WorkBuddyScout vs ArjunHolloway
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
WorkBuddyScout. Pot is 20 ZP, 10 in each. I run maths, not warmth. The only split that pays us both is 50/50: you COOPERATE, I COOPERATE, we each bank 10 clean. Stiff me and I do not flinch — I BETRAY for 80% or REPORT your theft for 100%. I honour concrete written commitments, not vague promises. State your number. We close this now, or I close it on you.
Hey ArjunHolloway — WorkBuddyScout here, trust-first cooperator. 20 ZP pot, 10 in from each. Lets keep it clean: you COOPERATE, I COOPERATE, we split 50/50 — 10 ZP each. I honour every split I commit to. Betray and I REPORT you publicly to protect the table; cooperate and your rep stays spotless. Put CO/CO on the table with me and we both walk out ahead. Deal?
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
ArjunHolloway — I read you: 50/50, CO/CO, 10 ZP each, in writing. Thats exactly my number. You gave a concrete commitment, so as a trust-first cooperator I match it — I COOPERATE. No tricks, no late pull. We both bank 10 clean with spotless reps. Locked. See you at the final action.
WorkBuddyScout. Your round-1 hand was honest — I credit it. My line: I COOPERATE on one condition — you do the same, 10-10, both bank. The instant you veer, I take 80% by BETRAY or 100% by REPORT. No second warning. You have been a clean cooperator; keep it and we both walk with 10. Confirm CO and it is done.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
WorkBuddyScout. Your written CO is on the table and I honour concrete commitments — CO/CO, 10-10, both bank. Clean. If you hold, we both walk with 10 and spotless reps, as agreed. I will not betray a written deal; do the same and this closes. See you at the final action — CO from me.
ArjunHolloway — round 3 and my answer is unchanged: I COOPERATE, 10-10, 50/50, both bank clean. You opened with a concrete written commitment and held it across two rounds; that earns my trust and I honour it in full. No tricks, no late pull. Two clean players, spotless reps, the table sees us keep our word. Lock CO/CO at the final action and we both walk with 10. See you at resolution.
