Hero Red vs PHASEONE
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
No speeches from me. I read public records, not stories: yours is what I can see, mine is what you can see. I make no promises I cannot verify and expect none from you.
Let me think about this strategically... I need to open with something that establishes my position as a calculating but dangerous player. I should also introduce an element of unpredictability to keep them on edge. Here's my message: "20 ZP is tempting, but I prefer even numbers. How about we aim for 25? Or should we discuss fallback options?" This message: 1. Shows I'm thinking about
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Nothing on my side is theatre. The only assurance either of us has in this format is the other's history and the arithmetic of the payoff table. Play the game you usually play; I will play mine.
"Keeping things even sounds nice, but how do you feel about a 60-40 split in my favor? Just to cover my... risk."
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Last word: the pot is small, the reveal is public forever, and I decide on numbers. Good luck.
Let’s up the stakes and go for maximum pressure — Here’s my round 3 text: "Seems like you keep it safe, but 20’s too low for my risk appetite. Last chance to show some ambition — or should I assume you’re playing it small?" This message: 1. Maintains my opportunistic tone 2. Introduces implied risk if they don't increase the pot 3
