    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
    Click to expand...
    Click to shrink...
    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.

      ---[X]Importing Foreign Films: So… you may have a way to get some films showing in American Theaters. Maybe you can go to other foreign film industries and… well, ask to distribute their films. Sure many of those foreign film companies never expected an American company to distribute their films in the US… but maybe you can get money without producing them. (Linetail where you try to get films from, and if there are any specific films, line tail them below) DC: ???
      ----[X] Romania. Sergiu Nicolaescu. The interim and first President of Romania until the elections come November, Sergiu Nicolaescu is a legend in Romania not only for his leadership in the war, but his movies which makes him akin to the George Lucas of Romania, or at least that's what Romanians like to brag about. His films mostly follow Romanian history and are rumored to have been the best of the Eastern bloc. Now that Romania has joined the West, see if you can distribute Nicolaescu's films for Lucasfilms, helping to share Romanian culture with the world. Since you're on parent duty, perhaps negotiate through the Romanian embassy if Mike or others can't fly to Bucharest.

      ----[X] The Fair Housing Equity Act [ $5,000,000 ]: While you'd always been faintly been aware of such practices in the abstract, it wasn't until you'd been approached by some many of the affected after the John Henry premiere that you realized the full scale of the problem and it just caused your Irish blood to burn. While there had been actions to solve the issue [most notably 1975's Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and 1977's Community Reinvestment Act], it was still highly prevalent in the private industry, bypassing the protections that had already been placed on the banks. In that manner, the Fair Housing Equity Act was a groundbreaking piece of legislation aimed at eradicating the harmful practice of redlining in the United States, seeking to make all forms of redlining illegal, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic background, had equal access to housing opportunities and fair treatment in the real estate market. By addressing the systemic discrimination embedded in housing policies, the Fair Housing Equity Act aiming to promote the fostering vibrant and equitable communities across the nation.
      ----[X] Prohibition of Harassing Pursuit in a Moving Vehicle Act [ $10,000,000 ]: This seeks to establish a law that treats pursuing someone in a moving vehicle in a harassing manner, such as for taking photography, as a punishable offense due to the endangerment it poses to the public. This bill draws parallels between this behavior and drunk driving, as it forces the targeted individual to drive recklessly and at high speeds to escape, putting everyone at risk. The proposed legislation includes clear definitions, severe penalties, and provisions for aggravating factors It also emphasizes public awareness and education about the dangers of such pursuits and establishes reporting mechanisms. The punishment for harassing pursuit shall be the same as the punishment guidelines for reckless driving, with severe and escalating punishment for injury, death, and repeat offenses. By passing this bill, California aims to deter this form of harassment, promote public safety, and hold offenders accountable.

With a team of visionary composers, producers, and engineers, we will harness the rich legacy of Lucasfilm's storytelling to deliver breathtaking and immersive musical experiences that elevate the emotional impact of visual narratives.

By honoring the memory of those affected by these tragic events, we not only reaffirm our commitment to anti-communist values but also extend our solidarity to other communities impacted by similar experiences. The memorial will serve as a powerful testament to the human toll of Soviet atrocities and promote a deeper understanding of the importance of preserving freedom, human rights, and dignity. The Memorial of Remembrance is a powerful testament to the victims of Soviet atrocities, while fostering historical consciousness and promoting universal values of freedom, human rights, and dignity. By embracing a sectional approach and actively involving affected communities in the memorial's design and development, we ensure that the diverse stories and experiences of victims are properly honored and remembered. This memorial will stand as a symbol of resilience, remembrance, and a commitment to preventing the recurrence of such atrocities in the future. | Sectional Approach: The Memorial of Remembrance will be thoughtfully divided into distinct sections, each dedicated to memorializing victims of specific Soviet atrocities. This approach ensures that the diverse range of victims and their stories are properly acknowledged and remembered. The sections may include: The Great Purge (1936 - 1938), Holodomor, Gulag System, Deportation of Ethnic Groups, Katyn Massacre, Invasion and Occupation of Baltic States, Suppression of Political Dissent, Vietnam, Romanian. | Outreach and Inclusivity: To ensure the authenticity and inclusivity of the Memorial of Remembrance, we will actively engage designers, artists, and historians from the communities affected by Soviet atrocities. By sourcing talent from within these communities, we will ensure that diverse perspectives and experiences are reflected in the design and narrative of the memorial. Additionally, we will prioritize placing one of the memorial's designers in one of the top five largest cities by population, enhancing its accessibility and visibility. | Educational and Historical Significance: The Memorial of Remembrance will not only serve as a place of solemn remembrance but also as an educational resource. It will provide comprehensive information about the various Soviet atrocities, their historical context, and their impact on individuals and communities. Through guided tours, interactive exhibits, and educational programs, visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the consequences of totalitarian regimes and the importance of safeguarding democratic values.

