Ask a bank to bail you out.

SCREW THIS. Villains are different from good guys or neutral people, in where THEY CHOOSE THEIR OWN LIMITS. At least the most sane, visionary ones. I will not gloss over the freedom of moral choice of some of the more depraved fools that share the "villain" name with me, but... I choose my own limits, and my freedom is as big as I want.

This includes earning respect by whatever method is best. Saving a cat up a tree ? Fine. Kicking your opponents in the balls ? Fine. Removing all morality dilemmas from your mind and focusing on your task ? Hella fine, and that's what a real man is.

No no, I'm talking strictly in terms of practicality. If people witness you beating the crap out of someone, you'll get a good handful of people who fear you and won't defy you later on. If you resort to underhanded tactics, people will think you're weak. And it doesn't matter if they're right or not - a large enough uprising bolstered by enough confidence is going to be a problem for you.

A large enough uprising can also be bred by enough people fearing you by you beating some, and deciding to gang up on you to switch the power dynamics the other way.

Also if they go against you in a group, you can call a Not So Different on them and tell them they're weak because they must gang up on you to have a chance, and that they are just afraid of you alone but must rely on groups to bolster their will.

And of course, any gossip of you being supposedly weak by using underhanded tactics must be met by swift eradication of the gossip, usually with a punch to the face and a bit of talking maybe.

His tax money bailed THEM out. An eye for an eye, and so forth.

*ahem*

A government funded free Grammar school where you have to pass a hard test to get in.

School's creditability? What?

Passing a hard test to get better education sucks. If you aren't very good at school then surely making it so you can't get a good local school due to some limiter is pretty stupid, no? It is not necessary and is a discouraging and archaic system; I know many people who are dedicated to education but aren't great in terms of school performance, so sticking the good schools out of reach is pretty dumb, considering the amount of potential you throw away in the process.

I go to one of the better state schools in the UK with some of the highest offsteads in the country and I enjoy myself. Why it is necessary to use a limited system like the Grammar system is beyond me when perfectly decent systems exist that are far more open and perform nearly as well.
