We can always send a team to the Wasteland. Though Gomez is a terrible field agent for anything that doesn't include magic.

New Inator idea.
It's-Me-Boy-The-PS5-Inator (Good): After watching a funny video on the internet you had a brilliant idea, a product that advertise itself by subtly speaking into the brain of consumers to convince them to purchase and keep it. Increase your industrial rating in a randomly selected field and gain an appropriate amount of yearly income representing that gain.
It's-Me-Boy-The-PS5-Inator (Bad): After watching a funny video on the internet you had a brilliant idea, a product that advertise itself by subtly speaking into the brain of consumers to convince them to purchase and keep it. Unfortunately, you're not great at subtle. People start actively avoiding a subset of your products due to rumors that it drives people mad and makes them hear voices. Decrease your industrial rating in a randomly selected field and lose an appropriate amount of yearly income representing that loss.

All of a sudden I get the feeling someone is going to campaign hard for CJ centered personals in the near future. Weird.
Also, I feel it would be a shame for TECHNOR to not have his giant body if we're doing bot fights.
Speaking of which, and under the assumption that the QMs don't go and allow a custom quest like that, maybe some headway can be made by having TECHNOR get started on said robot body for his personal, and then have the others join in to assist him. It's probably a long shot for Juniper and specially Mez, but it should be pretty easy to get Gomez involved.
The idea of field testing the BO team looks nice on paper, particularly in setting things up for the inevitable Youkai confrontation, but wouldn't getting street cred for the group kind of defeat the purpose of the team? Perhaps something a bit more covert would be better, even if it's only skipping on the bot fights.

Goddamn it! I just saw this! We could have been using Wasabi as a Quester unit and spacing it out with his perpetual desk organization!
Wasabi would have still hated it, and if possible we really should try to avoid annoying our hero units unless we have a really good reason to do so

Well, if they go on the quest, then they would get an extra personal from the retreat, so Technor could do quest and mech body part. Plus quests increase stats and form connections which would also be beneficial on its own. Plus it would be an interesting, short and sweet quest, compared to some of the monster long quests we've had.
And Technor, Juniper, Mez, and possibly Gomez are already known as Supervillains. Plus, them doing botfights for money isn't exactly something that should draw too much attention in the way that would make their future black ops harder.
Not how the bot fights work. QM have said AI don't fight as themselves, bots are controlled with a remote and controlling them well is part of the skill/challenge. So even if Technor had his mech it wouldn't be used in the bot fight anyway.

Lab_Accident, I would love to recruit Janna 2: Basilisk Boogaloo, but in terms of possibility I'm leaning towards woweed's opinion there.
After all, I said this, and wouldn't you know it, I forgot to mention Possibility #3: Vee hasn't even come to Earth yet.
weredrago2 said that Amphibia (and possibly The Owl House) will be included at some point. Key word: at some point.
Amphibia is finished, but The Owl House isn't. The ostensible airdate of the beginning of S3 ranges from October to next March, depending on where you look. And I'm guessing that the GMs won't want to definitively add in any major TOH elements until they have a full understanding of (to quote weredrago2) "where it'd make sense for the bad guy to win and what might happen next."
Furthermore, there's the issue of in-universe time to consider.
(Yes, time in Disney cartoons is unclear at best even in canon, yes, as weredrago2 just said, "Time travel is weird", yes, as Felldrake said in the Xanadu quest, DoofQuest takes place along "a Gordian Knot's worth of paradoxes pretending to be a timeline", but there's still a little bit to take into account from that angle, I think)
In-universe, we're finishing 2017 right now. The Owl House (2019-present), set vaguely in "the present", begins in.. well.. late teens to early twenties, in-universe.
But, at the very least, we can be reasonably sure that it began no earlier than summer 2017, because in Moolah and Magic (Halloween 2016), there was a cameo by someone who was probably Eda.
(Okay, this doesn't exclude the possibility that Belos won but Eda made it out of the Boiling Isles, but I think that's unlikely.)
And I say summer because the key inciting incident of The Owl House is Luz getting sent to summer camp, which presumably occurs in May or July. Season 2 (and thus Yesterday's Lie), judging by Vee having returned from summer camp, takes place during late summer or fall.
So I think we're either too late for Yesterday's Lie or much too early.
Buuut as I said, DVV is weird, for all we know Luz could have been sent off to winter camp instead, we don't know anything for certain.
Considering that like 90% of the setting is anachronistic with the rest I don't think we can use dates as any kind of data point for what moment we are in each story
The only thing we can actually use are events we see in the quest itself to make guesses of when are we in each story

Is Gomez? A known Supervillain?
Might just be wishful thinking on my part.

That's why I said possibly. He did summon divino armies after all. But even if he isn't, the majority of the team would be.

He's a supervillain in the same way that a tomato is fruit.
Like. Technically, yes. But no.

His (well, his former boss') entire M.O. in his show was to covertly use Divinos to attempt to influence mayoral elections. I don't think he's more known as a Supervillain than, say, canon Doofenshmirtz is.
Gomez doesn't even have an alter-ego, he just goes by his own name. Isn't publicly sending him out with a bunch of supervillains who are, to paraphrase Mez' Council description, "not unwanted in the state of Nevada", a terrible idea?

I mean, Gomez wants to be a supervillain's minion. Who are we to deny someone's Evil goals?
Besides, Max, and Russ went to the bot fights. Sure, they didn't compete, but they were publicly there, and even talked with various capes and major contacts within the area. I think you're too paranoid about where we send the team.

Gomez wants to be A minion, fullstop. He actually wants to be Doof's minion, but he's understanding of the demands on a CEO's time.

We'll see how he does on lighting a torch as an audition for the position of Full time Minion.

I did read the rest of that, but don't bother using the round years as anything of value. It doesn't mean anything at in relation to other components of the setting or Doof's perception of the year itself. It's just a year because there was the belief that one needed to be picked.
This is why I didn't want to list a year when the quest began, instead going by Year 1, Year 2, and so on counting from Doof's declaration of a new, Doofanian era. Obviously its too late to change that now, but its worth noting that it'd might as well say that.

Stewardship action to institute a new calendar starting on the day we declared Doofania?

Well, next turn he has a free personal action. We could let him do his Toady Up personal to see how well he minions. It even makes narrative sense, since next turn is the company retreat, meaning he'll get to meet most of his potential bosses.

Well then it's a good thing I knew to not be too confident there.
Okay does anyone else think that would have been awesome?

@Arathnorn , would it be possible to have a write-in Personal Action for Lizzy to Study Magic Bugs? Possibly send her down with Dennis to study under Maui Mallard, the Magic-bug Master?
we'd be dropping 3 or 4 actions, and are doing so because we dont want Ludivine to wander into them again. It's basically a safety action.

I would interpret it as removing all flubber research and adjacent equipment offsite. Likely in the same dump where they put those ET cartridges. It'd be a good idea to do that in case anyone inspects the premises.
