Lovely thought...

don't have the infrastructure to support it. Problem with the discipline system: Not a lot of possible penalties that promote proper behaviour.

Understood. However, the gamer in me starts to wonder about alternate victory conditions. They are used to this being a struggle with an authority figure. There is probably an informational "warfare" method possible to get inside their language and recast the interaction to suit your purposes. If they listen at all, or will talk about something they care about, it might be possible to negotiate in their interests for attention.

Basically, I think the sales/support/diplomacy method of matching someones semantic and then using it to control them might be an unexpected, and thus more effective tool to use.
