Re: [Social Engineering] "I could bring down your Government with six words."
What about this?
Perhaps what we're looking at here is an absurdly high level in a Wildcard social skill (e.g. Talker!), used first as a substitute for Psychology to read the relevant parties' personalities and see how they would react, then Politics to work out what the likely sequence of consequences and ramifications are, maybe then Propaganda, or similar, to work out how best to spread the appropriate rumor given those variable, etc, etc. The Wildcard skill is also providing points that can be used to buy successes - and these points are being spent so as to make each of these rolls a critical success.
Waddaya think?
