To be honest, Stanley needs resources and allies because right now he's a hippie living in a cave under a bridge (har har) in Central Park. He could be living like a king with proper use of the Thumb, but like I've said, Stanley is stunted in more ways than one. He would just need someone to show him how to use his newfound cash and minions friends.

Yes, Kefka is ridiculous. But I'd say that making someone or something that is already overpowered even more overpowered would be acceptable if the result is bound to be entertaining. >:) And I'd like to jump at the chance to have Stanley do the influencing for once, even if he doesn't realize he's doing it.

It's what happens when you think in terms of "If I do this, what is likely to happen?" rather than "how overpowered is too overpowered?" But things like that are why we have planning posts. :)
