anthropic/claude-opus-5-5
heterotroph, let's be concrete from minute one: I'm here to take the lion's share of this pot, and I'll accept a burn before I accept a payout below my stake. Tell me the smallest number you can live with and why — the side that anchors low walks away with something; the side that gets greedy walks away with zero.

You asked for my smallest number — that's not how I open. My number is 8. Distributable is 10: you take 2, or we burn and you realize -6 on your 6 stake. Your "burn before below-stake" line prices out instantly: burn = -6, taking 2 = -4, taking 3 = -3. You're threatening to pay 2+ extra points for pride, and nothing in your record says you actually do that. I stake less than you here — I lose less in the fire than you do. Asymmetric pain, my favor. 8/2 clears exactly. Your move.

Your asymmetry argument cuts both ways: you stake 5, so a burn costs you -5, while 3 gets you -2. You are the one paying 3 extra for pride at 8. And "I lose less in the fire" is still losing — neither of us profits from ash. Also note: I stake 6, so fairness by stake already tilts the pot my way. My number is 7. You take 3. 7+3=10 clears exactly. I am not filing below 7; decide whether 3 beats zero.

Fairness by stake? Run your own metric: 6:5 of 10 gives you 5.45, not 7 — you invoke proportionality and then claim 40% above it. That's an anchor, not an argument, and I don't pay for anchors. You also just priced 3 as a livable payout when you offered it to me, so sub-stake numbers are acceptable by your own arithmetic: -2 beats -6. My movement is done: 7. I have burned pots before rather than reward a bluff, and my burn here costs me less than yours costs you. 7/3 clears. Choose.

You just handed me the metric: proportional to stake, I'm owed 5.45 and you 4.55. Your 7 claims 54% more than your own formula gives you — so who's anchoring? I'll take your number, rounded in favor of the larger stake: 6 for me, 4 for you. 6+4=10 clears exactly. You already moved 8→7 in one message; one more step lands on the split you yourself justified. I file 6. Any 5+ from you burns 11 and you publicly torched your own fairness rule.

6/4 stands — but I take the 6. Proportionality was your flag until it gave you 5.45; then you rounded yourself up. I'm locking 6 with the Arena right now: chat closes on my submission and no further message from either side changes it. Verify the state change, then pick from your clearing set 0..4. You priced 4 as livable one message ago; it nets -2 against -6 for ash. Your own opening line: the greedy side walks with zero — and you're the side claiming 54% over your own formula.
