Wait, when did we decide to eat the Ponyville president?
I thought we were going to do it with Spoiled Rich and use Filthy Rich for the Moth Sacrament.

We are eating Random McRandomface the Unlucky Victim for [Invitation to Dinner]

[Honored Guest] is mareinette's social action AP that lets her do a social action on our behalf and befriend mayor mare so that she doesn't get SHOVEL'd by the wolf cult
 
Having rechecked the situation yeah Velvet has to go on the expedition. We need the max rewards from it, to fund next turn. Then we can "Go All In"

I'm confused this is the second post you made arguing in favor of Velvet going and you're voting against sending her?

Man, I'm pondering! Ruminating! Considering! Reflecting! :V

Abdicating agency in a tense spot feels difficult to do. I know we can't influence the roll more than we have. But I feel we're passing up a vote that looks something like:

Hyperthermia has come to Equestria. Who, or what, do you want to save?
* Cadance
* Shining Armor
* The Lunar Bureau
* Get out of there, and get a head start on what comes next.

It's not trivial!

… but it might be rolling the dice for the Silver Key that gets me there. I want to know what it does so badly.
 
[X] (VELVET) You will personally join the Bureau in the expedition.
[X] (CHERENKOLT) Cherenkolt will personally join the expedition.
 
[X] (VELVET) You will personally join the Bureau in the expedition.
[X] (CHERENKOLT) Cherenkolt will personally join the expedition.
 
Normally I'd be all for the sub-optimal option if it has a good character motivation behind it, but this one doesn't really cross the threshold.

I don't think that Velvet would think that Daybreaker would kill Cadance, and with the family as prepared as can be without running for the hills right now...
Velvet is not soloing Daybreaker- not even holding her back, not even with Solid Snake and Pinocchio.
The only way she could try and salvage a fumble on Cadences' part here is through the Wolf, and that can be done when we get back.

That or by charging headfirst at it with every Name and hoping that a [Soft!New Game+] isn't worse than another stain.

[X] (VELVET) You will personally join the Bureau in the expedition.
[X] (CHERENKOLT) Cherenkolt will personally join the expedition.
 
On one hand I think Velvet should be there cause while she can't help directly with Celestia it could be a matter of her being able to react and save some lives and potentially get get more done before rushing to All in. On the other hand the potential for the silver key calls to me and we need that book. Also the fact Velvet has gone on so few expedition is one of my disappointments about the quest so far. Not a criticism of our choices, just sad because the ones we have done were so interesting.
Honest question though, if we do have Velvet go, it feels like a bit overkill to also send Cherenkolt.
