But what if some of us try to play with irrational tactics? Or give image of such thing... On other hand disinformation and appearing random is valid tactic maybe... Who knows what I'm up to Let's see how this works out... You can, that's the point There is pretty good proof that behaving rationally, and particularly superrationally, especially in a perfect information game, is most societally beneficial, and typically pretty individually beneficial as well. But, ironically, people in real life indeed almost never act according to what we could describe as rational, and certainly not superrational.

Why do you say this? I see plenty of instances of irrationality, no doubt, but I'm not sure it's right to say that people almost never act rationally in the real world. If that was the case, the world would be almost completely chaotic.

People (the market) tend to make the best choices for themselves. Rational self-interest. Not always true of course.

It would be hard to track rationality in a mathematical sense, on the individual level. On societal or ecosystem level the amount of balance required for some things is quite amazing.

I should have specified a time limit for replies. I think set time limit, and then random choise or pre-provided rules might be best option.

Clearly, the best way to get ahead in society is to arrange a trade with someone in a dark alley and then murder them.
