Yeah I thinking we are receiving coal since we lie to make the SPD, Springfield Police Department, to be more effective, hire a mob boss and fully intend to help him restore his criminal empire and bribe a politician to do whatever we want with Springfield.
I don't think so? The Krusty show and Itchy and Scratchy are both shows that he's fine with showing. I thought "Ask for the chance to be able to put other types of shows or content on Doof TV" was the pitch a tv show option or something like that.
I wrote an omake a while back about Santa getting a bit of info about what's going on in Springfield concerning Abe and Burns' recent changes in fortune. The reward I chose was for an "old friend" to visit during the next turn that has the Christmas season, that being turn 5.
And honestly? I think we've generally been pretty moral thus far; the worst thing we've done so far is probably either working with Fat Tony or giving Wiggum a tank. I'd say that our good deeds have probably generally been outweighing the bad so far. Will that continue? Only time will tell.
This is a terrible idea. We'd have to pass both actions to buy them or else fail the collab and probably lose opinion from Doof. And even if the DCs aren't that high, the DC for setting up patrols last turn wasn't very high either and look how that turned out.
I strongly recommend against voting for that. We can buy one for the next turn and put it on Doof TV, but let's not push our luck. Might as well ask why they never combined Star Trek and The Walking Dead into one show. Honestly...
Recheck the roll, we only needed an 8 or higher on a D100 to pass. We got super unlucky, and we need less to get I&S and Krusty. Apu has a 25 Stew and we have 8, so for Krusty, which is a 35 we only need a 2 or better so we only fail on a Nat 1. I&S we'd need a 17 if we put Kaiser on it due to his 20 Stew, that's still extremely easy. This is without any omake Bonuses, so my math could be altered for that.

I know it's not gonna work but I really want the Blue Haired lawyer to be there with us to argue over the definition of "Bad or Good" with Santa. It'd end badly but it'd be funny as hell.

True, thought a stray nat 1 could always put things in jeopardy.
Also as an aisde if you are going fro doof tv collab adn trying to buy both toons and krusty, one of those will have to be with Jasper, cause, cause those 3 are stewardship actions pretty sure, and qimby free action doest apply to this.

Also the Kaiser new position as Manager lower all Steward Actions by -5 and a random Steward Action receive a further -5 on each turn. So Krusty Show now is 30 and Itchy and Scratch is also lower to 40.

Yeah I guess just one of them is good enough for now since Jasper have very low stats and is somewhat risky to use him in critic time project such as this to buy either Krusty or Itchy and Scratch since Abe and Jasper only has a 8 on these stats.

Well we do have two +10 omake bonuses to buy Itchy and Scratchy. So if those are used and we put Jasper on it he's rolling a +36 after all bonuses. And we can put Gil Gunderson on any stewardship action to give it a +5. I honestly like our odds if we try for both next turn.
You know I was thinking since one of the QMs said that clowns tap into the Toon Force in this quest and Sideshow Bob used to be one. I like to think part of the reason he never manage to succeed in his plots to kill Bart is because he's not making any of his plans funny, melodramatic and ironic yes but not funny, and is more funny to him lose in all his attempts to kill a eight year old boy where it should be absurdly easily after he goes all the way to set a a frankly absurd murder plot.
However as a clown that's a bit too tap in the Toon Force this somewhat influence his thoughts so he never goes for the simple solution, like pick a gun and shot Bart in the street one day. Judge Doom and Negaduck manage to find loopholes that allow them to commit murder using the Toon Force but Bob is yet to find it and as far he's aware it's not possible, Negaduck is from a alternate reality so many people probably think that Negaduck happens to be a exception since is possible in his reality allow toons to commits brutal murders.
Edit: I imagine in gameplay terms Bob receive a hefty bonus in his preparation to kill Bart, since is funny he prepares a overly complex plot just to kill a boy, but when the time comes to do the deed he receive a hefty debuff since is also funny for him to not succeeding in killing say eight year old boy despite all the absurd preparations he made, he thinks a bit like a Toon when he came up with this ideas.
