Hostage Negotiation Scams(?)

[Kito]

Supposedly, John Doe stated that you can scam/be scammed during hostage negotiations, specifically when trading hostages. If this is the case, then technically you can just scam anyone out of hostages by showing up and killing them/kidnapping the hostage negotiator, and I think this sets a bad president for negotiations;

If neither side can trust the other then why would they attempt negotiations or trades anymore? This ruling basically just nullifies hostage taking, which I think I'd be okay with but its a pretty big part of the server, especially CI.

Obviously though this entire discussion could be rendered useless if John showed up and confirmed he never said this or smthin.

shockingly this is just an opportunity for RP, but due to how shit NLR is it can go nowhere.

because imagine this: if F constantly backstab CI on negotiations, then eventually CI will stop negotiated and just flat out kill whoever the hostage is. Realistically Foundation should care about this because then more of their men are dying when they could just be bought back, meaning they would have to be selective and care when scamming CI, however NLR makes this impossible because who cares if someone dies when they respawn!

this means the most that can happen is CI refusing to negotiate with F whenever they have a hostage, which is still a form of relation RP between the two groups, but it doesnt make much sense from CI's side because why would they just let a guy die
