But say owning enough stock IN selected companies to sway the vote a bit is different there are other ways to control that are far more subtle and keeps the clans hands clean.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Exactly.  :)<br/>_____________________________________<br/><br/>The chronicle I referred to below also had an interesting situation in which the Tremere clan named a Regent for the city, but the Prince named someone else (my character) Tremere primogen.  Which worked out nicely since the Regent was Auspex/Thaum focused and the primogen was Influence/Dominate focused.  And they worked beautifully in playing people -- for instance, the Regent promising help to people, but hedging by stating that he'd have to get that approved by the primogen as well and vice versa.  Garnered them quite a few favors with little to no cost in the long run.
