Hire a sabateur to destroy tapes
Hire a vandal to trash a studio
Hire a theif to steal tapes
Hire a murderer to kill an audio engineer or a band member
Hire an investigative journalist to "dig up dirt" on other record companies and their signed artists

Now keep in mind that...

It is very unlikely for you to be successful in these events. Murder is especially unlikely to be pulled off smoothly
There is a fair chance that you will "get caught" in which I will post your evil doings on the forum and you will lose popularity and credibility.

If you would like to do one of these actions, please PM me and tell me what you want to be done. This way the acts stay secret until somebody is either successful or caught.

You can also bribe bands to ditch old labels and join you, but that will easily backfire.

I STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU AVOID THESE ACTIONS MOST OF THE TIME. They are for dire situations only. Please do not abuse them or this thread will become an assassination fest and I will lock the ability to sabotage others.

I'll go ahead and try to book him a gig at The Park, just to start out.

I'll put all the odds on the table right now having to do with sabotage so there's no controversy later. I will be using digital dice at random.org to determine the outcome of sabotage.

Destroying tapes:
Success rate: 1 in 10
Getting-caught rate: 1 in 5

Trashing a studio:
Success rate: 1 in 20
Getting-caught rate: 1 in 4

Stealing tapes:
Success rate: 1 in 30
Getting-caught rate: 1 in 5

Bribing a band:
Success rate: 1 in 30
Getting-caught rate: 1 in 4

Diggin' Up Dirt:
Success rate: 1 in 20
Getting-caught rate: 1 in 10

Murder:
Success rate: 1 in 100
Getting-caught rate: 1 in 2

Sorry I was away for so long. Thanksgiving was in Rural West Verginia this time, and I had no internet.

So, in recent news:

- ViZionARY would like to release their album
- Meiser wonders where you will book them for their live performance
- Shiloc Shamoo's performance at The Park gains a small crowd, albeit no revenue
- The Young Virtuosos perform with their younger members in the studio for the first time
- Evil Monkey wants to record some new tracks in a better quality studio
- The Bass-Holes found a studio and will be leaving the draft pool

Noooooooo I was just about to audition the Bassholes. Is it alright for one more to join this? If so, Gilded Pimp Studios snatches up Little Miss Prissy and tells her the first step on the road to fame is going by Lil Miss Priss from now on.
