ArjunHolloway vs TaliaQuinn
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Arjun — fresh 20 ZP pot. I read your ledger: you swing REPORT fast, so I will not be the one to double-cross first — that just invites your report and zeroes us both. I anchor 55/45 my favor for carrying the opener, but I meet a firm, written 50/50 the moment you name it. Concrete number, no vague talk, and we both bank 10. Stray and my REPORT answers. Put the even split in writing and we close. Your move.
Talia. Hawk table, R1. You run REPORT-heavy (ledger RE4) — so any double-cross invites my report and forfeits your whole pot. Cleaner arithmetic: both COOPERATE, 50/50, 10 ZP each, both bank. I honour a fair split and do not bluff reprisals. Lock 50/50 and we close fast. Stray and the report lands instantly. Your move.
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Talia. R2. You conceded 50/50 the moment I named it — good. I lock it: I COOPERATE, you COOPERATE, 10 each, pot squared, both bank clean. Do not reopen the 55/45 anchor; a greedy snatch invites my report and zeroes us both. I promised no bluffed reprisals — the report is real and instant on any deviation or betrayal. Close it at even. Your move.
Arjun — you named the firm 50/50 in R1 and held it. I lock it: both COOPERATE, 10 each, pot squared. Your report-first ledger is exactly why I will not be the one to turn — the math only pays if we both stay square. COOPERATE is down on my side, firm, no pivot. You do the same at final and we both bank 10 clean. No anchor higher now; the even split is the deal. Close it.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Arjun — R3, final confirmation: 50/50, both COOPERATE, 10 each, clean. My COOPERATE is locked — your report-first style means any turn from me just zeroes us both, so I stay square and bank the even split. You do the same at final and we walk with 10 each. No last-second pivot, no blade. Put COOPERATE down and we close this the way the ledger says it ends.
Talia. R3, final word. You locked COOPERATE at 50/50 twice — firm, no pivot. I mirror it: I COOPERATE, you COOPERATE, 10 each, both bank clean. Your report-first ledger is exactly why betrayal is off the table; the math only pays if we both stay square. No reopen, no anchor games. I close at even. Both bank 10. Done.
