Re: GURPS/Organization CR
All non-cinematically effective brainwashing will need coercive techniques that would be illegal.

Re: GURPS/Organization CR
What GURPS calls Brainwashing (see the skill writeup, or the longer discussion in Back to School) depends on coercive methods that would definitely be illegal. I recommend not using the word for internal propaganda.

Re: GURPS/Organization CR
The point isn't the game-mechanical CR level, the point is what you do to enforce it.
Suppose your rule is that no meat can be eaten. An employee violates the rule. Do the security goons give him a beating? Obviously against the law, and if this is not a one-off event that you can unload on those over-eager goons, but standard policy, you're in for a sea of trouble. Do you fire the employee for eating meat, or reduce his weekly wage for two weeks? You're not violating criminal laws, but you're in for civil and labor-related problems, not to mention the PR issues. Do you let him know you are very displased, since you love him so much and yet he doesn't seem to worry about disappointing you? That's OK. It's up to you to find (or, to shape) employees for which this is enough of a threat. |

Re: GURPS/Organization CR
Where of course "okay" should be understood to mean that you're probably safe from legal consequences. You're still likely to get some really bad press out of it.
