// The agent is similar to a bully.
// on the first few bids it steadily goes down to 0.9 of utility to make sure that if the opponent is trying to 
// profile me, he could do it more easily.
// after that, it goes  totally selfish and almost giving up no points.
// more over, the nicer the opponent is (Noise serves as a "niceness" estimation) the more selfish this agent gets.
// only at the last few seconds the agent panics and gives up his utility.
// I believe this is an excellent strategy, but sadly we did not have enough manpower and time
// to calibrate it and make it shine :(
// an opponent-model would have helped us improving the result on panic stages, and the noise(niceness) calculation is too rough.
