We should build a giant robot. This isn't related to anything or current discussion, and can probably safely slotted behind the ODI and our current learning focuses, but I think a giant robot should be up there.

No you misunderstand me, I'm not talking about some paltry Hulkbuster or some Really Really Incredibly Destructive Machine-tier mecha. Something actually impressive, and worthy of glory, put our face on it, pack it with giant speakers, lights, weaponry, weaponized giant speakers, and weaponized lights. If we can make it fly and/or space traversable that'd be a major plus. Or make it also work construction I dunno.

I just think a giant doofmecha wouldn't go amiss.
Tachnor's working on it.
 
Idea: Expand on the superhero wrestling with a tie-in gacha game featuring superheros and villains.

Very profitable, plus a bunch of extra heroes and villains in the Grid could help against Cybugs.

Nah. Gacha games are too...Banal evil, ya know? I would be willing to do a tie-in game in general though. Just...No microtransactions. That's Mark Beaks' stuff. No thanks.

Do we even have anyone that would be well-suited to game design/programming?

Also, since the wrestling is a collab, would making something to further it require another one? or, if not, would we need to give some of the profits to Olympia since they own the title?

Gi-ant-inator: You were going to use this on yourself, become a giant, and literally crush your enemies, but there was an ant on your coat right where the beam hit. Lizzy gains 5 loyalty and an ant of unusual size, providing her 4 bonus martial which only applies in direct combat or intimidation.

Giant-inator: You built the biggest inator ever made! It is truly a monument to your genius. Unfortunately, as enraptured as you were with the idea of making it huge, you forgot to make it actually do... anything. Spend 2 funds building it for no benefit.

The Reforest-Inator!:
After hearing about how Genghis Khan managed to help lower the world Carbon Footprint (and after you were given a terminology dictonary to learn what that actually meant) you decided that it would be a great PR move to make a new, massive forest in the world. Flora, Fauna, It was only after firing the Inator that you were told the Tri-State area isn't so much of forest as it is desert, and by creating hundreds of acres of forest you kind of tossed the natural enviroment out of whack. A Series of Lumber companies have emerged to cut down this massive greenery before it all dies of thirst and covers the place with decaying trees, as well as capture the animals to move em... somewhere.

The Tri-State Area is covered in a massive forest for the next turn. Roll a D6 to determine the type. On a 1 it is a rainforest, on a 2-3 it is a Temperate Forest, on a 4-5 it is a Evergreen Forest, and on a 6 it is a Drusselstein Forest with wood witches, doonkleberries, mean wildlife, and the complentary small villages forming angry mobs (Which the US Gov has to figure out what to do with). Actions may emerge or change do to the changes caused by the forest. Also get a very angry phone call from the EPA.

Spawning a Drusselsteinien settlement in the US feels like there's only one appropriate response for the US government:
 
On Creating a Nation-State From First Principles
I wanted to make a followup on the Doofania topic. It seems like there's still some interest in creating a separate society outside of the united states. That is, actually, possible! But it will be far from easy.

The biggest hurdles in your way are finding a location and getting people to actually go.

First, you'd need to find a location imicable to life that is currently unpopulated, or at least, has locals you're comfortable pushing around. This may be harder that you'd think in a setting this jam-packed with content.

Then, you'd need to convince people to go. While the promise of a new and better life has always been an effective tactic, the degree afield this hypothetical Doofania would be going would require any potential immigrants to feel pretty strongly that making the jump is worth it- especially since you're unlikely to receive much help from 'official' border controls. Don't expect many people from first world countries, and expect both advertising and transportation to be issues.

Having a colony more open about magical and other unusual citizens might allow you to tap into some other potential population pools, but it would also greatly limit the potential scale of any project massively. On top of having to source an entire settlement's worth of resources in secret, you'd have to limit exactly what you advertise, and how much normal immigrants are allowed to, you know, ever come back or send letters. You could also just blatantly flaunt the coverup, of course, but that will make people upset.

Then there's the unique issues of wherever you're trying to build- dimensional travel, high-cost environmental control, drusselstein. All have their own challenges.

This is, of course, not noting the fact that this would all be on top what is already a multi-action megaproject, comparable to Xanatos' moonbase or other big projects people are kicking around.

So you can do it. But expect it to be another Dinosaurs tree. At least.

What's the difference between being a "Member State of the United States", and "a separate sovereign nation inside land formerly belonging to the United States"?
 
I've been thinking about disney villains lately, for some reason, and I think we should start enforcing some basic rules, starting with stop killing, mind controlling, torturing, or otherwise hurting children! Like, is that so hard a rule to follow, there are a concerning amount of King's or otherwise notable individuals willing to kill children. That's messed up!

Bill, DOR15, Bellwether if they're a predator, Waternoose, Toffee, and the most recently added King's, Andrias and the Core, literally do all of the above of (attempted, maybe succeeded here) killing, mind controlling, and torturing. Going for the hat trick.

This is concerning. Maybe we should add it to our list of rules, in case we don't have it written down somewhere, might raise public opinion too.

Edit: maybe i made my post at a suboptimal time, the above post might overshadow it completely.

I mean, I am still of the opinion that Dimensional Travel is hands on our best bet, seeing as rival corporations are either way ahead of us or at least rivalling us in any other way to do it, along with another dimension being much more defendable

The difference is that most of the people who want to make a new Doofania don't want anything to do with the United states. Also the US probably isn't in the mood for expansion at the moment, especially to somewhere with indigenous population.
 
So making a nation state gets us extra Dinosaurs, or since we have Dinosaurs already; making a nation state is redundant in that regard?
----

<-your point

my head ->
I think Arathnorn is saying that it would take multiple turns of implementation just like the Dinosaurs tree was 3 Learning actions and 3 Stewardship actions.
 
I say if we find any children being threatened by villains we should take them away from that, I dunno just feels like the thing to do. Maybe introduce them to Technor, they'll need so much therapy.

Edit: is Technor rated for child therapy or will we need to find someone else.

Joking aside, making a "dont hurt children" public announcement just seems to be doomed to be viewed as either too saccharine that it's out of touch, a joke in poor taste, or worse, accidentally self-reporting on our own actions.

It's not a good idea.

Well maybe not a public announcement, but an internal memo going around DEI, you know, just to make it clear what we're about, and what we aren't.

Or just the council.

That is an interesting idea, but how would we police for that? As in, how would we come to know when children are being endangered by various Kings? Spy network? Maybe some KND-like organization of housepets?

I don't know much about Talespin, but I know there is a kid named Kut Cloudkicker, and he presumably geta endangered by primary antagonist Shere Khan, who else?

Edit: I think Liv Amara once experimented on a teenager without her consent?
