1# AAMAS Writing Style

3Use this when revising the main paper. AAMAS papers need a compact statement of why an
4*interaction* result matters and enough detail for a game theorist and an empiricist to both
5validate it.

7## Revision rules

9- Put the interaction contribution on the first page: the multiagent problem, why single-agent
10  or centralized fixes fail, the mechanism or learning rule, the strategic property, and the
11  evidence.
12- Name the solution concept or incentive property (Nash, correlated, coarse-correlated,
13  no-regret, dominant-strategy truthful, Pareto); an unnamed "equilibrium" is a review flag.
14- Make the game legible: agents, actions, information structure, and payoffs stated once and
15  clearly.
16- Pair every major claim with a proof sketch, a self-play or population experiment, or a
17  deployment result.
18- Use the 8-page body for the core argument and push long proofs, extra opponents, and extended
19  ablations to the appendix (references are unlimited, so cite generously).
20- Keep double-blind wording in self-citations, prior-system references, acknowledgements, and
21  artifact descriptions.

23## Interaction-first discipline

25- State early why the result is genuinely multiagent - what breaks if the other agents are
26  frozen into a static environment. If nothing breaks, the AAMAS framing does not hold.
27- Give each theorem a body-level proof sketch; the appendix proof supports the sketch but never
28  replaces it.
