Prisoners Dilemma Game thoughts


I enjoyed the dilemma game.  I realized that most of the people would lie for their well being.  Such as Hannah and I, We would tell the other group that lets both confess so that we would each gets one point but Hannah and I would trick them and in the end us deny and them confess. This resulted in Hannah and I getting two points and the other team negative two points. This worked for a little while but then everyone turned on us and we lost. I think this plays along with Lord of The Flies because in Lord of The Flies the boys are either fighting with each other in groups or coming together in groups. Like if the boys were to play the Prisoners Dilemma game, I believe that Ralph, Simon, And Piggy would be on one team and Jack with the choirboys would be on another team. Ralph and his group would try to both get one point and confess, but Jack in the end would pull out a two and screw him over. I think it also relates to Lord of The Flies because they formed groups. We formed groups of two but they formed larger groups to do tasks but they were never done, this could be a reason why the boys are beginning to turn against each other. The prisoners Dilemma game is a good way of showing strategy and how it may or may not work out for you in the end. It is also a good way of showing how even if you do promise and swear, you cannot really trust anyone but your group/ partner. Jack shows a lack of  trust towards Ralphs decision, and Ralph shows a lack of trust towards Jack telling him he is going to catch a pig.
