What shall we name the establishment?
Okay, let's stop here for now.

I received a request on NS regarding cannibals.
Option 1 - allow cannibalism.
Option 2 - allow it only with mutual consent ("because people donate their bodies to science, why deny them the opportunity to diversify the diet of other people?").
Option 3 - prohibit it.
I chose option 3, and almost everything collapsed. I don't know something about the inhabitants of my country. Apparently, they are fans of the band "Kuvalda".

Смысл жизни в том, что жизнь на тебе не заканчивается
Небо – угроз не слышит
Небо – ведёт особый счёт
Небо – тебя найдёт

Option 3 - ban it.
I chose option 3, and almost everything disappeared.

It's quite an addictive thing if you like collecting cards.
I wanted to share a situation, but for you to understand, I'll tell you a bit about the item itself.
In NS, the final price in the auction is formed as the average between the seller's price and the buyer's bid (rounded up to 0.01).
For example, a seller offered 0.50 for a card, buyers bargained among themselves, raised their bids, and in the end, the auction was won by a person with a bid of 0.59. So, in the end, the card will be sold for (0.50 + 0.59) / 2 = 0.545, rounded up to 0.55. By the way, such a bid of 0.59 is generally useless, because a bid of 0.60 also gives 0.55.
The auction is multiple, i.e., several identical cards can be traded simultaneously, and in the end, say, three sellers will be matched with three buyers. In case of equal bids, priority goes to the one who made the bid earlier.
Now let me tell you about the high-quality gaming I encountered.
Cards in the game can be disenchanted at face value. I saw an offer to sell a card below face value, i.e., essentially free money.
The face value was 0.50, and the offer was for 0.48. Next to it hung another offer, exactly at face value 0.50.
I place a bid of 0.49 like this:
Because it's stupid to bid 0.50 — that only works if I'm the only buyer.
But when I bid 0.49, ideally my bid will remain the lowest. If someone bids 0.50, they get the card from the second offer, and I get mine for 0.49.
But player 2 comes along and places bids like this:
He takes both offers. I, as the lower bid, got squeezed out, I'm defeated and cancel my bid.
It would seem the person outplayed me and we could part ways, but then another big spender (player 3) enters the game.
He places bids cunningly like this:
He himself adds a sell offer for 0.5 and two buy bids at 0.5.
As I said earlier, with equal bids, the one placed earlier is considered higher. His buy bid is the lowest priority and therefore matches the cheap offer of 0.48. And he added his second buy bid with the expectation that such a trick wouldn't be pulled on him.

I'm currently playing NS and enjoying the auction system.
It's quite addictive if you like collecting cards.
You can farm cards reasonably well with twinks (and sell them, transferring currency to your main account, and then buy what you need with your main). Or join a large region like The North Pacific (specifically with "the"), join a card guild there, and they'll explain everything further (respect to the people whose enthusiasm keeps this going). All these attempts to buy cheaper cards, trade for a profit... aren't worth the effort.
I also played it for a while and quickly realized that fighting against whales is pointless, and there's not much fun in it.

But all these attempts to buy cheaper based on luck, and trade somewhere to profit from the difference... aren't worth the effort.
Oh... that's very strange to hear.
It's like hearing this response about playing Heroes:
"Well, you certainly won't be able to compete with experienced players. But go to the Heroesworld forum, there are knowledgeable people there. They'll tell you how to play Jebus. Practice thoroughly, and after some time you'll be able to compete with average players. Although, in general, Jebus is garbage and not worth it."
...
Can't you just play?
I'm not going to compete with whales, and I don't even set such goals for myself. I also don't have multiple accounts in any games. Nevertheless, I enjoy just playing in my own niche. Even with one account, most of the gray, green, and blue cards are quite accessible. And epic and legendary cards are really for whales.
There are over 48,000 green cards from the third season in the game, over 15,000 blue ones, and countless gray ones - you can collect them endlessly.
I'm perfectly happy with this, without any guilds or whales.

“Well, you certainly won’t be able to compete with experienced players. But go to the heroesworld forum, there are some knowledgeable guys there. They’ll tell you how to play Jebus. If you practice diligently, you’ll be able to compete with average players after a while. Although, Jebus is garbage and it’s not worth it.”
