We'll hammer him once our Russ is back home.Should we be worried aboutDoom? I kind of feel like we should be hammering him.
Here is the blurb from Mirage. I guess we should take the supply chain action from them and work togerher with them more as they have the closest and most genuine connection based on this blurb. Perhaps they would be willing to join the DEI family after the fallout from whatever the Yokai is planning.Bakaemono: Personal Friend
While you're not one to take promises of friendship on faith, you seem to have hit it off with Judy Silverman. She's made vague hints towards something being 'off' at Bakaemono, but so far as you can see, she does have some actual power.

Danville People: Beloved Uncle, Reclusive Chocolatier
The people of Danville and the broader Tri-State Area view Dr. Heinz closer to a wacky uncle than a distant CEO, largely benefiting off of his more benevolent policies and viewing the rest of them as too unimportant to really affect their lives. Quality of life has improved significantly due to the jobs offered in and around Danville, enough that most will overlook the downsides of his control, but some people are rightfully beginning to tire of the chaos that continually affects their lives. Being subjected to raining meat and mad scientists running rampant in the streets grates on the nerves after a while. Dr. Heinz's declarations of 'independence' and plays at being a mad scientist are seen as absurdly hilarious by many, viewing it as a parody of how 'evil' other CEOs can be and a sign that Doofenshmirtz alone is actually self-aware.
[brief giggling fit]
A few have even taken to the company's 'Doofania' insistence, albeit in a mostly jocular or humoring manner. It's seen as a repudiation and mockery of the classic CEO delusions of grandeur, rather than… delusions of grandeur itself. DEI can, in broad strokes, be seen as an equivalent to a mad inventor's chocolate factory or a mostly benevolent fey; a powerful force that can be turned to for aid and succor, but never without its dangers and completely unpredictable.
National Opinion: Eccentric Millionaire
The rest of the country views DEI as just another megacorp, albeit one with odd branding, without a speciality and with a wide variety of products. Their work on the famine earned considerable goodwill, and developments in fields that the general populace can care about, such as dinosaurs, have done a lot to improve this. DEI's weird 'Doofanian' fixation is ignored by most, seeing it as a grandiose delusion that some choose to play along with because of monetary incentives.
US Government: Unpredictable Thorn in Side
The Federal Government has little to no reason to be fond of you, given that you are actively pushing back against the very delicate power structure of the US. Thankfully, DEI stands atop a very large jenga tower made up of bigger, far more dangerous jenga pieces. As long as we avoid pressing the issue, the government is likely to focus on keeping their coverups intact and, where possible, dealing with the factions that could crash the economy overnight. You may do crazy things, but you do crazy things that don't, normally, hurt them more than anyone else.
Shego: Drakken 2.0
Based on her interactions, it seems that Doofenshmirtz strongly reminds Shego of her former partner in crime and current subordinate. This can be occasionally useful. Frequently, it is not. Structurally, our corporations are almost entirely separate despite being headquartered quite close, geographically speaking.
Olympia: Tentative Cooperator
Olympia has extended general feelers of cooperation to us, albeit without a larger degree of followthrough on either side. There may be an opportunity for a deeper relationship, but questions remain about their true intentions. Sinatron in particular is a major question mark.
Judge Doom: Possible Antagonist
While Doofenshmirtz' previous antagonisms are unlikely to distract Doom in the long term, it is possible he suspects what we suspect about the death of Alonso Hawk. If so, he is doubtlessly working hard to determine what we know and what can be done about it.
David Xanatos: Ally of Convenience
Xanatos is unquestionably manipulating the Doctor to his own ends. Thus far, those ends have not been openly hostile to our own interests. However, his skill at obfuscation most likely exceeds our own.
Funtelligence: Cordial Coworker
Our collaboration with Funtelligence has borne fruit, despite whatever misgivings exist clearly between Mr. Trengrove and Ms. Wower. Trengrove looks on us with some degree of suspicion but doesn't have any concrete opinions on the Doctor as of yet.
Bakaemono: Personal Friend
While you're not one to take promises of friendship on faith, you seem to have hit it off with Judy Silverman. She's made vague hints towards something being 'off' at Bakaemono, but so far as you can see, she does have some actual power.
Sycorax: Indifference
Sycorax has not yet had any significant dealings with us, although they have expressed some interest in collaboration after our work in genetics.
ENCOM: Fading Competition
ENCOM once saw DEI as a potential competitor until DoofOS faded from public attention. Now that DaedalOS has a relatively insignificant part of the market share, ENCOM appears to give DEI little more attention than any other technology firm.
Calisota Conglomerate: Not Worth My Dollars!
We have not yet presented the richest duck in the world with a profit incentive.
Khan Industries: Politely Acknowledged Neighbor
DEI has not yet done anything in particular that would affect Khan's own interests. Some areas for collaboration exist, but so far the company has only kept up meaningless pleasantries.
New Mewni Investment Corporation: Uncertain. Somewhat concerning.
The illusive CEO of NMIC and benefactor of the New Mewni Economic Investment Zone hasn't seemed to have paid any attention to DEI since offering the corn deal a while back. Considering his apparent nature as an interdimensional warlord who happens to have a block of shell companies that sell corn products, that is probably for the best. His assets are almost certainly being funneled towards the search for this 'Star Butterfly'.
Mark Beaks: Free Advertisement
Mark Beaks and Doofenshmirtz have a light squabble going on, which Waddle is taking advantage of to keep their name on the Doofnet feed without paying for the adspace. He is a minor nuisance, the Doctor's petty fixation aside. Recently, Waddle has started a "Don't be Evil" campaign as a petty slight, likely to provoke a greater response from DEI.
Zootopia State: Curious Omnivore
Our interactions with the Pacific Northwest state of Zootopia have been scarce up to this point. The mayor of Zootopia, Bellwether, has recently come to us with interest in collaboration. Doof's early history of being raised by wild ocelots is not expected to incense the mayor's fringe following of anti-predator extremists.

