Part of me still wondering if we should expect any trouble from Doof or not. I mean at start of Doofwuest had a thing against Shego for stealing some of his righfull "TRI state area" territory would we fall under same category?

We are barely a blip on the radar we ain't a king as they call themselves but on the other hand doof is incredibly petty so at best I can say hopefully not.

Probably not - as a...*Zero-tier Prince*, was it?- we don´t really "hold any land" beyond some nominal control over Springfield itself.
Plus, we are situated kinda awkwardly at the junction of DEI, Drakktech and Wasteland "turfs", so if things get hot, we can just "smudge" his mental maps a bit and say that we live *outside* "his" Tri-State Area - either that or, in case we prefer playing second fiddle to a King to Ascending the Throne ourselves, we just (nominally) "swear fealty" to Doof to get him off our backs and enjoy his protection from other Kings.
At the moment, we're really just... a power plant, so Doof doesn't have any real reason to see us as someone taking territory from him.
At best, we're living in his area with some control over it, but 'less' than him. (He doesn't actually have any control, but that's not our problem, and he's convinced he is the one in control.)
And if push comes to shove, we can just say 'Well it's not like we can move Springfield', and then end up getting moved via an inator just so Doof can prove us wrong.

...us daring him to build some kind of "Move-Springfield-off-my-land-Inator" might actually be another vaild way of action, now that I think about it.
But lets just wait and look how the neighboring "fiefdoms" are doing and what their specific positions in this quest are, okay?
For the time being neither Doof or Shego knows that we exist because we are, quite frankly, utterly insignificant in the grand scheme of things. That will of course change if we manage to keep succeeding at various actions and grow big enough to be worth noticing, but for now we should simply enjoy the shroud of anonymity that we possess while we can.
'Giving Doof adequate reason to make an Inator that deals with it is' honestly a good move for a lot of things.
The man is practically magic with them, and the only reason he isn't way more powerful in Doofquest is because they hard to nerf him via having random ones.
It also runs the risk of him making things worse.
In that respect, he's kind of like the Fae, in that getting his help is a gamble where the outcome will never be clear.

Hmm a thought occur admittedly a dark one but still.
If ol Abe Simpson bites the big one does that mean quest over or we get new mc in form of Homer, Flanders, etc?
This question is inspired by the Syndrome nega quest omakes on Doofquest. As well as the fact let's face it this setting can be and is deadly and Abe while not to be underestimated lie any Simpson especially with his experience isn't in his prime plus with the other powers in play.
Him actually dying sooner or later especially as the risks raise could happen. So thoughts?
OH! And on another subject time getting messed up in VV could actually explain a lot about Springfield with decades having passed and no one aging but not noticing or realizing despite technology advancing and having gone through number of presidents.

Another thing that caught my fancy:
During that memetic scene where Abe visits the burlesque house, he orders a "Whiskey Sour" for a drink:
Whiskey sour - Wikipedia
Aside from looking not half bad as a cocktail, whiskey sour - as befitting the name - also contains *lemon* juice as an ingredient.
Springfield *just so happens* to be moderately famous for a particularly sour species of lemons.
Since people already had the idea of marketing those lemons nation-wide, why not strive to do a collab with some whiskey manufacturer´s for "Old Abe´s Whiskey Sour - made from genuine Springfield lemons"
A bit of a hokey sales pitch, but still an idea I wanted to offer.

Thanks - to complement that whiskey collab, we also could market our Lemons as "Old Abe´s Springfield Lemons - putting the `sour´ in `Whiskey Sour´"
Either both together or one of them - I am not that picky.
Can confirm that whiskey sours are delicious. Seems like a solid idea once we get access to the lemon farm action that was mentioned.

Honestly, once we look at the portfolio of ideas kickstarted by Abe alone - with Wiskey Sour collabs, a possible investment in La Maison Derriere as well as marketing his "Revitalizing Tonicum" - I am starting to think that we might have a solid chance to become a Player with quite some stakes in the Nightlife side of things. Add to that us maybe inheriting Burns´casino as well and maybe grabbing the Aztec cinema to round up things a bit more family-friendly and that idea doesn´t seem so far-fetched anymore.
Sure, the tomaccos don´t really fit into things and "Nightlife" won´t be our only pillar, but it´s still an amusing thought of freaking Abe Simpson being a bigshot in fun stuff after dark...

Honestly going for more underground options could be a way to go, in the future.
To start rising up in this setting we'll need a way to resist a King just taking us over. That can be done through plain economic strength, making our company big and unique enough and take over some niche left unfilled until it'll be more effort than it's worth to take us down/in.
But there's also the option of going the stealthy route, we don't have a lot of Intrigue strength, at the moment, besides Fat Tony. But him and his mob could be an in towards more subtle activities, and letting us expand in power and influence with less risks than going loud and proud. Sure we'll run into other mobs, some in a King's pocket, and some not, but it seems like a route less likely to run into a King besides Bill Sykes or the Yokai. Both on the coasts of the country. Shego is busy managing a company and race war, Toffee is busy hunting for a single individual and fighting an actual war, and Doof probably doesn't care. That's a potential vacuum for us to slot into.
TLDR: do standard company stuff, or gp subtle to avoid takeovers.
There's also the option of allowing us to be taken over by a King and then subvert it from the inside.

Syndrome replied with several posts full of laughing and condescending words. He claimed that those smiling buckets of screws were one of the most basic things he had ever seen and dared Doofenshmirtz to do something better.
Doof took that challenge somewhat personally from what you were able to see.
Just a few days ago, Doof proclaimed in social media that his Normbots are "better than ever!"...and it shows. New and upgraded models of those robots can be seen patrolling the streets. Doof released some schematics as well as some videos showcasing the abilities of his new models.
And if Frinks excited and labored breathing are anything to go by at seeing those things in action, those robots are the real deal.

