In all fairness, they've got quite a few before '03, and I honestly don't bother with most of the newer ones, since my computer's a piece a' shit. Eh, whatever.
Yes, but you gave a link here for all people. Your computer has nothing to do with it, my friend. It's not that your finding is not appreciated. It is. But rules are rules, and a world where no rules exist, is a world of chaos. Chaos is bad. Rules are good. Let's respect the rules, please.
Delacroix, stop contradicting yourself. Corruption can give way to a new system. Systematic corruption is the most efficient way to overthrow a system.
Systematic Corruption gives you no options unless it reaches the Peak of the System. It's as if you were trying to access a server without a proper clearance. Corrupting only the bottom of the System is a mere nuisance to it - you NEED to corrupt its Peak to succeed and incapacitate the System and thus overthrow it to create a System of your own. For we are slaves of the System to a degree that cannot allow us to live without A System. So, after overthrowing a System, you have to create a System of your own to - quite simply - maintain your very sanity.
Systematic corruption is the easiest way to "climb the ladder" from the bottom to the top.
Corrupting the "peak," as you say, alone, will do nothing. The lower regions will still thrive independently, and resist.
The full success would then require placing multiple agents on all levels simultaneously and then systematically corrupt the entire system, function by function.
