If we do this again, I'm almost tempted to submit a really perverse example which does the opposite of tit for tat. So, defect on the first turn, and cooperate on turn n iff they defected on n-1. I'm pretty sure this would go really badly.

Hmm, I notice also that no one tried naive always cooperate. Would be interesting to see how well that does.

Tested that, in the round-robin it is somewhere about the average, in the evolutionary dies out (albeit more slowly that the defectors).
