Here's a cool idea. When the other Kings eventuality get around to asking us what our goals are with publicly taking over the Tri-state Area and declaring our Megacorp as Evil incorporated is I have the perfect response. "What is evil but the opposite of good. Take a good hard look at the world around you. Politicians bought off in droves, the common man unable to make ends meet knowing they will never be able to retire, medical care overinflated to the point of madness. All in the name of a quick easy buck. And yet somehow all of this is GOOD according to our national government. If one is opposed to the way things are what recourse does the modern man have. The system for legally challenging the status quo is as nightmare. So if one can not challenge the system legally and hope to win than that just leaves illegally challenging the system. Making myself the undisputed ruler of the Tri-state area was just the beginning. By the end my land will be free to all who come here toon, super, or normal person alike. With access to all the things they should have been provided for years. No one will want to live in America anymore when Doofania offers a better standard of living without having to take a plane overseas or learn a new language. I do all this in knowledge that it flys contrary to what you have determined to be good. Therefore I, my company, and my land must be EVIL!"

I like the idea, but that sounds way too, for lack of a better word, articulate for Dr. Doofenshmirtz. It doesn't really sound like something he would say, or at least not the way he would say it.

It's load of bullshit.
 
The Thin Red Line of Courage
The Thin RED Line of Courage, AKA How To Act like an Idiot and Never Get Caught

"Have a nice night "Chief" Bonkers" my sarcastic secretary Barbera says before locking up.
"Good night to you too Barbs!"
I say before I hear the door close. Alone with my thoughts at last I mutter under my breath, "Hopefully Negaduck gets you on the way back."
Sometimes it is hard to keep the pretense up of a likeable goofball all day but then I think of the joke I am playing on the whole department. It brings a smile to my face. Did they really think I would never read the documents I am forced to rubber stamp. Or be able to read the mood at work and see which way the wind blows. Thank god both Lucky and Miranda got promoted so they would never have to see what this precinct has become.

After making several copies of all the new legislation I close up for the night. Now the real work begins. Making sure I am not followed I head on down to the old Ink and Paint club. Knocking on the door the grill is slid open and I am asked "Penny for your thoughts?"
To which I reply "I would prefer a nickel if you have one?"
He responds "What good is s nickel?"
And I say "It let's you ride the Red Car."
Finally satisfied the gorilla steps out the way and says "Good evening Chief Bonkers."

One of the members looks up at me and asks what have I got for them this time. To respond I pull out the copied laws and hand them over. "Straight from the presses. These new laws are not scheduled to go into effect until next week. That should buy some time to warn everyone and let others know they need to lie low."

This is now my real job. Inside man for the Red Car. Everyone looks at me and sees a fool. What they should see is an actor who is used to time crunches. An actor who has a huge network of former fans he was never mean to who are happy to gossip with him. One of these days you are going to pay for making a mockery of the Police department Doom. And on that day I will openly laugh long and hard at the fate you so richly deserve. FOR TAKING MY FAUN AWAY FROM ME!

AN: Did you ever wonder why in the later season with Miranda Bonkers acted much more incompetent? In the first episode of the show we see him quickly read a script for that morning's performance. He also treated everyone on set from fan to guard with respect and courtesy. That creates networks of devoted followers and shows us he is attentive to his duties.

TL:DR. Bonkers almost has to be aware of what is going on even if he acts like he is too dumb to notice.

I'm sorry, but the all-bolded text and constant jumping between speakers mid-paragraph makes it very difficult for me to parse your omake. I want to give additional feedback but my brain is unable to connect the dots.
Second this, I though it was bolded because it was a News Headline and the host was really excited.
 
Sorry for the way the omake came out everyone. I was using a small phone with a tiny screen to write the omake and had thought I would just bold the header. By the time it was posted and I realized my mistake I was just glad I had not misspelled anything. Hopefully with a few tweaks it should be more readable now.

Let me see if I can fix that...

Literally every word of the piece below was written by @LaughingMad , of course. All I did was punctuation and paragraph structure.

So I was thinking and while we seemingly have at least a vague idea of what we want to do in the other areas we don't really have one for Stewardship

For me personally I think we should focus on buying out some of the smaller companies before our competition does, in my opinion the four we should buy in order of most to least important are Mendel-Grumman, Dinoco, McFist and Hopper Food Group

Whichever one is about to resurrect dinosaurs. Or Dinoco. Don't want what's their face to have a complete monopoly on the stuff after all.

That's Mendel-Grumman and Dinoco could be useful both to get Shere Kahn to want to meet with us, since he could potentially be a friend, and to give us an in with the automotive industry once we invent the flying car
 
Let's buy out Syndrome's insurance company right before the heist to rub salt in the wound.

That sounds goodish. On the other hand, we might want to take that "you may now double up on Stewardship options" option. It involves AI so it may be significantly easier this turn, and it'd simplify matters a good deal.

For reference, our heroes in Stewardship as of this writing, whose bonuses apply over and above Doof's natural +24.

Hego, 18
Goofy, 16, +7 bonus unlikely to apply to this situation
Major Monogram + Karl, 14
TECHNOR!, 12 (factoring in the malus for power demands)
Agent Russ, 10
L.O.V.E.M.U.F.F.I.N, 8 (utterly wasted here because free Learning action)
Norm Prime, 6
Wile E. Coyote, 4
Dennis the Duck, 3
Genghis Khan, 2 (probably going to increase sharply as he learns English)

Let's buy out Syndrome's insurance company right before the heist to rub salt in the wound.
I don't know if we can.

That's a slippery slope, given how that's primarily a licensing outfit.

I mean that's a backdoor for inserting the LucasArts catalog.

Where does it end. . .
Where the QM damn well pleases, where else? The slide down the slippery slope is halted by a fence put there by the QM, made out of solid planks of This Wouldn't Be Fun wood.

But it comes down to is: do you want us to be able to clone a dinosaur steed for Genghis Khan, or not?

Really, it ends when the QM says "okay that's enough".

On the 2008 Turok, the actual game was pretty eh. They neglected the cool parts of Turok in exchange for making it a lame Jurassic Park/Aliens ripoff. MG was ripped from there without the context of space marines being a thing just so you have a vector for cloning dinosaurs in this quest. Wouldn't overthink it.

As for Disney Interactive as a whole, they've been a great help with my own campaign and this quest. I take it you missed the reference to Split/Second earlier in MiH's posts?
 
I mean if LucasArts is on the Table, I'd rather have Speederbikes. . .

I mean, even if SW happened in this timeline, it would have taken place multiple millenniums ago, and would have taken place in a far, far away galaxy. And, if we do go to space, the QM might also use the DVV Space addon as well, meaning that we'll be too busy dealing with stuff in this galaxy anyway.

I must have missed it. To be fair I got some pretty bad news this weekend so I've been a little distracted.

Though I did just have a thought. Are theme park attractions part of the quest? If so Is there a mansion somewhere in the South that is full of ghosts? What about the Dino Institute and practical time travel?

Actually that's the action for a second Diplomacy option, the Stewardship one is just hiring new managers and executives to streamline the business so I not think we'll have any reduced DC for it

I'm also hoping that whatever new hero we recruit, hopefully Mirage, will have good Stewardship so we can have them do some of the heavy lifting rather than Hego
