And if there were two homo-economicii there, they would have each given MBlume infinity dollars until one of them ran out of cash.

There's a reason humans evolved not to fall into those traps.

Edit: Whoops, brain farted that one. Homo economucii would play a mixed strategy, with a NE of $0 dollars expected gain. Cooperating humans play a strategy where they win $19 every time.

What? No they wouldn't. Giving MBlume infinity dollars is not a Nash equilibrium.

I don't see how any one player can do better in a world where MBlume gets infinity dollars.
