1. Why is more required today to make an Illuminati citizen than in past times?
With the Introduction of a New Democracy, more is needed to stabilize and legitimize a government. This is the natural progression of Order.
2. Why is bad to be inactive when citizens depend on you?
When you are inactive, then you are unavailable to the ones that need you. And being unavailable means that others will no longer depend on you.
3. If a person has only intellect, but no character; how can this be a bad thing?
Books and Learning go only so far, but with no character you have no personality, and with no personality you are not memorable.
4. Why would giving too many details in a plan be a bad thing?
Too many details would give away the element of surprise. Always keep people guessing
5. Based on the description of an Apex Citizen, is the Director an Apex citizen? Why or why not?
I believe that our Grand Chancellor is the perhaps the closest to an Apex Citizen in our Region, But there is always room to grow and to shape yourself.
6. How can a citizen avoid the faults of their government if they are a government member themselves?
One should hold themself to a certain Ideal, and stand by that Ideal, no matter what.

Its the ego and the pride that gets in the way of Morals, Stay honest and Just and you wont become the thing that people fear.
8. What does the phrase 'as theaters of good breeding' mean in the 8th Seal?
To learn through the experience of others that succeeded is a sure fire way to get a good bearing, a jumping off point for your own ambitions and desires.
9. What is the point of using trickery in war?
Keeping the enemy guessing. When you don't know what's coming, you're less prepared to deal with it.
10. Why would stagnant oligarchies be considered a bad thing to Illuminati?
11. Is it acceptable to play "the card the opponent expects" if that card will lead to a victory for Illuminati?

13. What are the weaknesses of others referring to here?

14. How can sarcasm work unfavorably toward the person using it?

Exaggeration is a form of lying, and lying is never wise or appropriate.
17. How can long-winded speeches be bad to a person with a natural ability to lead?
The longer the speech, the more likely someone is to check out. Keep your speeches short and concise. Keep them on tangent and you'll keep your audience captive.
18. How can not contradicting your opponent turn out to be a good thing in an election?
As My mother and Many before her have said, if you have nothing wise to offer, a closed mouth is smarter than an open one. Its better to be silent than to insult others, and by insulting someone you may ostracize the people who were once going to vote for you
