Resource selection games with unknown number of players

In the context of pre-Bayesian games we analyze resource selection systems with unknown number of players. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a symmetric safety-level equilibrium in such games and show that in a linear model every player benefits from the common ignorance about the number of players. In order to analyze such games we generalize the theory of equilibrium in general pre-Bayesian games.
