Diplomacy, Relationships & Tactics: the Art of War [Tuesday, Period 3]
"Today, we are on to the ninth p'ien," Ghanima stated as class began. "So far, many of our discussions seem to have focused on physical engagements of force, mostly because many of you are all familiar with tactics in a military sense, or have become familiar with the concept through your tenure at Fandom High."
"While I am as much a fan of armed combat as the next Fremen, however, it is it necessary to learn how to apply the tactical ideas you are learning outside a battlefield."
"Last week, we tried to measure cost against outcome when weighing the human element," Ghanima remarked. "Today, we focus completely on the human component, and turn our tactical prowess to that most dreaded tactical engagement of all - relationships."
"Each of you has a slip on your desk with an assignment. You must try and follow the directions to the best of your abilities, using the tactical ideas we have discussed in your negotiations. You are not limited to your classmates for this exercise, and indeed, I shall award extra credit for each successful 'mission' you undertake. I will do my best to listen to radio and chart your progress, but you will be expected to report on your varying levels of success next week."
Yes, boys and girls, you are going on dates. "Get what you want out of the other person, without giving too much ground. Try not to end the world while you are at it."

During the Lecture
Assignment!
However, flat-out telling your target that 'this is my assignment' is off-limits. Think tactically!
