There is a lot for you to learn
This is pure manipulation I learned this tactics in school....
You offer the other person a problem with 2 bad solutions, that leads him/her to 1 only road..... the road to negotiate a 3rd solution that you already have in mind

and you are just waiting for the right time to say it.
So it goes like this:
Thacker: I'll give you 12 CL
iEvo: No thanks,
Thacker: you are a pussy that wont race my even when I give you 12 CL
If iEvo accepts it will be agreeing to Thancker's statement, so iEvo has to not agree to it.... but how can he denied with out setting him self for failure.
iEvo: No thanks, and I dont need 12 CL.
Thacker: well how about 7 on the motor <<< at this point thacker has him where he wants him.
So let's put it to work:
1- I call you out to a dig run that I know you will decline.
2- you decline...
3- I start the BS and call you names, and talk about your GF so I can bring you in to my territory
4- you follow me and call me names and blahhh blahhh blahhhh -I got you where I wanted -
5- I "acted" like I'm seroius and make to state ments that rolls over 30mph are for pussies that don't know how to drive and that dig runs are for cars that are set-up right....
6- To you it looks like you can choose for a dig or a 20mph race..... But to me is the exact race I wanted from the begining
I WON
We all know that Thacker will not do a race where he knows he has the upper hand by at least 20% <<<he has said it him self ~who wants to do a race that you know you are going to lose~ >>>
The only way to deal with people with such a advance manipulating skils is to get them to drown in their own dimise...... Or just play their game for fun.....