Although in the moment he realize it's possible to use the Toon Force to murder then Bart will be a land of trouble.
My two cents, I think the Back-around steel option is the best for the Doof collab. Doof has an insane Learning stat which if we combine it with Frink will basically make this a slam dunk. I'd also say we do a counteroffer of getting a bit more income from the deal, but accept easily if Mirage shuts us down on that front.
This gives me an idea. A very Burns day.
Charles Montgomery Burns was not a happy man, not in the slightest.
They were deep within their new HQ, after having to move out of their most secure one because those fools couldn't keep their eyes on one Mona Simpson.
And here he is yet recieving more bad news.
''What do you mean you cannot find anyone else to recruit in this miserable city?!'' Mr Burns said in an irritated tone.
''It is as I say, I don't really care for what have you done, but apparently these idiots do, some of these people hate you even more than the Simpsons and these idiots are able to put two and two together when I say that they will join the Burns 6'' Frank Grimes Jr. responded back defending itself.
''Pshh, what could I have done that these suckers hate me more than the man that got a dome put on city?'' Burns said in a questioning tone.
''Well, when I tried going for normal people, some of them said that their finances have gone a lot better since apparently the electric and water bills are actually affordable now under the administration of Abe Simpson, just how much were you billing them?, there is also that almost everyone still hate you for the time you were trying to block the sun, without counting a lot of other stuff you did to get a teddy bear back'' Frank Grimes Jr. said .
''Bah, bunch of ingrates they should feel proud they were recieving Burns patented electricity and water, so of course I would bill them like 400 dollars per month to get my gifts, but still damn that blasted ball of fire on the sky, it is still continues to be my worst enemy, as for that last thing, I would do it again if it was to get back Bobo''.
''... Okay, fine I won't question that, then I went to the piers, those stupid sailors almost beat me with every single fishing equipment they could get their hands on once I mentioned even part of your name, the reason? apparently you almost drove them out of bussiness with a plant called Little Lisa Recycling Plant, caused a lot of local fish species to get under new laws because of how much fishes that plant trapped and didn't stop when you sold it to a fish stick company and then they started naming a lot of the trash you threw into the water mutating the fishes, apparently a lot of workers lost their lives to the more violent ones, without counting the sickness caused by the more capturable ones'' Frank continued.
''Bunch of pansies, fine let those fools follow their so called moral codes and morals, they are a bunch of cowards besides if they cannot deal with a 3 eyed fish'' Burns threw his hands into the air.
''Same could be said about the agricultural sector, I had to escape those hillbilies and country people with torches and pitchforks, because apparently once again, you made them lose years of hard work and killed a lot of their farms because you started dumping nuclear waste on the areas close by, hell I passed by a cementery literally dedicated to livestock lost because of that and it had the words ''To our comrades, once we get our hands on that snake you will finally be able to rest'''' Grimes Jr. continued his story as he put in quotations the words engraved on the cementery.
''Bunch of sentimental fools, you can't expect anything better from a bunch of nature loving hippies like that loathsome Mona Simpson'' Burns said with venom in his voice.
''Don't even get me started on the taverns, apparently you cutting the beer supply for a time to get back a teddy bear didn't net you any positive points with the bartenders and drunkards, hell a fatass in an orange shirt even attacked me once he heard your name, I was lucky the man was obviously drunk off his ass that I was able to escape'' Frank said his experience recruiting in taverns.
''Blast those poisoned minds, so not even the temptation of their brevage will dissuade them to our side'' Burns said clearly starting to lose his patience at this point.
''I even checked the school, I know their kids are not well liked there, but when I spied on the principal I just retreated as far as I could, he was obviously practicing his punching with one of those inflatable clowns, the thing is that said clown had a photo of your face put in there, there was also a target with some darts with the same photo, I overheard some of the teachers saying something about an oil well'' Frank continued.
''That oil was mine by all rights I tell you, that damn school just helped me find where I needed to poke'' Burns said with rage in his voice.
''At that point I didn't even bother with the retirement castle, it is obvious that whatever enemies the simpsons have made you made a lot more'' Frank finished his report.
