As I said in the first footnote, sometimes the best that an agent can do is tie with another strategy (ETA: Or, more precisely, go to war with the other strategy, at symmetric odds.)

Wouldn't the LNRs die out fairly quickly against any kind of CliqueBot, or TDT, or even DefectBot?

I think jim was hybridizing this with CliqueBot. So it plays as a CliqueBot except that among other CliqueBot hybrids it does the large number thing. So it (roughly speaking, with the right details) first just dominates then it plays silly games. :)