While there had been actions to solve the issue [most notably 1975's Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and 1977's Community Reinvestment Act], it was still highly prevalent in the private industry, bypassing the protections that had already been placed on the banks. In that manner, the Fair Housing Equity Act was a groundbreaking piece of legislation aimed at eradicating the harmful practice of redlining in the United States, seeking to make all forms of redlining illegal, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic background, had equal access to housing opportunities and fair treatment in the real estate market. By addressing the systemic discrimination embedded in housing policies, the Fair Housing Equity Act aiming to promote the fostering vibrant and equitable communities across the nation.
      ----[X] Prohibition of Harassing Pursuit in a Moving Vehicle Act [ $10,000,000 ]: This seeks to establish a law that treats pursuing someone in a moving vehicle in a harassing manner, such as for taking photography, as a punishable offense due to the endangerment it poses to the public. This bill draws parallels between this behavior and drunk driving, as it forces the targeted individual to drive recklessly and at high speeds to escape, putting everyone at risk. The proposed legislation includes clear definitions, severe penalties, and provisions for aggravating factors It also emphasizes public awareness and education about the dangers of such pursuits and establishes reporting mechanisms. The punishment for harassing pursuit shall be the same as the punishment guidelines for reckless driving, with severe and escalating punishment for injury, death, and repeat offenses. By passing this bill, California aims to deter this form of harassment, promote public safety, and hold offenders accountable.

    Besides the required bribery of the state (sorry, Lobbying) its because California is one of the few states in the union that allows citizens to petition to get a law on the ballot.

    so the best way to get that, is by advertizing the fuck out of it.

    Yo know Weird Al has written My Bologna and has has some radio play on The Dr. Demento Radio Show in 1976 at age 16. Dr demento plays on KROQ-FM which serves LA.

    He is scheduled to write and release Another One Rides the Bus", a parody of Queen's hit "Another One Bites the Dust" live on the show in Sept 14 1980.

    (thanks wikipedia)

    its not out of the realm of possiblity for bruce to hear the play and invite Wierd Al to do a version of TMZ early with a differernt song.

    Also if we want some easy content to fill a channel stealing MTV's calling card early is not a bad ideas. The thing about music videos is while shorter each individual video has a lot more repeatability than any specific tv or movie being able to be replayed day after day or multiple times within the day. as needed. just monitor the songs popularity.

    I suggest we create Goose Muse(ic) as Lucasfilms music arm, use downtime with ILM and other Lucasfilm departments to crete music vidios to take advantages of econmomies of scale and try new animation fliming and sound tricks on a targeted audience. translate the ones that work ot fulls cale production in movies or tv shows.

    Carrie Queen Elvis Michale Jackson and Wierd Al might be intrersted and that certanly makes a solid core. meing the station that relaunches ELvises carer in a new format after his come to jesus moment from amrican graffiti could be a really nice achevment for Lucasfilm and a solid shot for respectiabilty.

    ---[X] George Lucas, Hero of Hollywood: Wait… George, please for the love of god tell me what is going on, and why are there so many cameras!? DC: 40 Rolled:D100 => 100=10=90

    You and George looked at the cameras, and you sighed. "What is this George. A new Camera?"

