Negative reinforcement has no effect on me what so ever, to continue to attempt to use it only pisses me off. This is why the chat government in the THDF story where wrong, they where to stupid to figure out their are some that can only have their loyalty granted them with positive reinforcement. This caused those who have the disability of not being able to surrender to turn into multiple classifications of rebels.

If you want me to surrender the only way to get me to do it is diplomatically. If you can't manage to get me to come willingly I will not come at all, and will see to it if possible even my body in death is not captured. I am of the belief that except in a survival situation, such as competing for food or other pre-civilization class wars, if someone is not worth dying to escape being ruled by them one should not consider war with them nor martyrdom in the first place. If coexistence is avoidable or a way is found life can be worth living when its inevitable then the war should be brought to an end. That is the purpose of war and martyrdom in the first place, to explain with action that unless things change life is not worth living under the modern conditions a follower of a cause find them selves in, and that one is willing to die or kill for their cause.

But, I am also of the belief that no side can have only irredeemable evil people among them, and at all points they should be given a chance.

You are a officer of my enemy? Lets negotiate. If I find the terms agreeable and worth it I will join the empire I deem to be evil, aka google. If reasonable terms cannot be found, then the war will continue until the death of my influence.

Are you willing to negotiate?
