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.

I would go out of my way to look as non-threatening as possible - down to wearing white if I can. If I deliberately look harmless, they may find me non-threatening, and could be more peaceful than otherwise.

What? If I have to look like Snow White, I should be able to use it to my advantage.

I'll keep that in mind.

She has a very valid point.

And perhaps, if I might say so, a tactic you have used yourself in the past?

Heh. Stupid Trade Federation.

I'm not disagreeing, just making note for future reference.
