You know, there really should be a second dimension doofquest negaverse omake.
Since our Doof is leader of a two and a half states area, the 2nd dimension Doof of Doofquest should rule most of America.
That's what I think it would be like, at least.
Who's to say that the second dimension Doof has the same heroes as us, complete with the same loyalty values.our Heroes seeing second dimension Doof and realize that their Doof is (cosmicly speaking) the good guy.
Why should we care about anti-toon laws in LA? We're not part of LA therefore it means nothing to us and we shouldn't do anything about it.
You're making a lot of assumptions there. Still, I agree that it would provide minimal rewards if we supported the repeal of the act. The thing is, though, that if we reached out to Shego with the intention of helping with this, she would be more amenable to creating an alliance with us.My thoughts regarding SRA issue:
1)We are independent country, why we even care?
2)With Shego long time cape support position, Kronos corp recent turn, and Doom last turn action, hopping on this bandwagon kinda late for us to receive any substantial benefits.
3)We already helped Shego with her main rival. Repealing SRA is boon for her, but don't gives us a thing. Like I understand, you guys want to help her, but I hope not to the point where she rules world with us ending like Drakken.
4)If after Evelin inevitable betrayal SRA repeal crush and burns, it's preferable for us stay from this issue as far as possible. Actually Doom is the one whom it will hurt the most, since he is pro-super for PR sake. Shego pro super as life position, and she operated under SRA for years. For her it will be disappointment in sense that she did not manage to increase her influence, not some actual threat. May be she will even take our example and proclaim independence of her territory.
Overall I prefer if we focus on magical issues, and let Shego, Doom and Evelin duke out this PR battle between themselves.
Personally, my headcanon is that some force just yanked them all from a few years after they won, and stuck them together on one world, then pulled some history editing to make ti look like they'd always been unified.That's fair, but I honestly think we could make the worst of it be okay. I figure it's like... most of the Kings "won" their respective series a few years before setting start, depending on how long they needed to consolidate power. The fact that nominally most of these Disney movies and TV series are set in different time periods isn't all that important, most of them can be yanked forwards in time by several decades if you're willing to bullshit a little and use the "this is an alternate timeline that only broadly resembles real life historical details"
Eh. That's my feeling anyway.
We are doing nothing about laws here. We are smuggling toons from there, not changing laws or their local representation.Why should we care about anti-toon laws in LA? We're not part of LA therefore it means nothing to us and we shouldn't do anything about it.
I mean, that's the goal though?We are doing nothing about laws here. We are smuggling toons from there, not changing laws or their local representation.
Long Story Short: What if we were to make a musical number (like those Doof is so famous for), that simply makes fun of the SRA and lauds the fact that the SRA doesn't even apply in Doofania.
Oh, and that makes copious mention of how Doofania is awesome.
I like this idea a lot. Make a musical, do some politics, make fun of Doom. Yes.
That's because there's someone powerful and entrenched there who would actively get in the way of that. We're currently doing our level best to undermine said person. I see no reason why we'd oppose him if we didn't particularly care about what happens in "other countries" (keeping in mind that not a lot of other people actually recognize our sovereignty so the US' business is still kind of our business and is even why we have an FBI agent here).We are doing nothing about laws here.

If all we wanted was to smuggle toons here ... we are done, we can stop, got a system set up, smuggling's as good as it's gonna get.
Yet, seems to me people still wanna mess with and take down Doom.
Doom started first with his assasination attempt. Also he clearly don't intend stopping, so in this case our actions justified on something more than just we don't like their laws let's invade them.That's because there's someone powerful and entrenched there who would actively get in the way of that.

I'm not saying 'Mina was right'.
Somebody over at the Discord suggested using our influx of toon actors to make mockumentaries about our enemies to combat Doom's stranglehold over Hollywood. We may want better martial before we go with that, however, because this seems like the kinda thing that triggers a serious retaliation.
I honestly take that as we are a tributary Country/state of the united states. We pay them money and they 'protect' us. (Also known as not invade us).Or, for that matter, why we pay taxes that oddly enough amount to something equivalent to the taxes formerly paid by all the citizens under our sovereignty. Odd how that works out.
Doom was trying to intimidate us because we were being friendly with and actively addressing the discrimination of toons. One response to this would have been to remain silent on the subject of toons and not drawn the ire of Doom, a nearby power we could have theoretically dealt with later. Instead, we doubled down on our position and then started helping out with the railroad (something we really didn't have to do). It seems pretty obvious that we care about what happens in LA even if it doesn't affect laws in Doofania (what everyone else calls Dansville).Doom started first with his assasination attempt.

I feel like a few of the people here have actually fallen into the trap of thinking that we're a real foreign power.
The second dimension does rule the tri-state area with a micromanage iron fist instead of our layback approach though. Also the second dimension may have a civil open war in US instead of the shadow war we have here. Doof there may even ally with Syndrom and Doom or something.Who's to say that the second dimension Doof has the same heroes as us, complete with the same loyalty values.

By doing so we fulfill my desire for:
A) A musical showpiece (that I have personally felt to be sorely lacking in this quest), and
B) An utterly inane action that has everyone else looking at Doof, wondering what in the world is wrong with him and just what's going on in his head.
C) An action that both helps others while arguably being to our benefit, so that we can maintain that veneer of EVIL
And there are so many possibilities!
Just some that I had off the top of my head:
1) We could use our newly obtained Avatar of Feldrake to play the part of the big bad monster that's smashing up the city in the background. Even evil maniacal sorcerers bent on universal domination thinks it's dumb to persecute your own defenders!
2) For the musical number, to make it easier on the QMs, we could maybe do a rendition of "I need a Hero" instead (possibly sung by Doof). Or maybe do a mix of that and an original musical number. To that end, maybe the thread can collaborate on the vocals/lyrics? Depending on how well we do the QMs could have that influence the DC/our roll bonuses
3) Feature heroes! Actually, I guess this would just be Hego - but by featuring him in the video we could possibly win points with Shego! We could maybe even diplo Shego herself into making an appearance, and maybe put out an ad looking for other heroes to participate? That this could double as a recruitment pitch/action is another plus.
4) I'm actually torn on whether to include Russ/have him make a cameo as the sort of secret agent type hero - he'd be ecstatic if something he did directly influenced the return of the golden age, but it would likely compromise him somewhat as a spy.
5) We can poke fun at Doom! Via caricature! Well not really cause he's actually like that, but we could take a jab at his PR for being genocidal against toons! As an added bonus we might be able to kill any support he might garner for having spoken out against the SRA in his own attacks against us.
