Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Seems like there alredy is a conflict of interests because Soft is the "leader" of a cult with her mother being the unofficial boss of the pony SCP Foundation.
Things like that would be met with the roadbump named Soft i believe.
Actually, maybe a relevant question, @OurLadyOfWires. If we don't take over Soft's cult, are we actually able to work against them if they start going around, say, murdering mayors in the town we live in as a totally hypothetical situation? Or beforehand, if we decide that actually we just...
Expected and still faster than the Bureau.
Again, expected. Nothing that makes me want to drop Freedom.
A Cult is just so interesting. And I still think we could fix them, if not then make a trap to get rid of them.
I wasn't really pinged, but given the discussion surrounding "Freedom" in particular, I can give Velvet's perspective on it. And since this would be the most "hoofs on" option, I can also elaborate on what Velvet would expect herself to (have to) do following it.
So first things first.
Velvet...
And it's not like they'd be running off of an entirely separate library... we need to level up the Bureau's Lores anyway, so any study or manuscript actions that we would hypothetically do "because cult Lore levels" are probably going to happen (or not happen) regardless of if we pick up Soft's...
Even if we give them directions that doesn't really guarantee anything does it?
If the option ends up winning fine, but i really don't feel like losing an AP when we are on a alicorn shaped time limit.
Technically it is 1/3 of a cult now. It still needs to develop.
Soft's cult is a immediate cult from what it seems.
Besides some follower AP could be helpful if that is the exchange. Velvet already relies on others for a lot of things.
You are assuming we will use them as a proper cult...
Except that Soft is still 100% in the dark that she's leading a cult. She still thinks that this is just a friend group. I'm not gonna trust someone to do a job that they are completely unaware that they've been assigned to.
Like I said before, the Wolf cult is already culling it's own members...
With what free time?
A Velvet ap per turn is very expensive especially since we already have a cult in the Bureau.
And for what?
Finding expeditions, the Bureau can do that for us.
Rituals, they're are beginner cult, it will take them ages to be of any useful help.
Also we have had Velvet...
You are making assumptions, we don't know what's going to happen, hindsight and all that.
For all we know she will roll a nat 1 behind the scenes regardless of choice.
That's absurd, being more directly involved is obviously going to be better for Soft than dumping some rituals on her and then not involving ourselves any further.
