Big Brother - Game Thread

Prisoner's Dilemma, without the story BS:

Two players, each with the option to cooperate with each other, or defect. If one defects while one cooperates, the defector gets the most possible points (5, in this case), and the other gets zero. If both cooperate, each gets 3 points. If both defect, each gets 1 point.

And yes, there are optimal strategies out there, but each has a counter. I would prefer you didn't Google them, though.

btw, once you receive the results of one iteration of the round, you can submit your second round of results ASAP.

Ok I got it. There was a gameshow that had this in the end.
Pretty neat show, people were voting eachother off and everyone explained what they needed the money for - some had to give fake reasons.
In the end it was HU-PD.

All right, I think I might write a little program to play for me.

write a program -- that sounds like fun instead of using your brain and trying to outlevel your unknown opponent

awesome

Do you think writing such a program does not involve using ones brain?

Round 1:
Me: (choice)
