Have to stick your arm into a lot of cows.\n\nDelivering votes:\n* You are a campaign manager and you have to increase votes for your candidate. Run ads (including smear campaigns), book interviews, coach your candidate, leak dirt to the press, organize doorsteppers and town halls, tv debates\n\nDelivering souls to the afterlife:\n* You are Charon, delivering souls across the river Styx.
