To address the thread title, in my opinion even if it was possible to engage in mass hypnosis in a RL, controlled setting (which I doubt), how would you manage such a thing in T2K?

As for mind control, what exactly do you mean? Turning people into robot-like slaves? Beaming instructions right into their brains? Hmm, pure fantasy methinks (which is fine if that meshes with a particular campaign's style). Or do you mean brainwashing and psy-ops (which is definitely possible).

I would say that some of Major Po's methods in my campaign amount to brain washing as he has basically set up his own 'cult of personality'. From what I hear of HQ's campaign General Pain engages in much the same sort of activities. It is usually a longer term thing but with drugs and the right kind of specialists I think brainwashing could be successfulyl performed on small groups of people in a matter of weeks.
