I don't understand the reference to Core Wars. That is a competitive game, where the objective is to destroy the opposing program. To paraphrase a popular movie, "two programs enter, one program leaves".

Also, it should be noted that in the original Prisoner's Dilemma, communication between the prisoners doesn't really help much. Even after agreeing to cooperate, each individual may still want to defect and get the highest possible outcome (going free). We should probably start up a whole new topic on Game Theory. We also need to work in references to rationality? and superrationality?. -- ansible