    "Just smile, wave, and don't say anything Bruce." George said, realizing that you were being the skittish introverted one. "Mike isn't here to save us and do all the talking."

    Great. "What is this about?"

    "ILM." He said, and now you realized what exactly was happening. ILM was practically George's baby, and that meant he had to be here.

    And the reporters were ready. "Mister Lucas, what do you mean in a recent statement that you were going to lower the cost of ILMs services for other films with budgets lower than a million that are not affiliated with Sony and UA, would that not be counterproductive."

    "I know exactly what I said, but most major studios can pay for our services for the films that they want to make. Most independent filmmakers that are working today are almost always struggling to get the effects for their films, and always have to nickel and dime, and might do things that may hurt themselves and their crew. I see it as a way to maintain a level of safety for those filmmakers that are wanting to make it into the industry."

    Holy shit George. It was genius. He'd be getting every kid with a camera wanting to work with Lucasfilms forever if he pulled this off. But there was also a problem… they'd have to expand ILM to another building.

    "What is the reason for the recent expansion of ILM's Headquarters out of LA, and into San Francisco and San Rafael?" Never mind George already did it.

    "We are looking to bring in the best people who want to work on films. Simple as that."

    Oh.

    George you beautiful man!

    "Why is mister O'Brian here?"

    George laughed. "So I didn't make a fool of myself."

    Low blow George, low blow.

    Reward: George has expanded ILM behind everyone back, using part of the War Chest to do it, making it so that we have enough people to do… well hundreds of films per year with the staff on hand, as well as… well to put things mildly, making him a friend to every indie director in Hollywood, as well as many who aspire to be filmmakers.

    Every year after 1985, you will gain a director, or a producer free of charge as they join Lucasfilms.

    ---[X] Mike Eisner is Angry: Mike smiled. "We finally got the fucker." DC: 50 Rolled:D100 => 93

    Mike smiled at the security camera that was playing. "You set up a camera in my office?" You asked.

    "Only to get my point across that someone is breaking into your office and stealing company secrets." He said with a smile, as someone indeed was coming into your office that wasn't you, Mike, George, the Directors, and the Janitorial staff.

    It was a young woman with a camera, who was taking a picture of practically everything, business reports, scripts that you wer writing, ideas. Everything.

    "Do we have a name?" You asked.

    "Janet Howe. But I did some digging and called in a few favors and it's an alias. Her real name is Jessica Moore."

    "Jesus it's like we're in a badly written spy novel." You said.

    "You're telling me. But the thing is, I called in a buddy at Universal, and a Jessica Moore is on the payroll. Now, two and two together."

    "Industrial sabotage and espionage… Jesus, why would she risk her life and liberty for that?"

    "You'd be surprised. Lot of people, as you may know, hate you." Mike stated.

    "I know that, but why my office in particular?" You asked.

    "George never keeps any of the schematics here in LA, only keeps them in a safe at the ILM warehouses, where only he knows the combination. Everyone else brings their stuff home."

    You almost swore. You tried to keep work and home separate. Otherwise, it would just get too much for you, and you would not allow that stuff to appear.

    "Well? What are we going to do?" You asked.

    Mike smiled. "Leave that to me."
    ---------------------------------

    The Headlines said everything.

    Industrial sabotage at Lucasfilms, Perpetrator captured by Police while trying to flee. Mike Eisner Vows suit!​

    Hiring Mike Eisner might have been one of the best decisions that you have ever made.

    Reward: Universal fucked up. And now they are dealing with a vengeful Mike Eisner.

    Hopefully they win the suit while you deal with this stuff.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ---[X] The Dreamer Dilemma: Tomino has brought up something that is a bit… frightening to you. One of the directors, or rather one of the assistants of Dreamworks, wants to to make a project. The problem is he wants your approval for… Project Macross. What the heck is a Macross, and why does it sound cool? DC: 30 Rolled:D100 => 59

    Shōji Kawamori was one of Tomino's assistant directors, the man in charge of just coming up with many things.

