Advanced Negotiations

Scenario:

You are to attend a diplomatic meeting with a historically hostile party. This party has had a long history of violent confrontation with your people and has a reputation for dishonesty. Yet, the rules of conduct for this mediated meeting are that no one be armed nor display anything that could be construed as aggressive. What do you do? Explain your reasoning.

If you can persuade them that a neutral third party is an advantage, then you should conduct it with help from them. The location agreed on needs to be neutral, with access only being allowed in at a certain time. Before then would violate the accords agreed on prior to the meeting.

The representative party needs to know how to defend his/her self without weapons. Although their reputation is for dishonesty, you cannot presume that they will break their word on this occassion, and for you to break the agreement first will allow them to increase hostilities, thinking that they are in the right to do so.

Very good, very thorough. You speak as if from experience?

Oh, come on, just say what I do. "That's classified." If Parker's around she'll roll her eyes at you. *laughs a LOT*

Normally do! I think she was just so far back in her memories that she felt "normal" again, and then was like "huh? what?" *g*
