3 WAY PRISONER'S DILEMMA - sensitIV

[idolpro]

[ The room you wake up in is barren. The floor, walls, and ceiling are all metal, and the only furnishings are a large television-sized touchscreen monitor and a massive pane of glass cutting through the room, separating Lucifel from the rest of the unit. You can beat against the glass as much as you like, but it won't break. Both the touchscreen monitor and the elevator doors are on the same side of the room as everyone but the hostage.

Once Mukuro finishes his intro spiel, the monitor display switches to a catalogue of pictures of flowers, each with their name, associated meaning, and a checkbox underneath them: ]

Amaryllis (Red&White) - Talkative
Baby's Breath - Purity of Heart
Calla Lily (White) - Maidenly Desire
Camellia (Red) - Perish with grace
Camellia (White) - Waiting
Cherry Blossom - Transience of all things
Foxglove - Insincerity
Hydrangea (Blue) - Heartlessness
Iris - Faithfulness
Lantana - Change of Heart
Marigold - Despair
Morning Glory - Willful promise
Mountain Laurel (Red) - Ambition
Oleander - Caution
Poppy (Red) - Fun-loving
Poppy (White) - Rejoice
Poppy (Yellow) - Success
Tulip (Red) - Fame/Charity/Trust
Yarrow (White) - Conflict

No, we'll-- we'll lose our only way to communicate with other teams if we do that...

Does it matter? More than likely they're going to betray. [ hello my name is dandelion loki and i have zero faith in people ]

No, that's... that's exactly how you shouldn't think for the prisoner's dilemma. It'll lead to the worst possible outcome.

And we have two whole other teams to worry about. We don't even know which ones they are. Can you really guarantee that they're not going to betray?

1/2

[sharply:]

No! I can't!

2/2

[--winces and takes a deep breath, trying to school himself back into something more composed.]

But there are teams that I think wouldn't choose betray, and what would happen if we were grouped with them? Heart Soldier Senshi, for example.

woop also 1/2

[ ......... and mentioning Heart is just a double whammy. ] ..... Anubis... if we trust someone who betrays us... [ it's a weak objection. ... he's just... ]

[rollwillpowercheck]

I know.

[just. a weary acknowledgement.]
