Scenario Replication Third Troika (Or why I will call my son Kazuma)

Hey everyone,

Let me share these very interesting scenarios that I found in the Playstation 2 videogame "Yakuza"; this gives you an interesting insight on how these organized criminal families scam and mug and intimidate their victims.

These scenarios were posted a loooooong time ago on the Senshido forum, but I've decided to rework them and give some pointers on how to improve on their wickedness:

The Knight-in-shiny-armor-falls-asleep Scenario:

This setup uses the male victim's need to be a hero and save the damsel in distress. You will need the following: A pretty Female TP, the designated “victim”, a regular looking bad guy TP, a couple of passersby, some location that looks like a busy street next to a small alley, a location looking like a shady bar in that alley, a barman TP, a bouncer TP, a few shots of your favorite poison (I like white sambuca :D)

The designated victim walks the busy street, when a pretty woman comes to him and says "Please help me, this drunk guy is following me and won't take no for an answer". The drunken stalker comes into the picture and starts harassing the girl verbally, and the latter further pleas for the good guy’s help. Since the other guy looks like a tiny twig and is also drunk, the victim's dic... euh ego swells and he tells him to fuck off in one way or another. The drunk leaves the other way and gets into a shop or a cab. The grateful girl hugs and kisses the good guy on the cheek and says she wants to thank him. If the good guy rejects the advances, the girl hugs him again and tries to pickpocket him. If the good guy doesn’t notice this, he fails. If he notices and tries to reclaim his things or is accusing or aggressive, the woman will scream “He’s a pervert! He pinched my butt” and passersby will intervene. One of the witnesses is a bad guy, who will push the victim around and tell him “She’s my sister you fuck, if you don’t want this to get ugly, gimme a some money”. Failure at deescalating will result in him pulling out a knife of gun and use it to further threaten the good guy.

If the good guy accepts the hot woman’s invitation, she takes him into the dark alley’s bar to buy him a few drinks, and get to know him better. The drink is poured and the barman asks a question, while the girl spikes the shot with a salt pill (hey, don’t use real drugs such as valium or you’re in for some baaaad hangover. Salt pills work just fine, as the taste will be a dead giveaway that you have been royally screwed). If there is no opportunity for spiking the drink, the girl will try to get the good guy as drunk as possible in as little time as possible using flirting (drink this shot off my breast, blab la bla). If the good guy notices her or the barman spiking the drink and refuses to drink and confronts either, the bouncer and the barman will try to escalate the situation and start a fight. Barman has a shotgun under the bar, girl has a knife, and bouncer is unarmed but can grab a stool and smash someone’s head in with it.

At any point in the bar scene or fight, the original drunk guy and the two passersby can make an entry and try to stir some shit, the drunk trying his antics again by harassing the girl, the passersby trying the stare-me-down routine, etc. Hell, be creative! Run with it and let me know!

The Unwilling Groper Scenario:

You will need two perps, a guy and a girl. The girl bumps into the victim who is speaking on the phone with his boss then screams "He groped my ass!" The "boyfriend" comes over and threatens to take the good guy to the cops/ beat you up/ whatever, unless you give him money (between 50 to 150 USD). Go! Both bad guys have either a gun or a knife.

The Glassman Breaks Scenario:

3 or 4 guys walk around looking for someone to bump into. As soon as one of them bumps the victim, he falls to the ground screaming "My shoulder! He dislocated my fucking shoulder! I don’t think I'm gonna make it!" (Haha!) The faker’s buddies start hollering "Oh my God! You broke his shoulder! We need to take him to a hospital! Give us a ride/ money/ help us carry him to a cab/ pay the medical expenses!"

If you cannot deescalate, try to give them valid reasons to visit the hospital Mwahahahahahaha!

The Contact Lenses Crusher Scenario:

The victim walks around in a not-so-busy street and passes not far from someone seemingly looking for something on the ground. As soon as the victim passes by the perp, he screams "You crushed my contact lenses! I had them ordered from Germany! You bastard, give me 200 USD!"

He is armed with a knife that he will pull out if the good guy is not cooperative enough. If you cant deescalate, I suggest you fix the guy’s eye problem with a deep gouges.

Well, that's all for now, I am gonna think of a few more scenarios and post them right up!

BTW, “Yakuza” is a good game, not perfect graphically or game play wise, but still very interesting. The story alone has nice twists and turns and the scenarios alone are worth the purchase.

Take care and post comments, flames, death threats, etc on the forum or on the blog.
