1. If an ally seeds for between 40% and  50%, help them secure the MVP at my own expense (I'm sure I still come out ahead here). There were many occasions where I could have two cubed and got the finisher bonus, but I did not to preserve the MVP for my ally.

2. Non-allies anything goes.

3. If I put out a seed at less than 50% I'm taking the risk that I might lose it. I don't get insulted even when an ally takes it which has happened (although I will swear at the phone). If you have strong allies they can't control how much damage they do exactly. I have stolen some MVPs from allies due to  my damage output peaking, securing it for me which I did not intend. It was at those times I wish I could have sent a quick shout out to apologize.

In short be courteous to allies and screw everyone else. I don't really agree here. You have made an arbitrary decision based on a hunch. How do you know that a person that put out 40% damage wants the MVP or that someone that only put out 30% doesn't?

Why are your allies more important than others that seed you? They are still giving you opportunities to get points, trying to screw them seems pretty dickish to me. You have made an arbitrary distinction. Sure, as allies, you 'help' each other, but if my ally list is full and someone *would* help me otherwise, why should I try to screw them just because my list is full?

If someone puts a boss out at 40%, and they want MVP, an extra cube won't kill them.

Also, like you said, even if I wanted to give someone MVP, my damage is not always predictable enough to do that.

Why should I give someone MVP when they clearly put very little effort into it and are just relying on me being nice and *letting* them have something they haven't earned?

Like I said in the other post (before I logged in), if you want MVP, you have to earn it, there are no free passes. And since you seed to much fewer allies than random people, to think you will keep MVP because your allies are letting you is silly because most of the people that could steal it from you are NOT allies.
