DoofQuest- a Disney Villains Victorious CK2-Style Quest

I mean the issue is taking him off council is a massive risk.

Replacing Councilors is always going to be a risky endeavor; but Malf and Janus are the two that'd take it the worst.

I think Janus could actually be persuaded. I get the sense that, while Janus certainly likes being CFO in terms of power and how it shows we take his ideas seriously and support them, he might actually appreciate a temporary removal to focus on his research for the New Man Project. I get the sense day-to-day management isn't actually his first love. He is a man of science first and foremost. So, depending on circumstance, he might not take it too bad. Malf, though, yeah.

I will say, my other alternative to trying to build Doofania in Danville is to try and become President via loophole abuses, but considering the world right now I'm not sure if that's something anybody would be comfortable doing sooo…

The thing is, in this Cyberpunkian setting, well...As Lex Luthor once put it, "do you know how much power i'd have to GIVE UP to be President?"

You know everybody always brings up that quote, but what they forget is that Lex Luthor was kind of working on a plan to become a god in the context of it, which I don't think we're quite doing.

This implies Janus is a completely reasonable actor and not a Mad Scientist with a very large Ego, Misanthropic Views, and a lack of faith in the company to actually listen to him.

Fair, fair. I could still see him being happy with the idea of being able to focus on doing research personally over management (his profile even states that, back when he had his own company, he let the board do most of the day-to-day management so he could focus on his work), but he'd need some assurance we're not gonna give up. Which is to say, a fair bit of loyalty. That, or PAs to help deal with his misanthropy, but that's another thing.

Are we looking to get rid specific counselors or just shake things up a bit? If the latter, we could just do a write in action to address the council as a group and see if any of them want to step down voluntarily. Actually now that I think about it, even if it's someone specific we want, that might not be a bad way to sound them out while avoiding looking like we're targeting them directly.
