Dark Posted February 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Look. This thread has nothing to do with paradoxes, dilemmas, or anything else. I posed a question, and you must answer it. If you have other knowledge, that's freaking great. Just answer the question and leave. And please answer the question properly. Don't give me bullshit answers or flaunt your useless just to get +1 post count. Damn. And just to explain it, I need these answers for a psychology project. So try not to be asses about it.

Lemniscate Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Okay, not that you've decided to give the actual reason you're doing this, instead of trying to hide some stupid, self-created mysterioso, I'll answer the question...somewhat:[spoiler=Here you Go]The decision on whether or not to defect or cooperate is based upon several determinants, the first is your opinion of the other person and whether or not they will defect. Here are the possible scenarios, based on both your own loyalty, and the loyalty of the other prisoner:- If you are loyal, and the other prisoner is as well, you will cooperate (and not talk)- If you are loyal, and the other prisoner isn't, it is variable based on degrees of loyalty.- If you are not loyal, and the other prisoner is, you will defect.- If you are not loyal, and the other prisoner isn't as well, you will defect. It's entirely determinant both on your own morality, and your perceived morality of the other person. It provides the moral dilemma of having both your result, and the result of the other person in your hands, at last partially. For myself, the unpredictability of a concept as vague as that which you have presented stops me from truly answering the question to the level that you may consider warranted.

Death Metal Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I'd remain silent. If I get 20 years then so be it. If the police know that I did it then I could use the 5/20 years to ponder what I will do to fix my mistakes so that they won't happen the next time I decide to murder somebody. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People like you are ruining my research. =/ Just answer the damn question. I don't care how intelligent you are or how much about paradoxes you know. I DO NOT GIVE A DAMN. The thread says answer the question. If you cannot do that simple task and post one of the two answers listed, GTFO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon© Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I would rat him out. If he ratted me out, then I took him down with me. If I ratted out, and he didn't, that's good for me. : D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Altair Posted February 27, 2010 Report Share Posted February 27, 2010 If they don't have enough evidence they can't convict me. Anyway, I would rat because I would obviously do the crime with my friend or someone intelligent and we probably wouldn't rat each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkerai Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 [align=center][spoiler=]My first responce would be to comply to everything and act completly pathetic until me and my partner are at the lowest security then break free but seeing as I can't... I would stay silent...if my partner rats me out and can wait 20 years for vengeance and if he stays silent we only get 5 years...I can always wait...time is only an enemy to those who are unprepared...[/align] Also if this is for a project couldn't you have polled people IRL, you have admit that most people on YCM will either apply logic or rat their partner out skewing the results...

Zexaeon Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 [spoiler=Answer]I stay quiet. The only partner I would work with for something as heinous as crime would be someone I trust in the highest esteem. As such, I would maintain confidence that my parter would pick the option that would get both of us the least amount of time. Unless we devised a plan beforehand for escaping prison that would require one of us outside, in which case we would obviously manipulate it so that the one who needs to be on the outside goes free. Then again, cops making deals are not to be trusted, and so no matter what, you're probably going to go to jail. Staying Quiet is the best option, considering that.
