The very core idea is not to trust anyone.
The trust is shared among a mob. No one knows anything about you so no one can "betray" you.
But as soon as you fail everyone know anything about you.
Thats the very core of the system.

And yeah, in the very first step I think only you should give yourself ...

I noticed that there is quiet a lot of people with a blackmail fetish.
But finding a partner for blackmailing can be very difficult for following reason:
You have to trust them 100%, what when they abuse their power?
They could give you tasks you simply cant do for some reasons.
They can ghost you ...
