Selling Losses (Slutting)

Source: Baldr's Basic Advice (Baldr [1847600]), thread t=16034448.

What It Is

Other players pay you to attack them and deliberately lose the fight. They want to rack up "Successful Defends" for merit points. You get paid cash, they get the merit progress.

Earnings

  • Standard loss: $250k $300k per attack
  • Do NOT accept less than $250k. If you're wasting energy, at least make it worth it.
  • Runaways pay way more but are basically impossible at low stats (their stats vastly exceed yours)

The Xanax Multiplier

This is how you squeeze serious cash out of it:

  1. Do 4 losses = ~$1M
  2. Buy 1 xanax (~$750k $900k), use it = grants 250 energy
  3. Do 10 more losses = ~$2.5M profit
  4. Net gain from 100 base energy: ~$2.5M+

Can repeat 2 3 times/day (xanax has 6 8 hour cooldown). Plus natural energy attacks in between.

A few days of this = enough money to rent a first PI.

How to Find Buyers

Forum: f=59 (Sell and Trade subforum) Look for threads where people post "Paying for defends" or similar.

Always read their post before attacking. Many have specific rules: - "Message me first" - "Fists only" - "No guns"

Break the rules = they use it as excuse not to pay. Follow instructions exactly.

Vet the buyer first: - Check their age (should be 100+ days old) - Check networth (should be $1B+, these are usually rich veterans) - Check enemy count (lots of enemies = possible scammer)

Important Warnings

  • SHORT TERM ONLY. Energy is your most important resource for gym training and reaching level 15.
  • Set a specific goal (e.g. "I need $15M for PI rental"), hit it, then stop entirely.
  • If you slut long term instead of training, you'll delay reaching level 15 and miss out on the real money (flower running).
  • Baldr: "Either don't do it at all, or do it short term, reach your goal, and move on."
