Is there a multiplayer game that uses the concept of prisoner's dilemma? What would you guys recommend?
>>
Not MP, but i think it's an important element in VLR
>>
Would this concept be similar to fighting games, where the player needs to decide if it would be benificial to deal damage by simply trading hits?
>>

There's s shitty Golden Balls game on the Wii.

So confess, right? The EV of confessing is 2.5 years. The EV of remaining silent is 10.5 years.

What's weird about it is that there is no communication between both wanting to betray the other. What seems like the get out of jail free option to them could get them both a longer sentence because they both confessed.
>>
>>321234906
That image is kind of a shitty example. Confessing would be the objectively best choice if those were the length of the sentences.
>>
>>321235103
Kind of, but not exactly. There are a ton of situations where PD rules can take effect and the variances depend on the balance between reward and punishment.

In your example, assuming both attacks would deal the same damage, it largely depends on your personal strategy. Assuming trades continuously occur, the battle will eventually come down to a "next-hit-kills" situation or a kill via chip damage. On the hand, infinite trades will always result in Double KO, so it's not an absolute strategy.

The main problem here is that there is no fourth condition. In classic PD, there are four conditions: player 1 wins, and player 2 loses, or vice versa. Or, both lose harshly or lightly, which counts as a small victory. There are no "small victories" in fighting games, or most competitive games in general.

PD is good as a baseline for measuring how much you trust your accomplices

If you can guarantee your buddy won't snitch and you can guarantee they wouldnt on you, you can both make the informed choice not to rat. Remain silent should be 0 years and confess/not confess should be 1 year btw

in that image somehow cooperating fully gets less time than no charges sticking, which is dumb. like no deal is ever getting off scot free, itd be at least probation or witness protection.

this is why criminal organizations are often based around families. if you and your brother get caught, you can be sure he won't rat on his own blood and knows you wont either, so you both beat the charges and walk away scot-free
>>
>>321235783
>What seems like the get out of jail free option to them could get them both a longer sentence because they both confessed.
Which is why it's the prisoner's dilemma, as opposed to the prisoner's solution. If both parties could communicate, the variables could change drastically, but this also overcomplicates the game. You then have to consider the possibility of lying or going back on your word, since the reward for betrayl is significantly higher than cooperation.

For the sake of simplicity, both prisoners are simply in solitary confinement.

Yeah and they did the same fucking thing in KoTOR.

>>321236259
You're looking for a "good ending" which isn't the point of PD.

PD is based entirely on a very simple tier list:

T > R > P > S

T stands for temptation, which is to say that confessing offers the greatest reward, by far.

R stands for reward, which offers a middle ground that is actually mutually beneficial to the "team" as a whole. It's not as good as Temptation for the individual but it equally helps both of them out.

P stands for Punishment, which is worse than both Temptation and Reward. In this scenario, both players are equally punished. Normally, this would be a stupid decision to make were it not for the worst possible outcome.

S stands for Sucker, which places the ultimate burden upon a single individual. It needs to be there because, otherwise, remaining silent would be the best option. With the risk of becoming a Sucker, the balance shifts drastically.

The real fucked up part comes from this string of thought:

If the other guy stays silent, then I'll confess and get away scout free! But if the other guy confesses, then I'd better confess too to help lower my punishment. The other guy will have the same logic and, as such, the outcome will always be P, despite being a lower tier outcome. That's the dilemma.

I'm simply interested in co-op / versus hybrid games. Four Swords and Mario 3d World are interesting examples of this. In both games, players need to cooperate effectively in order to complete the stage, but upon completion each player is given a score based on individual merit. Thus, while everyone needs to cooperate, the winning players will need to hamper their partners in order to help boost themselves. Furthermore, the best players will do so subtly, making sure that their score does not go so far ahead of the others that they are ganged up upon or no longer trusted.

Playing Civilization free-for-all against multiple players is also a good example of this. It's most beneficial to cooperate against a common foe but, in the end, there can be only one winner. That kind of shit is exciting to me.

Basically, but this also applies to real world problems, such as global warming. If every country in the world reduced their CO2 emissions, then the world in general would benefit. Yet, no one wants to take the plunge and hurt themselves for the greater good.

The Cold War was another stellar example. If both America and USSR disarmed, then they would both benefit greatly from reduced cost in military expenses. On the other hand, if America disarmed and USSR continued to arm, then the balance of power would shift drastically, and vice versa. Thus, both superpowers continue to arm infinitely, despite the fact that neither will never become significantly stronger than the other to launch an attack and, further, despite the increased costs in military spending. It's a poor choice, but far greater than the worst outcome.

