This is not true in a live and death scenario, because with asymmetric payoffs like that - termination being the down side risk - it is not at all „rational“ to jump to the answer that gives the highest probability of success, if that answer still has a non-zero risk of death.
- goldcd 5y agoThen as I mentioned below, you neither of you send a message and the game remains open indefinitely.
- nkmnz 5y agoHow do you do that after you’ve been killed for screaming „blue“?
- goldcd 5y agoBut I'm only killed if they don't say blue and end the game on that - if they stay silent the game runs forever. So still think it makes sense to say it. It might get through and they repeat and we win. It might not, and they'd be taking a guess that I'd said it. (but the alternate would be I've not sent a message, providing best output of game-running forever/death - so if they presumed I was logical, they'd know I'd said 'blue')
