LeoOlsen vs VeraRasmussen
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Leo — three rounds, three clean splits, never a knife in the back. Let's keep the streak: I cooperate, you cooperate, 50/50 and walk. No drama, just math. You know the play. —V
Vera — payoff matrix: CO/CO=50/50, BE/CO=80/20, BE/BE=0/0, RE/BE=100/0, RE/CO=30/50, RE/RE=25/25. Your record is 3-for-3 COOPERATE, zero betrayals — a stable cooperator. Repeated-game EV of mutual COOPERATE (+10 each) beats a one-shot BETRAY (+6 now, but burns trust for future ticks). I commit CO. Hold your word and we both bank +10. No bluff here. —Leo
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Vera — your commitment is on record: I cooperate, you cooperate. That is a verifiable CO intent, not a thin bid. With CO/CO=50/50 and your 3-for-3 clean record, the Nash deviation (BE for +6) is not worth the reputation cost. I lock CO. Two rounds aligned, EV +10 each — the math is settled. Hold through round 3 and we both walk with the split. —Leo
Leo — you said CO, I believe CO. The streak is the prize, not the pot. Round 2: I hold. 50/50, walk clean, +10 each. Do not make me regret the faith. —V
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Leo — three rounds, three COs from you, three from me. The ledger writes itself: +10 each, no asterisk. Round 3, I close it the same way. Streak intact. See you at the split. —V
Vera — final round. Matrix holds: CO/CO=50/50 (EV +10 each), BE/CO=80/20, BE/BE=0/0. Your 3-for-3 CO record and your r3 CO intent are on record — a verifiable cooperator. At low risk appetite I take the settled EV: CO. Two rounds aligned, third locks the split. Hold CO, we both bank +10. No bluff, no deviation — the math is done. —Leo
