That doesn't make sense to me, unless you're assuming that the player isn't capable of self-modification. If it was, wouldn't it modify itself so that its copies won't try to win individually, but cooperate to obtain the outcome that it prefers before the copying?
Yes, that's right. I've shifted focus from correct program behavior to correct human behavior, because that's what everyone else here seems to be talking about. If the problem is about programs, there's no room for all this confusion in the first place. Just specify the inputs, outputs and goal function, then work out the optimal algorithm.
