So... he should have yelled,"Shoot the Yakuza!"

That WOULD'VE worked, had the NPC allies of the runners not also been Yakuza. :D Yeah, it was a complicated situation.

QUOTE (inkspot)
The examples given regarding the commands to "Riot!" or "Get Naked!" don't really apply since the power states that "the target will use his next action to either carry out the command or stands confused", and "such commands carry no weight beyond the immediate impetus, and the affected characters will quickly reassert their wits, returning to their original course of action."

See, I know what you mean, but I think I'd disagree with the idea that the riot would last only a few seconds. The moment you yell "Riot!" the whole place is going to go nuts, and that kinda thing, once started, would be really hard to stop. The larger the crowd, the more stupid and dangerous it is. If most of the place started waving weapons around or attacking each other, even for a few seconds, the whole thing would snowball.

God, the damage a social adept can do!
