Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma

In this game, the forum will be facing off against six different Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma AIs to score the most points. You will play 5-9 rounds against an AI, and after each round you will see how well the AI you competed against did against all the rest, and you will play against the next in line. Once all AIs have been played, the game will reset and you may try to outdo your old score using your new knowledge.

Each match you may either Steal, Defend, or Gift. The option that the majority of posters pick will be the forum's choses pick. Players may also choose to repeat an action X number of times - or until the AI changes theirs, or until the round ends.
- Steal means entering one point so that your opponent loses three.
- Defending means entering zero points, and you cannot be stolen from.
- Gifting means entering one point so that your opponent gains three.

This results in that...
-If both steal, both lose four points.
-If both gift, both gain two points.
-If both defend, neither gain any points.
-If one steals and one defends, the defender loses nothing while the thief loses a point.
-If one gifts and one steals, the gifter loses four points and the thief gains two.
-If one gifts and one defends, the defender gains three points and the gifter loses one.

-Put simply-


The competitors in this game will be-
The Forum
- Violet -
Donny
Harold
Noah
Dawn
Clara

Your first opponent is Violet. Do you defend, gift, or steal?

[Glass]

Gift.

[Ddynamo]

Gift.

You're so nice. Although you might have wanted a nice friendship, Violet was not so trusting of you, and Defended against you. Maybe it's time for revenge... or maybe trust takes time.
 - You lost 1 point.

Do you defend, gift, or steal?

[Glass]

Hmn. Defend.

[Ddynamo]

Hmn. Defend.

Yeah, maybe it's not time for revenge just yet - though a bit of caution couldn't hurt. Though... Violet obviously DID trust you now, and used Gift. At least the scores are even again. Let's hope your act of distrust didn't give a reason for her to distrust you.

[Kashyyk]

Gift

[TopHat]

Defend.

[Glass]

Defend.
I've got two ideas: it'll cycle, or it'll copy our last move. As such, next round, it should either steal, or defend. Either way, it'll be best to defend now to check what the pattern is.

Looks like there's a bit of mutual distrust this time. You both defended against each other, so neither of you got anything. Well... what now?

Gift this round, steal the next, defend after that, rinse and repeat. They start by defending and copy us after that.

You try to open up by gift, to which Violet defends from successfully. You ended up losing a point for her to gain three, but she might trust you again next time.
 - You lost 1 point.
 - Violet gained 3 points.

Wow, what a betrayal of trust. This time you steal while she gifted you. That might tick her off later though.
 - You gained 2 points.
 - Violet lost 4 points.

And for the final time, you go on defense when Violet tries to steal. It doesn't work out, and she loses a point while you lose nothing.
 - You gained 0 points.
 - Violet lost 1 point1.

defend

Looks like you were right to mistrust Donny. While you defended, he made a bold move and tried to steal from you.

Violet vs. Donny makes it look like Donny... I have a hunch he enjoys stealing.

Defend.
