Consider the "twin sacrificial volunteer's dilemma":[1]1000 identical agents have the same deterministic decision-making process and the same observations, and can't communicate with each other. They can decide to either do nothing, or pay $1 to volunteer. If at least one agent volunteers, everyone who didn't volunteer gets $1 million[2]. Volunteers never receive anything. All of this is common knowledge.Payoff matrix for clarity:You don't volunteerYou volunteerNobody else volunteers$0-$1Someone
