Ah, in which case you work around one of the biggest flaws in your system by not having anyone left behind

I’m not sure I see the “administering the points” problem with EPGP, given there’s a really nice addon to handle it for you, but that’s a discussion for another time.

You are right on our previous system, we used EPGP without decay. It had obvious flaws and the biggest was administering the points.
