Contract Negotiation Bug (I think)

[heppy1972]

When I am looking to extend or offer a new contract to a player, I see their request of what they want... So I counter with a new deal and usually they come back with a slightly lower demand on money... I counter again with lower amount, and if I keep doing this, while I watch their negotiating attitude, eventually they will ask for less than what my previous proposed contract money offered was... This has been re-produced over and over again, and I think I saw it in FHM11 too... I can do a loom video to show it if needed.

Yes, I have seen this consistently as well, I only started playing in version 11 and I had the same issue there.

Yes, this has been persistent for a while now - I'm assuming maybe it's tricky to get around as it's been reported a lot with examples both here and in the beta forums. It's frustrating - tbh the whole negotiation mechanic could use a little revision imo.

I think the first contract offer amount proposed should come from me, the GM (not from the player), then the player should respond with what
they want, then we work to an agreeable amount somewhere in between.

Yeah I like that idea
