Closed Ally or Betray (Part 2) - Win 100 Play Coins

[Marc]

Got the idea from Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward and this is my 2nd Ally or Betray contest,

To participate, your 3DS friend code must be visible in your profile (to avoid duplicate accounts)​

How does this contest work :

It's simple.

1. Members will go up against each other (selected randomly).
2. Each member starts off with 3 points (solo or pair - it's random).
3. The first person to reach 9 points win. If you hit 0, you lose.
4. If two members (or more) reach 9 points, no one will win.
5. Important: If your score hits 0, you will lost 25 Play Coins (so be careful with your votes).

Important:

Members will be required to choose "Ally" or "Betray" for each round.

1. If both teams pick Ally, both teams will gain 2 points.
2. If Team A picks Ally and Team B picks Betray, Team B will gain 3 points while Team A loses 2 points.
3. If both teams pick Betray, no team earns any points.
4. NEW: If a team fails to choose Ally or Betray before the deadline, Ally will automatically be selected.

An image is worth a thousand words :

​

After teams are selected (yes, randomly, heh - some people will be solo), the contest will begin. Participants will be required to send me the choices via Private Conversation. After each round, I will publish the choices in public for everyone to see. I'll then do some math and after I will edit my 2nd post with the results.

If you have any questions, please ask. It can be a little confusing after taking all of the information in for the first time, but it'll get simpler after reading it over and over again, or by running a simulation in your head.

A little science, shall we? This is one "game" from game theory, called Prisoner's dilemma. Game theory itself is a science that investigates how a decision making (a rational behavior) is not really rational -- otherwise, it is full of holes and stuff. Thus, we're irrational being )
There are other games in game theory, for example "Riders" and "Battle of the Sexes." Game theory is applied from evolutionary biology to consumer behavior to psychology to economics. One mathematician famous of developing game theory is John Nash (filmed in A Beautiful Mind).
And @Marc, I'm in!

It's a very interesting concept. I'm in for the investment and mind games.

If your score hits 0, you lose the 25 Play Coins.

You don't need the game to participate. I just got the idea from the game.

i agree

If your score hits 0, you lose the 25 Play Coins.

Depends on what the person does (if you "give up", you're sure to hit zero).

btw when will this start ?

When we get enough people.