Hm....Sure, yeah, I can work with this.Here is the blurb from Mirage. I guess we should take the supply chain action from them and work togerher with them more as they have the closest and most genuine connection based on this blurb. Perhaps they would be willing to join the DEI family after the fallout from whatever the Yokai is planning.
We also should focus more attention on the Zaibatsu in general cause of their connection to Doom, Vanessa at SFIT, and the Yokai planning something.
Maybe not necessary if you read the opinion tracker of him. I think Yokai is a higher priority right now.
And here is the rest of them.
On a further note I think I am going to be moving forward with this plan once the moratorium ends in a few days, considering we have received WoG that the doof's head option is one time because he is frozen and hints it could help with Russ, with MrHobbit's eventual plan probably being my second choice if a doof's head option isn't going to win the vote (as his plan is similar to Executive Nystical).
@woweed I know you made a doof's head plan with some slight differences, would you be willing to vote for my plan once the moratorium ends?

[Personal note: Raised by what?]
Uh, Nystical? Bit of a problem with your plans: we can only use Executive Priorities once.
Executive Priorities: Once a turn, Mirage may choose to take a Diplomacy, Stewardship, or Intrigue action in place of any other action. This action takes a -10 penalty, as repurposed resources are not perfectly efficient.
Yes. The DC of the action has been reduced by 10 points, but this turn the rolls are also reduced by 20.On stewardship [ ] Solidify your Hero Structure under Mirage decreased its DC by 10 points, so it is still remains doable, or at least don't carries risks of crit fall.
That option probably doesn't exist because Mirage doesn't care to investigate them.What happened with [ ] Investigate the San Fransokyo Cult action? I thought it was supposed to become easier, not disappear outright?
Damn. Alright swapped it back to other dimension inator.Uh, Nystical? Bit of a problem with your plans: we can only use Executive Priorities once.
Magical NYC has been on backburber for awhile, plus she is known as savior and Janna is also going to MNYC this turn.I'm not opposed or anything but what's the reason for this change?
I thought kitsune doing the Japan one sounded interesting.
Yeah, sure, but Japan is something we only get with Mirage, who has better Diplomacy than Doof, and we can do MNYC whenever. Just because something can be done for synergy doesn't mean it has to be.Magical NYC has been on backburber for awhile, plus she is known as savior and Janna is also going to MNYC this turn.

Notice how Expand into Foreign markets isn't blue text, which means it isn't a Mirage exclusive? Also notice how it mentions that Doof has had the nations on his mind.[ ] Expand into Foreign Markets
DC Variable
DEI's growth over the years has been steady and consistent. We can now take the logical steps, acquire the proper permits, and grease the right palms to expand into foreign markets. This can be a risk, but certainly one worth considering.
Select one of the following nations Doofensmhirtz has recently had on his mind.
-[ ] Japan: Eastern capital of bleeding-edge science, robotics, ninjas, and anime. Their Prime Minister is Kitsunezuka "The Big Cheese" Seymour.
DC 120
-[ ] British Isles: Industrialized centers of trade and commerce. Includes the UK and Ireland. Home to John D. Rockerduck, oil magnate and Second-Richest Duck.
DC 130
-[ ] France: Bonjour! This futuristic country hosts noir scenes, genetic engineering, romance, fine dining, and supervillain terrorism.
DC 130
-[ ] Thembria: Frigid, repressive state on the edge of Siberia. The Thembrians maintain a robust army and chilly relations with the rest of the globe.
DC 100
The action text isn't blue so we should have it moving forward.
...Huh. I see. Alright, objection withdrawn.Notice how Expand into Foreign markets isn't blue text, which means it isn't a Mirage exclusive? Also notice how it mentions that Doof has had the nations on his mind.
We used her for this year, and part of her benefit is that she isn't apart of our hero roster.EDIT: Hey, wait a minute, if we have hired Olivia Denkins, shouldn't she be listed under hero units? Or am I just crazy?
