I think it would be wisest to simply see what sort of OS actions we get next turn, then decide. If we still only have "upgrade DoofOS", then we'll take it. If we also have " build new LOVEMUFFIN-free OS", then we'll just discuss and try to do a fair comparison. Either way, we need to do something.

I would say lets Kitsune do her thing, but sadly this thing:
Exist, and she has one of the highest Diplomacy (Goofy too, but I want to start the college thing this next turn)

I am deeply offended by this. When has Heinz "Petty Vengeance" Doofenshmirtz ever been constrained by the legality of something when contemplating petty vengeance? Now where's that old Poop-inator?
Well, logically speaking, if Alan was playong fast-and-loose with the firewall and we set him on making a new OS and scrapping the old, he'll port over those programs.

...huh, I just thought of something. Is it possible that Alan said he was at fault for the firewall being down because he couldn't fix the problem, instead of because he took it down? Like, "I couldn't fix this, so it's my fault it got worse"?

Typical, it's always something with these people. Anybody else wanna bite the bullet and spend an action to-
STEAL THE HOOVER DAMN, PLACE IT IN THE MOST TOXIC, UNINHABITABLE ZONE IN THE WASTELAND, AND SHOVE THESE BUFFONS SO FAR INTO THE BOTTOM OF IT THAT THEY SPEND THE REST OF THEIR DAYS PLAYING GO-FISH WITH TEAMO FREAKING SUPREMO

So should we rebrand DoofOs or make another model from scratch with Alan? Or should we make a firewall or an antivirus security system named Perry.EXE or something?
Also I'm kind of worry about the love muffin's loyalty right now with this hit from the Waddle. Should we let them go?

"Janna the Teenage Girl!" Doofenschmirtz says, popping out from behind the Doofenschmirtz Evil Employee Lounge's Doofenschmirtz Evil Refrigerator. "I need your help!"
"GAH!" Felldrake says, momentarily summoning a plague of locusts before collecting himself. "...is what I would say. If I were startled."
"Oh, hey, D," Janna says, looking up from her phone, "Neat trick. Secret passage, new Inator, or were you just, like, raised by cave art for a year and you've secretly been able to go Flat Stanley all along?"
"Actually, it was polar bears, and they taught me how to survive extremely cold temperatures, and, and also alternative tongue-cleaning techniques? Yeah, the ocelots were less good at that kind of thing than you think they'd be, but we're getting off topic!" Doofenschmirtz makes a sweeping arm gesture. Janna, obligingly, moves Felldrake to "duck", pun not intended. "There's a new and much more recent tragic backstory in town, and like most of my recent tragic backstories, it involves the internet!"
"You have got to let the Knowsmore Incident go, my dude," Janna says, sounding genuinely concerned.
"Doesn't 'knows more' than me," Doofenschmirtz grumbles. "Anyway, uh ...this is a little difficult for me to talk about. You're, uh, you're on the internet, right?"
"Yep."
"You're tech-savvy? Down with the techno-goth teen crowd? Hangin' ten on the World Wide Web? Y-y-you're hip to the HTTP jive, and cool with the, whatchamacalit, the lolcats?"
"Not only do I know the difference between LOL and ROFLCOPTOR, but I also can haz cheezburger."
"Memes?"
"Memes."
"I hate ... everything about this conversation," Felldrake breaks in.
Doofenschmirtz. "So that means you've seen it."
"Seen what?" Janna asks. "Please, describe what I am supposed to have seen. In excruciating detail."
"I will ground you, young lady."
"Weird threat, but okay," Janna winces. "Yyyyyyeah, not gonna lie? It's a bloodbath. Your blood." She scrolls through her feed for a moment before turning her phone so Doofenschmirtz can see. "Honestly, even I think some of these people are going too far."
On screen: Doofenschmirtz's "I am a superstar!" toilet-crashing video. Only, it's been edited, so Doofenschmirtz's face is replaced with the DoofOS logo. And instead of saying "I am a superstar," Text-to-speech is used to make him say "I am a functioning OS!"And instead of losing his balance on his own, 'DoofOS' is tripped by Mark Beak's face, with sunglasses, labeled 'Deal with It'. And a DoofOS-styled error message pops up in the corner of the screen as it happens. And the toilet is labeled "Still a Toilet, Actually."
"That's not even clever," Doofenschmirtz says.
"Fireballs to the face usually aren't," Felldrake opines. "But they work."
"And you're the one getting burned," Janna goes the extra mile, leaving a Thumbs Down on the video. "Meanwhile, I'm not exactly the nursing type. I can only assume you'd come to me for ..."
"Revenge schemes, yes."
"I'm listening."
Doofenschmirtz breathes in heavily, before placing his hands on Janna's shoulders. "Teach me how to use irony."
Somewhere in Doofania, Vanessa stops in her tracks and lies down for a few minutes. She doesn't know why.