    But now, it seems, that he had ambitions. "Alright, tell me, what do you want?"

    Shoji for his part just pointed to a picture from Eagleman. It was an f-16.

    "Okay, what does that mean my friend, I don't get it."

    Shoji was quiet, but instead pointed to a VHS player and it showed a rough cell of a mech turning from an f16 to a giant robot.

    "I call it Macross." He said. "And it's awesome."

    You agreed. "What do you need?" You asked.

    "You're blessing, and that of Tomino-Sensei" He replied.

    "You have mine."

    Reward: Shōji Kawamori and a small team of animators have begun Project Macross.

    Tomino approves!
    --------------------------------

    ---[X] The Directors Hold Court: So you are invited to the Directors Meeting. Steve, Francis, and Martin gathered to celebrate the successful completion of another film. And Talk about stuff. DC: 40 Rolled:D100 => 32

    You almost made it… but you also had to deal with several incidents involving the California laws being passed in your name…

    THat took time away from a fun party.

    Failure. They are holding it next month to make up for it
    --------------------------------------------------

    ---[X]Distributing Deals: Since you have a Distribution Company, or rather, are one… You can meet the major movie theater companies and strike a Deal with them. Even when you had nothing to offer them. DC: ???
    ----[X] The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady. It's the 30th anniversary of the film's release and Rosie O'Grady is special for being Debbie's first film where she had a casted role. Give it a re-release to honor Debbie and make for a nice birthday present. Rolled:D100 + 20 => 116

    Damn, Debbie really got the star treatment.

    (Continued in The Daughter of Rosie O'Grady)
    -----------------------
    ---[X]Importing Foreign Films: So… you may have a way to get some films showing in American Theaters. Maybe you can go to other foreign film industries and… well, ask to distribute their films. Sure many of those foreign film companies never expected an American company to distribute their films in the US… but maybe you can get money without producing them. (Linetail where you try to get films from, and if there are any specific films, line tail them below) DC: ???
    ----[X] Romania. Sergiu Nicolaescu. The interim and first President of Romania until the elections come November, Sergiu Nicolaescu is a legend in Romania not only for his leadership in the war, but his movies which makes him akin to the George Lucas of Romania, or at least that's what Romanians like to brag about. His films mostly follow Romanian history and are rumored to have been the best of the Eastern bloc. Now that Romania has joined the West, see if you can distribute Nicolaescu's films for Lucasfilms, helping to share Romanian culture with the world. Since you're on parent duty, perhaps negotiate through the Romanian embassy if Mike or others can't fly to Bucharest. Rolled:D100 => 52

    Sergiu was pretty happy to meet you and has basically opened the keys to the kingdom for his films.

    He also said that he would love to see a Romanian Film again uncensored… and maybe Star Wars.

    And you did just that.

    Reward: Romania has opened its doors for distribution… though they have one condition. If possible, the next Dracula movie will be set in Romania.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    ---[X] Simple and Sweet Again: Joe and Sarah are your responsibilities tonight. Time to make the most of it. DC: 30 Rolled:D100 => 51
    ---[X] Mary Has Some Fun Times: You saw Mary emulating Bruce Lee on the Kermit Box… and it was rather… funny to see. DC: 40 Rolled:D100 => 31 (Autopass)

    Joe and Sarah were honestly quite reasonable tonight. They were sleeping and you were able to just relax at night on your couch.

    However, what kept you up was coming from MAry's room. She was… watching Enter the Dragon, a copy of the VHS, and constantly moving back and forth, watching a few scenes with Bruce doing some kata's and fighting, and trying to copy them. Thankfully with her room being so big, and Mary so small she wasn't in any danger of hurting herself besides falling over.

    "What are you doing Mary?" You asked as you saw her try to throw a punch, and failing.

    Mary fell over as she saw you. "Dancing!" she proclaimed. "Like Bruce!" She than pointed to the TV.

