Symbiotic Player Relations

Gameplay relations between players that make successes and failure of one player affect another similarly, and vice versa.
Note that Symbiotic Player Relations does not imply that players always have to collaborate or that this may be the most efficient gameplay strategy or tactic. While symbiosis may be necessary (or obligated), it can also be facultative so that partners in the relationship benefit from it but can exist without it[1].

New pattern created in this wiki. The initial idea of the pattern came from Niklas Kärrstrand (as codependency; this name in not used to avoid confusion since codependency has another meaning within psychiatry).
