Godamnit. I was totally expecting Ekaros to pick kill again, too. Now I feel bad. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) Don't feel bad, I'm pretty sure his strategy is, "Heads, I trade, tails I kill."

There is a great story called "The Day of The Wolf", by Fritz Leiber, in which when humans meet, they will either mate or kill.

You know this reminds me of when I played the Jedi Knight games where you get to choose whether you are going to follow the light or dark side. I have to say, the dark side was just a lot more fun.

Wasn't this basic idea tested in a university study? If i recall correctly they found that the majority of people chose to be trusting.

Yeah, the basic idea has been done dozens of times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_war_gameThe goal here is actually not this prelim game. I have some decidedly not basic variations I want to try out, including, as I said earlier, trying to start a war (and then seeing what can be done to prevent it)

Do these type of games take into account people like me who will try to win within the parameters of the game? ie. I would probably trade for awhile and then try and doublecross to jump ahead at opportune times. I like to test boundaries. Does it require a large sample size to even things out?

Well, the later games won't have a pre-set end number of turns. In "War," (and the later games) in fact, I'm going to set a victory condition. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

I'm not sure why, but I find this really fascinating to watch ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Will it turn into all out war, or will eventually a stable kind of peace be settled ... *eats popcorn*
