  1. It might be useful for a number of people to read the books "Getting to Yes" and "Getting Past No". Or read a short summary: Wikipedia article on Getting to Yes

    We all know that there will be an agreement to end the war. Some alliances will pay reps to some other alliances. The question is how much reps, in what form.

    It seems that this is a matter of looking at precedents, data, history, and other details of past wars and their resulting peace agreements and the reps that wee paid. In the "Getting to Yes" book this is refereed to as "Standards". Both sides have their own standards, and it can take time for each side to present their data, logic, argument and to listen to the other side.

    The important thing in my view is to be open to persuasion. Let's be mutually respectful and let the people who are going to do this negotiating get down to business.

    By the way, I have been to Bastogne and visited the hotel where the American commander wrote the famous "Nuts" reply.

    The difference is that Patton was heading up from the south with the Third Army, while on Planet Bob it seems unlikely that a few fresh alliances will jump into this war.
