How this works
You play three matches against three different computer opponents. In each round you choose Open trade (cooperate) or Protect (defect). Payoffs each round:
| They open trade | They protect | |
|---|---|---|
| You open trade | 3, 3 | 0, 5 |
| You protect | 5, 0 | 1, 1 |
Notes: Payoffs read (you, them). Open trade is cooperation; protect is defection.
The continuation rule: each match runs at least three rounds. After that, at the end of every round a random draw continues the match with probability 0.8. There is no announced final round: neither you nor the computer knows when a match ends.
Your task while playing: pay attention to when cooperation holds and when it breaks down. Your round record from this session is the required anchor for your Discussion 2 post.

Session complete
Submit for Activity 2.2: take a screenshot of the completion block below and upload it to the 2.2 assignment in Canvas. Then download your round record; you will quote specific rounds from it in your Discussion 2 post.
For your post, note: the match and round where cooperation held longest, the round where it first broke down, and what in the opponent's behavior explains the break.