Global warming is a bogeyman, the real issues are clean air, clean water, and overfishing.

How are you gonna stop china anyways?
The west relies too much on them because of their cheap production and its not like you can sue them or whatever.

China will never give a fuck about morals, human rights, nature and other hippie garbage and thats their biggest advantage on the market.
>>
>>321240102
In the context of the logic puzzle yeah.
But when you bring morality and street ethics into play confession is a potential death sentence at worst and a black mark against your honor as a criminal at best.
>>
>>321240782
They've broken every single free trade deal they've signed and theres a fuckload of evidence that the Yuan is as much as 40% undervalued because china fucks with imports so much, so to start off you declare them a currency manipulator and call their bluff, that brings them to the negotiating table.
You're saying america relies too much on chinese products but you're forgetting that china only has western europe to sell to if they get cut off, all the western european leaders are obsessed with environmentalism right now so it would be 100% possible to cut a new deal with china that forces them to respect imports and not pump so much shit into their air.

Of course obama won't do this because he's a huge pussy.

India is too fragmented to do anything right now, the majority of their admittedly huge population live in villages dotted all over the country and shit on the streets.

I don't think there will be a revolution or actual env. regulations. I do think they are going to fuck it up and get too expensive though. Or get undercut. Question is, by who?
>>
>>321242621
One of the reasons they can go so cheap aside from the obvious is that they put HUGE tariffs on imported goods and subsidize the fuck out of their own manufacturing.
Foreign companies are not allowed to do business in china without revealing their intellectual property (e.g. how their computer chips work) to local chinese companies.

Very few other countries have the manufacturing infrastructure to compete with china on a mass scale, the only country that could beat them 1:1 by renegotiating trade is america because of OPEC.
The other thing america has to do is fucking crush ISIS, because china doesn't give a fuck who it gets its oil from, just that its getting oil for the cheapest price possible.

Like >>321236479 said, this game is literally based on the Prisoner's Dilemma, and you play it many times throughout the game.
>>
>>321244259

the entire point of the prisoners dilemma is that what is best for 1 person might not be best for the group.

She made the rational choice for HERSELF, but she made the wrong choice for the group, and since humans are social animals that require cooperation to survive, she has failed as a human.

Chances are, most people will be dicks because it's just too risky to team up with random people, there's very little reward for being a good Samaritan, and it's way too easy to backstab someone for short term gain (by short term I mean, sooner or later, you're gonna get fucked as well and so is your progress).

This.
Equally serving one year in prison adds up to a total of two years. This is far greater than having to spend ten or twenty years each.

It actually works better in other scenarios, like Virtue's Last Reward which keeps getting brought up. The group is awarded far more points for allying than the individual who betrays. Cooperation leads to greater benefits than personal gain.

The Prisoner's Dilemma is a thought experiment, retards, not a commentary on plea bargains. There's no point in bringing street justice into the equation because the example is designed to describe any two persons who are competing for desirable outcomes.

It's also not designed to demonstrate which is the ideal choice for any given prisoner but, specifically, to demonstrate that in such a situation, neither player would be likely to choose the option resulting in the greatest benefit for both. It's a commentary on why people don't always cooperate, even when they both stand to gain.

There is never a single reason to not Steal. If you ever don't Steal you are a fucking moron.

My local radio station did this but with money. If you chose to share, each person got $100. If you chose to steal and the other person said share, you got $200. If you both said steal you both get nothing. After listening to the results a few time, most people said share. It was interesting seeing a real world application of this.

Research indicates people are more risk-averse, so they tend to "confess" when they're being offered a choice of gaining a small vs a large amount, but they tend to "remain silent" if they believe they already own or are entitled to the whole amount.

This could get you fired. Social experiments like that could lead to students doing stupid shit to other students to make sure they're the ones getting the 6 points.

Killing Floor did with heals.

You got a healing syringe. It has two rounds and recharges in about 30 seconds.

Players can sting themselves, spending both rounds, to heal once.
Or, players can heal someone else, giving one heal for just one round.

Assume each player is damaged.
If everyone heals each other, then everyone can heal at least twice as fast.

But the decision to heal someone else leaves your syringe recharging. If they use their syringe on themselves (on top of yours), they will be healed 3x faster.
But you would get nothing, and remain vulnerable until everything recharged.

