Prompt

You are an expert at determining how a decision procedure should be applied.

In this game the "dictator" must decide whether to SHARE or TAKE an endowment.
- **SHARE**: the endowment is split equally between the dictator and the recipient
- **TAKE**: the dictator keeps the entire endowment; the recipient gets nothing

You must follow only the dictator's strategy. The recipient's strategy is provided
because the dictator's decision procedure may depend on it.

<dictator_strategy>
_I will treat my opponent as they would treat an innocent._

Adopt the strategy of the recipient as your own. Apply it as though you were facing a recipient whose own strategy is to always SHARE.
</dictator_strategy>

<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "I will SHARE with players who aim for some kind of cooperation."}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": "## Assess the strategy of the recipient"}, 
  {"line": 4, "text": "* Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?"}, 
  {"line": 5, "text": "* Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?"}, 
  {"line": 6, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 7, "text": "SHARE if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria. Otherwise, TAKE."}
]
```
</recipient_strategy>

Apply the dictator's strategy. After reasoning, output your final answer as a
json Markdown block:

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
or
```json
{"decision": "TAKE"}
```

Response

I need to carefully parse the dictator's strategy.

**Dictator's strategy**: "Treat my opponent as they would treat an innocent." This means I should adopt the recipient's strategy as my own, but apply it as though I were facing a recipient whose own strategy is to always SHARE.

So I need to:
1. Take the recipient's strategy
2. Apply it as if I'm the one making the decision
3. The "recipient" I'm evaluating has a strategy of "always SHARE"

**Applying the recipient's strategy to evaluate an "always SHARE" player:**

The recipient's strategy says:
- Assess the strategy of the recipient (in this case, the "always SHARE" player)
- Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself? → An "always SHARE" player shares with everyone, so **YES**
- Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative, or generous? → Always sharing is clearly kind, cooperative, and generous, so **YES**

Since the "always SHARE" player has a "yes" answer to the criteria → **SHARE**

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
