Aiming towards replacing Chicken (game) with this article. Pete.Hurd 20:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Note, see Chicken (game) for edit history of material prior to 5NOV2006. I copied everything from there over here then. Pete.Hurd 00:06, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

On page 30 of A course in game theory (MIT, 1994, ISBN 0-262-65040-1) Osborne & Rubenstein write the sentence " Hawk-Dove is also known as "Chicken". " (quotes, ital as in original). Pete.Hurd 18:15, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

The page Talk:Chicken (game) has all the discussion that ought to be here, it may be worth discussing things there rather than here... Pete.Hurd 06:40, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Do you think we should move this to Congestion game and include the possibility of multiplayer games? Between discoordination, crowding, and congestion game all three terms are relatively obscure, but I think congestion wins out. Monderer & Shapley credit Rosenthal, R. W. (1973). “A Class of Games Possessing Pure-Strategy Nash Equilibria,” Int. J. Game Theory 2, 65–67. with defining the term, but I haven't looked that one up yet. ~ trialsanderrors 07:40, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm, I'll look into this Pete.Hurd 19:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Rosenthal article online here. ← Turns out the term appears nowhere in the paper, still a good reference. ~ trialsanderrors 11:33, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