Doofenshmirtz has been very active on social media apparently. According to your reports, for several months now he has been sending lots of messages to that green lady about giving him the "Final piece of Doofania". So far Shego had been just ignoring those messages. That changed a while ago when on one occasion she answered back one of the posts, asking for even one reason why she should humor him. After posting that, the pharmacist went silent for a bit, not answering or posting anything, according to other posters, that seemed like a red flag.
No one was expecting when the guy suddenly broke his silence…by posting a musical video! It was named: "10 REASONS WHY I SHOULD HAVE THAT TERRITORY AND LET DOOFANIA PROSPER!". Though the name was excessively wrong, no one can deny it was quite catchy. The song, special effects and choreography used were simply jaw-dropping!
The craziest thing was that people loved it! There's been some big support for this. #LetDoofBeKing has been making big waves. People really liked the promises Doofenshmirtz seemed to make in his song, of which there were some like: #3) All Vending machines will be decommissioned and made so whatever they sold is free to take. And #5) All citizens of Doofania will have free Doonkelberry cake for dessert every day.
So far, Shego hasn't posted anything on social media since the video was released. Who knows what will happen next?

Lobby Against the SRA DC 70
Result: ???+??? = Bare Failure!
Apparently, Super powered beings are heavily regulated by a government decree known as the Superhero Relocation Act, or SRA for short. This has lead to most of them going into hiding or being arrested.
It seems Shego doesn't like this. From what you can gather from research (and a few choice tweets), she believes the SRA is "a bunch of crap whiny beauracrates thought up to make themselves feel better". A bit harsh, but you aren't exactly going to go against someone making fun of the government.
So, Shego sent her top man, One Monte Fisk (better known as Monkey Fist) in her stead to lobby against the SRA on her behalf.
He gave an impassioned speech (made all the more impressive by him having to keep some monkey ninjas on task not causing chaos through some of it) and quite a few politicians seemed on his side, but after hours of serious discussion, very little changed. Though you wouldn't be surprised if this opened people's eyes to a double check on the SRA in the future…

Now, these are all rumors of course, but It seems pretty obvious who would be most willing to give these fellows the equipment and money needed to be bigger threats.
And bigger threats they are! These newfound Supervillains are robbing banks, committing mass destruction, and even jaywalking! One Chief Cruz has called it "The worst crime spree since before that Dastardly Big Hero 6 was sent packing."

The public applauds, but critics and fans alike are left wondering how many of syndromes current problems could have been avoided if they were released sooner.

With his tech and experience it almost seemed too easy as he plowed through villain after villain. So far it seemed things were going well…until they took an unexpected turn.
In a surprising twist of events, Syndrome was defeated by…The Birthday Bandit?!
Apparently, Syndrome managed to catch that clown wannabe when he crashed a little kid's party. Syndrome, being the hero he is, intervened to stop that dastardly plan. A curb stomp battle ensued and within moments, all of the clown henchmen were defeated, with the Birthday Bandit seeming to follow the same steps of his henchmen.
Unfortunately, a moment of distraction from Syndrome was all it took for the villain to turn the tables. While Syndrome was busy addressing a news helicopter that flew close by, the Bandit was able to throw the birthday cake that landed perfectly in the tech Hero's face. Disoriented, because of that sugary food, Syndrome flew wildly, until he flew too close to the helicopter and his cape got stuck in the propellers.
…Let's just say that the aftermath of that wasn't pretty. Limbs aren't meant to be bent that way!!!
So far, no news has been given about Syndrome's condition, except that he has gotten out of surgery and is making a steady recovery.

Springfield citizens:
Attempt to fix the city: South Springfield.
DC: 25
Result: 30: Bare success!
The rest of the citizens of Springfield haven't been idle either. They managed to pool their resources together to attempt to fix the south section. Thank God for that, that place was really a fixer-upper.
It took a while, there were some organization issues as well as the usual shenanigans that occur here, but by the end of the month, South Springfield was back in action!
Result: Another section of the city fixed! Dc to fix all the districts at once has been lowered!
Random Event Roll: 92
Captain McCallister came earlier today to thank you for fixing the docks. With that some trade business can properly begin again, he says. Not only that but he also gives you a locket, he said he found it alongside a hidden treasure chest when they fixed the dock, just washed ashore. He told you that's your part of the bounty for making it possible. He also offered his services for whenever you needed a boat, for whatever reasons.
Reward: found a mysterious locket, is it really elegant and you get a weird feeling when holding it! The Sea Captain offers his boat and docks for whatever holds your fancy! Action related to trade in the docks and for the ocean unlocked!
…there's also one more thing, though…
Continued in… Turn 2!

I think getting stronger than the Kings is going to be a little harder than we thought.
(Also, Syndrome gets the first crit fail of the quest, as it should be.)

Doof did very well this turn, but I'm sure it won't be a problem.
Shego was average.
Common Syndrome L.
Still am Extremely worried about Leviathan Corp.
It's a good day when we have a high RER, maybe it's another Occult item, or very radioactive material! Either way, superpowers. The docks thing is a great bonus.

Looks like we have Fat Tony's first job.
Well that's great. Nice to see we're not the only ones trying to fix the town.
Alright so to summarize:
- Andrias for some unknown reason, has bought an animation studio.
- Doofenshmirtz is doing rather well with the Doofania project.
- Shego has unleashed a crime spree in America, and one of her major rivals has suffered a major setback.
- Syndrome has been gravely wounded, and his weapons factories are out of commission.
- Burns is plotting something.
- Someone has released Sideshow Bob, and judging by his wiki page. He will soon attempt to murder Bart Simpson. Perhaps Burns had a hand in it.
