This is exactly Prisoner's Dilemma and all relevant literature applies. Iterate a few times with a large population and the optimal strategy goes to all sorts of weird places.

Well, in the Prisoner's Dilemma is that you can't communicate or trust each other: you're assuming everyone acts in self-interest.

...which is exactly the opposite of the assumption I make with my friends, especially when the stakes are this low.
