The art of writing a mandate is as delicate as it is devious. A well-crafted mandate can crush your enemies and make your enemies' enemies your friends. But, beware, for the wrong words can lead to catastrophe.
Example Mandate:
# Mandate: "You shall not pass... the donuts"
# Target: The Snack Room
# Trigger: The Snack Room's infamous "Free Donut Fridays"
# Effect: Immediate donut-withholding protocol engaged
Remember, a good mandate is like a fine wine - it only gets better with age, but not with too much time.
Now, go forth and craft your own mandates. May the odds be ever in your favor.
