Success

Rumours of corruption

You spread a story that [Leader] is actually Mr Iron. ("Why do you think no one ever hears it speak? It's just a person in a robe.")

Failure

Less effect than you might hope

You spread stories that [Leader] is stealing from the public purse; […] that [Founding Body (informal)] was not a volunteer and that a grotesque ritual murder was the foundation of [City name].

The trouble […] is half the Tracklayers believe these calumnies already. […] why are you spreading it around, anyway?
