[iaiiyekb] Mexican standoff

As explored by others, the three-way duel as depicted in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is ripe with exploration with game theory.

Actions: wait, fire at one of the other two players, fire up into the air.

What are the players' utilities for the various possible outcomes?

Is it a single round or multiple round game?

What are the players' probabilities of hitting their target?

Add a mechanism so that "everyone waits" is not Nash equilibrium.
