I mean, It looked cool at what you would expect from it...

(Black and White Penguins, Mini Penguins, Puzzles, etc)

but then, it was just "Wait for 25th February to re-do the Cave Maze and Unplug the Machine"

...

That was the operation...

That was basically it...

I mean, it sounded humorous to just "Ok, nothing hard, just unplug it"... but so anticlimatic...

And also, it looked it would result in some huge chaos because the machines were draining the color of everything and making things tiny.

But nah, it looked that i am hearing herbert saying "Nah bro, it was just a prank, i don't gonna drain the color or make everything tiny and change the island"

I wouldn't even call that thing a operation, i would call it like a mini-party like "Talk like a Pirate Day" or "Red Nose Day".

Or just a normal party. Yeah So the problem is, it played out more as a joke than a serious operation. Even Herbert unleashing his doomsday device is played off as a silly running gag. "Oh no, we are doomed, but at least we can make fun out of it!"

Compared to the better operations (i.e. Operation Blackout and Operation Puffle), it lacked the thrill and feeling of danger. Exactly.

I mean, when a operation is called like Operation: Hot Sauce or Operation: Hibernation you don't really think some serious danger until you see the operation, lets be honest. (Well, none of those really had danger to begin with) (Well, the Hibernation when you try to build a chamber and break the alarm when Herbert is sleeping, but that is just that)

But when a Operation is called you know... Operation: Doom, and when you try to login, you see a photo of your most "dangerous" villain in the screen and the first message you see when you enter in the game is "Stop Herbert before he changes the island FOREVER!".

You start think like: "Oh NO! HE GONNA CHANGE EVERYTHING, HE GONNA DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT WE LOVE!" "Now this is serious business people". But then you complete the operation watching penguins making fun of it and you say like: "Oh... so thats is the operation... ok... that... that... went... very quickly i guess..."

Not only because of the name, the name and the things saying "change the island FOREVER!" is just 10% of the problem.

But most of the problem i would needed to repeat myself and what Watasuki said in a few posts above.

Unless Herbert in the future says "NAH, I CHEATED ON YOU... I CHEATED ALL OF YOU, THAT WAS THE WRONG MACHINE, DID YOU GUYS REALLY THOUGHT THAT IT WAS SO EASY TO STOP MY PLANS? WHAT A FOOL YOU ARE." We can say that this operation was the opposite of "good"... or opposite of "best".
