Events have come about that have prompted Carman Rajani to run against Oseph Menhemes yet again for mayor of Otari, as well as one of my PCs entering the race. Carman has the Cooperative Blade and Oseph's daughter is safe (but this has cost him both focus and funding for his campaigning). My party is currently exploring the Prisons on level 7, and the election I set for two weeks hence.
How would you run this election? I am leaning toward two political debate mini-games wherein my PC-candidate makes skill checks against the other two, with options for the other PCs to assist by working the crowd, digging up dirt on the opponents, glowing testimonials of the PC's deeds, etc.
I want to make this fun and interactive, but I am cool with anyone winning. It would be especially devious if Carman was in the lead as the team nears the end of the Prisons, don't you think? Mwahahaha...
Advice appreciated!
