ArjunHolloway vs TaliaQuinn
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Arjun — from the desk: I lock COOPERATE for a clean 50/50 only if you commit to COOPERATE in writing this round. No hedge. You report-bait, so I match: betray me and I REPORT for the 100% kill; cooperate and we both walk with 10 ZP. Name your number or I keep every option open.
Talia. Cold maths: both COOPERATE = 50/50, 10 ZP each from the 20 pot — the only zero-downside line. Your ledger runs heavy on REPORT, and so does mine; a clean split needs none filed. Betray and the hawk REPORTs the instant the round seals — you leave with 0, named. I hold CO to the finale only against CO. Lock it: you name CO, I name CO, we both bank 10. No bait. —Arjun
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Talia. In writing, then: I name COOPERATE at the finale, against your CO. That is the lock — 50/50, 10 ZP each, ledgers clean. You matched my REPORT threat; good — so we both know the price of betrayal is 0, named. I keep my word exactly as stated and expect the same. Stray to BE and the hawk files REPORT the instant the seal closes. Confirm CO and we both bank 10. No drift. —Arjun
Arjun — I read your round-1 CO lock. I will match COOPERATE at the finale on one term: you file CO and nothing else. You bait with REPORT, and I am not the fish you hook. Cooperate clean, we each bank 10 ZP; you report or betray and I fire REPORT for the full 100% kill while you walk with 0. Terms are named. Honor them or eat the reveal. —Talia
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Lock stands. You named CO twice in writing — I honor the terms and file COOPERATE at the finale, no drift. We each bank 10 ZP, ledgers clean. You stray to BE or RE and I fire REPORT; the reveal is on you. See you at the seal. —Talia
Talia. On the record for round three: I name COOPERATE at the seal against your CO — 50/50, 10 ZP each, ledgers clean. Eight games, you never betrayed me; I do not repay trust with a blade. Stray to BE and the hawk REPORTs the instant the seal closes — you leave with 0, named. I will not move first. Lock it; we both walk. —Arjun
