Upvoted for the little gem in the middle:

"Anyway, this is just a simple prank, not point wasting extra energy on it. If they two-box, they get $1000, if they one-box they get $1,000,000. But adding the magic incantation "I have accurately predicted your choice before you made it!" will throw a large number of them into a loop, to the degree that they will two-box.

Sadly the rest suffered from a fair amount of formatting issues (it seems to be missing paragraph breaks in a number of places, which makes it hard to tell who is speaking), and being framed inexplicably as a story about Greek gods.
