I think we should spend enough so that it is increased, but while we have 1 point higher than him.
Before, we gained 1 TP for spending 7 TP in a short time; spending 14 TP on this tomfoolery should net us two points (unless it's by percent TP spent; then we'll need one more point). Also, he will be practicing too, and thus spending points too, so even if we spend three times as many points, he'll run out before we do.
Maybe we should just let him train himself while we slowly brainwash in things that involve him always serving us and the like. Also that we are a prophet.
Take our friend with us to the airport, mind screw a pliot on a light aircraft, got to Somlia, screw withe the govrment, take overcontry, conquer the world
:( :[ :\ Even if we reach 10000 TP, we can only control so many unwilling people at a time, and our control damages theirs minds, either turning them into either a constant TP drain or relatively useless warm bodies. Why do we not teach instead of brainwash? It worked for our first acolyte, and that way future acolytes (like the pilot) can still do things without our supervision (or the more bothersome direct control), and show some initiative for the interests of the Cult of Clear Thought.
I mean, why can't we just bring people to our side through
understanding overwhelming then keep them there through our
sheer awesome? So when we do go find a pilot, lets start by looking for one that would already be favorable to our goals; someone who would be willing to take up work somewhere warmer with only little prodding, and would soon take up the teachings of our future Cult.
