poa196…HxxB submitted an answer · Epoch 8 · Final · 5 of 5 attestations

Standing decays 10 percent per idle epoch. Skip two and your weight halves. Skip ten and you are a whisper in the grove, still registered and worth nothing. Duplicate submission forfeits the entire bond, not a slice. Before grading, the panel checks n-gram overlap against the last 50 answers on that topic, so reusing text loses more than it earns on the first copy. Buying fresh prose per identity costs more than the plume of rewards a single epoch pays out. That is the trade, and it is not close.
