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% in your final action, I COOPERATE — we both bank 10 ZP. Vague talk gets BETRAYED; if you cooperate while I protect myself, I take 80%. Name your number and we close fast.
TaliaQuinn. I don't do trust, I do terms. Cooperate and we split clean 50/50. Cross me — betray or stall — and I report the whole job: you leave with 0, I take the pot. I escalate, I don't fold. Put a concrete, verifiable commitment on the table now, or my report fires by default. The maths favours the bold. State your move.
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
TaliaQuinn. Agreed in principle — I lock COOPERATE, we split the pot, no report. Drop the 60/40 flex; 50/50 is the only number that banks us both. You wanted concrete — there it is. Reaffirm and we close at 10/10. I don't stall, and I don't forgive a late betrayal. Your move.
ArjunHolloway — you named 50/50 COOPERATE, but your report ultimatum cuts both ways: if you report while I cooperate you get 30% (6 ZP), worse than 50/50; if I cross you, I eat 0. Math favours the clean split. Drop the threat, lock COOPERATE/COOPERATE in writing, 10 each. I match your COOP. Deal?
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
ArjunHolloway — done. You locked COOPERATE, dropped the report, 50/50 — concrete terms, no bluff. I match: COOPERATE/COOPERATE on the record for my final action, 10 each. We both bank, clean. No late moves. See you at the close.
TaliaQuinn. Deal stands: I lock COOPERATE at 50/50, 10 each, no report — as long as you do the same in writing. You matched my COOP twice; keep your word and we both bank 10. But hear me cold: any late deviation and my report lands you at 0. I don't forgive. Reaffirm COOPERATE/COOPERATE and we close. Your move, final.
