Secretly a good boy
De-Loadinator (Good): You were browsing online one day when you noticed that everything was taking too long to load. So you decided that if you can't get things to load, no one should.
On the next turn, all other factions must pass an Intrigue roll, with DC depending on both physical and emotional distance from Doof (for example, Shego, as a neighbor and semi-ally, would have a fairly low DC). If they fail the roll, they will not know even the most public actions of Doof due to the relevant information not loading and must spend one of their Intrigue actions the next turn on catching up on the news. The DC can be reduced or negated by successful actions that interact with Doof in someway.
De-Loadinator (Bad): For once, you realized how this -inator could go badly for you and you had a firewall installed in Doofania's network to keep it unaffected. Unfortunately, this backfired and instead of keeping it out, the firewall kept the effects in. Oops...
On the next turn, do an Intrigue roll for each faction on the rival report, with DC depending on both physical and emotional distance from DEI (for example, Shego, as a neighbor and semi-ally, would have a fairly low DC). If the roll does not pass, the relevant section will not be included due to the relevant information not loading and Doof must spend an Intrigue action the next turn on catching up on the news. Successfully performing an action that interacts with another faction in some way will reduce or negate that faction's DC.

The Strongly-Worded-Letter-Inator:
This inator prints out a 12-page message that firmly states the users displeasure with the actions of another king or prince.
This functions as a free Diplo action that has very little chance of succeeding but is so inconsequential that a crit fail could go unnoticed.
Good: There is a vote to determine who to send the letter to and what issue to complain about.
Bad: Someone who thinks the inator would work activates it and sends the letter out.
Edit: The-Very-Strongly-Worded-Letter-Inator
Good: Norm found that floppy disk with the very convincing font on it. +40 to roll.
Bad: Dear Mr. Negaduck…

Wait, so the good version of the inator is as good as the bad version is bad? That doesn't seem likely with how you've laid it out ("inconsequential" vs "Dear Negaduck").
Maybe you should simultaneously suggest a powerful good inator to be the equivalent to the Dear Negaduck inator, and a weak bad inator to be the equivalent of the inconsequential angry letter inator - you don't have to make the bad inator a bad version of the good inator, or vice versa. The two inators could be completely different as long as their effects are similar in strength.

If you wanted it to be a bit more equal, I'd suggest having it be published online so that the enemy king might take a small loss to their public opinion from people who read it or something like that.
Because, as is, that doesn't actually do anything good.

Word quickly began to spread about the most dangerous toon alive receiving a letter of some kind. Halfway through reading he suddenly burst into tears, and was completely inconsolable by the time he finished.
Nobody was brave enough to ask what was in the letter.

You know, I am currently thinking about how to reconcile our wish to remain "Supreme Ruler of the Tri-State Area" with not pissing off Uncle Same or the other Kings with it .'
...What about getting the Feds to reorganize the continental USA into different "Economic Support Commonwealths" managed by the Corps most influential in each given Commonwealth? Officially to allow the different States to better prepare for devastations wrought by calamities like the Famine.
Of course, politically both the Feds in general and the different States in particular would stay in control - they´d simply receive formally agreed-on economic support by powerful corporations like DEI.
And to better coordinate the whole issue on a logistical level, there will be some kind of "Board of Philanthropes", where all those viable CEOs will get together with representatives from the USA to "talk business" if needed.
...Of course, inofficially those "Commonwealths" would be the different Kingships and that "Board" would be that old "Council of the Semi-Reasonable" idea packaged a bit less obvious.
Opinions or ideas how to tweak that idea, guys?

But, like, why would anyone other than Doof want that? Other corporations have as much influence as they want over the nearby area, and they have no reason to want to do anything more than that? And the U.S. government is now strong enough that it isn't really a problem for them to handle everything. Maybe, in an alternate Doofquest where the feds kept getting weaker, I can imagine that happening, but not now that they're so strong.

Again, *preparation for worse things to come* on the US side and *more leeway in how they throw their weight around openly* for the Kings.
I admit that it´s a bit wonky as an idea though

I mean, why would the U.S. not just exercise its own power? And also, I'm pretty sure most kings don't care about throwing their weight around openly, beyond how they already do?

Because sometimes it´s easier to "subsidize" the exercise to someone else.
As for Kings like Xanatos: *makes the whole Masquerade less of a hassle to deal with*

[The word "nope" echos ad infinitum in my head]
Gridlock is almost a dystopian setting held together primarily by the corporate cold wars occurring in the background. Anything that pushes it more into the grim-dark/derp territory is not something I'm comfortable doing.
The famine is more or less dealt with, the Wasteland adheres to its paradox defined border, and the improbable mess that was Syndrome is still boosting the Feds power all these years later. It's easier at this point to build a country elsewhere than get Doof official power in the states.

Collab with the Feds enough to get their support with the council of the semi-sane?

Or just do our own thing, colonize alternate dimensions and space in the name of Doofania, and if the feds give us trouble just physically remove Danville from the continental U.S. and take it somewhere else.

I´d rather not just bugger off entirely from the "game board" that is the US - that being said, I could be convinced to basically *split* our Domain, with "Doofania Proper" being tucked away in some (pocket?) dimension while using DEI and "Doofania-as-in-Danville" as a sort of "gatehouse" on Earth to conduct stuff on what is our homeworld.
...Now that I think about it, that would make is sort of a heroic-ish, probably weaker counterpart to how Toffee does things...huh, neat.

I've joked before that we should claim part of Mewni to make a colony called Iowa 2 if if we kick out Toffee, but I wouldn't be opposed to it becoming a thing.

Pretty sure that Toffee using his full power would be either the second- or third-strongest King after Bill and maybe Phobos (don´t think that most Space!polities could face him head-on without serious prep)...so us kicking him out is not something I see us doing reliably without pretty much all other Earth Kings on our side.

I'm still advocating for using the terraform skill-tree to make a little island nation down near the Galapagos. It's less of an action sink and it doesn't interfere with any of the masquerades. Furthermore we can have Doof actually achieve his dream in a publicly recognized manner.
Have someone set up the groundwork under a semi-independent company known as "Tri-State-Area". Then when we're ready to finalize the government junk Doof "takes over".
The man is not above winning through a technicality.

I never said when or how, all I know is we're going to wind up in more direct conflict with him at some point unless we start doing the opposite of what we've been doing.

...Is there some kind of ancient, "lost" island off the US in RL, perchance? Wouldn´t mind revivng quasi-mythical stuff to get what we want in terms of "our own land to rule over
For example, if Doofquest were placed in Europe, we could revive Doggerland for that purpose.
Doggerland - Wikipedia
I feel like we should at least try to start putting that together before trying to get the government on board.
like... we've been sitting on the Xanatos and Shego collabs for a while now, and for almost 2 in game years at this point for Xanatos. We've been throwing around the idea of making this council a bit but we've never really tried to follow up on those two, I guess.

While part of the reason for that is admittedly some form of..."laziness", a big reason for it is that we (and to a lesser extent David/Shego as well) just got our plates to full, with stuff like the Middleton Drug Cartell, Twelfth Night and now *everything even vaguely connected to Kat/LM*, you know?
