Hidden Loyalties

Developing loyal relationships is the best advice for starting an empire. In order to conquer your enemies, you must have allies who you can be assured will join you in battle when the day comes. High School is a battle ground, where betrayal is an everyday affair. People will stick a knife if your back the first chance they get, if it means advancing up the social ladder. It is best to keep any alliances you form hidden, so they won't be corrupted my your enemies. Getting loyal followers isn't the hard part. Keeping them loyal is. You must plan things (situations) that you know will end in your favor. If you wish to have allies, you must be able to read them like an open book. You must see them for who they are. You must get to know their personal details. You must be able to control how they affect you. Only then can a true alliance form.
