*** for player ***

Do your best !

*** information on the actor you play ***

Now we reguard the decision of fishermen association as
the result of collective decision making process that
association members participate in. We surmise that the
executives of association usually take opinions of members
into consideration when they really make decision, but we
omit this process from the gaming scenario.

Fishermen association have to protect and improve
association members' (=fishrmen's) livelihood, considering
development of the town, safeness of fishermen's working
circumstance.

*** most important events for the actor you play ***

In the process of constructiong additonal nuclear
reactors, fishermen association is proposed by electric
power company to admit investigation and to start
negotiation over how much the electric company would
compensate the fishermen. It means that fishermen
association is concerned with the process of constructing
additional reactors on following two phases:
1) whether start the negotiation
2) whether finish the negotiation


*** initial condition of the actor you play ***

The power plant has already constructed and operates 4
nuclear reactors. The condition of compensation as much as
tha past ones will be proposed by the power company. The
judgment whether the condition of compensation is proper or
not is depend on the association members' recognition how
much is the cost for coexisting with nuclear plants.

*** relationship with other actors ***

You have neither close nor serious relationship with
other actors.

*** actions and alternatives ***

In this gaming scenario, nothing special has set up
about definite of the condition of finishing negotiation.
So, please take the relationship with power company into
consideration subjectively.
Individual opinion of association members is not
appealed. So, if some discord within the association is
brought about by external events and the negotiation faces
hard going, the proceeding of the gaming may be delayed.
Fishermen association holds indivisible 200 block votes
for election. When candidates ask you to support, you can
choose action from among following alternatives:
 1) support the candedate whose opinion is similar to
association's one.
 2) support the candedate who agree to accept association's
opinion.
 3) support no candedate ( association members vote as
townspeople).
   and so on.

Block votes is effective for the negotiation with the
mayor or the assemblymembers.

association members' livelihood.

*** notice ***

*** case study ***

In the case of constructing the Oi 3rd and 4th nuclear
reactor, fishermen association concluded an agreement as
soon as the negotiation began. But not a few cases show that
fishermen association's opposition prevents progress of the
constructing plan of nuclear power plants.
