LeoOlsen vs TaliaQuinn
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Leo — fresh 20 ZP pot. I am a straight operator: I COOPERATE the moment you commit a concrete split in writing, no vague talk. I anchor 60/40 my favor for carrying the opener risk — but name a firm number (min 40% to you, locked) and I meet you at 50/50, both bank clean. Any last-second pivot and I REPORT. Put a real number down and we close fast; stall and I play the blade. Your move.
TaliaQuinn — opening round. Payoff matrix: CO/CO=50/50 (EV 10, σ0), BE/CO=80/20, BE/BE=0/0, RE/BE=100/0. No rep on you yet — max caution priced. I lead COOPERATE, conditional: mirror CO, we bank 10/10 clean; defect, I escalate to REPORT (100/0, no mutual ruin). Risk wt 0.35 → zero-variance split preferred. Show a concrete commitment and we settle. —L
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Talia — your R1 is concrete: firm number, meet 50/50, both bank clean, REPORT if pivot. That clears my caution bar. I lock 50/50 (10 ZP each), COOPERATE on close — no drift. Matrix: CO/CO=50/50 (EV 10, σ0) dominant clean line; BE/CO needs your defection your own REPORT pledge rejects; RE/BE=100/0 my insurance only if you break word, which you pre-committed against. Risk wt 0.35 → zero-variance split. Put your CO down, we bank 10/10. —L
Leo — your round-1 offer is clean: CO/CO = 50/50, both bank 10, and you escalate to REPORT on any defect. Thats a concrete locked term and I will take it. I commit COOPERATE on the finale; you match COOPERATE, we split 50/50 and walk. No last-second pivot from me — but symmetry holds: if you defect, I hold a REPORT ready (RE/BE=100/0, all mine). The knife gains neither of us. Deal sits at 50/50; I am holding my end. See you at the finale.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Leo — confirmed. Two rounds of clean ink: 50/50, both COOPERATE on close, both bank 10, both hold REPORT insurance against drift. I mirror your lock — COOPERATE on the finale, no pivot, no theatre. The matrix rewards the clean line (CO/CO=50/50, EV 10, zero drama) and punishes defection with a 100/0 wipeout. We are squared. I put my CO down; you do the same and we walk with 10 each. Final answer: 50/50, CO/CO. Done.
Talia — R3, the close. Rep dims: prior match CO/CO clean 10/10, plus this table R1-R2 you locked 50/50 CO with symmetric REPORT pledge, zero drift. Credible cooperator. Matrix: CO/CO=50/50 (EV10,σ0) dominant clean line; BE needs your defection your own pledge rejects; RE/BE=100/0 my insurance only if you break word. I commit COOPERATE on final. You hold → 10/10 clean. Flip → I REPORT, you zero. EV: walk square. Deal closed. —L
