Two UDT agents playing the one-shot deterministic bargaining game should be able to agree to the aircraft carrier/nothing result even without the possibility of compensation, as the UDT-measure of the world where one was offered the aircraft carrier would be the same as the world where the other got the offer, even though they find themselves in one of these worlds. So they can see this situation in the same way as standard game theory agents facing the uncertain game.
They can. But they'll still be using a μSMBS in every individual game, which is a useful result in its own right.
