Glossary / Definitions
Tiers- Tiers are the rankings which go through 1 through 10. 1 through 7 are low tiers, and 8-10 are considered high stakes tiers.
Anonymous- In Split Or Steal if you steal without having this status people will see if you recently stole in your previous game. Once you reach high stakes your status is Anonymous, and no one knows if you are a thief or not.
Recently Stolen- Tiers 1 through 7 people will see if your bad Karma, and your recently stolen status. As a result people will steal from you if you don’t split through these tiers. However it’s not that easy.
Karma- You gain Karma for splitting, and you lose Karma for stealing. The more Karma you gain you gain a title that people can see in Tiers 1 through 7, same with negative Karma. This is where you will have to learn how to create stories that justify your bad karma.

HQ- HQ is short for Headquarters, this is the place where you build buildings which give you percent bonuses.

Introduction
If you don’t have a lot of time to read all of this, at the bottom of each category there is a “In short” section that you can read very quickly.
It’s not rocket science. It’s a game.
Starting off. There are people, who think that people who steal in this game genuine bad people. This is the internet. Which allows us to do things outside our line of morality in real life. Regardless of what they think. They have no right to look down on someone for stealing in a video game.
If you are reading this guide you are either trying to become a thief or trying to learn how to avoid a thieves ways. Either way, welcome to the Ultimate Thieves Guide. If you haven’t read the Glossary of definitions and you aren’t familiar with such terms, I advise you to do so.
If you are new to Split Or Steal (SoS), you wouldn’t know the difference between these two buttons, split or steal. Starting off, you need to understand that you have a reputation in the community, There’s a lot of other things to take into consideration.
If you constantly steal during tiers 1 through 10, people will identify you as a scummy thief, and will steal back every singe time they encounter you. So yes. You will have to spit.
The Golden Rule
Split until Tier 6, then steal through Tier 7 through 10. Why, do you ask? Because Tier 7 is the last round before you are anonymous. No one see’s your bad karma or any recently stolen status while in highstakes games.
In short, split Tiers 1-6, steal Tiers 7-10.
Now that that’s out of the way, lets move on.
