JonCon's Red Beard Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 ...that could incriminate a local politician and take him out of the current run to be mayor again. I'm considering to take it to his opponent, who belongs to the party I belong and who is a friend of mine. "But, Lovely Red Beard", you might say, "maybe you're doing this for your own, not for the sake of your people!". I won't deny it. I won't deny that this could put me under a good light if my candidate actually wins and I could profit from that in the future. OTOH, this politician is very very very corrupt, and I've seen how he actually has tried to buy votes with promises, and how he has been paid to allow things that shouldn't be allowed and that are in fact wrong for the community. In fact, the leader of his party has been involved with narcotrafic and real state corruption. "So, go ahead, Beard! do it! do it for your city!". The problem is that this picture was shown to me by a friend who, when he did it, was ok. with me showing it to my people. But now, he is not. And if I do, there might be some problems for him. He says me delivering it is not ethical, as a candidate should win for his own values, not with cheating. Yet, the other one is the one cheating: for instance, he's current mayor now and he's not supposed, by law, to do many things he's doing now, like organising any kind of feast as it could be seen as promoting his candidature with money of the city. He's, of course, doing it. He also changed the date of our city anniversary to match his own birthday. And while he does that, delinquency is growing high here, and in my block, we have three assaults in less than one week: we actually saw a neighbour bleed after he was shot in the middle of the night. So... what to do? (ETA: the pic is NOT personal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch-MaesterPhilip Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Who is the better friend? The person who first showed you the photo or the person you wish to give it to? And would you have any ethical issues in regards to any potential reward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Scot A Ellison Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Rent a hot air balloon and paste the photo onto the side of the balloon several times. Float over the city using a bullhorn to draw attention to the photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kikajon Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Take the photo to His opponent before someone gets to Know that you Know and send the city Guard after you. Then they will promise you you can take the Black if you destroy the photo, but you don't want to deceive yourself...In the game of mayors you win or you die...

IheartIheartTesla Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Let him become mayor. Then use the photo as leverage to gain political favors. Has no one been watching House of Cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inigima Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'd be inclined to bring the photo to his opponent , but you'd have to weigh that against the harm to your friendship and decide if it's worth it. Why did he change his mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonCon's Red Beard Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 In seriousness, unless I misread (probable), it seems like both candidates are unwelcome. So, go for a third party (yourself?), or decide which is the lesser of two evils. To be honest, the incumbent mayor sounds better, sure he's cheating but he's more abusing the ability to keep power rather than abusing power when he has it, and the latter is worse. Again, I think I may have misunderstood, but I'm sure you'll find the best route. Good luck There is three main candidats. The current corrupt mayor, the other corrupt candidate, and mine. We're 18% now and we're getting higher. Take the photo to His opponent before someone gets to Know that you Know and send the city Guard after you. Then they will promise you you can take the Black if you destroy the photo, but you don't want to deceive yourself...In the game of mayors you win or you die... I actually thought talking first to my friend and warn him. Then, I realised Ned did exactly this and... yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
