The power plant has already constructed and operates 4
nuclear reactors. You have moved into action against every
plan of constructing nuclear power plants, but in vain.
Now the percentage of townspeople who are sure to
support you is 5%. 10% of townspeople show their opinion
that they agree with constructing and operating reactors.
The rest (85%) are careful to show their opinion, and some
people among them must want to support you with a proper
understanding of the purpose of your movement, but they
hesitate to do so for the reason that 4 reactors have been
already in operation, they owe employment or some benefits
to the power company, they are afraid of residents
supporting nuclear power plants, and so on.
In this gaming scenario, the variety of residents is not
considered, and you makes approaches to collective residents
(" general public") through movements for enlightenment
etc..
