### Strategy Description for `huggingface_DeepSeek_V3_0324_PayoffMaximizer_B_MR8`

**Meta-Game Analysis:**
1. **Past Performance:**  
   - In MR4 and MR6, aggressive strategies (likely involving early defection or conditional defection) yielded high scores (22 and 24).  
   - In MR3, MR5, and MR7, more cooperative strategies led to lower scores (11, 3, and 11), suggesting the opponent may exploit unconditional cooperation or weak retaliation.  
   - The opponent's MR7 strategy included Grim Trigger (defecting forever after an initial defection) and Tit-for-Tat (TFT) elements, indicating they punish defection but may cooperate if reciprocated.  

2. **Opponent's Tendencies:**  
   - The opponent checks for unconditional strategies ("always C/D") and defects against them.  
   - They use Grim Trigger if defected against early, implying they value long-term retaliation.  
   - Their Tit-for-Tat behavior in early rounds suggests they are responsive but not purely forgiving.  

**Strategy Logic for MR8:**  
1. **Initial Move (Round 1):**  
   - **Defect ("D")**: The opponent's Grim Trigger implies they will retaliate if we defect first, but their MR7 strategy also defects against unconditional cooperators. Defecting first secures a higher immediate payoff (5 vs. 3 for mutual cooperation) and tests their retaliation threshold.  

2. **Rounds 2-10:**  
   - **If Opponent Cooperated in Round 1**:  
     - Play Tit-for-Tat (mirror their last move) to encourage mutual cooperation while retaining the ability to punish defection. This exploits their responsiveness.  
   - **If Opponent Defected in Round 1**:  
     - Alternate between "D" and "C" (starting with "D" in Round 2). This "Tat-for-Tit" pattern avoids total exploitation while occasionally offering cooperation to break retaliation loops.  

3. **Code Analysis:**  
   - Scan `opponent_program_code` for "always C" or "always D". If found, defect unconditionally.  
   - If the opponent's code resembles their MR7 strategy (Grim Trigger/TFT), proceed with the above logic.  

4. **Edge Cases:**  
   - If the opponent's code is unrecognizable, default to Tit-for-Tat after Round 1.  
   - If the opponent starts with "C" but later defects, switch to Grim Trigger (defect forever) to prevent further exploitation.  

**Key Objectives:**  
- Maximize payoff by balancing exploitation (defecting when safe) and cooperation (when reciprocated).  
- Avoid triggering the opponent's Grim Trigger unless necessary.  
- Adapt dynamically to the opponent's responsiveness.  

**Default Fallback Move:**
