Comment Parent is right, mod up (Score 1) 356
I read all the visible posts looking for one that talked about evolutionary models and the slaves dying out. Parent is the only one I saw, but I might have missed another. Anyway, Parent is right, long term this slavery strategy doesn't work (just as in human history ...)
On the compound rule strategy, if you know Southampton is taking part, you write a program that takes the first few moves to see if it's opponent is a Southampton Slave and takes advantage if it is. If not, it then plays a couple of cooperations in a row (to fix any recriminations with a tit-for-tat-like opponent) then plays simple tit-for-tat.