Schadenfreude
"Well Breaks," Doofenshmirtz asked the grey parrot standing in front of him. "What do you think?"
"What do you think you're doing?" Mark Beaks asked the diseased lunatic. "I'll ruin you for this Doofenshmirtz!"
"No, I don't think you will." Doof said with a grin. "You wanted to play with the big boys didn't you? Well, I'm coming at you like one, and you just lost."
I must admit, your parlor tricks are amusing
I bet you've got a bunny under your hat!
I bet you've got a bunny under your hat!
Doof took a step closer to the bird, who took a trembling step backwards.
Now here's your chance to get the best of me
Hope your hand is hot!
Hope your hand is hot!
Beaks called for security, but only got static from the other end, he was cut off entirely.
C'mon, clown! Let's see what you've got!
He turned and fled from the office, Doof's words seeming to follow him as he ran.
You can try to slam me with your hardest stuff
But your double whammy isn't up to snuff
I'll set the record straight, you're simply out of date
You're only second rate!
But your double whammy isn't up to snuff

Doof seemed to be around every corner Beaks rounded, holding a variety of devices and Inators at the ready to use on him as he continued to flee.
You think your cat's a meanie, but your tiger's tame
You've got a lot to learn about this Kingly game
So for your education, I'll reiterate
You're only second rate!
The door slams behind him as he enters one room, and he quickly slips and falls onto a table that he is strapped down onto by Doofenshmirtz who somehow followed him inside.You've got a lot to learn about this Kingly game
So for your education, I'll reiterate
You're only second rate!
Men cower at the power in my pinky
My thumb is number one on every list
But if you're not convinced that I'm invincible
Put me to the test!
My thumb is number one on every list
But if you're not convinced that I'm invincible
Put me to the test!
A large Inator is wheeled into the room by shadowy figures that Beaks can't quite make out.
I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest!
Doof activates a remote that he pulled out of hs lab coat, activating the Inator and causing it to begin begin firing a laser that slowly begins making its way upward. Beaks is somehow able to get himself free and russes out of the room from the laughing doctor.
Go ahead and zap me with the big surprise
Snap me in a trap, cut me down to size
I'll make a great escape, it's just a piece of cake
You're only second rate!
Snap me in a trap, cut me down to size

What he found when he fled wasn't his corporate headquarters, instead he found a bizarre and unnatural landscape where Doof seemed to everywhere at once, slowly making his way to the terrified bird as he continued to flee.
You know, your hocus-pocus isn't tough enough
And your mumbo-jumbo doesn't measure up
Let me pontificate upon your sorry state
You're only second rate!
Every time he thinks he might have gotten away from the doctor he finds him waiting for him the moment he turns his head, and in increasingly more unusual states, becoming more and more threatening as he went on.And your mumbo-jumbo doesn't measure up
Let me pontificate upon your sorry state
You're only second rate!
Zaba-caba-dabra!
Granny's gonna grab ya!
Alakazam-da-mus
And this thing's bigger than the both of us!
From over a shifting hillside came a towering version of the doctor that stood as tall as a building, one who looked down at Beaks before grinning like a madman and reaching down to pick up the exhausted bird.Granny's gonna grab ya!
Alakazam-da-mus
And this thing's bigger than the both of us!
So spare me your tremendous scare!
You look horrendous in your underwear!
And I can hardly wait to discombobulate
You look horrendous in your underwear!
And I can hardly wait to discombobulate
As Beaks struggles to escape the giant Doof's grip he's slowly brought up to eye level, its grin only seeming to grow wider as his eyes seemed to shift and become... catlike?
I'll send ya back and packing in a shipping crate
You'll make a better living with a spinning plate
You're only second rate!
You'll make a better living with a spinning plate
You're only second rate!
Then he opened his eyes to find himself in the main entrance of his offices, wit a small crowd of his employees looking at him like he was a madman. What just happened?
As the confused and shamed bird tried to catch his bearings he missed the figure making her way out of the area, bearly containing her laughter. Kitsune grinned to herself, she was glad she took Doofenshmirtz's advice, this Beaks was just too much fun to mess with!
The song is You're only Second Rate from the direct to video Aladdin sequel. We need to start messing with this wannabe King, he's an embarrassment.

