We consider a two-team game between (protagonist) honest stake ($0.5< S_H\le 1$) and (adversarial) cabal stake ($1 - S_H$), with $|H|$ honest and $|C|$ cabal players, that have $S_H = \sum_{i\in H}S_i$ honest stake and $1-S_H = \sum_{i\in C}S_i$ cabal stake. They compete for total fixed reward $E_H + E_C = 1$, with honest emission $E_H$ and cabal emission $E_C$, respectively. Then the stake updates to $S_H'=S_H+\tau E_H$ and $S_C'=(1 - S_H)+\tau E_C$, where $\tau$ decides the emission schedule. We normalize stake after the emission update, so that $\sum S'=1$. The honest objective $S_H\le E_H$ at least retains scoring power $S_H$ over all action transitions in the game, otherwise when $E_H\le S_H$ honest emission will erode to 0 over time, despite a starting condition of $0.5\lt S_H$.
