1) Totalitarian? Please. I'm helping you by seeding bosses to you and you stab me in the back, I don't want you or need you as an "ally" because your intent in allying with me is not to cooperate but to seize advantage from me as soon as the opportunity arises. In real life, we would not help people who treat us like that. Despite that this is a game we play, we are real humans behind these aliases.

2) I have repeatedly said I care less when a random steals my MVPs than an ally BECAUSE I have control over which allies I send it to, and, as stated, I don't want to help people who will steal from me if I ever leave them the opportunity. To not leave them the opportunity is, at times, to take away value from myself out of fear.

I have to ask, have you ever played with a high powered deck (20k+ DP or so)? I have a few times now. Damage and combat in general is littered with RNG hits that no one has any control over. Allies SHOULD be understanding of this.

Quite a few times last episode, Coholips and I each had missed MVP on L8s we clearly two cubed. I wasn't in the chat when one of his L8s in such a state dropped in my queue. I knew it was up to me to sacrifice a cube to his L8 so that others would have little to no opportunity to steal his MVP. He extended me this same courtesy through the event, and I consider him one of my better allies because of this. Thanks again, Coho! :) I guess we will just have to agree to disagree then. You have certain expectations from your allies, and that is fine. I don't. I make sure to take MVP if I want it before seeding. To say that your way is the best way is just your opinion. I can show you that I do well also without your approach, so clearly there are multiple paths to success, and my path is not necessarily a dickish path. I am not stealing anything, just as people are not stealing from me when I don't TAKE MVP.

I have played with a strong deck before yes, and sure the RNG sucks but I just don't see how that translates into what you are saying. With a better defensive deck you can minimize RNG problems.
