| rowspan="4" valign="top" |The controller has a stack of paperwork on his desk that <Sim> has been asked to read through and assign priority levels to the tasks. About halfway through the stack, he/she finds some speeches that the controller has been asked to edit. <Sim> has an okay eye for syntax, and he/she knows how busy the controller is, so he/she could try editing them himself/herself, or scan the speeches into his/her word processor and run the grammar check on them.

! colspan="4" |3) Lobbyist
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |<Sim>'s consortium has asked him/her to meet with a member of the Senate and lobby him/her to vote against the Llama Land preservation bill. The bill will halt the construction on a major intercity highway that passes through a section of wildlife reserve. <Sim> isn't sure how he/she feels about the task. He/She could do as he's/she's told, or follow his/her conscience and secretly lobby in support of the bill.

! colspan="4" |5) City Council Member
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |The council has convened to discuss the renovation of a local park. The park is in what the mayor like to call an "underfinanced" part of the city, and though the park has some historical significance, the surrounding housing and public works are as equally in need of renovation. The pros and cons are complex, but when it comes time to vote, <Sim> has only two options.

! colspan="4" |6) State Assemblyperson
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Though State Assembly members are not up for re-election in the upcoming elections, members of Congress are, and <Sim>'s local district doesn't have many strong or seasoned candidates on the ballots yet. <Sim> is happy with his/her current position, but the step to Congressman/Congresswoman is one he'd/she'd like to make at some point. He/She doesn't have the experience that most candidates do when running for Congress, but he/she does have a good public following. Should he/she run for Congress, or take his/her publicity and back another candidate of the same party affiliation?

! colspan="4" |7) Congressperson
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |A bill has found its way to the Congress floor that if passed would designate large sections of undeveloped waterfront as wildlife preservation area. The Canary Breeding Ground Bill would be a no-brainer for <Sim>, as the SimCity Canary is an endangered species, and its habitats has been increasing encroached upon as the City steadily expands. Yet, there is an unusual amount of pressure coming from a number of special interest groups, and if <Sim> were to vote against the bill, the lobbyists would certainly make it worth his/her while.

! colspan="4" |8) Judge
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |The next case on <Sim>'s docket is a misdemeanor shop-lifting charge, which would normally involve little more than a public defender pleading out the defendant, and <Sim> assigning a small fine and some relevant community
service. But the defendant in this case is none other than the Mayor's favorite niece, her pride and joy, and the bane of store security guards everywhere. The young woman has been hauled into court more times than <Sim> can remember, but each and every time, the judge involved dismissed the charges on the basis of some technicality provided by the young kleptomaniac's high-priced legal staff. The case is cut and dry. The girl is guilty, but when it comes time for <Sim> to render his/her verdict, he/she pauses to weigh the ramifications of his decision.

! colspan="4" |9) Senator
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |As a member of the Joint Sub-Committee on Aquaculture, <Sim> has been asked to spearhead an investigation into the possible connection between the military's new sonar technology rig and the increasing number of beached whales around SimCity. The power-that-be have categorically denied any connection between the two events, but it takes <Sim> only a few hours to note that each documented use of the technology corresponds directly to the beaching of multiple whales, both in time and location. <Sim> prepares his/her findings and announces his/her intentions to present them to the Sub-Committee ASAP. En route to the Senate Building, he/she turns a corner and spots a black helicopter descending silently from only a few stories above him/her. With no time to think, all <Sim> can do is to run or hide.

! colspan="4" |10) Mayor
|-
| rowspan="4" valign="top" |Landgraab Enterprises has started a joint venture to build an international seaport that would allow the transportation of larger volumes of goods in and out of SimCity. A major principle in the business venture approaches <Sim> to buy a large tract of city-owned waterfront property for only §1 an acre. With current real estate prices as high as they are, §1 an acre is highway robbery, but the construction of an international seaport could create a lot of new jobs in SimCity. Should <Sim> accept the offer?
