LOL i've been there when it's gone down.

J: "X amount"
me: "X+20%"
J: "X amount is firm."
me: "this is expencive buisness. X won't cover our costs. X+15% is the bare minumum we could work with."
J: "X+5% is more than enough."
Dan: "Anyone know how to use gernades? kuz I bought a whole bunch of them, and I don't really know how? what? no one?"
J:"X-30%"
me: "we'll take it."

Hee! That would be what happens when you let the goon with Willpower 2 do the negotiations. Even with negotiation 6, that goon would never get off the ground.

Pheromones and Psychology knowledge skill are your friends. Handy thing about Social adepts is not only their bonuses, but their ability to center against penalties. I saw this Social Adept who used to doodle on this notebook as a centering technique in negotiations, it was really weird.

Ah, there's that Oblivious flaw coming out, eh? Or was the player just dumb?

It was just the PC... wasn't paying attention to anything, looking over his charicture sheet... it just worked in so perfectly to the dialog, that we all went with it.

God, that's terrible. What was the actual pay for the run then?

Uhh... I think we walked away with 20K each
a little less than we wanted, and most of that went into legwork, but it did pay the rent for another couple of months to get us to the next run...

Did you ever consider using some spell of Silence on him?

Spell of silence isn't a bad idea... but we don't often play with that guy anymore (although we have started playing Shadowrun once a month- the first time was last night!)
