    Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

    So we have some bad news.

    The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

    I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it

    TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

    To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

    I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

    I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

    I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

    I'll see you all around.

    With so many regards, Duke William Of.

    • [X] How to NOT SORD like old men
    -[X]The Swordfighting: George wants to try and make David Prowse try and fence Mifune. You need to tell him that is a terrible idea. Peter is literally there, and while he may not have the size, he has the experience that almost everyone here lacks.
    -[X]Preparing for The Big Scenes: You are going to get ready for the big shoot-out scenes in the hallway. Everyone is getting a god damn dressing down to make it look good.
    -[X]Darth Vader's Boots: David Prowse was always going to have trouble in the suit, mostly because he knew his voice was not going to be in the final product. You need to find a way to tell him that it's a damn good thing.

    A plan that revamps the action scenes into the frenetic style not seen until the 2000's. Blow their minds with SORD and blaster!

    []There is Underwear in Space George: Carrie has a problem. For the first few days of shooting, she was not able to wear a bra, and it was making her uncomfortable. Hopefully, George can listen to reason.

    If our waifu has to cary the movie with her badonkers, we should just ask George if the male cast can also not wear underwear… for the lore consistency!
     
    [X] Plan Wife Support and Safety First
    -[X]Carries Oscar Interruption: Carrie asked if she could take a three-day break so that she could appear at the Oscars, seeing as she's nominated for 4 of them.
    -[X]Into the Trash!: Why the hell would George allow this dangerous stunt? Sure you don't see why not, but you want to make sure Mark is okay.

    No matter what I think the top two are the most important and should be inserted into any winning plan. This is an important moment for Carrie in her first ever Oscars ceremony for her dream film which became the highest grossing and Carrie has the potential to be the youngest ever Oscar winner and take home four. We would be a terrible husband by denying her such an opportunity and if Carrie wins then it's going to be a huge boost to Star Wars ticket sales.

    We need to do the trash compactor scene safely because Mark burst a blood vessel in his eye and I don't want things to be worse than they were OTL or for us, Carrie or Peter to get injured.

    Lastly to meld good with the Oscar interruption, try to make George see some common sense and that women wear underwear in space (For comedic effect Bruce should threaten to join in solidarity by refusing to wear underwear if Carrie has to do so). The third option is the weakest link and I'm open to changing it if someone feels there's something greater. For the Vader thing we should do Prowse and the fight no matter what.

    @Magoose Since We have 8 normal actions, how come we don't get four actions per production turn instead of 3? Or is three actions the maximum on all production turns til the end of quest?

    3 is the max for the entire quest unless your directing and then you get 4.

    It's mostly a balance reason.
     
    @Magoose just for reference, how many more production turns are there going to be? I'd like to know in order to better make a decision on what I want to vote for and prioritize.

    [X] Plan All The World's A Stage
    -[X] Carries Oscar Interruption: Carrie asked if she could take a three-day break so that she could appear at the Oscars, seeing as she's nominated for 4 of them.
    -[X] The Master: Mifune is still trying his best to survive this production. However, there is a small problem. He wants to…visit a Shakespeare company production.
    -[X] Into the Trash!: Why the hell would George allow this dangerous stunt? Sure you don't see why not, but you want to make sure Mark is okay.

    I figure we can get the more time sensitive stuff out of the way (remember, we have 3 turns), and use this as an opportunity for a little down time while Carrie's away.

    It's a personal issue for Carrie both here and in OTL, but there's also the fact that the idea "Underwear in space doesn't exist." is just a dumb idea all together.

    I think George was going for a sword and sorcery sort of aesthetic, one that is problematic on both a ethical and practical level (the implications of both probably flew over his head in favor of art), but I think we can appease both sides with something like taping or a sports bra (which, I think the first of which came out this decade).
     
    [X] Plan Wife Support and Safety First

    On another note, it was foolish of us to think that we could make Stormtroopers into marksman with proper trigger discipline.
     
    Oh and BTW.

    THe Oscars... Oh my the Academy is not going to be happy about the current state of affairs.

    Both in this timeline and currently.

    I can't belive I predicted the Strike in Hollywood. That is... weird.

    ...Oh no!

    i need to reroll the dice for something important! OH GOD!

    No Carrie herself is nominated for 4 Oscar's including best actress, best original song, best original screenplay. The 4th is best original score as she wrote and composed all the music in the movie.

    She might even beat John Williams, this year.