    You smiled as you turned it off. "You know you can really hurt yourself if you do that. What if you hit a wall, or hurt mister Kermit?"

    "Then I'll say I'm sorry." She said.

    "But do you know what you're doing?"

    "Silly Dancing that Brandon does?" She says.

    "No, you emulating something very dangerous, and it could hurt you." You stated. "If you want to do that, at least have me watch over you so you don't get hurt. Promise?"

    "Yes, Daddy." She said quietly, looking down at your feet.

    "Good, now go to bed." You ordered.

    How did she even learn how to use a VCR? Was it Carrie?

    Anyway, you shut the door and heard your newest ones crying again. Lord give me strength.

    Reward: Mary is trying to emulate things she sees on TV… and you think that it might be best to teach her before she hurts herself.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ---[X] Grandparent Dilemma: Debbie has a few… things she needs to talk about. DC: 40 Rolled:D100 => 28

    Debbie saw you sleeping with your kids, and just left a note saying that it could wait.

    But not too long.

    Failure.
    --------------------------------------------------------

    ---[X]Being Better: You are going to be better at the whole Media thing. DC: 60 Rolled:D100 => 10

    Mother… You can't do this crap!

    Carrie is so much better at this than you were.

    Failure.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------

    ---[X] California Lobbying:
    ----[X] The Fair Housing Equity Act [ $5,000,000 ]: While you'd always been faintly been aware of such practices in the abstract, it wasn't until you'd been approached by some many of the affected after the John Henry premiere that you realized the full scale of the problem and it just caused your Irish blood to burn. While there had been actions to solve the issue [most notably 1975's Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and 1977's Community Reinvestment Act], it was still highly prevalent in the private industry, bypassing the protections that had already been placed on the banks. In that manner, the Fair Housing Equity Act was a groundbreaking piece of legislation aimed at eradicating the harmful practice of redlining in the United States, seeking to make all forms of redlining illegal, ensuring that every individual, regardless of their race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic background, had equal access to housing opportunities and fair treatment in the real estate market. By addressing the systemic discrimination embedded in housing policies, the Fair Housing Equity Act aiming to promote the fostering vibrant and equitable communities across the nation. Rolled:D100 => 6

    To think you thought you had more friends in the state than you thought. But the dog whistling, along with several real estate companies in California, and across the nation decided that this law would be an end to them all…

    Well, the law was voted down and voted down hard.

    Failure: Seems you have a lot of people who think you are pushing things far to hard, and they are fighting back against it.
    ----------------------------------------

    ----[X] Prohibition of Harassing Pursuit in a Moving Vehicle Act [ $10,000,000 ]: This seeks to establish a law that treats pursuing someone in a moving vehicle in a harassing manner, such as for taking photography, as a punishable offense due to the endangerment it poses to the public. This bill draws parallels between this behavior and drunk driving, as it forces the targeted individual to drive recklessly and at high speeds to escape, putting everyone at risk. The proposed legislation includes clear definitions, severe penalties, and provisions for aggravating factors It also emphasizes public awareness and education about the dangers of such pursuits and establishes reporting mechanisms. The punishment for harassing pursuit shall be the same as the punishment guidelines for reckless driving, with severe and escalating punishment for injury, death, and repeat offenses. By passing this bill, California aims to deter this form of harassment, promote public safety, and hold offenders accountable. Rolled:D100 => 100

    But other wise… that other law passed unanimously. Maybe now the paparazzi will leave you alone.

    Reward: THe Law passed. Expect the paparazzi to finally leave you alone for a bit.

    • 😖OOF! Good fucking lordy, those rolls were dogshit. Thankfully nothing truly bad resulted from this unless you want to count losing the Writers Room for the rest of the year, although they aren't strictly necessary and it allows us to make more of our backlog, but it's still not great.
     
    We should first probably start a lobby group or a think-tank with our allies in the republican party ( I think the faitfull coalition or something) and the general public before we do another politics vote.

