Lights... Camera... ACTION!!: A Hollywood Quest

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
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.

Fine, I'll switch it back.
As a voter for your plan I would prefer that you keep the acquisition for the adaptation rights of PK Dick novels, even switching other actions like Workout and A well Known Fan to take advantage of the autopass to acquire companies and/or adaptation rights or for networking.

Let's be honest @Kaiser Chris we are mostly voting for your plan because we don't want to do the Hong Kong thingy, so as long as you don't change that most of your plan voter are going to be fine...

Go forth and give unto others chaos this holliday season, would you kindly?
3 accounts created in the span of a couple of hours with only post in this thread regarding a highly contested vote...

Sorry if you are the real deal but this reeks of being blatant sock puppets...

Like thanks for joining in.

I made an account just to vote in this quest.

Thanks for joining.

It would be nice.
 
Time to have some good news:

Eddie fisher: D100 => 6

Eddie Fisher is going to go to jail for dui manslaughter for 3 years.

The final nail in the coffin for Eddies gaslighting and manipulation.

Just for three years? Damn, he had a max of 30 but I guess this is usual Hollywood justice BS and Eddie must have OJ's lawyers or something. Still, this does effectively ruin his career forever as no one is gonna listen to his songs and no studio will want him in their movies. It's one thing to be self-destructive like RDJ, but actually killing someone and ruining several lives via DUI is tough to redeem yourself from, especially when Eddie himself is a real piece of work.

Did Carrie at least extend the restraining order to the kids? They definitely don't need to meet Eddie until they're adults, though later on I can see questions on why they only have one Grandpa.

If it was just one account Magoose then no one would think anything of it. But two accounts joining within an hour and then voting for the runner up of a close vote as their first post, then followed by a third account two hours later whose first post is also the vote seems pretty suspicious of Sock puppets. On Alternatehistory's RPG forum, 9 times out of 10 this would usually mean sock puppets. For now I'll just leave it to the mods to sort out on if they are truly three separate IPs and people and I apologize if they are. But you cannot deny that this is at least worth some investigation.

Hey, any one who joins is welcome, but as I said before what is suspicious as fuck is that 3 lurkers join in the span of a couple of hours...

You have to admit that something is rotten in Denmark...
 

Eddie while being all depressed and moody that his kids don't want anything to do with him because he was a manipulative asshole went on a drinking binge and caused a major DUI accident that killed someone and crippled a kid for life. Even with how lenient California law is on intoxicated manslaughter, only three years is insane leniency. Dude probably assembled half the OJ Dream Team 15 years early.

i think he had a car accident while drunk some time ago ?
Im curious who he bribed to only get three years,or maybe it's just because he is a conservative rich with guy in hollywood

As far as I'm aware Eddie was never involved in political activism in his life, and considering he endorsed LBJ in the 1964 election odds are he's a Democrat. I don't think there's any politics involved unless the Judge was a spiteful Brown supporter who rigged the trial in Eddie's favor. More than likely Eddie just bought the best defense that money can buy and standard Hollywood corruption and preferential treatment gave him leniency whereas if Eddie was a normal dude he'd get the maximum sentence. Eddie may have gotten off lightly, but he's lost the court of public opinion and will be blacklisted and hated for the rest of his life unless Universal is stupidly vindictive.

Did the victims at least get some civil compensation?

The thing is twofold:

Eddie had a helluva legal team.

The judge was lenient.

There has been an extension. However only for five years.

1,000,000 dollars.
