    Antemortem has issued a relatively straightforward Challenge: to decide a point distribution and a new leader for our team.

    Most of you would think that this isn't really a challenge at all. But this single event could potentially eliminate all but one member on this team.

    From our Challenge 4 victories, we were awarded 8 points. Remember that with 5 points an Invincibility Token may be purchased, and with 3 points an Elimination Token. Our plan is to coordinate a reasonable point distribution, and then ask our team representative to submit it to Antemortem. The deadline for this challenge is July 13, 16:00. That's less than twenty-four hours from now, so we must do this quickly.

    It seems to be in the common interest that Ultraviolence be the representative; however, please nominate others if you so desire.

    Only the fourteen members listed below have not been eliminated from the Challenge.

    Antebellum
    Zach
    MegaBiscuit123 - 1pt
    Ultraviolence - 1pt
    Nathan
    Synchronous
    Kyora
    Sheep
    Flushed - 1pt
    acattfrommars
    Arc
    Troye - 1pt
    Team Fail

    A logical approach to distributing the points would be to give them to the victors. However, this would mean that both Ultraviolence and Troye would have the necessary points to purchase Elimination Tokens, with Antebellum and Arc being only one point in lack.

    Should it be in the common interest to have no possibility of Elimination by a team member's Elimination Token within the next round, points may be distributed to those who do not have points. This would result in twelve team members with 1 point, and two with none.

    Another option would be to provide the Team Representative with all or most of the points; however, this would make the Team Representative a likely target, and the risk of losing the Representative and all of the points earned is too large. I may be mistaken on this fact.

    The Team Representative could also be provided with one's remainder of 5 points, so that one may purchase an Invincibility Token, as the Team Representative should be protected. However, there is no guarantee that anyone who is provided with 5 points will not spend three of them on an Elimination Token instead.

    As a team, we must carefully consider these options. Please provide your input on the Team Representative and Point Distribution in this thread.
     
    I'm okay doing it if others are.

    As far as points go, the fair way to distribute them is the battle winners. However, the elimination tokens definitely are concerning.
     
    With ultraviolence and jake with 3 points, they can each poison someone, so thats good. Anyways jake, you might as well send them in soon since I dont think there are any objections to you as our new rep.
     
    I think the big players on the opposing team are more of a threat than traitors who may already be eliminated. Sending the PM in late sounds good, it hurt us when elheroscuro did the same thing, but we dont have the numbers to risk anything now
     
    @Ultra: I'll leave that up to you. It's sucks we keep losing our rep but you don't have to sacrifice an elimination token for that if you don't want to.

    I think one elimination token and a safe rep would be for the better. Oh, and I request that I receive no points. It's better used elsewhere.
     
    Okay, so we have eight points to distribute. Apparently we'll do the one Elimination and the one Invincibility. I'll use my two plus Arc's two to give myself, giving me the total of 5 for the Invincibility token. I'll leave Ultraviolence's two and Antebellum's two to themeselves. Sound good everyone?



    Aaaaaand done. If someone somehow gets me after 4:00:59, I'll be impressed.
