    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.

    Clint Eastwood (+0) Thankfully, you no longer sleep on his couch. But hey. He's a fun guy to be around, though a bit serious.

    A bit weird that it's so low, but meh

    Apparently the fear of you is so great that there is serious debate within the party over letting the UK and Portugal keep Hong Kong and Macau because both cities are avid consumers of Lucasfilms and if they reunify with China then those films will spread and cause a revolution, thus continuing the colonial legacy is worth avoiding a Romania. Even with China becoming an American partner and opening up more to the world, as long as the CCP remains in charge it seems like you shall never step one foot on Chinese soil. What a shame.

    That's genuinely hilarious.

    Also you think the Royal family likes you, or at least your films. Queen Elizbeth was quoted in an interview once that she enjoyed Star Wars with her family, so that's something you guess.

    MENA 46

    Considering how bold and daring your films tend to be, it was a given that the Middle East was never gonna be your fans. With each passing year, this came increasingly more so as Afghanistan and Iran which had strong Lucasfilms showings delved into chaos as a failed state and radical Shia theocracy, depriving you of two very friendly markets. Turkey is also still sore about the Ottomans portrayal in Dracula and Turkish filmmakers are trying their best to make blatant knockoffs of every Lucasfilms movie to absurdly hilarious failures. The only MENA states which are reliable fans of Lucasfilms are Morrocco, Lebanon, Jordan and Tunisia, the latter two for playing host to Conan and Star Wars, most especially Tunisia where "Star Wars pilgrimages" to Tunisia have become a major tourist industry.

    Hopefully we can see about fixing that with the Prince of Persia franchise. On a side note, the idea of Turkish knockoff versions of our films is hilarious and I wish they existed/hope they exist OTL. I do love me some "so bad, it's good."

    Africa 40

    Sub-Saharan Africa is firmly neutral about you. No Lucasfilms movies have anything to do with Africa so there's not really an instant appeal to them, thus whether or not a Lucasfilms movie hits is really a toss of the dice. The one exception is Star Wars as almost all of Africa is intensely in love with that film as an anti-colonial film. It's the one piece of Lucasfilms material that isn't subject to censorship in dictatorial nations, which cannot be said for the rest of your catalog as the African dictators, whether Western or Soviet aligned are keen on not starting revolutions. Sub-Saharan Africans in general are either indifferent or mildly positive about you as a person.

    Hmmm. We have a Tarzan script, don't we? Maybe that can help increase our appeal in Africa. I'll also try and see if I can't come up with possible films to expand our market here.

    What the fuck!? Madness is right. That's actually fucking mental. People would literally be bankrupting themselves or putting themselves into debt for those pillows. Fucking hell, that's insane.

    You have even heard of a fantasy director making an Arthurian film wanting to use ILM for the effects, and maybe even build some fake castles to destroy.

    Well you think.

    Ooooh. I wonder what that is? I do love me some Arthurian mythos, so I'd 100% be on board with helping them.
     
    The CCP members will have nightmares imagining Bruce the Goose with an army of Lucasfilm fans
    putting them through bamboo torture for their war crimes

    Not after Romania, but there is a chance we can mitigate the worst of it by A) making pharmaceutical ads illegal, and B) curbing insurance companies worst tendencies [ie- insurance also count towards can't practice without a liscence].

    Then let's make it happen. Eastern Canada America's 51st State

    They're each multiple territories with their own identities, they're not going to want to be the same state...51 through 56, maybe, and that's assuming before they're ratified the US doesn't make its other territories into states to balance out the imbalance new states bring.

    any ideas on who the US ratifies as a state to balance it out

    That American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, the various Minor Outlying Islands, and maybe DC are granted statehood...with little to no rigging involved, with there being a smaller possibility of them rearranging state lines if they're desperate enough, creating new states, reestablishing old borders that outright removing states (if North and South Carolina/Dakota merge), or just making them larger (Greater Idaho [movement]).

    There's also an outside chance that during this sort of upheaval that the Native American tribes become states too, being granted new land...very improbable, near impossible though that chance is.
