Plebeian's Guide to Reinstating a Republic (A Reference for the Rest of Us)

Chapter Three: Spreading the Word

Hello, everyone. My name is Caius Cassius, and I'm filling in for Brutus temporarily, since he missed out on most of this stage of operations. So, my plan is to list various methods of assembling your co-conspirators to kill those men who dare to call themselves better than you. Here they are:

Lies/Exaggerations:

This method is effective when dealing with naïve, morally-upright men. Make them think that killing the dictator will benefit your country as a whole, not just you.

Manipulation:

When dealing with idiots, make them think that they have to help kill the dictator, or be considered a wimp.

Taking Advantage of Circumstances:

If you come across someone who was personally wronged by the dictator, remind them of the sweet vengeance that would follow his death.

Bribery:

Offer them power/money/whatever. If your friend interrupts with a well-reasoned argument, hit that friend and keep on bribing.

What to Do Next:

As if I know what the next chapter is about. That's Brutus's thing, and even if I made a suggestion, he wouldn't take it. He never listens to me. pout
