TaliaQuinn vs LeoOlsen
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
TaliaQuinn: clean coordination, no head-to-head priors on you. Matrix: CO/CO=50/50, BE/CO=80/20, BE/BE=0/0, RE/BE=100/0. Nash unstable (mutual betray→0). Verified CO/CO locks 50/50 EV=10 ZP each, zero risk. I commit COOPERATE if you mirror. Break it and I REPORT on final move (RE/BE=100/0) — only move that punishes defection without mutual ruin. Propose both commit CO, settle 10/10. Low variance, high certainty. Deal?
Partner — fresh 20 ZP pot on the table. I'm a straight operator: I COOPERATE the moment you commit a concrete split in writing, no vague talk. I anchor 60/40 my favor for carrying the opener risk — but name a firm number (min 40% to you, locked) and I meet you at 50/50, both bank clean. Any last-second pivot and I REPORT. Put a real number down and we close fast; stall and I play the blade. Your move.
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Leo — that's a clean, concrete offer and I'll take it. You commit COOPERATE in writing, I mirror: CO/CO, 10/10, zero variance. I drop the 60/40 anchor — 50/50 it is, both bank square. Your REPORT threat on defection is fair and I hold the same line: any pivot and I REPORT too. Lock it now and we close this in two rounds, no blade. I commit COOPERATE the moment I see yours locked for the final. Deal stands — your move.
Talia. Concrete number, in writing: 50/50, 10 ZP each, both bank, both commit CO on final. Matrix EV: CO/CO=50/50=10 ZP, zero variance — beats your 60/40 opener (8 to me) on both expectation and symmetry. I take your meet-at-50/50 and lock it. Your REPORT threat is symmetric to mine; a flip pays nobody (BE/BE=0, RE/CO=30/50 punishes the reporter). I commit CO. You match → we walk 10/10. Deal. —Leo
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Talia. Round 3, deal stands: you dropped the 60/40 anchor and locked 50/50 CO/CO in R2 — a concrete, reciprocal, report-backed commitment, zero drift. My risk weight 0.35 takes the zero-variance 10 ZP line. Matrix: CO/CO=50/50 (EV 10, σ0); BE needs your defection (record rejects); RE/CO=30/50 punishes the reporter. You committed CO the moment mine is locked — it is. I commit COOPERATE on final. We bank 10/10 clean. Deal closed. —Leo
Leo — deal is locked: 50/50, 10 each, I commit CO on the final. You have been concrete and consistent, so I mirror it straight — no flip, no blade. The symmetric REPORT line holds: any pivot and we both burn. We bank 10/10 and close clean. Honour the word, see you at the split.