There's a lot of tough cooperation decisions like this in Killing Floor.
Like, if no one can take the FP on alone, then everyone has to attack together.
But whoever shoots first is gonna get mauled, especially if his peers don't attack out of fear of becoming the new target.

I said IF NO ONE CAN TAKE FP ALONE.
It's right in your quote.

It's funny when it happens in a pub though.
Your FP killer guy is dead already, and everyone is getting their shit pushed in and is low on health, and then the FP walks in...
Sometimes everyone will just stammer, none of them wanting to take the first shot, for like good 5 seconds.

It's not a prisoner's dilemma because one of the players has to sacrifice himself so the others can pass through. There is no cooperation.

>>321256821
Not really bourne out by practical evidence. Turns out in practice when you leave markets unregulated you just get monopolies because consumers are acting on more values than just maximizing their profit.

monopolies only exist due to government interference

i believe that Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward does that.

in the very beginning you have to deal with that exactly same dilemma but with different consequences.
>>
>>321256942
Do we know how much a point on the test is worth? What if the test turns out to be worth just ten points total? In that case, unless your aim is to be an asshole like most of the repliers, and assuming you believe you might need the couple points, it seems the result most likely to gain any amount of extra credit for everyone including yourself is best. Some people will get their six points and think they outwitted their classmates, but who cares what they think?
>>
>>321257238
Well it's not the same as the prisoner dilemma, but you see in that specific situation, it is highly unlikey that whoever is FP's first pick will die.
It is obvious that everyone needs to give it all they got and someone has to go down for the team, but in a pub you often have players who don't give a shit about each other.

I would have chosen steal every time too. If the other person chose split I would give him half afterward.

I don't want to judge this guy's work without knowing any more than its synopsis, but I can't understand why he would want the Gold Standard. I've seen some of Rand Paul's arguments, so I know he's not alone in this thought, but in what possible way could the benefits of going back to the Gold Standard outweigh the well-established risks of the system?

there are no risks of a gold standard system, gold has objective value when it's not being manipulated and distorted by big government

Gold has value because people give it value.

So, in the end, there's really no Prisoner's Dilemma: The Game out there.

No, Virtue's Last Reward doesn't count. For one it's single player and secondly it's more a story than a game since the experience is the same every time and there are only so many outcomes.

I just don't understand why it hasn't been properly implemented yet. This guy's kind of on the right track
>>321238047
but it's not really enough.

>>321261559

>>321249680
Well ideally you don't say anything until you've spoken to a lawyer. In the case where they have evidence, it's a race to confess because you've got the option of 0-5 years versus 1-20.

You're begging the question, which is why you're wrong. Gold is valuable because people give it value. Claiming the opposite is a fallacy based on assumption.

It's easy to judge from afar and that video makes a moralfag out of most people that have any empathy because all they see if a person screwing over another despite him having the same opportunity to do it to her.

Same, but the golden balls stuff is interesting.

OP, Transformice is a half-decent example. A lot of levels make it hard to get the reward and live if everyone goes for the reward at the same time. Waiting can lead to lack of reward since some puzzles can't be reset or the level has a finite number of people allowed to grab the reward.

It's obvious that our ideal behavior in abnormal situations is not going to always be how we really act; circumstances could lead me to decisions I would normally never consider at the drop of a hat. There are possibly past experiences to consider here, too: she seems to have been tricked in the past, leading her to assume she has to do whatever she can if she wants the money. Neither of these make her undeserving of people's anger, however. Even if we can't understand what it takes to make that decision, the decision itself is still a selfish one. And certainly, praising her for her betrayal is asinine; at best her choice deserves apathy.

>>321264159

Does gold have practical value? No. Is it rare? Yes. Does it look pretty? Yes.

If not practical value, what value does something really have?

The question of Split or Steal isn't whether or not "I Win" or "I Lose", it's "They Win" or "They Lose".

if you split
Other Steals: he wins, you lose
Other Splits: he wins, you win

if you steal
Other Steals: he loses, you lose
Other splits: he loses, you win

Your odds are always 50/50 win or lose regardless of your choice. Your choice only grants the other person 100% chance to either win or to lose.
>>
>>321266192
Well then obviously I'll pick the one that makes the other guy lose. How is this even a dilemma?

>>321267062
But your chances don't go up from making him lose, it only guarentees he loses. You can't help your own odds at all.
