Advanced Negotiations

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Good afternoon

I’d like to begin by getting to know the class. If you could tell me why you picked this class... "Because I had to" is not an acceptable answer. We all have choices, whether it is clear or if it is not.

I’d also like to know what you hope to learn here.

Now, we’re going to have little bit or a writing assignment here. This won’t be graded. Yes, you have to do it as it does count towards class participation. For the next class, I want you to give me a minimum of 1 page, double spaced, answer to this question:

What do I think advanced negotiations are?

We will be discussing this next week. I think this will be a good way to get a feel of where we are... and where we need to go.

Why do I get the feeling the answers will scare me right back to Naboo?

What's the name of this planet?

Damned if I can say it. I'm guessing P3X-058 won't ring a bell anywhere will it?

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Afraid not. The Repubic's classification system differs.

Bizarre as it is, this is actually a very good, albeit colorful example, of diplomacy and advanced negotitions.

You mean I helped? Sweet!

The situation could have easily gotten bloody. You found a way around it. A strange way, but a way that left you alive.

I knew I did something right! Take one for the team and all that crap...

From what you've told us here, it sounds like this was the only course of action you had left to you that didn't end in a massacre.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Not true, but I don't think Hammond would've liked having to send in Wverka's guys to try and buy us back.

Even then, it's still not a guarantee that all would go smoothly.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you haven't seen Wverka. Come to think of it he kinda looks like robe-guy right here. But with glasses. *Looks* And older.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Robe guy?

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Robe guy, y'know, Blondie. The other one with the pissing? Didn't catch his name.

[padmeofnaboo.livejournal.com]

Oh. Interesting.

[2ls-in-oneill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he seems like a good kid.
