I'd say that you've become a "follower" if *all* you do is augment (or give AP to) other people. So the follower rules apply - one level worse than one of the people you augmented. Worst off, best off, the narrator gets to choose (not much choice if you only augmented one person...).

If you augment people for a while, then jump in and participate directly, the "follower" status is superceded by "participant" status and you suffer whatever you individually suffer.
