Another advanced technique is to instigate a full-scale mutiny in one organization or another, or else change their operational goals to meet your own. This is easily done: simply find the most charismatic members of that group, determine which one is the least resistant to our methods, and then either convince him to take full advantage of his charm to get the group to do what he - that is, you - wants, or blackmail him into encouraging others into doing our bidding. Groupthink is a terribly easy thing to manipulate, wouldn't you agree?

Some of you might be relishing the idea of having your own private army via this method. However, you should keep in mind that this technique is best-used as a one-time-only tactic, such as when you wish to create a diversion using disposable pawns. You would wish to maintain more control upon it than, say, a "flower" you just twisted and left to grow, and with so many people to keep track of you might find the whole thing rather taxing.

But please! Don't let that discourage you...

("By the time the blood purge was over, half of their number remained, and they struck out to take over the entire Necropolis much, much too early. Needless to say, I had a lot of explaining to do, and the Gardeners were all ears for days on end..." - Master Jovis Fortunado)
