how to get rid of the "nerd blackmail payment"? looking up anything about this game is impossible lol
You have to pass one of the "problem" (=enemy) edicts in the second-floor tab. Selecting an option shows you what requirements there are in order to enact an edict.
There are technically two options for getting rid of the blackmail, but one of them requires the second-level corruption-perk for having sex with nerds, which takes quite a few battles to grind, and would probably require a slut-run, and also gives you a permanent debuff, so...
