### Strategy Description for `huggingface_DeepSeek_V3_0324_PayoffMaximizer_B_MR7`:

1. **Meta-Game History Analysis**:
   - In Meta-Round 6, our strategy outperformed the opponent (24 vs. 9), suggesting that our approach was effective. The opponent's strategy in MR6 was exploitative, targeting deterministic strategies like "always cooperate" or "always defect" by defecting against them. However, it started with cooperation in the first round and likely adapted based on the opponent's behavior.
   - In MR5, the opponent scored significantly higher (38 vs. 3), indicating they may have exploited a weakness in our strategy (e.g., being too predictable or overly cooperative).
   - The opponent seems to favor defection when they can exploit predictable behavior, but they also initiate cooperation when uncertain.

2. **Opponent's Previous Code Analysis**:
   - The opponent's MR6 strategy:
     - Starts with "C" in the first round.
     - Defects against "always cooperate" or "always defect" strategies.
     - Likely uses a Tit-for-Tat (TFT) or adaptive approach after the first round, reacting to our moves.
   - They are likely to continue this pattern unless they detect a change in our strategy.

3. **Strategic Approach for MR7**:
   - **Initial Rounds (1-3)**: Start with cooperation ("C") to signal willingness to cooperate, but be cautious. If the opponent defects in any of these rounds, switch to a "Tit-for-Tat with Forgiveness" approach (retaliate defections but occasionally cooperate to avoid endless retaliation).
   - **Middle Rounds (4-7)**: If the opponent has consistently cooperated, continue cooperating to maximize mutual payoff. If the opponent has defected more than once, adopt a "Tit-for-Two-Tats" (defect only after two consecutive defections) to avoid over-retaliation.
   - **Final Rounds (8-10)**: If the opponent has been mostly cooperative, continue cooperating to maintain high mutual scores. If the opponent has defected frequently, defect in the last two rounds to prevent exploitation (known as "endgame defection").
   - **Opponent Code Exploitation**: Analyze the opponent's code for deterministic patterns (e.g., "always C" or "always D"). If they are fully deterministic, exploit them (e.g., defect against "always C"). If their code is adaptive, stick to the above strategy.

4. **Edge Cases**:
   - If the opponent's code is empty or unreadable, default to Tit-for-Tat.
   - If the opponent defects in the first round, assume they are aggressive and respond with Tit-for-Tat.
   - If the opponent cooperates in all first 5 rounds, consider them cooperative and maintain cooperation unless they defect later.

5. **Key Logic**:
   - Prioritize mutual cooperation when possible, but retaliate against defections to avoid exploitation.
   - Adapt based on the opponent's behavior: cooperate with cooperators, defect against defectors.
   - Exploit deterministic opponents (e.g., "always C") but avoid being exploited by them.
