From my chemist point of view, the argument involving atoms having to take time to push each other one by one is invalid. I think they can be simultaneous (or very very fast) under many circumstances.
Just think of an electrical circuit: when you switch a light on, every electrons start moving at the exact same time.
Atoms are heavier of course but I'm just refuting the easy idea that the speed of light is always a limit. In this case, no atom (neither the rod) exceeds the speed of light as each of them locally only move a little distance.

very very fast =/= simultaneous

moving a little distance in a speed superior than speed of light = exceeding speed of light
Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol
