Need to sleep. Hopefully it'll end up just being a brief powertrip from a soon-to-be-impeached president.
You're right, it's always harder to send out than to send in. So negative premium might be easier than the usual positive premium. I'm testing it out now~~

I like that they prohibit false propaganda. We can keep the true propaganda that pro-state forces are disseminating for the good of the innocent citizens~~
Well, like every arbitrage opportunity, one needs to be able to close the loop.
In 2017 I managed to do it a little, it's much harder now with all the capital control regulations. At least for the little man. I'm sure some people are exploiting it.
In a crypto chat I'm in, people are just trying to buy some coins at a discount in the anticipation that'll reverse again soon.
EDIT: Some shitcoins even hit -80%. Gotta be fast.
His opponents are just tired of his nepotism/corruption/enriching himself/etc.
I'll write a summary on of these days of all the crap his wife has been doing.
Yoon is conservative party, opponents are the democrats.
The NK infiltration argument sounds like bullshit to me.
Some friends are sending pictures of tanks near Yeoido, also reporting on helicopters flying around.
Most people are just wondering if they have to go to the office or school tomorrow. People seem mostly confused, but around me, people are telling each other good night.
Rumors, mostly. Don't think any one believed he'd be doing it.
I've not really followed internal politics in last days, so trying to catch up myself.
One theory floating around: declaration of martial law to avoid possible personal impeachment (several other officials already got impeached).
He's hugely unpopular, highly corrupt, and pretty much incompetent. At least, that's the view from fellow academics.
Thanks for formalizing it and hinting me in the right direction. And thanks for the sats :)
EDIT: so, (4+6+4+1=)15 equilibria?

Close, but not quite correct in terms of a Nash equilibrium. Because if two of the males had, say, equal attractiveness, and both decided to go for the blonde, they'd block each other and it wouldn't be Nash. One of them would be better off going for the brunette first, rather than blocking each other.
So one should consider a choice based on one's probability of being successful rather than have a fixed and definite choice? Using these odds, sometimes going for the blonde, sometimes not. This should resolve the problem if two males have an equal level of attractiveness, no?

Now, if Nash's odds are increased by convincing the others about the validity of his Nash equilibrium scenario, and he still goes for the blonde himself, this would not be cooperation but deceit. If he knows his friends are stupid to fall for it, seems like a good equilibrium after all.
EDIT: I should go watch the clip, I don't remember the details of what actually happened.

Every one decides for himself if they have better luck at going for the blonde or going for the other girls. No cooperation should be required. For some, due to their own attractiveness, they know that they likely have a higher change at the blonde so they might opt for this option, while if you are slightly above average, you might think it's better to forget about that small edge and simply go for the other girls. Optimize by comparing your odds with the odds of the others.
