The "no" button isn't functional for me. So I only use it in dire circumstances like gauntlet nodes as a result. what am I missing?

Then again, the game display doesn't look like it's coded to deal massive damage, it looks like it's just coded to create a victory condition. So it's not a given that they're first checking to see if one of the opponents is floating above the battlefield.

Thing is, whales is kind of an inside joke. What do they call players that spend large amounts of money on the game? Whales. A common complaint about this practice is it is like paying to win. Therefore, whales is literally Deadpool breaking the 4th wall and asking if you want to pay to win the match. I'm sure someone out there could probably explain it more elegantly but there ya go.
