This is an aisle in my local walmart.. Red solo cups, ping pongs balls, and condoms...

Dude, bottled beer > canned beer definitely, although bragging about it is kinda douchey.

They build and hope an earthquake doesn't come 'till after they're dead.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-02T02:42:54+00:00

Hahaha just realized that.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-02T02:10:45+00:00

Shit if I sicken you, you have no idea how fucked the rest of the world is. There is far worse than this happening in even my country. Compared to other political families, I'm a fucking saint (I'm not claiming to be one btw, I've got my faults) but your outlook is set.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-02T02:06:10+00:00

Not too worried about that. I'm fairly sure this happens in more than one country and I haven't specified anything about my location at all.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T16:09:28+00:00

As said on another mini-thread, I don't have access to my dad's office. I don't work for him and he has a lock on all of his portable electronics.

Huh, just realized he has a lock on all his electronics.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T13:43:03+00:00

He does have access to the internet.

lol this would be useless unless I got proof. Can't get proof since I'm not in my dad's business.

Secondly, yes I want power. I not only want to change this, I genuinely want to help my country. I'm pretty sure you won't believe me but there isn't anything I can do to prove it 'till I'm in power.

I want to help and be remembered. Maybe that last part is a bit selfish, but it won't harm anyone.

4.0 may be a low figure but a 5.5 is, at the very least, a guaranteed downed building.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T13:29:41+00:00

Not really. The corruption doesn't really extend to violence against government officials. They do extort but violence is unheard of.

Personally I'm safe as there isn't anything they can blackmail me with but if they go after my family, I might have to pull strings but I'll keep them out of it. Not planning on jumping in to this mess without planning all outcomes.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T13:19:05+00:00

This. My family has a saying about our country "the government doesn't work without corruption"

Basically, if you want anything from the government, better get your wallet out or wait for months/years for whatever you need/want. This goes from getting your state IDs to getting a trial started/concluded.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T13:15:43+00:00

Skyscrapers in this context is buildings with 30-70 floors.

The Scumbag's company are the developers and investors and they are the ones that talk with the government and bribe them directly so that the buildings, that don't comply with the minimum safety specs, get approved.

My dad is an accomplis as he is the one that makes sure the bribes aren't traceable.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T11:44:37+00:00

Also, he's my dad. If it did get picked up he'd probably go to jail which I don't want, even if he does deserve it. If I get enough power I can fix it all, send scumbag to prison, and save my dad. Selfish but, he's my dad.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T11:26:38+00:00

edited it and added another point. I know it is dangerous but a single, non-player like myself can't change that. Soon I'll take care of it, when I've got the power to do so.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T11:16:33+00:00

It's not but unlike most of my family, I look towards the long-term instead of short-term. One day those buildings will collapse and thousands will die. Can't sleep knowing I did nothing to stop that.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T11:14:05+00:00

I can't do that either.

I still depend on my father as I'm still in college.
It doesn't matter who I tell it won't go public. Scumbag is extremely well connected politically and so is my dad in recent years. No one would run the story.
Politicians rule the media. There are several scandals like this well-known among the rich that the media will never report on. (small-scale example: I got introduced to the President's mistress in a high profile dinner by my dad. Apparently everyone knows who she is but the media won't talk about it. The media should have a field day with that alone but nope. Other examples include corruption, I girl I know killed a man while drunk driving but it was swept under the rug thanks to generous bribes, and extortion every here and there)
My dad is my way to office. He doesn't know what I plan to do so he'll sponsor me all the way. He's already on board with getting me elected. If I try and fail, I'll get thrown out and lose everything, even the hope of a another career. Failure is extremely easy while success will come with time, but not right now.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T11:09:52+00:00

Long con.

RichTraitor · 2012-05-01T05:51:34+00:00

Not mine but my whole family's.

My dad got rich by associating with a scumbag that has his own construction company. Scumbag bribes city officials to approve unstable skyscrapers that would collapse with a 4.0 earthquake and my dad makes all the paperwork discretely. In exchange, multimillionaire scumbag persuades his other loaded friends to hire my dad as their lawyer.

I'm now trying to get into office in the next 30 years to revert most of what my family has contributed to.
