Roddy did not like moving things by talisman. It was weird, it was unreliable, and no one seemed to how the darn thing actually worked. Unfortunately, his patron insisted the final tower be moved in one piece.

"I insist you move this tower in one piece!" Malifishmertz declared, manifesting himself once again as Roddy trudged inside. "This tower is the lodestone, the center of my magical spell! It cannot be taken apart without spoiling the bonds that keep me here and not, well, wherever you go for burning down Drusselstein.

So this is what the Talisman did. It's the reason we can recruit Mal immediately since the main tower could be moved in one piece.
 
So after some discussion on discord how does this sound.

Step one: We place Castle Doofhawk on the volcano so we have access to our Grunkle for the next turn.

Step two: We make Mount Doofhawk fly on a later turn to allow our Grunkle to be more mobile.

Step three: We turn Mount Doofhawk into a mobile carrier with a fleet of Normbots and magical capabilities thanks to our Grunkle/Coven.
 
Well if we buy Drusselstein we'd be able to be an actual king. Then we'd have a place where we wouldn't gave to worry about silly things like "American laws".

Not only that, we'd rule over the entirety of the Holy Roman Empire, Drusselstein was the last place to join and was left out when it dissolved so it is still considered part of the HRE after all.
 
If we dont get don karnage as an business partner I imagine Tobe would appreciate a nemesis. Sky pirate is a pretty good nemesis for mystical ninja in my opinion
 
Wait I just remembered, we also got Doonkelberrys along with the castle. We can now become the only source of them outside of Drusselstein.
 
Finally as for GoGo... frankly I don't think she's worth getting right now. Any new capabilities she unlocks are likely to be Learning-based, and we already have almost too many options there, while she is likely to not have any Occult capabilities. She might be useful if we decide to grab that BH6 hero ball, but for now, I'd rather not get her.
If we're getting more involved with cyber stuff, GoGo is better suited for identity disk combat than the characters that were actually made to fight with identity disks.
 
No, you're correct, I meant the US goverment. Well, technically I said "by next turn" -not "during next turn"- which includes all turns before next, but nobody likes a sore loser, so I guess I'll have to hunt down an avatar of Bill Cipher without his top hat. *dramatic sigh*
Guess that explains the new avatar. Was a bit confused about that :D
To anyone who for some inexplicable reason wasn't listening: HINT. HINT.
Meh, she's not really that big a priority for me. I wouldn't really fight it or give it a second thought if she was recruited but I also don't see it as urgent, regardless of the Dance Magic specialization. Now, if we suddenly went all in on our musical or entertainment industry, her potential good there for making really great effects and dances would actually raise her priority for me a lot more. As it is now though, she's on the same level for me as the Fujitas - interesting, but not uniquely compelling.
Is it railroading if we use the carrot rather than the stick, improving undesirable options rather than taking desired ones away? Juniper getting a weird occult ultility was thrown in by me for funsies because the general impression I got was that her character was fine but her (allegedly) unimpressive stats were a detractor.

Other than that, its mostly been me doing the suggesting and its not a serious issue. As long as you guys are having a good time and picking fun options, nobody loses.
While I haven't really taken issue with it so far in this quest, I would very much still take the carrot to be a form of railroading. Interference of any kind by QMs or QM-adjecents as you and Arathnorn are still tends to influence the vote greatly onto singular paths. I am of the philosophy that if a QM wants something done, it's better just to force it and let the audience know it will be forced beforehand to get it out of the way instead of constantly baiting people or "slyly" implying that they prefer specific options. It's more honest and within the QMs prerogative to enforce a specific narrative if they feel that is what they most want (so long as it doesn't limit too much obviously as it wouldn't be a quest then) or if that is what they are most capable* of writing. I find just being open about it is far less deceptive and creates less salt in general because people know what they are getting in to from the start, rather than trying to fight against the momentum a QM creates to herd voters in their specific directions simply for being the most authoritative voice on the story.

Like I said, not relevant to this quest so far. More just talking my general philosophy for quests.

*With the "capable" comment, that comes from the fact that a common mistake I see of newer QMs is that they only have an idea of what they want for a specific set of actions so they keep trying to herd the voters towards it, and then just have to go on hiatus or retcon the vote if what they want loses because they knew from the start they weren't able or willing to write anything else. Once again, not applicable here. Just speaking general philosophy. The Dance Magic thing isn't even that big a deal since it's mostly a side-thing and has no actual effect on route of the quest (beyond that which all hero units influence our success).
[X] Use the positive and negative probability ions flooding Danville to bring Princess Pony head back from the dead, who will be sacrificed in a black magic ritual to summon Teamo Supremo. Use Teamo Supremo to get in contact with the Fluppy Dogs, whose dimensional technology will allow us to reach the time machine our alternate self built. Using said time machine, go back and replace Perry the Platypus with a robot doppelganger seconds before his death. And finally, get Perry ordained as a Minister so he can officiate the ultimate Doof-Xanatos-Shego wedding.

If it isn't clear, this is 100% a joke. Like, every single part of it. Please don't take this seriously.
You forgot the part where Minister Platypus then destroys the Hoover Dam, contacts the surprisingly-alive Roger Rabbit to flatten Doom with a falling anvil, and then proceeds to build a bunch of boats for no discernible reason :V

Already going for this. I was convinced for this all the way back when Stanley first made that mountain. Someone around here brought it up, and it's what I want now.
Wait, could we...could we buy the country? It shouldnt be that hard.
I'll say it again. Hostile take-over of Drusseilstein followed by a coronation as the Holy Roman Emperor! :p

Come on, a haunted castle lair on top/within a volcano is *Villain Cred 101*, guys

As for the whole "buy Drusselstein and because of that kinda-becoming King of the HRE"...

I´d be up for it, if only to have those assholes from Doofs childhood be utterly humiliated.

EDIT:

For reference, in terms of interludes we still have those to go:

- First Day of Christmas (Doof throws a Christmas party, where Janna seems to stumble over Marco)
- Ave Maria (Xanatos decides to reveal Gargoyles to the public, which *doesn´t* violate the Masquerade because those beings count as *biological* and not *magical*)
- Twelfth Night (something bad happens - probably the Magical Masquerade breaking?) (might not happen this turn)
