I call it "The Dance," I got that term from my dad. Its what happens when you can obviously tell someones giving you the andswers that they think you want to hear, rather than just straight andswers. I used to do it to him all the time till he called me on it.

Sometimes its enjoyable to watch someone dance around you for apeasement. This is usually when you've been shorted or ripped off and the connection is doing his little dance to appease you. Offering compensation well beyond what you would want or expect. Of course, its all on their honor. Sometimes thats worth something. More than often it isn't.

But completely unrelated to the game, some people just dance for whatever fucking reason. I'll admit sometimes i lose my temper, but often im more apt to because someone wont quit dancing with me. You have to dig and pry and ask specific questions to recieve even a bit of the biased information. Even then, sometimes you can call them on it, and they play dumb, and that is much more insulting. If your a good liar, and can give the proper amount of bias, keeping it a subtle game sometimes you can pull off the dance. More often than not though, its someone who can't lie, and you can see through it easier than a junkies lie.
