Stats more balanced then the wheels on my car

Disgusting dedication. I'm super impressed when people even have 2B in all their stats (one day in the distant future I hope to get my defense there), but 3B in each is ridiculous. You have 4x the stats past 3B than I do, with 3B less total (though certainly each of your billions is more meaningful). 

Do you have any intention of whoring or adopting a new ratio now (or at any point in the future), or will you continue dead even? In what order do you use temps, and what armor have you chosen? Do you have any regrets (like does it ever feel redundant to work on both defensive stats when they're mutually exclusive)? 

Great work, still. Will be a heavy burden on you the day all four are comfortably in a modern SE range (if beating most cans with Voracity is your metric for it). I found that with a 50 E gym I was able to take dex disgustingly far before SEs finally beat goose juice, but with George's I suppose it's a lower bar. 

I was in JFA, we were taught old school, be self sufficient, dont depend on others, stay balanced til you are sure, and the most important.... 

'Until you have maxed harpoon exp you will never be a full member'

Im old, im old skool, Grey Pride...  gerrof my lawn

I wasnt a great person in JFA, but i learnt from the Best

this is my tinfoil had theory the rise of balanced stats. Despite legendary armors, balanced stats will be superior and with def or dex being boosted by legendary armor even more so. Jfa has taught you well. 
im also old school like you. But unfortunately I wasn’t in in any JFK factions so I learned everything myself. 
well done

If we can count NS as being downstream of that JFA mindset, I feel like I was brought up in the same culture. It's a nice way to be. I have to admit I haven't maxed my harpoon, though, but maybe at some point I'll do it if I'm feeling masochistic enough. I have 29 weapons done so far and a bunch more with quite a bit of progress in them. I felt sure about my ratio choice early on, though, and so far I have no regrets. I think anything can work out if you lean into it hard enough. I feel like the defensive stats are the correct choices to whore, because every time I encounter a strength whore I stomp them, and speed whores would be stomped by all the def whores; you can only ever get to the second needle if the first one was a good enough one to let you survive a while, and even if you never make it to a second one, it's nice to have made the most of the first one. I like that tyro takes me up to many dozens of billions of dex, it's at least moderately inconvenient for most people. 

Can't fault your approach though, the important thing is to do what makes you happy and keeps you playing, because outlasting people is the most surefire way to get ahead.
