The Election

The Plot

Most campaigns have a player who loves to play politics, involve her in this. Assume for the sake of argument that the goal is the office of district attorney. Enigma has ambitions to be the DA, the chief force for justice in Gotham. He is opposed by Buck Stevens, son of the founder of Stevens Brick Co., which is the second largest employer in Gotham. Darla Stevens is in love with the Enigma's alter ego, Bing Strawberry, and keeps telling him he ought to get in politics and make sure her slimy brother doesn't achieve political office ... etc etc etc you get the idea.

Some complications that suggest themselves are:

1. Enigma discovers that candidates must turn in petitions with 1000 names in order to register for the election, and he blew it off so long that he needs to get them all tonight, to be turned in at 8 am tomorrow morning (where do you get 1000 valid signatures at this time of the night?)
2. the primaries are a good time for enemies to show up with embarassing photos in hand
3. election season can be complicated by reporters who circle, vulture-like, over the troubled campaign HQ, and by a televised public debate between the candidates
4. the election and the aftermath -- did the PC win? What will happen to the party now? What if the press finds out about the vampires the party staked a few years ago in the abandoned buildings in the ghetto? what about the crook who recognizes Enigma's voice and threatens to publicise his secret identity?
