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.

Godamnit. I was totally expecting Ekaros to pick kill again, too. Now I feel bad. Cry


Oh come on.  What's your excuse for the first round then? 

Not criticising you, I would have probably done the same thing for the fun of it too.

Was trying to prove Chaos Theory

lol.

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.
I hear they have cookies.

Don't feel bad, I'm pretty sure his strategy is, "Heads, I trade, tails I kill."

Oh that one is good too Grin

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.

I say it's a childish waste of time.
Then instead of childishly wasting your time posting this, you should have clicked "back."

Societal total points: 29
Point totals:
Rassah: 6
Elwar: 4
FCTaiChi: 4
Foxpup: 4
wdmw: 4
Ekaros: 3
FenixRD: 2
Cameltoemcgee: 2

Clearly, the best way to get ahead in society is to arrange a trade with someone in a dark alley and then murder them.
It's only round 2. Just as in real life, killers can prosper, but not usually for long.

We're just waiting on you and Cameltoemcgee.

Cameltoemcgee can't play any more. I killed him, remember?  Grin

In all honesty, if he doesn't reply soon, we may have to move on without him, with me taking his place.

I should have specified a time limit for replies.  Undecided

I think set time limit, and then random choise or pre-provided rules might be best option.
