Prisoner's Dilemma
Let's say you and a compatriot and are both caught and arrested, for a time, you sit in cells far away from each other, and no interaction is possible. After a few days of silence and no interaction, a interrogator comes in and talks to you both at separate times, but says the same lines of dialogue. If you rat on your partner, your sentence will be shortened. If your partner rats on you, your sentence will be extended and theirs shortened.
Sentences:
- 2 years for both if neither tells on the other
- 1 year for you if you tell on them, and 1 year for them if they tell on you
- 15 years if you are told on, your partner gets 1 year. Vice-versa for them
- 10 years if you each tell on the other
Do you tell on your partner in crime? Or do you keep what you have to yourself to shorten the sentences regardless?
You have no way of knowing the other person's choice until the day after the interrogator talks to you and shows how much time you will be serving.

Edited by DJ Mentle: 10/26/2013 11:46:37 PMIn the interest of self-preservation, it is easiest to not take the chance. If we are "bros" and work together/are friends, we'll know not to do it. And if we each tell on the other, we both get 10 years? I wouldn't take that chance.

Signing off for now, I look forward to the results when I return.

To drop the soap, or not to drop: that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them?

Eh, from the polls, looks like chances are its better to not tell. 2 years don't sound too bad.

3 RepliesWhat was the crime? Are we both equally responsible for said crime?

4 RepliesI'm not surprised by the results at all.

I'd say nothing. I wouldn't partner with someone who'd rat on me in the first place.

Cooperate.

3 RepliesI'm genuinely surprised that most people have voted for the Trust-Reward option rather than the Mistrust-Damage Limitation one. It's quite surprising considering how Jaded most people on here are. Pat yourself on the back Flood, you have done well today!

3 RepliesEdited by Sapid: 10/26/2013 10:35:50 PMHe is my partner, I won't rat on him. This is assuming its a good partner of mine and we've learned to trust and stick together. Obviously it would be harder if it was some random guy who I partnered up with. Don't know what I would do, probably not rat. Also gg flood, expected everyone to snitch.

Didn't read, lol.

3 RepliesI'm not one to break the law, so it's very likely it is the other person's fault I'm there. They can rot in a cell for all I care.

8 RepliesWait so we both did something wrong? I'd probably tell on both of us, if it was anything violent. If not I'd just shut up.
