This post is more for me recalling later and finding errors in my method while writing, than explaining my actions to others. Either way here goes.
I started by going into the pub, it was a friend of mine's university leaving get together in the pub his dad owns. The way I see it is if i'm going to practice gaming I may as well start in a room I already have high social proof.
I walked in, greeted the doormen, stood around a little, when a HB8 went to walk in between me and the doorman, I just said 'sheesh, are you always this rude, i'm kinda talking here', she replied 'ohh, sorry.. what's it about'. 'I'm being friendly as always, can never get to know too many people (;' at this point I said bye to the doorman and entered the club with the HB8 and her friend chatting and getting to know them. On the way in to the bar I had 4/5 handshakes and could tell the girls were getting interested, one guy asked who the girls were I just said 'god knows but this one likes me..' at this point the obstacle looked out of place so I continued conversation with her and introduced the guy and HB.. This guy is now winging me without knowing it as she's asking who were here with and it's most people in there. She knows i have social proof.. MM is being pulled off. I lead the bar group over to the tables we're at after we all got drinks [I didn't pay for theirs, paid separately] with my arm around the obstacle, the HB getting a little jelous.
Long story short, the 6/7 girls there were all loving it. I sat in a group of 4/5 guys that were on their phones looking bored and did the 3 rabbit race routine and the cube on 3 guys at once. Then hypnotised a guy outside, monitored all activity in the room and me and my buddy were just on top form game, going up to outsiders and bringing them in to everyone, convincing everyone to get drinks/shorts [helping the owner as well as getting everyone in the party mood] and just went pefectly. Going to a 250/300 capacity club tonight to try gaming something a bit more upmarket.
Anyhow, on the way home I was walking with 6 guys and 1 girl [a GF of one of the guys]. The guys were singing football chants at 2am [aston villa FC] and a wolves supporter who'd had a few too many started really going for it. Following us down the road saying it's wolves territory and he'l make a phone call and sort us out.. at that point I turned into Mr NLP and was like..
Me: So.. You're phoning your friends?
Jerk: Yeah, where are you all going, we'll be there!!
Me: To get pizza, and have fun, where you meant to be going this late? [aiming to distract his drunked state]
Jerk: That doesn't matter, you'll all get what's coming to you
Me: So.. okay, we're going to get pizza, you stay here and have your phone call, and we'll see you later.
Jerk: Yeah you will.. [messing with his non working phone]
Me: Good luck with that. You have fun with that, anyway, pizza's waiting. bye
He followed us 400 yards down the road to the petrol station and confronted me and a quiet drunk guy i'm with who didn't even function well enough to argue.. The follower still acting tough and asking which of them is making the noise [it was barely antisocial behaviour noise, they're nice guys having a laugh while walking home] as he was going to beat them up. He also wanted me to fix his phone.. which is a bit stupid since he was planning to use it to phone people to get at us
he really did think we were that stupid. Anyway, we proceeded to get pizza before the place closed, and he continued following shouting abuse that made little sense. I knew at this point he had followed us from one end of a high street to the other and if anything happened there were 6 of us, 1 of him, and the police would know that he followed us all the way [his fault] and the girl was talking with me and the guy i was with at the petrol station. I'm not tough but this guy wouldn't even need violence to treat. Instead of ruining his night [and face] like most guys would I wanted him to leave and have a sense that he kinda won. As he overtook me and the people at the back and started emerging on the front 4 I followed close to his back incase he threw a spontaneous punch and I could follow up, at this point 2 more girls and another guy had caught up from the same pub so protecting the girls is aim #1. It came down to basically;Me: So, what are you actually planning from following us, as we know you're not going to hit us.
Jerk: I've had a shit night alright, don't get cocky
Me: So, you're going to take that out on us? [expecting him to come to his sences]
Jerk: Yeah, if my phone was working you'd be dead right now.
Me: But, due to it being friday the 13th, the phone's not working, and you're ruining our fun. We're here, having a good time, making the mot of our night, and instead of you having fun too you're making the night worse for yourself, am I right? [at this, he tried to snap back so I stopped him from speaking and aid again a little more forward]
Me: Don't try and think of anything, just answer the question.. do you like fun?
Jerk: Yeah. Corse I do but.... [interupt again]
Me: Okay, and you understand we're having fun?
Jerk: Yeah I suppose but... [interupt again]
Me: And there's nothing wrong with having fun is there?
Jerk: No.. I guess not. [can tell he's thinking, he has no comeback now]
Me: Well, I don't know about you, but i'm getting pizza. You can carryon trying to patronise us, which isn't working and is only making you feel worse, or.. you can join us and have fun.
At this point, he went from wanting us all dead to being our best friend in about 2 minutes.
He explained on the way he had a falling out with his woman, who's pregnant and expecting a christmas baby! But.. he cheated on her before he knew about the baby, it's his and he felt like shit for cheating on her, but he dumped her after having a few so he didnt have to tell her about the cheating [counter productive imo]. So I anchored all these feelings into a bottle of pop I was holding [I like NLP, and I had a couple drinks, I talk better with new people that way]. Then I was like.. 'so really, all these problems are stuff you can deal with, granted you shouldn't have cheated but ending it isn't the way to go. She's the mother of your child now and ending it will only make it harder for you when the baby's born. Am I right..?' he come to terms and you could really tell he was taking everything in, it was helping him realise what he'd done, as well as what he could and should do next. We were helping the guy who wanted to kill us.
The problems, I added.. could all be thrown away, but that wouldn't solve anything, and it's wasting whats inside [the drink]. The best way to egt rid of the problems is to tackle them one at a time, and then when you're ready to end it, do it on good terms [by this point i'd drunk the drink and threw the empty bottle]. His mind was blown, we got pizza, he asked where the party was going after this, and after saying this was the party, we parted ways and he left back the way we came with a smile on his face, knowing what he had to do.
As for me, I gamed 6/7 girls with strong enough kino and attraction so when I see them again I can trigger that attraction and continue gaming them [could have got 3 number closes. one's going uni this morning and the others i'll see tonight]. It's at the point where they'd serve as great pivots with jealousy plotlines.. which isn't a bad place to be for tonights antics!
