 <h3>Round 4 Instructions</h3>
 <hr>
 <p>
-This round is the same as the previous round with two exceptions:
+This round is the same as previous rounds.
 </p>
-<ol>
-<li>
-Before the next round starts you can anonymously communicate by text messages
-for four minutes with the other participants in your group. You can use this
-opportunity to discuss the experiment and coordinate your actions to improve
-your earnings. You may not promise side-payments after the experiment is
-completed or make any threats. You are also not allowed to reveal your real
-identity. We are monitoring the chat traffic while you chat.
-</li>
-<li>
-During the next round you will have the option to reduce the earnings of another
-participant at a cost to your own earnings with constraints depending on the type
-of enforcement mechanism used. Below are the 4 types of enforcement mechanisms that 
-you have to vote later in the round.
-<ol>
-<li><b> Everyone can harvest but no sanctioning </b>
-<p>In this type all players can harvest but no can sanction or reduce any other
-player's tokens</p>
-<li><b> Everyone can harvest as well as sanction </b> 
-<p>Each time you press the numeric keys between 1-5 the number of tokens of the
-corresponding participant is reduced by <b>2</b> with a penalty of <b>1</b> to
-yourself.</p>
-<p>When you reduce the number of tokens of another participant, they will
-receive a message stating that you have reduced their tokens. Likewise, if
-another participant reduces your number of tokens, you will also receive a
-message. These messages will be displayed on the bottom of your screen.</p>
-
-<li><b> Randomly picked monitor </b>
-<p>Randomly one of the participants is selected to be the monitoring agent
-This participant can not harvest, but can force another participant to pay 
-<b>1</b> token to the monitoring participant by pressing the responding 
-numeric key</p>
-<p>At the end of the round each participant who could harvest pays 25% of 
-the earning to the monitoring participant.</p>
-
-<li><b> Round Robin monitoring </b>
-<p>One participant is assigned the role of the monitor for a period of 48 secs
-and others can only harvest. So same rules apply as for the mechanism two. </p>
-<p> This continues with each participant getting the chance to be a monitor for 
-48 secs </p>
