Juice Earning Actions for Sleepers?
« on: January 04, 2011, 07:31:14 pm »

Thought I saw this in another thread but I couldn't find it.

I assume the only actions which produce juice for sleepers are ones that entail risk? Espionage, embezzlement, sabotage ect....? I thought I recall seeing somewhere that advocating liberalism or just laying low was supposed to produce at least some juice?

Advocating liberalism's benefit is, well, advocating liberalism.  Laying low raises effectiveness by 1% per month (if you're playing a very long game this might be more useful, though trying to raise a fellow up from 28% to 100% is going to take you six years).

But yes, only the risky endeavours are exciting enough to juice them up.  Interestingly, I've also seen their juice drop during espionage when they've gone a long time without getting anything interesting.  Better saved for the more influential ones.

I've tried to improve the sleeper/juice system so many times that I can't even remember how it works. It's nice to read a post that makes it sound very sensible and not broken.  :o
