I was trying to say you were right. Sorry if that didn't come across that way.
Apologies then. Everything is just getting to me. Quests are what I use to unwind from a lot of bad things happening lately and this constant string of defeats in everything I actually care about as a goal in this quest is really getting to me, especially given the previous thing I mentioned that I fear every failure could push us further to the thread giving up on the parts I like (like DoofOS or Doofania). I am self-admittedly very high-strung right now and I apologize if I came off as too vitriolic.
 
They try anything, we play the terrorist card. "They assaulted us and destroyed our property," we say. We also present the paperwork and lab notes to prove the dragon was engineered. Do that, we paint the Clan as a bunch of fanatics that kill anything that remotely resembles a monster. With all that fear and negativity, people are gonna steer clear of them for a long time
"It was a theme park attraction! For kids! Who doesn't love a good dragon?! They just killed the first ever genetically engineered dragon meant to entertain children!" -Doof in a press release
 
Like, imagine Rod sterling is in the middle of narrating, or the dream queen is menacing him, and suddenly a green beam comes through a tear in reality and he suddenly Russ turns into a saturday morning cartoon villain.

He's still in our employ after all

I want to fire LOVEMUFFIN. They were useful in the beginning but this is a step too far. Mad science is one thing, but they went and destroyed OUR CITY!

How could they not see us being upset at this!

The only concern I have is all the research they've done under us. The chip, Khan and so many other things.

We're firing them. Theres no question to that.

But if we do, we're mindwiping them with OWCA's mind wiping tech.

Can we add a sub action to the vote? Cause I'd like to

[]Fire LOVEMUFFIN
-[] Mindwipe them for all the time that they've been working for us.
 
In other, unrelated news...I'd like to petition for Jumba to perform his Experiment!(tm) action next turn. I've always been curious about how it'd turn out, and now that the results have shifted to being more positive, I think it's worth doing for one turn at least.
 
Hey! I just found a bright side (besides the dragon)! After this, there are only positive interludes!
  • Tobe's time travel interlude with the cast of Milo Murphey's Law
  • Juniper's interlude about dance magic (really looking forward to that)
  • The long awaited Janna's training interlude (which, given the crit for Janna and the high rolls for both Kitsune and Lizzie, should be very good)

Oh, dear lord, don't even joke about that. Russ' return chances are already low enough without one of our inators screwing him over.

Another reason to not let LOVEMUFFIN go: what will Russ say if he comes back to find we let a bunch of mad scientists who endangered innocents go free simply because of a technicality?

No write-ins this vote, and since OWCA is less well equipped than in canon they may not have mindwiping technology anyways. I suspect that the consequences of losing LOVEMUFFIN are unavoidably going to involve some of our dirtier secrets becoming known to our enemies. Maybe even the public.
 
The action is arresting them. Not firing them, there's no reason they can't keep working for us just because they're incarcerated.

Hell, we could make that their punishment, they don't get to quit.

Honestly, If I remember correctly, this happened before the quest because of the comments of Russ' Boss. So he might already know.
 
We can just play it off as just some genetically engineered creature (which it is). People will buy it since we are a notorious eccentric and we brought back the dinosaurs.

That sounds reasonable to folks like you or I, but we sort of have to remember that the Huntsclan is full of fanatics. Of individual who have a deep hatred for anything magical in origin.

I am going to predict an attack by them within the next six months or so, give or take a month... it's the way they are.

Will true, we have to remember that their first normal public deput though was defending New York from the Gargoyle invasion. If anything they will play it off as a case of mistaken identity, and apologize before requesting to build a base of operations somewhere near by while they look for their 'true target,' and look for any other magical beings and potentially find Kitsune...

Am I being paranoid, yes, but better safe then sorry in regards to fanatics who will do anything it takes to win.

one way or another, he already knows. the start of the Bonkers quest mentioned that it was one week after this interlude. whatever we chose, Russ already knows. bit weird that his loyalty isn't hit though. maybe he actually is growing fond of Doof?

So full damage control next turn. Put Khan, Mirage, Technor and others on dealing with them. Destroy their rep, ruin their finances, threaten them if we have too.

I don't care what we have to do, I just don't want them to come back and bite us or sell the tech we had them research.

It explicitly says that arresting them means permanently losing them as a hero unit. Maybe the courts won't let them work on science, maybe they break out of jail before we get the chance, maybe they hate us enough for arresting them that they'd prefer life in prison over community service working for us.

It might be that any loyalty hits from this are going to depend on our response, so they'd be applied retroactively.

Mirage is unavailable since she went on the whole Bonkers thing, but I think you're on the right track. Damage control all around: disabling LOVEMUFFIN, getting new income sources to make up for losses, branching out to the government in an attempt to patch up relations, the works
 
They came up with the plan on their own, they still have a sizable enough portion of culpability
They came up with a plan to fulfill the orders we gave them.

Y'all are basically screaming "How dare they do what we told them!? And be successful at it to boot!"

You guys are complaining about them successfully performing the action we instructed them to do.

No ifs-or-buts about it.

And I don't want to hear any arguments about "how they should have known better". It's LOVE MUFFIN.
Even if that was accurate (it isn't; this isn't mad science, it's just terrorism and undermining us and I bet they knew that and are just using us as an excuse), going by your logic we made this mess. Therefore, we must take responsibility and clean it up. Starting by making sure LOVEMUFFIN never does this again. Which means arresting them
Link to Doof's plans in Season One alone, many of which would have been harmful had they succeeded. This is what we instructed them to do; the only difference is that we're also in charge of the organization that would have thwarted them/put a stop to them before this could happen.

Doof could have caused so much harm if Perry weren't there to stop him.

And what you're saying is that we should basically fulfill the trope of the incompetent evil overlord ordering their subordinate "to be taken away" while said subordinate screams "but why? I was just doing what you told me to!" Only for that to later come back and bite them in the ass.
And keeping them enables this behavior that costed us our money and rep. Ya'll can go on about how we are to blame, but we shouldn't allow obvious damages to our branding and company go without reprisal.
I mean, by that logic we should be disciplining/taking action against ourselves for having been the one to ultimately give the order; the thing that enabled this behavior which cost us money and rep was us, it's not like LOVE MUFFIN just went off the reserve on their own.

tl;dr I'd be all for arresting LOVE MUFFIN if they'd just gone off and done this themselves, but the majority of voters were the ones who voted/ordered them to do this.

We said do mad science. That means make new animals, create weird machines, discover the miraculous properties of peanut brittle. This is what we expected.

Not destroy the town. They Know this!

They JUMPED over the line.

Again. It's LOVE MUFFIN.

Expecting them to exercise self-control/common sense as they are is ridiculous - we've known what they were like since the very beginning.

And, no, Mad Science isn't just the things you listed - it also encompasses most all of Doof's schemes and beyond. Just look at the list I linked in my last post; that's just a single season of Doof's machinations.

The only difference between this and Doof's schemes is that there was no separate organization to stop them since we control both.

And that they, well, succeeded.

Making them arguably better (from a certain perspective) at Mad Science than Doof was.
