[INWO-list] Comeback quiz 3 - Power!

[martin laerkes]

This is the 3rd helping of solutions to the Comeback quiz. This time, 
accumulating lots of power is the key. After all, Bavaria is your 
illuminati!

There are several ways of attaining 40 points of power beyond Bavarias own 
10. Especially with a privileged attack and 3 plot cards. Here are some of 
the stranger ones:

7. Power Bonuses
The Power-Ups (a.k.a. Power-to-6) plots can be combined with several power 
bonuses to produce an easy route to 50.

Groups: Björne, Gordo Remora, Showmaster, Recording Industry, Subliminals.
Plots: GrassRoot Support, Self Esteem, Nobel Peace Prize.

Bavaria Uses it's privilege to take Hollywwod on a 10 or less.
Play your 3 power-ups on your 3 personalities.
You now have a base power of 10+6+6+6+2+2+3 = 35
However, Hollywood gets + 6 for the 3 media personalities.
The Recording industry adds another +6 (+2 to each media personality)
And Subliminals gets +5 (on for each of your media groups)
Presto, 52 power.

8. Resourceful Cyborgs
Resources are another great way of accumulating some power.

Groups: State Lotteries, Evil Geniuses.., L-4 Society, NASA, Manuel Noriega.
Plots: Super Nova, Big Score, You'd Pay to know what you really think.

Use Manuel Noriega, Big Score and the privilege to grab New York.
Use Evil Geniuses to take over Cyborg Soldiers and link it to themselves.
Use Super Nova and your space actions to take over 2 more cyborg soldiers.
You now only have 1 group left on hand. Spend State Lotteries token to 
return it to your deck, and draw 1 less group (0 groups). That card is now 
at the top of your group deck.
Play You'd Pay to Know... on State Lotteries, replacing it with the top card 
from your group deck - the Mafia!
Link your Cyborg Soldiers to New York and the Mafia.
Finally, use Bavarias token to take over an Orgone Grinder and link it to 
Manuel.
You now have: 10 + 7x2 + 6+2 + 2x2 + 6 + 2 + 1 = 49; +1 for New Yorks 
special ability.


9. Blinded by Power.
Blinded by Science requires you to accumulate just 30 - giving you a 10 
point head start.
You could use South American Nazis, but this is also fun:

Groups: Evil Geniuses.., Orbit 1, Corrective Phrenologists, General 
Disorder, Robot Sea Monsters.
Plots: Blinded by Science, Back to the Salt Mines, New Blood.

You need a 6th science group, so have Corrective Phrenologists attack to 
control New York, using Back to the Salt Mines and bavarias privilege (on a 
10 or less). Then use Nutrition Nazis as a plot to make NY a science group.
Spend Evil Geniuses token to take over the Flying Saucer. Then, discard the 
Back to the Salt Mines, which you got back, to the top of your deck, and use 
it to power the Flying Saucer, taking over The Big Prawn and linking it to 
New York.

The rest is pretty standard - give the General New Blood, and use Bavarias 
token to take over the Necronomicon, doubling his power. Count 'em up: 34 
power.

10. Shangri-La also requires you to gain just 30 power. Again, the solution 
is one big group.

Groups: Elvis, Church of Elvis, Princess Di->Dittoheads Professional Sports.
Plots: Unmasked, Shangri-La, Sufficiently Advanced Technology.

Play Nutrition Nazis as a plot on Church of Elvis, and then Sufficiently 
Advanced Technology. Use Bavarias token to take the Necronomicon and link it 
to the church. It now has power 16. Use its token (and the privilege) to 
grab Japan on a 10 or less, for 6 more.
Princess Di has power 2, +2 more from dittoheads, and +3 from the sports 
link. 29.
Finally, Dittoheads is now peaceful, adding +1, and getting one more from Di 
from being liberal. 31.
Unmask as Shangri-La.

Cheers
Martin
