Maybe over here would fit better?

Whatever you do, there will be some sort of irrefutable action in your games, the ultimate alternative to a negotiated agreement. In that it?s an alternative to agreement, its results do not vary with counterparty input. Pretty often, that earns the name killing. 

?Heithur? is fundamentally a game about the Icelandic lawcourt approach to moral justice. It?s just, er, when you tell a bunch of people to play Vikings, some of them get into the spirit of the thing. 

Blood, Love, and Rhetoric is fantasy 1776; I?m not even sure it has rules for killing, but the negotiation depth is astounding ? and there for nearly every player character. Absolutely wonderful. I am sure there are rules for punching John Adams out on the debating floor. 

There?s corporate negotiation in lots of other games, but it?s often surrounded by mob/gang/Jedi violence and murder.

Of course I cannot use the usual Guild mechanics (I don?t wanna teach killing to my students? yet), but I can definitely get inspiration from the setting, plot or characters.
