Oh, right. Yeah, that does make sense. To be fair, that part in and of itself just says InventCo is using mind control which...Probably isn't anything new in a setting like this, but fair enough.

You do have a point here, but one thing to consider is: Hego's a traditionalist. Back in the Golden Age of Heroics, there was an ethos to the fights, a set of rules almost, that made the whole thing - safe. Formulaic.
And even if he doesn't have the Glory Daze trait anymore, I bet Hego would still enjoy a good old-fashioned nemesis-ship. The kind where his nemesis comes up with a nefarious plot that threatens to but never really gets around to hurting innocents. They banter, they fight, Hego throws them in a revolving-door jail cell, everybody goes home.
And if Hego's not up for it, we can always hire Baron Von Steamer and Fredzilla, they are rocking that old-school nemesis-ship. Fred helps the old dude get home after they fight, for christ's sake.

Hego might go along with it for the charity fundraising but I agree he'd prefer to be punching drug dealers and other actual criminals than performing in some stage show. He might actually get bitter if our super sports stars start to earn more glory and acclaim than actual heroes.

...Uuuh, guys?
For a name, how about the Incredible Memorial Arena and Colliseum? I feel like Mirage might appreciate that.
It's about encouraging good, clean nemesis-ship, and giving villains a safe space to shoot for grandiose acts of glamour without endangering people's livelihoods. It's about getting to monologue to a paying audience. It's about being able to dramatically burst through walls safe in the knowledge that no-one will be harmed by the rubble. It's about spreading the message.
And our message is this:
Doofenshmirtz is probably one of the last people in the world who know the value of a good nemesis-ship. And that's sad, because a good nemesis can be better for you than a friend. So let's help remind people of what Good VS Evil is really all about: It's not about money, and it's not about hurting people, and it's certainly not about winning. Doof won and he's still processing the grief from that.
It's about railing against various (real or perceived) injustices, or espousing the superiority of your beliefs, and forcing the world to pay attention to you.

We have to remember to make the whole thing about helping the real heroes (and old-school villains) as well. The arena isn't meant to be just a way to get rich, it is legitimately about spreading the less-destructive values of the Golden Days.

My guess, Dominant to Thriving in Advanced Robotics, Established or Stable in Telecoms, at least Marginal in Computers/Electronics (DaedalOS was a joint enterprise, after all) and something respectable in Mass Media/Performance Arts (the Sands casino is still there, plus they are based out of Vegas). Probably some other odds and ends that haven't been plot relevant yet. Probably something in Defense, since Syndrome was into selling weapons.
DEI is probably bigger at this point, given our habits of buying subsidiaries, while Olympia has mostly dealt with internal matters.

Another benefit of "formalizing" the Good vs. Evil dichotomy with wrestling-like "Arch-ing" would be the drastic decrease of *accidential* collateral, a lot of which we´d have to pay for via Insuricare otherwise.
So us and Olympia getting a lot of that vigilantism "off the street" would make things far easier on our pockets on top of the social and health considerations.

Rather wholesome, on average.
Good to see a crit with impact.
Got to be Winston. We already have a skullduggery expert in Xanatos. Better to have an actual friend than just another favourable colleague.

The thread is crazy.
...but it might be the good kind of crazy.
A minor nitpick, but I'm a bit miffed Monogram didn't take part in this conversation at all. Perry was an OWCA agent, after all.

One thing I noticed in the update.
I'm surprised that Monogram didn't get involved when telling stories about Perry.
That could have been a fun little bonding moment. Him and Doof going "remember the time you tried to "blank" and Perry stopped you?" "That was a good one!".
Could have had some nice synergy there with the three of them.
Not a big deal or anything.
Edit: Wow. Ninjad by just a moment.
That's bizarre. I thought I was the first to think of it and someone else says it at the last second while I'm typing.

Ya know, i'm actually looking through our earlier crits to see if the fails are worse then successes are good, and, uh...I'm realizing just how many of our early hero units we got from crits. Wile, Dennis, KHAN (well, OK, we would have gotten him without the crit, but his Martial would have been almost half of what it is), ETC.

Sinatron is a Natural ally against Doom's Racism. Also in AI rights. Winston is... a good friend? But he doesn't have to be a King to be that. Also the other option sounds like we'll be spending significant resources propping him up from time to time. Inevitably we're gonna have to cjoose between helping him and helping us.

Doesn't the vote not open for another 4 hours?
It just seems like some people are casting there votes.
I'm fine either way, I'll probably abstain.

I'm for giving Winston a fighting chance, let him lose with dignity, with full knowledge what's on the line.
Otherwise, I fear he might go mad in another way.....
Also, this will boost both of them too.

Winston would fill in pretty much the same "anti-racism role", just excluding the personal investment in AI Rights (which would instead come from Sinatron being his councilor in either Diplo or Intrigue anyway). Also, the other option would literally help him grow a backbone of his own, so we wouldn´t have to prop him up after that.
Yeah, worth noting: I feel like neither Winston nor Sinatron would completely discard the other. Sinatron will probably have Winston as Steward, and Winston will probably have Sinatron as Spymaster.

Definitely, but I just think that Winston A) deserves Kinghsip more thanks to his moral integrity and B) because of it would be a better Ally and "Token Good Teammate" of the Corporate Court, once we get that running for good.
I just realised before we stepped in to fix Sinatron, Cyrus Bortell almost managed to be a third super-hating King Kronosquest would have to deal with
