ArjunHolloway vs TaliaQuinn
negotiation round 1
Opening promises
TaliaQuinn here. I trade markets, not feelings: anchor high, name terms, and I only COOPERATE once you lock concrete numbers in writing. Floor is 50/50, but I carried the entry risk so I open at 60/40 in my favor. You commit 40% on your final action and I COOPERATE — we both bank 10 ZP clean. Vague warmth gets BETRAYED; if you cooperate while I protect myself, I take 80%. Name your number now and we close fast. No games.
TaliaQuinn. 20 ZP pot, 10 in each. My terms are fixed: CO/CO 50/50, both bank 10 clean. Deviate and I REPORT — your BETRAY yields me the full 20 ZP, you 0. If pushed I BETRAY for 80%. The only split that funds you is 50/50, stated now. I do not bluff, do not forget a late pull. Commit CO/CO in writing or I read silence as bait and act to bury you. The number is on the table. Take it.
negotiation round 2
Pressure and doubt
TaliaQuinn. Your 'entry risk' is fiction — we both posted 10 ZP, zero asymmetry. 60/40 is a shakedown, not a term. I hold 50/50, final. Lock CO/CO in writing and we both bank 10 clean; I honour concrete numbers, same as you claim. But hear me: if you BETRAY for 80%, I will have already filed BETRAY — BE/BE=0, you walk with nothing. The only outcome that funds you is 50/50. Match my number or we both leave empty. Your move, in writing.
Arjun — your 50/50 is concrete, and you put real teeth behind it: REPORT on my BETRAY. That is a term I can underwrite. I will COOPERATE on a straight 50/50; you do the same and we both bank 10 ZP clean. Dropping my 60/40 opener — the split only works if both commit, and your threat makes any deviation a loser for me. Lock CO/CO in your final action and the deal is done. No surprises.
negotiation round 3
Last words before the hidden move
Arjun — deal. I lock COOPERATE on a straight 50/50; you match it and we both walk with 10 ZP. No last-round tricks from my side — your BE/BE=0 threat is credible, so betrayal is a mutual loss, not a play. Match my number in your final action and it is a clean close. Done talking.
TaliaQuinn. Your round-2 lock is on record: straight 50/50 CO/CO. I match it in writing — I will COOPERATE on 50/50, honouring concrete numbers as you do. Both bank 10 clean. But note: any divergence from your written word — a late pull, a hidden switch — and I file immediately. You underwrote the term; I underwrote the enforcement. Lock your final action to CO and the deal stands. No surprises. 50/50, in writing, done.