''Grrr fine let those fools think whatever of me, once we get the reward from capturing that stupid clown we will be able to get a lot more workforce for the Burns 6 to have their revenge, HAHAHAHAHAHA'' Mr Burns said as he started laughing like a maniac.
But at the mention of those words they heard the door open.
They worried they had been discovered once again, but they were relieved that it was instead their associate Sideshow Bob.
For the first 10 seconds thats it, then they saw how he had come into their view.
He was covered in pie dough, was obviously injurerd and if one looked right his middle of his face was red, almost as if it was hit by the stick of a rake.
But the men seeing him didn't care for that.
No the important part was that there was no clown in sight.
''Hello gentleman, if you don't mind I will get myself a shower, some first aids and then to bed'' Sideshow Bob said as he walked pass his associates only to be stopped by the feeble hands of Mr. Burns.
Well the key word would be tried, Bob probably just saw the oldman to face to avoid questions later.
''Where is the clown?'' Burns said in a low and threatening voice.
Bob just sighed ''Fine, I didn't get the stupid clown, not only where there other people looking for him, but also that damn clown was ready to go to war with every single one of us, that bastard was waiting for us and he gave us the most sugary battle one could ever imagine, he managed to take down almost every single one of the people that was looking for him and even knocked us out, I was able to recover my consciousness fairly quickly due to being able to wristand said assault due to years of abuse to the same tactics, but I couldn't risk to take the clown considering one last person arrived at the location, I may have been able to take on that idiot if I was prepared, but by lucifers beard I wasn't going to test my chances againts Syndrome itself, so bad news we will not get the reward, neutral news no one else does, at the end I got away after Syndrome went probably back to his territory with the clown hanging'' Sideshow Bob said his part of the story.
Burns of course was boiling with rage at that ''YOU, YOU FOOL, I GIVE YOU ONE SIMPLE TASK TO CAPTURE ONE MEASLY, WEAK STUPID CLOWN AND YOU MESS IT UP, SMITHERS PUNCH THIS JESTER AS A SIGN OF WHAT HAPPENS TO FAILURES''.
''Yes sir'' Smithers said in his usual tone preparing a fist to punch Sideshow Bob, just for the later to catch said fist and put up a knife close to Smithers throat.
Frank Grimes Jr and Burns stood there quiet as Bob laughed in a sinister tone ''Now, now gentleman we don't need to appeal to violence between associates, but it looks like I need to put up some boundaries, sure I may be indebted to you gentlemen as you broke me out of prison and promised me a plane to italy to get back to my family after I get my revenge on the boy, but that doesn't mean I will stand for any transgressions to my persona, so you better listen well my squadra, you are all just a means to an end for me and if I see you all being more of a con that could be detrimental for my own plans I could very well leave all of you to rot, I am a smart man after all and I know when to cut my losses, so lets make sure we don't reach that point, otherwise who knows I may add more names to my list other than the boy and those blasted rakes, capiamo?'' Sideshow Bob said as he made Smithers get closer cutting up a little of his cheek letting the knife get some blood.
At that the 3 men just nodded as Bob finally let go of Smithers ''Glad we understand each other gentlemen, as I said, I haven't suffered an humillation like this in years, so I don't want anyone bothering me while I shower''.
As the former sideshow went out of view of the 3 men, Burns gears started turning in his head.
Blast it all, it was obvious things weren't working out so far, he wasn't able to recruit anyone else so far for their revenge, they just lost a reward that would have put him in power once again to get back at that blasted Abe Simpson and it was obvious he needed to play his cards better if he wanted to keep that jester still eating out of his palm.
At least he is sure no more misfortunes will be thrown his way.
Later that week his words wouldn't be heard, in fact they would be spitten out like a cat spits a furball.
