*Record Store Clerk*
********************
____ boss puts her in charge of choosing a house band for the store. The first
two bands to audition are the Naughty Llamas and the Reticulated Splines. Both
bands are good enough, so ____ decides to pick from the two and take the rest
of the afternoon to alphabetize the store's vinyl collection by drummers'
last name
"Naughty Llamas"
"Reticulated Splines"
The Reticulated Spines are offered a a record deal barely an hour after
agreeing to play at ____'s store. The store sells out of the Spline's debut
album, and ____ gets to tell every customer that she discovered them first,
earning her 2 charisma skill points

*Freelance Photographer*
************************
In exchange for taking some digital pictures for their corporate web presence,
ALlamaInEveryHome.com offers ____ 1000 shares of their stock in lieu of his
usual fee. Word on the street is that tech stocks are good investments again,
but ____ doesn't want to get burned like he did in the last dot com bubble
burst with those four different online pet food delivery sites he bought into.
"Take Stock"
"Demand Cash"
ALlamaInEveryHome.com doesn't get a single visitor during its first day, and
the company's venture capital firm decides to withdraw their backing;
claiming lack of business model, intangible product plan, and confusing
corporate mission statement as their primary reasons for withdrawal.
ALlamaInEveryHome.com folds, but ____'s experience with the company has left
him pretty familiar with basic HTML and the Internet. ____ takes the plunge
and promotes himself to Freelance Web Designer.
************************
*Freelance Web Designer*
************************
A marketing rep ____ met while working for ALlamaInEveryHome.com is starting
up a new website dedicated to SimCity's social scene. Knowing that ____ is
pretty well connected, she's asked him to design the website, but she also
wants him to update the site with all the "coolest parties, and trendiest
places." ____'s willing to take the job and design the website, but he isn't
sure about publishing the inner circle's social itinerary. He could go ahead
and reveal all he knows, or protect the fragile private lives of SimCity's
elite and fill the site with erroneous information.
"Reveal All"
____ finds some digital snapshots he's had lying around, whips up a page with
his word processor, and uploads all the content (private nightlife and all) to
AsIfWeNeedAWebsite.com. His site is a runaway success. ____'s friends think
the site's hilarious and are pretty pleased with all the flattering pictures
he's used. ____ is contacted by a major publisher about the possibility of
doing an anonymous "Tell All" book about the nightlife in SimCity. ____ agrees
and signs a deal for $20,000.
