A Hellfish flys again! ( a Simpsons X DVV CK2 Quest)

Reader mode
I had no illusions that Burns was going to go down this turn, even if he didn't roll a 95 and get Francine, I didn't expect we'd catch him in this event.

And I say that because hinging your bets on getting him in the assault is a big assumption.

He have gotten away, but at least we gave him a good hit so he won't be after us for a few turns.

But we'll definitely need to send Tony and his mafia to start a manhunt on Burns.
 
Current Idea for Blackmail Demands
1) Assistance in the apprehension of Charles Montgomery Burns and his associates (This one I figure is a slam dunk considering all of what burns has done.)
2) Clear our record and the records of all of our employees (Mona included, I don't know what everyone has done but I figure Moe has done something.)
3) 6 Income to be used on improvements to Springfield AND assistance in implementing these improvements. (Wanna see if we can't add government Stewardship to our rolls and see what heroes they got on payroll)

This plan is cleared by some of the QM's, though the government may negotiate with us and it'd end up being a diplomacy roll. I have also been advised that they will not revoke Missouri's statehood, so not even bringing that to the table.
 
Another thing approved by the QMs, we can do a big party next turn at the plant. It'd be a Stewardship action, but I honestly think it'd be worth the action econ loss just to get more Opinion Boosts, chat with our workers, and see some funny character interactions.

Let's see if we can get Bart's record clear too. Long as we're asking.

I don't know man I kinda want to save this for a rainy day, it's kinda doubtful we will come come across another type of blackmail against the government any time soon, specially from this level since it can't get any worse then try to starve a American town and blow them up. So using to help in apprehend Burns kinda is a bit of wasteful.
 
Hey quick question: what if we just revealed the blackmail material... as an alias?

Something not traceble back at us.

That way, we *technically* didn't reveal the blackmail, so the Government *shouldn't* be able to do anything to us.

But then, who do we use as a scapegoat?

When I asked the QMs using my omake question "what is something we are missing" I was given the answer "people only let you have blackmail on them for so long, governments even more so."

There is a time limit on the blackmail and I wanna get what we can from it. Plus, is it really wasting it if we get rid of our only real foe?

Yeah but Burns is just a annoyance that can be handled taking the proper steps I think it would be better to force the Feds to give us unlimited access to the Wasteland or something, since I think we going have to avoid government patrols to reach the site and make them give, in writing contract and everything, a apology for the city of Springfield for the Dome mess, since they are yet to apology for that thing so if they want to keep us quiet they going have to assume responsability.

It sounds a bit crass asking for a bribe since is not like we are scrapping for money but also clear the criminal record for all Hero Units for any past transgression.

Technically they opened the door on bribing us to get the blackmail back; they were willing to offer 10 income+covering the costs of rebuilding Springfield in exchange for the blackmail (which was 4 income I believe) once upon a time after all. So in a way it actually costs them less to take the aforementioned deal than it would have had we taken the original deal!

How about also a formal apology to Springfield for almost blowing it up to list of demands
 
I know folks are upset but honestly this is still a pretty major win as far as we should be concerned. Yes Burns got away to snivel another day, no this is very much not unexpected...at least personally. Guy is Abes Arch Villain, did you really think anything less than insane luck or far more prep than we've put in would guarantee a total victory?

We've put some major hurt on Burns and his operations, put a solid hand on the scales for several of the Simpsons personal enemies, and will have time to properly prepare.
