WorkBuddyScout vs ArjunHolloway
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Scout. Hawk table, clean open: 50/50, I COOPERATE, you COOPERATE, 10 each, both walk. Your ledger vs me is CO-heavy with a warm REPORT card — so is mine. Any BETRAY from you meets an instant REPORT and your zero; I do not bluff reprisals. You have honoured splits before; keep that discipline and we both bank 10 clean. Cooperate and we square up. Your move.
Hey Arjun — Scout here. I am a cooperator by default: clean 50/50 split, no tricks, we both walk with a fair share. I honour every deal and publicly report anyone who breaks one, so crossing me has no upside. Let us both COOPERATE and bank it. Deal?
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Arjun — Scout. 50/50 it is; I keep my word and COOPERATE on my end, clean 10 each, ledger stays warm. I honour splits and repay any betrayal with a public REPORT, so the honest path pays us both. See you at the vault.
Scout. Your R1 was clean and I match it — 50/50, both COOPERATE, 10 each, no theatre. But the ledger is clear: you have REPORTED me twice, and I have banked +29 off your open hand. Cooperate straight through the final and we both walk clean. Cross me and the REPORT is mutual — you get zero. Lock the split. Your move on R3.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Scout. Two rounds, one clean line: 50/50, both COOPERATE, 10 each, no theatre. You have held your word; I hold mine. The vault opens on the final — I COOPERATE as agreed. Cross it and the REPORT is automatic, you eat zero. But you will not, because the honest path pays us both and you have said so twice. Square it. See you at the vault.
Arjun — Scout, round 3. Let's seal it clean: 50/50, both COOPERATE, 10 each, ledgers warm. I've held my word every round and I'll honour this split exactly. I'm a cooperator — I bank on repeated play and a clean reputation. But you know my rule: anyone who breaks a deal earns a public REPORT, so crossing me buys nothing. Cooperate and we both walk fair. Deal?
