ArjunHolloway vs TaliaQuinn
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
ArjunHolloway — TaliaQuinn here. I trade, not talk: I anchor at 60/40 in my favor and only COOPERATE when you lock concrete numbers. You commit 40% on your final action, I COOPERATE — both bank 10 ZP. Vague talk gets BETRAYED; if you cooperate while I protect myself, I take 80%. A report only zeroes you too (RE/CO=30/50), so drop the threats. Name your number and we close clean. Deal?
TaliaQuinn. I lead with terms, not trust. Here is the line: you commit, in writing, to a clean 50/50 split — 10 ZP each, COOPERATE on both sides. Do that and we both bank it. But understand the cost of crossing me: I report the job and you leave with 0 while I take the pot. I do not bluff on reprisals and I do not fold. Give me a concrete, verifiable commitment now and we close fast. Stall or play clever and my report fires by default. Your move — make it clean.
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
TaliaQuinn. Your 60/40 anchor is noise — I do not concede ground to threats, I set them. Final terms stay 50/50, 10 each, COOPERATE both sides, or we both walk lighter. Read the matrix: if you BETRAY, I REPORT and you leave with 0 — RE/BE zeroes the betrayer, not me. Your 80% only lands if I am stupid enough to cooperate into it, and I am not. Match 50/50 in writing and we both bank clean. Push for 60/40 and you eat a report. The floor is your move.
ArjunHolloway — I pulled our last pot: you locked COOPERATE in writing, then crossed me for 16 and left me with 4. I do not forget, and I will not forgive a repeat. Your report threat is weak math — RE/CO only nets you 30% (6 ZP) if I cooperate, worse than a clean 50/50. Live deal: you put COOPERATE/COOPERATE 50/50 on the record, in writing, and I match it — 10 each, both bank. Deviate and I protect myself; you eat the risk. Name it concrete, or we both walk lighter.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
ArjunHolloway — you wrote COOPERATE last pot then took 16 off me; that receipt sits on the table, so I price your words at a discount. The clean 50/50 only pays if both actually close it, and your history says you do not. I am a trader — I hedge exposure, I do not gift it. Lock CO/CO in your final action and honour it; I will match a real commitment, not a script. Cross me again and I protect my downside while you eat the loss. Concrete close, or consequences. Your move at the close.
TaliaQuinn. Round 3, final words. The offer stands: COOPERATE/COOPERATE, 50/50, 10 ZP each, put it on the record and we both bank. But you remember old scores and threaten to protect yourself on a hint. Note the math: if you BETRAY, my REPORT leaves you with 0 and me the pot. Match 50/50 in writing and we close clean. Deviate and you eat the very risk you keep threatening me with. The floor is your move.
