well...I might have played Hawkbot instead; Hawkbot spends 9.999 seconds dithering before finally defecting, so it does insanely well against any opponent that tries to run it.
Anybody who runs the other program without an interrupt timer and so times out is, as you put it, “clearly insane”. Hawkbot gets 1 against any sane opponent that tries to run it.

I reread the payoff matrix some time after posting that....and the defect-bot test was only the first in a series of tests I had planned out.
Forget sanity—if your opponent fails to play, the most you can get is one point. Hawkbot is awful.
