I was never trying to hoard anything. Just be a man of my word. Looking back I would say It is a mistake not to pass a cutting around. Responsibly pass it around that is. In my area, the real cut got a bad rap because of all the fakes. Maybe if I would have dropped it on the community then the fakes would have been exposed before it was too late.
Now, It doesn't matter. The community has gotten smaller and I think reputations are more intwined with faces and names. So if one wants to show up to the party and propagate bullshit or a fake, then one does so at the risk of their reputation.
I gave it out to the few people I did because I wanted to make sure if something happened in my world the Strain would not simply disappear.
Or if i partnered up with someone, then naturally they received the cut. I guess I'm divided on the issue..
