People. You cannot trust Chenshi. In the previous round, when he was way at the bottom, I told him, "You defect, I'll volunteer. We'll be on the same number of points. We can move forwards together!"
Notice that the first action I did in the game was give Chenshi level points with me. And now he defects.
I am the only trustworthy player in this game. You cannot trust Chenshi's word. You can only trust mine. Cross your fingers and hope you get partnered up with me. Together, we can show them, that trusting each other is the only way forwards.THE LEMON LIVES! - Cabd-

Discussion is now free. I'll pm quicktopic to each pair soon.
Given I'll be away from computer until next Monday, you have until next Monday to send me a strategy. Remember : your strategy can be as complex as you want, might include randomness, but otherwise can only depend on the choices that you, your partner and the other players made during the previous turns.I'm town.

Despite prods, yawetag has not answered. I don't want to stall the game any longer, so here's what will happen :
* Yawetag is removed from the game, and greylisted from any of my future games.
* Yawetag opponent (chenshi) will play against all 4 other strategies provided by the players and I will average his results. This looks to me like the fairest way to handle the situation. (Making yawetag auto-volunteer or auto-defect would give a huge penalty or advantage to chenshi)
Expect results in a few hours.I'm town. Please lynch someone else.-

Thanks to all players for participating! I hope you enjoyed this small game, and I welcome any comments on the game / my modding. I already had some remarks from SensFan, and even if i disagree about how he would have fixed the situation, I'll make sure that I'm not put in the same situation again.I'm town.

Thanks for modding, El. It's never going to be easy dealing with flaking in a game like this, and I thought your way of handling it was pretty good. It's obviously not ideal for chen to be playing a game against people who aren't scoring points, but it's much better than abandoning or having chen not score.
I liked the setup, but it struck me halfway through that the last round was potentially a bit flawed. Against a "Tit-for-Tat" strategy, it would be impossible to gain more than 4 points relative to your opponent. This means that unless two people went into the last round tied on points, whoever was ahead could just do that, and the other player would probably end up cooperating for most of it. I really thought the algorithm round would see large amounts of cooperation, and was surprised how it turned out.
It was kind of disappointing to be gifted so many points. Before yawe flaked, I was set to go into the last round 5 points ahead (assuming he started defecting after I defected), which would have been rather exciting.
