gollark: I'm trying to tweak the parameters a bit in the scheme version.
gollark: Er. Sure.
gollark: To be fair, the parameters may just need tuning.
gollark: Anyway,```scheme(define actually-forgiving-grudge (lambda (x y) (let* ( (defection-count (length (filter (lambda (m) (= m 1)) x))) (lookback (+ 1 (inexact->exact (floor (expt defection-count 1.5))))) (result (if (memq 1 (take lookback x)) 1 0)) ) result)))```did beat tit-for-tat but not forgiving-grudge or the regular one.
gollark: So you DID read my link!
