There seems to be a bit of a gap vis a vis solutions in the article - someone could set the system up so it doesn't incentivise tanking. The punishment for tanking should be that the teams performed poorly for no compensation. It'

In this context "trust" is something of a euphemism. The US had a big enough military relatively speaking that if they came for your gold then it wasn't feasible to stop them unless you were part of a competing bloc. So, you

Driving on the left side or the right side of a road are equally valid. It's still better if everyone coordinates to pick one. People shouldn't be coerced to give up their culture (in fact, doing that is quite evil) but cultural h
