybe they'll manage to curry favor with whoever buys it.

Boni of 49 with 8 votes giving us 8d20+392 average of 476 still not going to get it in one turn, but we'll take a big ole bite out of it, and we'll know what the malus is for next turn.
[ ] Introducing The Star Of Our Show!: One of the Riot Offices fixers has drawn the attention of The Wonderful Parade, somehow, and the distortion sent a personal challenge to them. That challenge being a 'duel between musicians' with their respective 'Bandmates and Friends' as the only allowed backup. Opinions are, shall we say, mixed on whether this is a trap, or if anyone should even go if it's not. Sadly the Hana refuse to classify this as anything more than a Canard unless we directly fight the distortion and kill it, which is probably more a form of suicide than an actual option for the office.

[Canard] [Parade] [Duel] [Bodyguarding]
Boni of 79, with 7 votes. giving us 7d20+553 avrage of 626 so we are for sure getting this one. I dont' think a Canard grade job is going to hit us with a -400
[ ] Prismatic Light: A strange Project suggested by an unknown fixer, the idea goes that since the Dark Days And White Nights originated from L-Corps Nest and since the Distortion Phenomenon began after that the two must be linked. So with that established, if the RIot Office investigated the ruins of L-Corps Nest we would find some info on the Distortion Phenomenon. Of course, the fist step to doing so is getting a presence in District 12.

Reward: Permanent Presence in District 12, Further Projects To Investigate The Nest, 1,000 Reputation
Boni of 15 and 4 votes, giving us 4d20+60, giving us an avrage of 102 out of 2000. god speed you crazy bastards.
[ ] Show Me Those Jazz Hands: It sounds stupid, but if you sing something other than parade music then The Wonderful Parade has a hard time controlling your mind. Now, a single voice will only piss it off and make a bunch of paraders appear to bash your head in, but what if the entire office sang along?
(36/150 Progress)
Boni of 15 and 7 votes, giving us 7d20+105 the chance of failure once again rounds to zero.
[ ] The Riot Fighting Style: The Riot Office is not like other offices, not only are the fixers that belong to it higher in number than normal but they also widely differ in their fighting styles, often bearing weapons that don't even fit to a vague unified theme. Making a weapon based fighting style is out of the question, but making one based on teamwork isn't. After all, there are no one-on-one fights in a Riot right?
(0/355 Progress)
Reward: +5 To Rolls All Requests.
Boni of 15 and 7 votes, giving us 7d20+105, should put in on average 178 so not getting it this turn, but next turn.
[ ] TrapTek Workshop Prototype: This Workshop focuses on surprisingly affordable trap placement kits, whether its a greased ball bearing launcher or metal spike pusher TrapTek has it all in mere moment! At least that's the slogan, in reality it takes upwards of five minutes for some of its equipment to set itself up. They promise a massive discount for the office if they get some help with testing out some 'rapid deployment' items in the field, it doesn't matter if they work or not they just need to show progress on their work before the Tres Association comes knocking.

Boni of 15 and 6 votes, giving us 6d20+90 giving an average of 150 not this turn, but for sure next turn.
[] Medical Expertise: Making every fixer a trained medical professional is probably a pipe dream, but making sure everyone knows the basics should be doable. If nothing else it would stop the few medics in the office from having to mend every dislocated shoulder and bandage every wound.
(15/75 Progress)
boni of 15 with 4 votes giving us 4d20+60 I'm not bothering with the anydice because this only needs 50. One person could re-task while only introducing a 0.5% chance of failure.
[ ] Twinning: With the rise of the Distortion Phenomenon more and more out there ideas have been entertained as possible reasons for it, but a pair of boys who came into the Office had a strange idea. They thought that being twins could affect it somehow, and they are willing to put enough Ahn on the line to prove it that the Riot Office accepted the Request.

[Canard] [Bodyguard]
Reward: 3 Funds, 100 Reputation
Boni of 47 with 3 votes giving us 3d20+141. minimum roll is 144, mean is 172.50. Should get this even in the face of significant penalties, I don't think a Canard job is going to hit us with over a -50 malus.
[ ] Basement Doors: The City is built upon itself, everyone learns that eventually. Whether it's randomly finding a staircase that leads to a sub-sub basement you didn't know you had or stepping on a patch of garbage and falling straight down into an abandoned factory, it is not exactly hidden. But even knowing that, finding a set of wooden double doors in the basement of our office is weird as hell. It looks like there are hallways behind it, maybe we should explore it?

[ ] Armor Of Contempt: The Wonderful Parade showed everyone that it's not enough to have a strong body, you must also have a strong sense of self. The only way to ward off attacks on your mind is with an armor of contempt, forged in your mind from all the aspects of your personality.

Reward: Reduce (What Wonderful Music!) Malus For Riot Office
Boni of 15 and 2 votes, giving us 2d20+30 getting it with the bonus along. Fun fact, one person proboly does not get it, 2 get it 100% of the time.
[ ] Parade Rejects: Rumors have it that the Riot Office is connected with the Parade, that they have the monster at its head under their spell, that it will even give them a private performance. Almost no one believes them, except for people that dearly wish to hear the parade again and don't know where else to go. So when the office gets a package containing a signed invitation to a performance spot and the words 'for my biggest (and first!) fans!' written on it, those desperate people started trying to steal it, and some rumors say they might even try to raid the office. It is probably a good idea to deal with them before anyone even considers the invite.

