6. Do not Refuse
It is considered dishonourable to refuse an offer. This is because to refuse an offer suggests you had a prior obligation to accept.
If you refuse they will consider this acceptance of the offer, and now you have failed to complete your obligations.
Failure to complete your obligations now means you have accepted any recourse and punishment, usually in the way of a fine.

This one maybe you should add the "conditional acceptance", to make more sense.
Another weird situation is when you get an "invitation" to the court #548516
That also could be interpreted as an "offer". I personally rebut it by sending back a letter to the court with a "counter-offer".
Once, I asked the judge: am I obligated to receive the letter invitation from the court?
And the answer was simple: NO, nobody can be forced to receive a letter.

Perhaps the counter-offer is the best way to go. It puts the ball back in their court, where they can be dishonorable. Dickering can go on forever.
Although, making offers in bad-faith can also be interpreted as being dishonorable, I think.

sure. Always stay in honor

Then, it becomes impossible to refuse their offer, sooner or later, right?
There has to be an off-ramp from that railroading highway.
What might that be?

Who did you use this on? Looks like it would work with BAR people well.
