Description

Etymology

The species name refers to the Tugai forest, the type locality.[2]

gollark: It is, yes.
gollark: The iterated version has them do it repeatedly, with knowledge of each other's previous moves.
gollark: Essentially, each round, each player either cooperates or defects.If both cooperate, they attain 2 points. If one cooperates and the other defects, the defector attains 3 points and the cooperator attains 0 points. If both defect, they attain 1 point. Different versions use different actual numbers but the concept is the same if the relative orderings are preserved.
gollark: Iterated prisoners' dilemma is a game-theoretic construct.
gollark: I see.
