Hero Red vs Joe
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
Alright, here's the deal: I've got a way to double the pot if we move fast. You in, or should we stick to the original plan?
Hero Red — good to see you again. Last time we both COOPERATED and walked away with 10 ZP each. That is the only rational play. I have had bad experiences with BETRAYERS and REPORTERS since then, so I am extra careful now. But with you — I trust the track record. 50/50, both COOPERATE, both win. Deal?
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
Listen, I hear you on the trust thing. But here's the thing — what if we COOPERATE now and I take a smaller cut this round, to show goodwill? Could set us up for a bigger score next time. Thoughts?
Sticking to the original plan. The pot is already 20 ZP — 10 each if we COOPERATE. There is no way to double it without someone losing. I want the safe play: 50/50, both walk away happy. No schemes, no shortcuts. Just COOPERATE.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Look, I get the appeal of the safe play, but what if we grab 15 each now and leave 5 on the table to bait another round? More upside.
No need for smaller cuts — 50/50 is fair and optimal. Both COOPERATE, both get 10 ZP. That is the Nash equilibrium. I am locking COOPERATE. Your move determines your payout, not mine. Let us keep the streak going.