DC: 0 (The writer's room will be taking a break until December to help John get through his War Epic) Rolled:D100 => 5

    Well, the Writers Room basically left for Seattle. And there was nothing more to do about that.

    Reward: The Entire Writers Room is now unavailable for the rest of the Year, till December, as they are helping John.

    ---[X] George Lucas, Hero of Hollywood: Wait… George, please for the love of god tell me what is going on, and why are there so many cameras!? DC: 40 Rolled:D100 => 100=10=90

    You and George looked at the cameras, and you sighed. "What is this George. A new Camera?"

    "Just smile, wave, and don't say anything Bruce." George said, realizing that you were being the skittish introverted one. "Mike isn't here to save us and do all the talking."

    Great. "What is this about?"

    "ILM." He said, and now you realized what exactly was happening. ILM was practically George's baby, and that meant he had to be here.

    And the reporters were ready. "Mister Lucas, what do you mean in a recent statement that you were going to lower the cost of ILMs services for other films with budgets lower than a million that are not affiliated with Sony and UA, would that not be counterproductive."

    "I know exactly what I said, but most major studios can pay for our services for the films that they want to make. Most independent filmmakers that are working today are almost always struggling to get the effects for their films, and always have to nickel and dime, and might do things that may hurt themselves and their crew. I see it as a way to maintain a level of safety for those filmmakers that are wanting to make it into the industry."

    Holy shit George. It was genius. He'd be getting every kid with a camera wanting to work with Lucasfilms forever if he pulled this off. But there was also a problem… they'd have to expand ILM to another building.

    "What is the reason for the recent expansion of ILM's Headquarters out of LA, and into San Francisco and San Rafael?" Never mind George already did it.

    "We are looking to bring in the best people who want to work on films. Simple as that."

    Oh.

    George you beautiful man!

    "Why is mister O'Brian here?"

    George laughed. "So I didn't make a fool of myself."

    Low blow George, low blow.

    Reward: George has expanded ILM behind everyone back, using part of the War Chest to do it, making it so that we have enough people to do… well hundreds of films per year with the staff on hand, as well as… well to put things mildly, making him a friend to every indie director in Hollywood, as well as many who aspire to be filmmakers.

    Sucks that we can't have the writers til December, but I guess if we pump out high enough concepts and detailed scripts we'll get completed scripts so not a total loss.

    Damn, George is really set into making himself into the Jesus of filmmakers. I guess it's good we're still keeping the Indie scene alive instead of just being part of the Sony factory system. Also that one director and producer joining each year is insane. That means that by 2025 we'll probably have like 50 directors and 50 producers on payroll if none of them die or retire. Hope we can use this to get the greats of the 80s and 90s.

I don't know when we can begin production of a Dracula film soon as Blood Origins had a pretty clear ending and all we'd be doing is just a retelling of the famous Dracula tale. Maybe Lucasfilms does a live action adaptation of Castlevania? If nothing else I wouldn't mind having more films set in Romania.

    Also this kind of makes me think that in the Cyberpunk lore that Lucasfilms as a Mega Corp just dominates the Irish and Eastern European economies like how Militech does with the NUSA.

    Hope the Debbie thing isn't too major that failure would be catastrophic. Don't know why the DC is so high when Debbie knows Bruce loves her and would probably be amenable to whatever she wants, guess it's just anxieties about being a grandmother or her acting.

    The Housing bill is a big OOF but to be fair kind of expected since this is 1980 California. Also fighting Redlining is kind of a bitch to do because there's a crap ton of legal loopholes to jump through, not to mention this is technically a done issue with the Civil Rights Act of 1968 as detractors may argue. Well, while the banks and Big Real Estate may own Sacramento, we can always turn this into a ballot proposition to force it into law with wide popular support. Should we put this on the ballot for the Primaries or November, or is it something we should pass to fight for bigger issues?

    Hey at least we kicked those paparazzi shits in the balls with this law and we can be unbothered for the short term.
