In theory, if a person/group has the ability to control enough weight to grab a delegate spot bellow 100, than any sit above that is guaranteed.

However, if they are forced to split the weight, this would decrease the likelihood of such scenario.

Whales will be whales in any system and don't think this actually aids in their ability to become more of one. In fact, if a whale were to garner support how would they do this? More than likely they would be buying seats which distributes more of the wealth evenly. But let's look at the system in general. It's something where voters essentially have the ability to elect delegates. If the people see and fear too much power from one delegate they have the power to take their vote away.

That is why I would suggest voting for candidates that reveal who they are, know their background, etc.

I would certainly like to hear other input on this too.

If the voting weight is not split, that means that person/group can grab ALL the seats above theirs... It wont matter who people vote for at that point. This is assuming they full control over their voting weight.

How would the whale groups garner support to win ALL these seats?

Lets say 5 to 10 whales have enough supply to grab sit #80 that means all they have to do is put the same weight on 21 more delegates of choice and they will also have sit 81-101.
