I hope I'm not asking for a spoiler, but how is the Illuminati doing?

This Illuminati is based off of the one in Gargoyles and nothing else. It's far, far too spoilery to talk about how they're doing.

Well...Thank you...Can I make a guess or two based off what Xanatos is doing?

On top of that, I like to imagine they stole more of our artisian soaps and framed Mezmerella for the job.

So, I have a question. The Ultimate Evil-Inator turns things evil, but so does the Turn-Everything-Evil-Inator. The former, however, grants a competence boost. Though the latter seems able to animate things not already alive. I'm thinking about the Council(and possibly Shego) visiting OWCA's repository of Inators for an Omake. My question is thus. Would Doof use the Ultimate-Evil-Inator on himself were the situation sufficiently dire? It would be a hypothetical in the Omake, but it seems the easiest way to give himself a Stat boost, as long as he's willing to ignore the morality downsides. I mean, Carl got turned into a pretty competent Big Bad for the special, imagine what it would do to someone who's already a mad scientist!

On that subject, I discussed a plan like this with some others in the discord, but we should really consider creating Cybernetic Dinosaur Storks, to ensure the Toon Population has the extra security to obtain and raise the next generations of Toons once things start looking up for them.
I wouldn't put it past Doom to shoot down storks for fun if he thought it would piss off his fellow toon, and that besides, the idea of having swarms of robotic dinostorks designed to protect their charges with the ultimate in military biotechnology carrying baby toons in little swaddled bundled to their new homes amuses me on a fundamental level.

I doubt he would, personally.
As amusing as that would be, I don't think dinostorks are necessary unless you want to do a grimdark reboot of Yoshi's Island.

True, it isn't strictly neccecary, but it DOES help with some of the biggest crime motivators, psychologically.
For a toon, it might be great comfort to know that wacky antics and intense firepower are being used to protect their little ones in-transit should they choose to settle down and start a family.
That's bound to help with creating a security-buffer against criminal motivation among the toon population, alongside other, more traditional methods like affordable housing and an improved job market.
Maybe we could dial it back to simply using dino-enhanced storks flanked by a retinue of flight-capable normbots though, if I'm being a bit more fair to what's reasonable and within our current research trees.

The Goddess of Adventure from The Legend of the Three Caballeros who instructed them.
I think Storkulus is the 4th person who went into the temple with the Caballeros due to there being sandal prints alongside the Caballeros footprints earlier. So we may be able to engage in diplomacy to get information on where the Caballeros went next. Or at the very least, Dennis can get another member for the Donald fan club. Wonder if he'll be able to identify Storkulus due to how knowledgeable he is on Donald Lore.

This is how you get 2nd Dimension Doof. You never go full 2nd Dimension Doof.

Wow really...
On another note how are we going to prevent Blot (presumably) infiltrating Doofania without risking the railroad?
The Mods are probably just as done being trapped inside in the heat as we are. We should probably tread carefully outside the discord for a while.

I mean, in fairness Carl is already really competant. Like, didn't he have human replicant robots designed, and doesn't he do a lot of the tech stuff like upgrading Perry's flying car or etc?

He was saying in the DVV: Gridlocked tabletop setting that that's how Max and Goofy's relationship sits canonically.

Yeah, I intened to specify that Max *in Gridlocked* wouldn´t really count as "being estranged" in comparision...sorry for that

"Just."
Um.
Er.
Consider that this is a show that a number of the quest participants watched as a child. A show with teenage protagonists. A show where some of us may even have identified with Ron, the occasionally hapless but loyal and on the whole competent sidekick-boy. Now personally, I never watched that show when I was young. A lot of the people in this forum, especially those a few years younger than me, probably did.
Furthermore, suicide, especially suicide over romance gone wrong, can be a very touchy subject that pushes a lot of people's real-life trauma buttons. Suicide of a teenage character in what (for millennials in the audience) may have been a show important to their childhood is even touchier.
...
So to be clear, what you're saying is that you took the saddest, most distressing possible versions of a story that could plausibly be supported by the text (e.g. "jilted Ron commits suicide").
You made this interpretation based on several logical leaps you made from the basis of a single throwaway line that was apparently meant as an obvious joke ("Ron had cheez in his lungs" or whatever).
And then (importantly) you discussed this interpretation as if it was known fact. You just said "I think I know what caused Ron to kill himself" flat-out, without acknowledging that it was speculation on your part that his death was intentional at all, let alone a suicide.
If someone hadn't called this out, people reading the thread might very well have read your earlier post and said "holy shit Ron killed himself wow that is dark, I just thought he died an accidental comedic death by overeating at Bueno Nacho, I must have missed something, wow.
"...
Now remember, one of the things that makes this quest enjoyable and playable is trying to create a relatively wholesome and pleasant way to engage with a setting. One that dozens of people, some of whom may have traumas in their past, can be happy with. And this has to happen in a setting where a lot of bad things have happened to a lot of good or innocent characters. Characters who are in many cases beloved by part of the playerbase.
So please do not undermine this by going out of your way to deliberately, artificially maximize the degree of Fridge Horror. Some of us are already having serious problems with the playability of this game because of the weird random unnecessary "maximum Fridge Horror" tangents. Let's not make it worse, okay?
May I point out that both last time and this time, you were engaging over a false alarm?
We get that you are strongly opposed to Discord threads associated with quests. So am I, believe it or not. But you are now two-for-two on taking a shot at the Discord thread over concerns that proved to be empty, inconsequential, or that simply cannot reasonably be characterized as "the QM is sharing plot-relevant information in the Discord and then not sharing it with the thread."
Twice, in the space of approximately four days.
It may be time to relax the advocacy a little.

This quest is definitely darker than the original source material- you need look no further than things like Perry dying- but I'm never going to go into pointless grimderp territory.
Thank GOD. I don't even know anymore how many Stories I just quit reading because their Authors suddenly decided that 'Grimdark' or 'Mature' (more like tastelessly edgy) Themes automatically equal Good Writing.

Yeah, I prefer believing that Ron died in an unfortunate accident by literally "inhaling" his favorite JUNK food...still rather tragic in context, but at least somewhat amusing in a darkly humorous way
A false alarm that (at least in this recent example) almost caused an outcry at the quest´s seeming overflowing grimdarkness and could have seen scores of followers abandon a "sinking ship"
It might have been not so bad in the end, but always brushing off uncomfortable concerns as "not worth the hassle" isn´t the right way either.
I admit that I am being rather heavy-handed about this topic, but I just can not stand the inherently callous nature of expecting people to always be on the hunt for crucial info in a medium as fluid as Discord channels - especially while accounting for different timezones.
But very well, I won´t say anything anymore on a matter you feel similar about in the end.
True, but just the same Grimdark/Mature stuff does not equal "edgy or chuuni" writing...take it from someone whose go-to powerset in stories and games has become Blood Magic.
