Alice defects	A: 0, B: -3	A: -2, B: -2

Joining:
PM me up to 5 turns' worth of cooperate/defect actions. You may specify conditional actions provided they depend only on your or your opponent's actions or the turn number (e.g. "if my opponent defects on turn 2, defect on round 3 and cooperate on round 4"). Any turn without an unambiguous action during action resolution will be treated as a cooperate action.

Update speed:
When I've received at least 4-ish responses or 48 hours have passed with at least 2-ish responses, I'll post an update.

Scoring:
All participants' action scripts will be tried against all other participants' action scripts. The exact actions performed will be posted in-thread along with anonymized pseudonyms.
