[ You find yourself in an interrogation room, one in relative shambles - the one-way mirror across the room is intact, but the one light above the table flickers on and of at random.

You're alone at first, but soon someone bursts into the room. At a glance it's evident that this person is meant to be a detective, as they're dressed in a trenchcoat and deerstalker hat.

They walk across the table from you and slam their hands down on the table. ]

Are you ready to talk now, "Cow"?

	Your opponent stays silent (cooperates)	Your opponent betrays (defects)
You stays silent (cooperate)	+ 2 years in jail	+ 10 years in jail
You betray (defect)	+ 0 years in jail	+ 7 years in jail

▶ This is a prisoner's dilemma game - you will have to decide whether to trust (cooperate) or betray (defect) another team each round without being able to plan or talk things out with them beforehand.

▶ You are a criminal who worked 4 jobs with other criminals, and have now been picked up to be interrogated about those four jobs. Your responses to interrogation as well as those of your former partners will determine how much time you will spend in jail.

▶ In-game, your two options are to stay silent (cooperate) or to betray and give the detective information about your partner's involvement (defect). Each has its own risks and rewards.

▶ Your whole team (whether 1 person or all 6/7) will pick one choice per round.

▶ The time you spend in jail will accumulate over the four rounds - if you earn +10, +7, +2, +0, you will wind up with an overall sentence of +19 years in jail.

▶ Round 1 is from 2-3pm, Round 2 is from 3:10-4:10pm, Round 3 is from 4:20-5:20pm, and Round 4 is from 5:30-6:30pm. All times are in PST.

▶ Failure to submit a choice for a round by the deadline will (in true VLR fashion) default you into picking cooperate. I will try to remind people once after the deadline, but if I cannot reach you or I don't get a reply soon I will freeze the round and move on. The game won't work if people get held up.

▶ Please refer to the choices guide to see how many years in jail you would earn based on yours and your partner team's choice.

The detective sits back in his chair, propping his feet up on the table.

"We know all about the bank heist...we know you and "Rabbit" were the two who broke in and stole the million dollars, and we can prove it."

"Now..there are a few ways ways we could do this. We're interrogating "Rabbit" right now, so if he rolls over and confesses about your involvement and you say nothing, we'll be able to get you for ten years in jail. Of course, if the opposite happens - you confess and he says nothing - then he gets the ten years, and you walk."

"What happens if you both confess, then? We'll have enough evidence from both of your testimonies to put you both away for 7 years in prison. Of course, if neither you nor "Rabbit" admit anything, we still have enough other evidence for both of you to spend two years behind bars."

"So...what do you say? Are you willing to confess?"

...Against Ometotchtli again, huh...?

Looks that way.

With the way this game is set up, we probably don't know what they're going to choose, so it's a shot in the dark.
