You giving me the cold shoulder? How cruel.

I'll vote for Shen Yu since they all look cool and he has the least (ie zero) votes atm.

Does his low area of influence mean he needs to take regular tours around the base?

e: switching vote to Alexis because while I didn't remember any particulars, I do know I followed the way old Evil Genius LP and it turns out Shen was our Genius that time

as the player you have enough to do without dragging your genius all over the base, normally i just park them somewhere high traffic and forget about them

I'm guessing that means you can't set patrol routes or something for the Genius.

That's why you make a decoy Genius to sit somewhere looking important while the real one does work. :v:

So if you pick Shen Yu you need to do a balancing act of placing him in a place that's both high-traffic for minions but also heavily protected?

good spots are in the control room, security rooms, or creepily looming over your minions as they sleep


Ah, Evil ASMR, no wonder it's so effective!

Voting for Alexis; IIRC the previous LP wayyyy back in the day was Shen Yu so let's try something new!

Was it? I tried to check but it's archived here but not on The Archives so I couldn't tell. If true I'll also switch my vote.

Alright, thanks! I'll make it official/bolded in my original vote post, but I'll switch to Alexis then.

That feeling when you're giving a tour to international investigators and accidentally kill them. :shrug:

I wonder why tourists keep coming to a completely empty island where they just walk around until they stumble upon what is obviously private property and workers moving around so they decide to just stroll in? At least you can capture them and put them through non-/lethal torture and have them escorted outside. Freaking jerks.

Heavily discounted tickets to a remote island resort*? Who could resist?

*according to the brochure

I guess I got confused or missed the part where you explained it, though from seeing what people wrote earlier I understand that is in fact the case.

But how do traps generate money exactly? Are there contraptions that pick people up and shake them down for cash like in old cartoons and such?

Oh okay, so that chamber Grey made is basically supposed to be a giant hamster wheel powering up a money-printer. I can dig it.

The mere fact you can setup an infinite wind trap is reason enough to do so

Always thought Green Energy refers to environmentally-friendly electricity production, turns out it's just money generators.

Gonna vote for The Butcher, because better the serial killer you know than one you don't.

e: I thought I'll just vote for one since I wasn't sure about all three but actually, another vote for Lord Kane and Blackheart

I'm looking at that chaotic mess of a line waiting at the pier, and all I can think is that the game very accurately simulates a moving trip. Or really any "organized" trip.
