There's a few things as well -- we could assign one team to win, and let them collect the majority of the points.
But that's asking a lot of people: to put their trust in people they may not know well; trusting the team to go through with the revival process, and trusting others not to kill the "winning" team before their time.
The higher ups can think a lot of things, but unless they plan on stickig their oar in more than they have already, I don't really care what they have to say.
I asked about... the possibility of moving someone from one team to another that week. They made it sound like it wasn't possible, but even if it was, doing so would make it so they lost their chance to save their former teammates.
Transferring points is another idea, though. We can transfer money... but, we can also see how much money we have. We haven't been able to see our points.
But that might be a way... pooling all the points we've earned through the less violent methods.
My fear is that this is intended to push us toward violence purely so the "game" can proceed as intended Kiichi essentially told me that that's what the calls are for
[So how can they take that risk? But Nahida pointed out waiting too long, too... ugh.]
It's possible that the "game" has to function as intended for the things we want to happen to be able to happen. If it's all interconnected... but it's such a big risk to gamble on with other people's lives.
Hopefully Netzach, Shen and Livio’s teams come to the same conclusion. But given what’s happened, I don’t know if at least two of them might not seize on the idea of bringing back what they lost.
I think it's more a matter of everyone would have to mutually agree to sacrifice themselves for the winning team if it turns out this is all fake, or if we didn't gather enough points in the end
But I think Nahida's right. We don't want to rush into anything, but we're running out of time. We need to confirm the truth of this information to the best of our ability, and we need to see if we can glean any specifics whatsoever about what we're working with. The points we'd need for revival, how much erasures are worth, any possible extra tasks we can do, if it's possible to transfer points--anything we can possibly learn.
After that, it may simply be a leap of trust.
[He really doesn't think they'd get everyone on board with electing a winning team ahead of time, but... he knows that some people, at least, would agree to try, if it meant dying for the hope of a greater good.]

I guess my worry about be the "higher-ups" thinking that we're rigging the game. I doubt they'd like that.

like
maybe theres a way we could combine a team into a superteam or something
i guess if there was a way to figure out who had the most points maybe we could do something. i think id trust at least somebody on all the teams?
no subject
If we could've made a super team, surely we'd have done with with Rang? Or maybe it was too late once that moment came for him.
But... I need to get some things from the Reapers, so I might ask about point transferral.

...for the most part, I trust them. But... I have not been able to shake my doubts about Simon, even though I do believe his team means well.
