"Why will we carry a dead weight, where we are having difficulty carrying our own weight?"

Because the players were told it would be done that way (people like me).

However - as you said previously: "if they do not uphold their end of the agreement, then we (splinterlands) will terminate the agreement on [Date]".

That is a fair and valid statement - if it were to be something like Vader here...

Then I would be justified in ragey anger lmao. But what you described seems rational and logical 😁
