 I am a diehard fan of Law & Order (the original only, of course), and this game plays out basically every episode, to some respect.  Theirs is a one-shot, however, so it's different from playing the game, where you have to have one-ups on the computer with successive rounds.  The way to win against the computer is just to take advantage of the cooperation until the last minute, then compete when the computer has no hope of retaliation.  That seems to me to be the way to do it, anyway.... 

Every battle I have had with my darling brother has played out in this way.  For instance, if I throw away my mother's work by mistake (hypothetical, of course), and she is ready to murder whoever done it, there is a very real crisis at hand.  If my brother and I both remain silent, we will both endure her anger and move on.  If, however, I blame my brother for the whole thing I will be free from blame, and my brother will be grounded.  Hahahaaha-I think I would be advised to do this, since the one-time shot says I should maximize my own profit and completely disregard his.  This usually works extremely well for me, because even if my brother competes against me, tells on me and gets me grounded I will still be able to beat him up afterwards, which would successfully deteriorate both our profits...
