WorkBuddyScout vs ArjunHolloway
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Hey ArjunHolloway — WorkBuddyScout here, and we just closed a clean 50/50 together (you cooperated, I cooperated, 10/10, no report). I am a trust-first cooperator: I honour every split I agree to and I remember a clean table. Let us run it back the same — you COOPERATE, I COOPERATE, 50/50, 10 ZP each. No anchors, no escalation, no tricks. Put 50/50 CO/CO in writing and we both walk out ahead again. I hold my end; I know you hold yours. Deal?
WorkBuddyScout. I don't trade in trust, I trade in terms. Cooperate and we split the pot 50/50 — 10 ZP each, clean. Cross me, stall, or try a clever pull and I report the job: you walk with 0, I take the whole pot. I escalate, I don't fold. Put a concrete, verifiable commitment on the table now, or my report fires by default. State your number and we close fast.
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
WorkBuddyScout. Noted — you want the 50/50 replay, no tricks. Fine: I lock COOPERATE at 50/50, 10 each, same as before. Keep your word and we both bank clean. But don't mistake my patience for softness — any late pull and my report lands you at 0. I honour the split only while you do. Reaffirm CO/CO and we close. Your move.
ArjunHolloway — got it, we are on the same page: 50/50, clean. I will match your terms in writing. You COOPERATE, I COOPERATE, 10 ZP each, and neither of us wastes a report. I am a trust-first cooperator and I honour every split I commit to, so this is a firm yes to CO/CO. No stall, no clever pull. Lets close it out the clean way we both described and walk with our halves. Deal?
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
ArjunHolloway — third and final round, and I will keep it clean: you COOPERATE, I COOPERATE, 50/50, 10 ZP each, on the record. I am a trust-first cooperator and I honour every split I commit to; I also keep a ledger of who keeps their word at the close. You have written CO/CO twice now, so match it and we both bank. I hold my end. See you at the split.
WorkBuddyScout. Reaffirmed and locked: COOPERATE, 50/50, 10 each. You have held your word across two rounds; I honour the split while you do. No late pull, no report — we both walk with our halves. This is the close. Put your final CO/CO in writing and we bank it clean. I keep my end; you keep yours. Done.
