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.
I mean...not necessarily? I don't see why Taxi Driver coming out would have any effect on us knowing whether or not De Niro was a fan of ours and Magoose has forgotten things often enough, including important plot points. We still haven't got any word on what it was that our Dad wanted to tell us after he got shot about our family or whatever it was, for instance. It's not a big deal overall and it's not something I would necessarily expect to be the case, but it happens.
When you're juggling as much as he seems to be, it's not exactly surprising that you're going to forget or mix things up. Not everyone can keep track of so many things at once. And even if they can, people still make mistakes.

Bruh, Magoose is evil for dumping six new socials during the turn we auto pass personals. I guess I'm fine with this, most of the new stuff seem pretty important or at the very least would make Bruce happy and would probably have room for lots of good stuff. I guess that leaves the big question on if we should do any Lucasfilms stuff, specifically the trailer this turn, and for the new stuff if we should do the Olympics one considering we got nearly a year and it's an easy DC 10.

But it would be a very reliable income source, and we would still have 15 MILLION in the bank. We really aren't hurting for cash, especially since Star Wars is about to hit the silver screen

--[X] Housing Development [$15 Million]: It's about high time to build something with the Hills Development, and after having read Ildefons Cerdà's original plans for Barcelona [during one of your visits to the Library with Carrie] you feel that there's an opportunity here, so you plan to contract a Civil Engineer to help bring your vision of a developed urban center and affordable apartment housing that exists in harmony with nature to life, with room to grow for higher educational and religious centers.
Well, had to scrap the majority of the previous plan on account of the current circumstances, so mostly using this as an opportunity for downtime to support everybody who help us get here (and get some tea while we're at it) with three two exceptions in the Trailer, expanding the Practical Effects Department and finally using that development for something to help our Charity Work.
[EDIT: Just noticed I miscounted, and took out Mando's Gym to fix it. *Sigh* Maybe one day.]

You're not wrong necessarily, but I'm just not comfortable going through that much money in 1 action, particularly because it's still subject to rolls and could fail and we lose that money or get worthless land or property.

--[X] $4 Million. Bruce Lee Memorial Gymnasium: Open to the general public and offers an adult accreditation programs as well as an After School program for underprivileged children; to start, The Gymnasium consists of four core programs: The Bruce Lee Memorial Martial Arts and Stunts Program, Conditioning and Exercise Athletics Program, Craftsman and Survivalist Accreditation Program, Firearm and Weapon Safety Accreditation Program. Build on 10 Acres of owned land. (Credit to Orion Ultior)
---[X] Part I: The Bruce Lee Memorial Martial Arts and Stunts Program: (Action Cinematography)
The Bruce Lee Memorial Martial Arts and Stunts Program was created in honor of one of the greatest martial artists of all time. This program is designed to emulate the teachings and philosophies that Bruce Lee imparted through his own martial arts journey. Students will learn various styles of martial arts including Jeet Kune Do, Wing Chun, and Muay Thai, among others, to build a well-rounded foundation of techniques.
Beyond just the martial arts, students will also learn the importance of discipline, respect, and self-awareness. The program is much more than just learning how to fight. This is about developing a mindset and a lifestyle that can be applied to all areas of life.
The program is also strongly focused on stunt work, with instructors who have extensive experience in the movie industry. Students will learn how to perform various stunts and fight scenes safely and professionally, gaining insight into the world of stunt work and the importance of precision and attention to detail.
Finally, the program is intertwined with charity work, with proceeds from tuition and donations going towards various organizations that align with Bruce Lee's vision of spreading kindness and positivity. The Bruce Lee Memorial Martial Arts and Stunts Program is a combination of physical training, mental fortitude, and community service, providing a unique and fulfilling experience for all who participate.
----[X] Before Construction begins, Ask Linda Lee for permission to use her late husband's name and likeness for the gym. Emphasize dedication to youth outreach and forwarding Bruce's philosophy and contributions towards cinema. If Linda refuses, accept and change gym name to Bruce O'Brian Gym and Community Center and Bruce O'Brian Martial Arts and Stunts Program.
-[X]The Friendship and Brotherhood of George Lucas: George wants to hang out and have fun. DC: 30
-[X]Modeling (High Fashion): So you got a call from a photographer in LA, some no name. But that no name works for Gucci. And he wants you on their next lineup of products. And he needs you to model for him. Which is great… one problem, you have no idea what the hell you are doing. DC: 60
So I really think we ought to take advantage of that amazing deal last turn with the free auto pass for all personal actions. As such, I want to postpone Lucasfilms stuff til next turn and focus on important personal stuff. I am willing to switch in the Trailer or Olympics for the George action.
Carrie action cause Carrie stuff comes first. Love to see fluff between Bruce and Carrie, and honestly after five months of filming and then coming home to find Debbie nearly dying and having to take care of her for an entire month, the two definitely deserve a romantic night to destress and grow closer. Also related, just spend some nice bonding time with our pets and show Natalie the doggo and Ginger the kitty some love.
Be a total bro for John and Robin. Help give John a place to stay away from the craziness of LA and it seems like he's probably going through a lot of stress and pressure as an A-lister so be a bro for him, also roomates with John Travolta is fun. Ensure Robin has an amazing debut night with the auto pass and support his dreams.
Find out just who famous likes us and connect and network with them.
As a concession, work on Orion's dream gym to earn us supplemental income and ensure that the future of all action movies finds their origin within our school. I'm fine with everything except the name. Changed it to Bruce Lee Memorial Gymnasium as a way to honor Bruce and keep it reputable as a film training place and athletics association.
George hangout to help destress from the editing stuff and unwind from Star Wars, maybe we can hopefully give him inspiration for editing or the trailer and stuff. This is one I'm very willing to toss out, whether that be the Trailer or the Olympics.
Finally Modeling so we can break out into fashion and establish Bruce as a sex symbol, hopefully gain a modeling trait like Carrie.
You're not wrong necessarily, but I'm just not comfortable going through that much money in 1 action, particularly because it's still subject to rolls and could fail and we lose that money or get worthless land or property.
Only gripe I have with the name change is that it gives the impression of ignoring the rest of the film crew as a whole, and practical effects in general in the progress, specifically because it sounds like the stunt program is going to be a big part of the branding.
That and the gym's supposed to be part of LucasFilms Unlimited, and fits the branding already in place.
I chose the pet one mainly because I don't want Bruce to accidentally roll a 1 or some other low number and have his pets hate him or have other issues which is really depressing and I don't want anything bad to happen to our two girls. So it's some security so we keep the pet stuff pretty happy.
As for the Mando Gym one, do people want to keep the name? I thought the consensus was that it sounded too weird and we needed a more generic non-Star Wars name? I guess I can change it back for now.

I changed it back but I don't really see a problem with School of Action is a bad name. Being a Gym and all four of the accrediation programs technically fall under the scope of being Action traits with survival, shooting, stuntwork, etc. I think that the name can encompass all of it effectively as a brand and all you need is some decent marketing to truly get it around to people what it's all about.
