    Hi Magoose here one of the guys helping Duke.

    So we have some bad news.

    The quest has been canceled as duke does not want to write it anymore.

    I'm going to ask if I can take over for it, because I like this quest, and it would be a shame to kill it

    TBF, Mags, you have been doing a lot of the heavylifting for the quest, so this will be in good hands. :)

    To be clear to everyone, this is just me burning out on imagination of the quest, since my muse has been hitting me over the head a lot with so many different ideas that I just can't find myself too interested in this.

    I'll still hang out here, though, since this still does have a sepcial place in my heart.

    I'd like to thank you all for making this a wonderful experience while it lasted.

    I'd also like to thank @Magoose, @Fluffy_serpent, and @Martin Noctis for doing so much to help prepare and write this quest. I couldn't have done it without you all. :D

    I'll see you all around.

    With so many regards, Duke William Of.

    It's more about the momentous dificulty of getting a thematically-appropiate sacrifice when I'm all the way over here in South America.

    As far as I know, we ain't got geese.

    ... also, I always kinda wanted to fight one.

    -[X]The Problems with Conan: Um… Steve, what happened? I thought you were ready to get going to work on… wait what's that? Why did Universal send a cease and desist letter to you? DC: 30
    -[X]Five Dates: Well it's time for you and Carrie to be placed on a wonderful red carpet again, for your directorial Debut... for a film that is. DC: 0

    -[X]Good news: Carrie has some good news. DC: 0
    -[X]The Queen, and Carrie: So, Queen is back in town, and they have decided, out of the blue, to stay at your house. Said that it was safer from the Paperatzi than it is anywhere else. And it is going to lead to something fun… or something. DC: 25
    -[X]Off the Wall: Michael Jackson is back in town, and he has requested that he needs a place to hide out from the media because he just wants a break. Well, hopefully he dosen't mind the couch. DC: 30
    -[X]Your Rival: Arnold Schwarzenegger. You have no idea who this guy is… also, why does he want to rival you. Also, what the fuck is he doing, going around saying you are the only reason that things got so weird? Whatever that means. DC: 30

    Functionally the same as @Poke_verse plan with the exception of adding Five Dates and getting rid of the tax thing. Reason I got rid of the tax act is because I highly doubt even with Bruce being the sponsor that a Democratic supermajority under Jimmy Carter is going to want to do tax reform. Best to wait under Reagan and make sure Reaganomics and conservative tax policy focuses first on benefiting the little guy and not corporations and the 1%

    Oh shit, forgot 5 dates, sorry.

    As for who's free... We've 10 animators free right now....

    So unless you wanna pull a japan and make 10 people make an entire film... you might wanna wait till later on in the year, when Gundam is finished.

    Okay, I have some questions:

    First, can we hire more animators? As in, do we need to wait until the option appears, or do we write in what we want to do?

    Second, seeing as Disney can select animators from Cal Arts, can we do the same? As in, is it done without our input, or do we need to make an option to do it?

    Third, you mentioned our animators being busy with Gundam, and also with the Classical tale with PBS come June. So, our animators are doing one season per year, right?

    You have to wait for the option to appear, and it appears once a year.

    cause we're gathering resumes.

    that option we don't have because, since most of our animators are Japanese...

    we will get two options.

    One to poach from studio's in japan, and then going to cal arts. But again that will not happen until next year.

    For gundam, we are doing most of the series, and it will take a year until we can get... most of them back to do another film project.

    As for the Cassical Tales, since most of the episodes are short stories, they will be ready by november to start.

    Everyone I'm changing to Kaiser Chris's plan for 5 dates

    If you switch the tax code lobbying for calling parents then I'll vote for yours. Like I said, it's not the type of bill that can be passed in Jimmy Carter's Democratic Supermajority (Dems don't want to mess with Kennedy's tax code, Jimmy hates us, Jimmy and Congress have a hostile relationship) and I think calling parents is important so we can tell them that Carrie's pregnant and Sarah can be happy that she's gonna get another grandkid to spoil.

    These two options really got my interest that's for sure~ Though wondering what the cease and eesist order for Conan is for. I mean we already got full rights to the books so what grounds does Universal have for this stunt?

    Also my vote goes to

    That's for me to know and you to find out.

    Unless it's a nat one but then that's a whole other issue we need to deal with.
