It's Wednesday! We're more than halfway through the week. Since we are over the hump, let's look at a question!



The latest set, Continuing Mission, gives a boost to several groups that have not gotten love as of late, but does so in a isn't the first go-around.

The Committee has released a ton of personnel after their initial debut. Take Omlau who came out years after the Hologram Bunch, including some skills that the faction would love to welcome.

Contrast that with the missions. They are targeted to the skills a group has and have gametext to help them out. It does depend on the deck, but it is another way to help an established group be a bit better.

Both of these have their benefits and drawbacks. You can also expect both to continue going forward, but what is your preference? Personnel or Missions? Vote in the poll above. Revoting is allowed so feel free to explain your favorite.

There are a billion and one other ways to give a carrot or grease, but what do you want of the two?

False binary. Both are necessary. Therefore, whatever one is lacking is what Design should focus on.

The most obvious answer is the same as it usually is with these questions: It depends.
