Acacia - a classic prisoner's dilemma
 

The Acacia stuff is actually a surprisingly accurate large scale real life version of the prisoner's dilemma, complete with people playing black (signing the contract), people playing white (fighting acacia), people using the TFT strategy (boycotting companies that sign the contract), etc.

I think I'm gonna start taking notes here, this has the makings of a great case study :thumbsup

Looks more like the Stockholm Hostage Syndrome to me..

So far I haven't seen any people actually showing sympathy for Acacia yet :glugglug

I'm seriously considering doing a study of webmasters' reactions to the Acacia situation though. Only thing I'm not quite sure of is if they'll answer surveys truthfully.

who is acacia is he a member of this board?

what sites do they run?

youve been talking to the wrong set of people then.. ;)

lol, you're integrated

Acacia is a beautiful sexy hot chick that everyone wants to fuck for free although it seems that in the end you get fucked by her.

Some have.. almost symptomatic of the situation where a hostage finds their captives to be their friends.... (ie. companies that have settled are now in open dialogue with Acacia, and may end up ADMIRING their business model and seek to emulate it).

So you can either just pay up and accept the fact, or get a DNA test to confirm if it is yours.
