Abstract
We define the concept of social cost of deviation in symmetric non-cooperative games with a deterministic or a random number of players. We show that a version of the principle of indifference applies here when looking for the socially optimal symmetric strategy profile. A number of examples of queueing games will exemplify the usefulness of this concept.
