The Emperor - Diplomacy and Negotiations

I've been spending the week's vacation I just had on exercising my skills at three things - sleeping, reading and manipulating people online and off to do my bidding at games and tests of skill. That's right, not eating... I'm malnourished but not hungry nowadays for some reason.

But back to business. I play wargames, games of grand strategy, tactical games, real-time strategy... but where I shine is wherever people meet together and words, not skill at arms, decide the outcome. I have a way with words, they say, but I like to imagine the strength of my words arises from the strength of my perception. It's simple to say the right words when you know what they are, is it not?

Currently, I'm a barely-adult student who hasn't chosen a major yet. I'm also engaged at peace negotiations between four long-opposed star systems. I'm leading the Pact of Steel against the Entente, except that Russia is much stronger than in real life and aiming to destroy both us and the Western powers. I'm leading a fleet of warships in space against a dreadnought the size of the Moon, with psychic weaponry capable of feeding our crew lies if we do not keep our shields on. I'm commanding a group of rebels against a galactic hegemony of a female caucasian tyrant, invulnerable to age, immune to words and barely killable by a nuke.

It's interesting. It's fun. And, may I say so myself, I'm damn good at it.
