Oh no. I'm not taunting you. It just seems to me that you potentially stand to lose a great deal more by being greedy, and ignoring the risks in favor of a reward you are not guaranteed to get-- because, for all we know, GalFed could just shoot the lab down mid-flight-- rather defeats the purpose of assessing them at all. Like, I get it's a Quest, and this is guaranteed to be fun either way, I'm sure, but I don't know if mad looting sprees should form the basis of a jailbreak. Still, good to know where I stand with you.

I mean, we are causing a distraction. Plus... do they even have any weapons that can shoot down the ship before it takes off? The only thing thay I can think of is... well, that other ship Russ saw earlier. And, even then, the distraction should cause them to chase it.

... though, I did just have an idea that I'm sad I didn't realise earlier. We could have put Pleakley in the escape pod by tricking him into... just walking into it, and have him frantically call for help, humiliating him and getting the mant ships to fly after him.

Ported over from the DoofQuest Chat:

I know. I'm tempted to say something about how there's not a whole lot of risk assessment going on while everyone is salivating over the thought of having a whole alien lab under Doof's control. Never mind that it's full of people that you're going to have to subdue somehow before you get to Doofania, or that any one of them could easily just radio in your coordinates once you get there and have GalFed at your doorstep in mere minutes.

Nah, bruh, gotta risk it for the bisq-uh, lab.

Oh yes, I'm very tempted. I have absolutely no faith this will work out, and I can be a very vocal pessimist. But I won't do that, because I'm curious as to how it will play out. If it succeeds, great. We'll get Jumba, and his lab. If it fails, we may lose Khan, Russ, Jumba, and Monogram, on top of making enemies out of GalFed-- if they find out who they're working for.

All I'm saying is that I hope it's worth it. Best of luck, Loot Goblins!

if we turn down the chance to steal an entire lab while cackling madly can we really call ourselves a villain!?

You COULD lose a great deal, but the things you describe are more "fail almost every check" levels of failure or "nat. 1 with an enemy nat. 100" levels of failure. Statistically it is far more likely that any fail state would damage us but be nowhere near the levels of harm you are proposing. I CAN in fact do risk assessments. I said as much when I said I wasn't willing to take the "fun" option with Sinatron back in Vegas. This isn't really as bad as you propose. What you are proposing is a possibility, but not a likely one.

don't forget that the only person that could actually stop Khan is maybe Gantu.

so I kind of like our odds right now
 
So recently, our discord chat has mentioned putting toons on video sites like buzztube or our own if we choose to do so. Your thoughts?

I mean, this is ignoring several things

Primarily that we intend to launch an escape pod as a distraction to lure the guards away by also that these guards aren't exactly of the highest quality anyway, that GalFeds main security measure is their anonymity since this is a nature preserve with one low security prisoner, if a fight does break out we have a minimum Martial bonus of +79, +86 if the PMC apply, and quit every importantly that this is Jumba's ship and while he's certainly eccentric he's also a genius that managed to avoid arrest for several years and was only caught because his former partner turned him in

I figure the risks are less of a straightforward mano a mano Martial sort and more that we may draw the ire of an interstellar power. Like ticking off Uncle Sam, except, y'know, way worse.

But, y'know, risk and reward.

You never know when the dice will screw you. I'd rather safeguard against the absolute worst thing that could possibly happen, just in case, and minimize risk overall where possible. It's not as thrilling as a high-stakes lab heist, mind you, but it is practical, if nothing else. I mean, if it works for Toffee and Xanatos, why not give it a shot-- in moderation, of course?

I have evil pride, I just balance it out with overthinking, and being a worrywart.

We could do that. It'd probably help rehabilitate the Toon image, even as the public becomes more anti-Toon. I still want to turn Doofania into the new center for the Toon Film Industry (and found Acme Looniversity to aid that industry) though. I don't know how we would activate such an option - if it ever became one - but it is still a dream I aspire to.
 
An idea we were thinking was making a social media, a video sharing site.

ToonTubers. (Either this would be the site, or this would be a program/aspect of the site that is based on providing a video-sharing platform for Toons)

A place for Toons to let out their desire to perform in a safer manner, so they don't resort to crime. We can also make sure they get a fair wage based on their ad revenue/clicks, so they don't get motivated to do crime because of a lack of money. Plus, they would be able to create and manage their own content that can stand on its own rather than needing to take orders from others. Plus it would have a much cheaper and easier start up cost compared to a traditional cartoon.

Plus, if we have viral content that is pro-toon (because toons are being entertaining) that could help improve the public perception of Toons across the US/World.

It really depends on what the state of the galaxy at large is, if it's DVV Space, which in my opinion it most likely is, then GalFed is in no position to devote any of its attention to a minor issue on a backwater world who's only use is as a wildlife preserve

At worst we'd probably draw the ire of Gantu, who is seemingly in charge of the preserve as a whole

Slight problem. There's nationwide prejudice against toons. Only the most popular and hardworking of toons would be able to scrape together enough ad revenue for a living, and most of them already have a place in the film industry.

Eh, I'd be leery of creating or marketing a social media site just for a single demographic. Might limit the userbase a bit.

Firstly, just because Toons are making the content, doesn't mean they are the only ones watching. See: Cartoons.

Secondly, we could make a general video sharing site and ToonTubers could just be a program that is part of the site to help encourage Toon creators.

Well yeah, but cartoons were to television what the "toontuber" concept should be to the hypothetical social media platform: part of the larger whole. But more broadly: Do we want the social media to be not!YouTube?

Well, I did have the idea of just mashing a buncha social media sites together. I like the idea bout ToonTube just being a program rather than it's own thing by the way. Seems much more reasonable.

that we were using the term Toon tube on discord a better term would be

Dooftube or Doofacebooktube.

vasicly a combination of social media and video sharing site.

it's not specifically geared towards toons It's for everyone it just happens to help toons a lot.

we make the video sharing part of the website at cost ensuring that all creators have 100% ad revenue making sure that they can get the maximum amount of money off of their content as possible.

This encourages content creators onto the site. And because it is linked to social media it will expose those videos to a wider audience And community.

we make money off of the OS sales and my other monetization's on the social media Side of the website while the content creators drop people into the website.

The main purpose for toons is a content creation site so they can entertain and get paid for doing so. However they are not the only content creators on the site as we will be encouraging everyone to get on.this will force Toons to not just rely on slapstick but try to improve their content and even group together to better create and self direct. The slate encouraging responsibility in them.

the influx of cash to the Toon population will allow them to more easily escape to pro toon areas and the good PR will raise toons in the estimation of the rest of the population.

meanwhile we make a killing And Doom and EMPC get a violent kicking. As WW crush their goals and OS sales in a single move.
