You bunch of silly romantics. TAKE THE $200m. It's TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS in money! For nothing! With no risk! Now that I think about it, why are we supporting this post-modern colonial warlord anyway? Angola for the Angolans.

Tell Von Hoff he has a chance to grab a cool 200 million if he's willing to send a unit and one of our Shilkas to St. Helena on one of our cargo planes. Leak the offer to the world press. Send a bouquet of black wilted roses. Under no circumstances are we to take the offer. Also two things: Is there a 5 mil expense I missed on the payout? The bonus is 61 mil, and the weapons expenses are 55.5 mil, so it feels like the final payout should be higher. Also, by my count, our side now controls the majority of the Lithium mines in Angola. Neat.

Also because we haven't killed Reddit yet and I'll be damned if we cut and run until the streets run red with the blood and we hear only the sobbing of their virtual waifus.

I mean, there's technically ways to ensure payment. He could put the money in escrow with a Swiss bank; they're not within the bribe range of a tinpot dictator. Even so, stay.

So, idea on the dictator's offer: if we're willing to not keep that money, we can gently caress him over and send a message to future employers. What we do is we pull our people out of Angola, while "selling" our assets to the Count. We fly to Paris and collect the diamonds. Then we fly back to Angola, "buy" our stuff back with the diamonds, and publicly thank the dictator for his $200 million contribution to the County. Edit: Obviously we tell the Count about all this first. The Sandman fucked around with this message at 19:30 on May 7, 2017 |

Not according to every cool mere video game and comic book. The backstabbing snakes are always the highest paid, getting the awesome contract and screwing over the good guy protagonist faction. We could easily manufacture a breach-of-contract. You're soft, this whole drat outfit is soft. We need cluster napalm and hospital pavewaying and TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN DIAMONDS.

Tell the Dictator to gently caress off. We're Staying. Besides if we prove we're reliable to any future employers, we can leverage that for better pay.

I might be a corruptible mercenary bastard but even I say we reject the offer and run all of Angola for our own profit once we boot the Dictator out. Or if not the whole country, at least we keep as many lithium mines as we can as an investment for the future. It's good to diversify the company portfolio to include profits from mineral wealth. Buys us more goodies in the long run than some diamonds would. PS: Shoot down all helicopters, loot the wreckage afterwards. Just in case.

Putting aside personal morals or professional standards, I'd never take a bribe from a dictator so incompetent he can't defeat crowd-voting goons. To the bitter end and for Von Hoff, Gunnes!

I would advice against any attempt to screw the dictator out of his bribe money. While it would be funny, it would set a bad precedent and may make other people who might otherwise be willing to make a deal with you, second guess that decision.

This is a matter of somebody explicitly trying to get us to breach contract as an organization. We want to send a message that this poo poo is not acceptable in the future. Bluntly, the dictator is insulting us. We don't tolerate insults. If he wanted to directly negotiate with the Count to buy out our contract, or if the Count was stiffing us on our paychecks, it would be a different story. But he's not, and we gain more from making it clear that we stay bought and trying to gently caress with us over that means we make you a laughingstock.

We can craft a card with some words to the effect of NO. Sooner or later the Dictator will try to fly a plane or whirlybird out of the country with the diamonds and all the cash he hasn't squirreled away in foreign bank accounts. Therefore, summa summarum, in final words: Omnes helicoptera delenda esse.

So he's gonna hide a Bell 525 full of diamonds next to a tourist landmark in Paris? Good luck with that. Stay and finish the job, dictator's proposal stinks.

We need a video put up on all the usual social outlets of us doing a box opening of this offer, followed by a pack of hyenas laughing. Cut to cardboard cutout of Delvanios holding the briefcase. Cut to Kfir or Gripen streaking overhead. Another cut to the cutout getting blown to poo poo with a paveway. "Hayard Günnes, you can rely on us."

Third possibility would be to take the bribe and offer our Gripens to the count for $100m.

At this point I'm wondering if we want to target the Free State next. The dictator is pinned down in Luanda whereas they have free reign to inflict anime on the poor public. I bet with one good bloody nose they'll be sent running.

Don't take that bribe! We'll make far more money staying in, plus ruin our future employment prospects if we leave. Finish the job we've been paid to do!
