Ten good pieces of advice if you pretend to be a "good" and "powerful" politician.

1. Go where the smell is stronger. Politics smell, everyone knows and here the ODOR is just epic.

2. Try to divide your political enemies (in and out your party). This can be achieved many ways. The oldest one is to offer some advantages to some over others and let envy spread among them.

3. Control what it is said. A good example is forums.erepublik.co.uk.

4. Don't speak or write anything, or as less as possible, anything said can be used against you. And if you're enjoying power what's the point of spoiling it. Lowest profile, always. Stick to technical data or general help, ever discuss on philosophy or argument prone issues, leave both for your home loo.

5. Be nice with the powerful guys in the block. Follow italian mafia guidelines and show respect.

6. Don't be intelligent. Bosses will like you for obeying them and being their nice doggy, pretending to be more clever than them is a damned bad idea. Being intelligent provokes envious attacks and isolation.

7. Be ambiguous. Being ambiguous makes it impossible for enemy to attack you. Being ambiguous may go as far as choosing an woman image to represent you, if you are a man. Or an alien proctologist if you are an earthling. If you are firm you're granting a hold to the enemies to attack. Be like water my friend.

8. Be patient. Like in Mafia you'll get higher and higher, just follow orders, stay silent and wait.

9. Look generous: gifts, pieces of advices, ... Just make sure your donations and gifts are widely known by all people.

10. Support others, even if you think they're fools, This is specially useful in in-party politics.
