[Social Engineering] "I could bring down your Government with six words."
Greetings, all!
I'm curious: what are the ways to replicate this feat in GURPS, especially as a grand feat of social engineering?
Spoiler:
A short sentence said at the right moment to the right person ultimately results in a PM receiving a vote of no confidence after a while. Now, I know it's tempting to just say that it's an Affliction with a Negated Advantage, but that doesn't seem to accurately reflect what is happening here. It seems like instead of a very narrow brute force ability, the scene was an illustration of a character deeply specialized in social tricks ("Talking. It's what I do!"). So what is it? Some sort of Propaganda success by a ridiculous margin? If yes, any way of estimating how much of a margin is required to replicate this or similar feats? Or perhaps this is something different? Thanks in advance! |