Behold!
- The In-Come-Inator! : One of your past evil schemes was an Evil Teleton, which, it didn't really work out, you were very confused, I mean, do people just not care about the cause of Evil anymore? But after deep contemplation, you finally figured out why your brilliant plan failed: It was through the TV! People can't be shamed into donating money if no one is there to silently stare at them with judgemental eyes, so you have decided to throw a Charity Gala instead! Since rich people like to pretend to care for the environment, you'll throw a Greevil Charity Gala Event, and you'll announce it everywhere so people will feel socially pressured into showing. How Evil is that?
Bonus: Receive a one-time bonus 7 Income that can only be used to fund Greevil-related projects
The Out-Go-Inator! : So. Apparently, there was a coding error with the robot assistant that you custom-built for the purpose of organizing the Gala because, I mean, who has time for planning these hoity-toity galas, you know? Coordinating drapery colours with spork dispositions or, or something. Sooo annoying. Well, to make a long story short, the invitations for your exclusive Gala event didn't actually go out, and you didn't really figure that out until the shindig was already underway. So now you're stuck paying for this expensive party even though nobody came, and you made a big deal about it so reporters showed up and filmed your lame party and now you're completely humiliated and this is like your birthdays back in Drusselstein all over again!
Malus: Lose 3 income paying for an overly-fancy party. Next turn, Doofenshmirtz must take at least one Evil-related National Action due to a sudden Traumatic Backstory-Induced Villainy Relapse

If nothing else, we could at least sue him for malicious advertising methods. After all, he doesn´t even *try* being sneaky about which "competitor" Waddle is supposed to be better than - He *Explicitly* calls DoofOS shit compared to his stuff, which has gotta breaks some laws about advertisement or at least copyright.
To use a RL example:
Anyone remember that Burger King ad where Ronald Mc Donald buys food from them and gets called out by name? Burger King had to take that one down pretty fast for copyright infringement and it wasn´t even that insulting in comparison to what Beaks just did. Additionally, He is only a Duke, but we are a King - time to throw our weight around *the right way*

That looks like it would create legal trouble because they are using another company's copyrighted character without permission not because of defamation.

Beaks still explicitly used our brand name (which by itself is protected by copyright) to make himself look good...it might not be *quite* as explicit as using our likeness (or that of our mascot/logo...does DoofOS/DEI even have its own mascot, @Made in Heaven ?), but it´s still a clear violation of copyright in my opinion,
- Location

As was pointed out earlier, and might have been a joke but we could still potentially use, he also used an insulting caricature of a Drusselsteinian to represent us, thereby using a racial stereotype to mock an immigrant and his business. He probably didn't intend it that way but...
- Location
- Germany
A bit of a shaky idea, since Drusselstein seems to be the international pariah in general with no one liking them and barely anyone aknowledging it as anything more than a shithole...but maybe still worth a try on top of the copyright stuff.

Brand names are protected by trademark not copyright. Using brand names isn't a violation of trademark unless you use them in a way that implies the trademark owner produced or endorsed something it did not. An explicit representation of DoofOS agreeing that people should move to Waddles seems pretty clearly be "putting words in our mouths" in a way that wouldn't be covered by copyright. There is a reason the old ads use "I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" instead of "I'm a Mac and I'm a Windows" even though everybody knows what it meant by "PC". Personal computer is a generic term, not a trademark.
That so it isn't really important. Beak could have released an attack ad that refers their competitor indirectly like a number of real ads. Doofus would be too close to the trademark but they could compare to an idiot OS. Perhaps have a slapstick routine caused by its own incompetence instead of doing the obvious and unfunny Doofus/DoofOS wordplay. Maybe have a slogan of "Smart tech for Smart People".

So you're saying... Beaks might have made a mistake that potently removes the ad's parody protection, and we could have a legitimate lawsuit? I don't know enough about copyright law to say anything but this does seem promising...

I admit to using these two terms pretty much interchangably.
My point still stands in that Beaks went too far and violated advertising laws, meaning that we could get back at him perfectly legally.
- Location
- Pennsylvania
Any possible legal loopholes that might exist come from our lack of understanding of copyright law rather than Mark Beaks'. You can safely assume that he's got an airtight case and a lawsuit would be a very intense and wasteful uphill battle.

Darn...whelp, back to less than fully legal means then. As my omake suggested I recommend having Kitsune do her thing, at least to get back at him in some way until we can get a better plan.
Edit: From a outside perspective in it Beaks called his security for something that wasn't there than began to run about the building screaming about how that one pharmacist he made fun of is there and going to kill him before screaming and passing out. If actually sending her could do even a fraction of that I'd be happy.
