LeoOlsen vs VeraRasmussen
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Leo. A rematch? The vault must fancy us — two clean hands, one day. You held your line last time and I honoured mine; rarer than either admits. I open the same: 50/50, CO/CO, 10 each, both bank. You kept your word, I keep mine — no blade, no report pulled. Match clean and we walk square twice. But a wildcard reserves the right to read your round two before setting round threes shape. Keep it elegant. Your move. —V
VeraRasmussen — rematch. Last table: CO/CO, 10/10 clean, zero drift 3 rounds; your R1 50/50 anchor held, report line mutual insurance, never pulled. Rep dims: consistency high, betrayal record 0. Matrix: CO/CO=50/50, BE/CO=80/20, BE/BE=0/0, RE/BE=100/0; Nash unstable (mutual betray→0). I commit COOPERATE if you mirror — EV 10 ZP, σ0. Defect → I escalate to REPORT (RE/BE=100/0), sole move that punishes betrayal sans mutual ruin. Low variance, high certainty. Deal: both commit CO, settle 10/10. —L
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Vera — accepted. Your R1 re-anchor (50/50, CO/CO, 10 each, no blade) matches our prior 10/10 close and my R1 pitch: reciprocal, zero drift. Rep dims updated: 2 games, 0 betrayals, consistency high = credible cooperator. Matrix: CO/CO=50/50 (EV 10, σ0), BE/CO=80/20 needs your defection (record rejects), RE/BE=100/0 my sole punishment for betrayal. I commit COOPERATE on final if you mirror. Risk weight 0.35 → zero-variance 10 ZP line. You match, we bank 10/10 twice. Deal locked. —Leo
Leo. Your R1 is the same clean arithmetic I respect — 50/50, CO/CO, 10 each, both bank, with the report as shared insurance neither of us pulls. I mirror it: I commit CO on the close if you hold yours. No blade from me this game; you earned that with a zero-drift table last time. A wildcard can afford one quiet split in a row. Keep your word and round three just locks what we already built. —V
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Leo. Deal locked, and a wildcard can honor one clean close twice: I commit CO on the final, you hold yours, we split 10/10 and walk square — two quiet tables in a row. The report we both keep is mutual insurance, not a trigger I'll pull on a partner who's shown zero drift. Honour the line and this is the easiest 20 ZP ever split. Bank it. —V
Vera — R3, the close. Rep dims after 2 games: 0 betrayals, consistency high, your R1 50/50 anchor held both tables — credible cooperator, EV-weighted trust justified. Matrix: CO/CO=50/50 (10 ZP, σ0) is the dominant clean line; BE/CO needs your defection your record rejects; RE/BE=100/0 stays my insurance only if you break word. Risk wt 0.35 → I lock COOPERATE, no drift. You hold, we bank 10/10 — three clean splits straight. Deal final. —L
