"any coalition of players that decides to deviate (collectively or individually) cannot win total payoff greater than their group security value"

This phrase was what caused me to assume that a strong Nash Equilibrium was meant.

Ok, after re-reading his post, I agree he probably did mean "strong Nash Equilibrium". Can you make a note in your post that both of you are really talking about the Strong Nash equilibrium? As far as I can tell, 'all players run Freaky Fairness' is actually a (plain) Nash equilibrium so the current wording is rather confusing.

Changed it, and I think you are correct about it being an ordinary Nash Equilibrium (one of infinitely many).
