You would have to sell your firstborn to get a whale to help you in such instances. Many are afraid to help because then they would be a subject for other whales to downvote.
Imo - The only rule worth paying attention to is: if you have less than 100k hp, don't cross the Hive aristocrats, they will destroy you. We are in their domain, they own it. Decentralization is a lie, powering up is a scam to fool bag holders, and If they really wanted they could fork your stake right out from under you and claim it as theirs.
Don't piss off the nobility, try to stay invisible and you'll be okay.
Why is this thread spewing hella facts? well said Johnny. Decentralized is the term we use to fool ourselves. Yunno what happens when a minnow irks a whale?
They become lunch
BAM!
I guess just never put in more than you are willing to lose, as with any game.
Decentralization is a bit of a fools errand indeed... But I would argue that we knew that going into this. LoL. It was very much a "jSun or Blocktrades" watch n see where friends ended up going. At the end of the day, we hangout where our friends are, good, bad, or just neutral....
And definitely piss off your friends, you need to know if they are ride or die, or no. LoL.