[Defense] [Canard]
Boni of 47 with 2 votes giving us 2d20+95 an average of 116. this needs 12 points, one person coudl re-task. Funny thing here is? i did re-task after the last round up, and then someone else joined in.
[ ] Door Kick'em: The Raid office came into contact with the Riot office by accident when a fixer who meant to sign on with the former ended up with the latter, but while initial contact was an accident, the second contact was not. Apparently the syndicate the office is hunting, one called The Pantry Fishers, stole a weapon from one of their Workshops and fled to District 23. They want you to get it back, and since they're pretty sure they killed all but one of the Syndicate members it should be within your capabilities. The fact it also means they only have to pay you like a canard request is completely coincidental.

Boni of 47 and 2 votes giving us 2d20+94 the minum takes the base cost and the avrage of 115 means this is fine baring a very high malus for a cannard job.
[ ] Couch Surfing: Ok, the Riot Office doesn't have a lot of standards, but a guy who looks like the epitome of 'strung out druggie' asking to crash on our couch is a step too far. Or it would be, if a bunch of people came in claiming he was 'The Broke God' and must be 'Defended At All Costs'. Admittedly the insane ramblings were not as convincing as the many weapons the people wielded, but either way the office needs to get a couch ready for a new guest.

[ ] What: Ok, so, The Milkinators are so armored(?) that they can't be damaged by being hit, and repels anything that hits them at double strength. What the hell, what are these things, how do they get strawberries or vanilla, or any other flavor for that matter, and where the hell are they plugged into!?! Figure out what's up with the offices' milkshake supply before it turns into poison or something.

Boni of 15 and 1 vote giving us 1d20+15 good luck buddy.
[ ] Pots, Pans, Plates Oh My: Sometimes it isn't enough to just be a skilled chef, you must also have good equipment. So to best take advantage of the recipes you can find on The Streets Of Flavor, the office should try and grab some good cooking equipment for the more culinary inclined fixers to use.
(138/150)
Boni of 15 and 1 vote giving us 1d20+15. It needs only 12 more points so the boni alone get it.
[ ] Rules And Regulations: There are so many rules that govern how a person is supposed to act in W-Corps Nest that you could drown in it, and since a majority of backstreets dwellers won't even see the walls of the Nest most don't bother learning them. Fixers, however, may eventually have to deal with Nest Requests or Feather clients, and getting a headstart on learning them will only be useful.

Reward: +5 to Requests with [W-Corp] Tag
Boni of 15 and 1 vote giving us 1d20+15 average of 25. May as well put a dent in this.
[ ] It's Raining Stationary: For a fixer office Ink is the blood that keeps everything moving, and paper is the bones that make everything structured. No matter how much you hate it, paperwork is a necessary evil. So when a Syndicate calling themselves the Stationary Guard starts attacking the suppliers of these vital black fluids and wood pulp, they call upon the Riot Office to save them in exchange for a large discount and buying more stuff to be used for paperwork. Unfortunately, this is an actually tempting offer.

[ ] Please Make Him Stop Screaming: A member of The Middle has been kneeling on the street for several days now. Normally this would be a very, very bad sign, but he seems to be screaming the word 'Milkshake' very loudly and very slowly. Please get him to stop without getting the office's name in the Book Of Vengeance.

[ ] The Wendigo: Cannibalism is about one step away from being celebrated in District 23, but there are still limits. The food must be cooked, it must be prepared, and above all else it must be tasty. Running into a crowd, beating a half dozen people over the head and eating them then and there is not that, and yet that is what the target of this request has done. For some very obvious reasons, many people want him dead.

Boni of 20 and one vote, giving us 1d20+20. you need many more dudes if you wanna do more than just feed the guy, so i suggest you either mob up or re-task.
[ ] Quantum Carburetor: Now this is a surprise, one of your fixers was contacted by a Feather with a request. Apparently some syndicate calling themselves the Quantum Slashers stole a piece of broken tech belonging to Warp Corporation, and more specifically one that was meant to be destroyed by the feather. To avoid being fired for their incompetence, they want you to kill every member of the syndicate and retrieve the device. They're willing to pay a lot for this to be done, but they want things to be kept silent.

Boni of 31 and one vote, giving us 1d20+31 the mauls for this last turn was -80, so your not going to put any progress into this unless you get a lot more guys. At this point I suggest you re-task.
[ ] Hunting The Hunters: Human meat is a delicacy on The Street Of Flavors, and it's in no short supply thanks to a collection of syndicates that focus on killing people in ways that don't 'damage the product.' figuring out who they are is the first step on the path towards making sure none of the office fixers end up being sold for parts, and maybe even taking human flesh off the menu entirely. After The Wonderful Parades rampage a lot of Syndicates got ripped apart, and are making much more obvious moves to reclaim their former positions.
(0/50)
Boni of 15 and 1 vote giving us 1d20+15 average of 25. decent rolls will put this in striking range of one person getting it next turn. a second person gets it up to a coinflip.
ok that should be everything again, if your putting points into a project that needs 1000+ points, I would recommend you hold off and instead work on options to buff project rolls first. on average, 1000 points of project is about 67 dice with only +15. A single increase of +5 takes that down to 50 shaving off a massive 17 dice.
