Cutthroat Capitalism: The Game

I keep failing at negotiations. I guess my tactics aren't very sound, I am going to try not being so nice.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

It's not rocket science. I was up to $950,000 profit in 8 attacks before I got bored. Highest ransom paid was $8,000,000 but I usually got between 4 and 5 million. You're a pirate. You have to mix up "Feed/Cordial" with "Threaten/Aggressive" and throw in an occasional "Beat/Cordial" to show them you mean business. Also, don't just stick to your original demand - be willing to drop it down.

I can't ever get the negotiator to adjust his offer one bit. So I started just killing people and he'd immediately give me whatever I wanted.

I start high, and go with feed/cordial, then threaten/cordial, which nets me about $10 mil. Cute little time waster.
