Prisoner’s dilemma is pretty fun. So, here we go:

If we all vote strictly for ourselves, we get 2 votes. We can publicly plot and scheme all we like, but psychology suggests that we are all very likely to take the selfish route and vote for ourselves after promising to vote for one other person with which we are ‘colluding’ but secretly intend to screw over.

That being said, I’ll make this offer: I’ll split the pot with the first person to respond to this post with a tubmail. I have BP already, so don’t need to win all 5. I’ll give you 3, and take 2 for myself. You get the better end of the deal, and we break out of the prisoner’s dilemma problem. It’s the best option. It’s the only option.

Yeah, like anyone will believe that, especially since toxx appears to apply only to contest hosts and we will never know who voted for whom.

EDIT: We will know who voted for whom, but people still aren’t held to their promises.