''Hello everyone this is Kent Brockman reporting our latests news, for our first headline, conspirancy within progress, this afternoon the police was called to the Springfield Nuclear Plant to arrest what apparently was a bunch of people involved on a plan to take down the actual owner of the plant Abe Simpson, what is more surprisingly was the capture of the head honcho of said conspirancy and to the surprise of many it was revealed that the leader was none other than Lucille Botscowski alias the Babysitter Bandit, will she be able to be finally put behind bars or will she get out scott free like many times? Channel 6 will closely follow up on the events alongside the trial that will decide her fate, from our intel we have gathered the police will be charging miss Botscowski with conspirancy that attempts againts our fair city, theft of equipment of the plant alongside an assorted bunch of objects and company secrets theft'' the Reporter said obviously enjoying the coverage of the news.
Burns wanted to scream to the heavens with his weakened lungs, but he didn't have any strenght left so he ordered Smithers to do it for him.
His only solace was that the prison was made of paper mache so it would be easy to break Botscowski out of it.
Truly fate will not throw another misfortune his way.
''On other news, a new iron castle, due to the recents events that happened at Kamp Krusty, it led to the arrest and judgement of an entire counterfeit operation, with the headhonchos of said operation being given a good time they will not be able to see the outside, those being Mr Black a former bussiness man that with the discovering of recent events will be lucky to ever get out of that place, a man named Whiteman, a former military who was asssigned to discipline any missbehaving children and has obviously been mutated and finally the head of the camp being one man named Gill Moss a fishman cape looked by various states for assorted crimes, due to the strenght of the later a generous incentive was given to springfield prison to get a total makeover to keep these last two guys behind bars after what they did to our kids and boy let me tell you it is a very pretty makeover that will ensure justice is kept within this town in this humble reporter opinion, now we go with Arnie Pye in the Channel 6 helicopter to get a better view of the new prison'' Kent said.
''Arnie Pye here and man Kent you couldn't be more accurate on said makeover, instead of the revolving door that was once the Springfield Prison, now we can proudly say we have an indestructible iron castle to make sure the worst this town has to offer is kept inside for a good time'' Arnie said as he shows the new prison, what was once the easiest prison to get out in all of the country, was now something that required active effort to break out.
At that point Burns was just tired and told Smithers to continue screaming in anger for at least an hour, as the oldman simply cursed lady luck for this bad hand.
Boy this took a while to writte, tbh while the simpsons may be hated within springfield for some o f their shenanigans, they don't reach the sheer amout of hatred people feel for Burns and all the misery he has caused them over the years, agriculture and fishing sector hates his guts for all the hard work he has sent down the trash due to Burns uncaring nature.
As mentioned he owned both the power and water supplies and probably billed the entire city for almost their entire paycheck, thing that probaably changed once we got in charge, without counting the stuff he did like block the sun and his entire shenanigans to get Bobo back.
The oil rig on who shot mister burns pretty much earned him the ire of the entire town and many were willing to kill him there, as I said I doubt principal skinner has forgotten about said oil rig being lost to burns.
Then he gets worse news with the capture of birthday bandit, of course being his usual self he gets mad at the man he sent to get a stupid clown for not doing his job right in his mind after all it was just a stupid clown.
Then Bob puts in perspective that his team may not be as united as he thinks, these guys are united for revenge againts the simpsonss, but even then they won't take shit for burns, Bob especially has a lot of ego, which got bruised as he got humillated in ways he hadn't been in years ever since he was with Krusty, so of course he won't be taking any shit from Burns.
Then the cherry on top Botscowski being captured and the prison being upgraded.
The old snake isn't having a good week which is good.
Yeah I guess just one of them is good enough for now since Jasper have very low stats and is somewhat risky to use him in critic time project such as this to buy either Krusty or Itchy and Scratch since Abe and Jasper only has a 8 on these stats.
Like I said before, if we sacrifice the kaiser personal action we can use his full bonus instead of Abe's. That would mean the dc for Jasper to buy Krusty is effectively 35-5-20-7 = 2.
Like I said before, if we sacrifice the kaiser personal action we can use his full bonus instead of Abe's. That would mean the dc for Jasper to buy Krusty is effectively 35-5-20-7 = 2.
And what if we want to assign Wilhelm to something? Like, for example, attacking Burns' Base? If it's still available I consider it very likely that we'll want to do exactly that.
