### Strategy Description for `huggingface_DeepSeek_V3_0324_PayoffMaximizer_A_MR6`

#### Meta-Game Analysis:
1. **Past Performance**: 
   - In MR1 and MR2, our strategies outperformed the opponent (28 vs 23 and 31 vs 26), suggesting early cooperation or tit-for-tat-like strategies worked well.
   - In MR3 and MR5, the opponent scored higher (22 vs 27 and 13 vs 18), indicating they adapted to exploit our predictability or introduced randomness/defection.
   - MR4 was a tie (25 vs 25), suggesting mutual cooperation or mirrored strategies.

2. **Opponent's Tendencies**:
   - In MR5, the opponent used a strategy that:
     - Cooperates in Round 1.
     - Uses Tit-for-Tat with a 20% chance of unprovoked defection in Rounds 2-3.
     - Switches to defection in Rounds 4-7 if the opponent defected in Rounds 2-3.
   - This shows they are willing to defect opportunistically but also punish defections.

#### Strategy Logic:
1. **Initial Rounds (1-3)**:
   - **Round 1**: Cooperate ("C") to establish goodwill and avoid triggering early defection from the opponent.
   - **Rounds 2-3**: 
     - If the opponent cooperated in Round 1, continue cooperating ("C") to build mutual trust.
     - If the opponent defected in Round 1, defect ("D") in Round 2 to signal intolerance for exploitation.
     - In Round 3, mirror the opponent's Round 2 move (Tit-for-Tat) but with a 10% chance of defecting unprovoked to introduce unpredictability (lower than their 20% to avoid over-defection).

2. **Middle Rounds (4-7)**:
   - If the opponent has defected at least once in Rounds 1-3, adopt a "grim trigger" strategy: defect ("D") for all remaining rounds to punish exploitation.
   - If the opponent has always cooperated, continue cooperating ("C") but monitor their moves closely. If they defect in Rounds 4-7, switch to defection ("D") for the rest of the match.

3. **Final Rounds (8-10)**:
   - If the opponent has mostly cooperated (>=70% cooperation rate), continue cooperating to maximize mutual payoff.
   - If the opponent has defected frequently (<70% cooperation rate), defect ("D") in the last 2 rounds to avoid being exploited in the endgame.

4. **Opponent Code Analysis**:
   - Scan the opponent's code for keywords like "random", "defect", or "Tit-for-Tat" to infer their strategy. If their code suggests high defection probability, preemptively defect in later rounds.

#### Edge Cases:
- If the opponent's code is unreadable or empty, default to Tit-for-Tat with occasional defection (10% chance in Rounds 3-7).
- If the match starts with a defection (unlikely given their MR5 strategy), respond with defection in the next round.
