Huh, good point. Yes, this is basically what I do around here. It is so fun to watch people of power act as if they knew everything from a very safe position: the fool of court. How easy it would be to destroy them with their own hubris without them ever knowing it was the 'feeble' man who did so. There are so many who still don't know I was behind their crumble.

Though as you say, I do this not for control. Control is such an easy way and a very boring one. If I wanted yes-men agreeing to all I did, I would simply insert mind control here and here. No, as a chronicle gatherer, I prefer dialogues and exchanges of words to hack and slash and obtuse displays of power. As if one sought to compensate for a lacking something by blinding swaying his authority.
