Uncorrelated asymmetry

Example: hawk - dove - bourgeois
- Bourgeois strategy: if owner play hawk, if intruder play dove
- If owner and intruder are equally frequent and get equal payoffs:

Opponent: Hawk Dove Bourgeois

Actor: Hawk

Dove

Bourgeois

(V-C)/2 V 3V/4-C/4

0 V/2 V/4

(V-C)/4 3V/4 V/2

If V > C, then H is pure ESS; if V < C, then B is pure ESS

Therefore, arbitrary asymmetries should resolve conflicts

Opponents differ, but not with regard to fighting ability
