Blood summon is fine as is, but I understand the argument against it, but in
many ways that gives players without "uber" items/abilities to get a first
strike on a stronger target, element of surprise. But I'm not too hysterical
on the issue.

As a multiple-time blood bath winner, I would have to say that "blood score"
should remain as it is. It's a competition to kill players in a directly
competitive manner. With the current blood score you can several strategies.
You can make your points fast and hard and hold on to your lead and kill
competitors as they rise. Or you can also lay in wait until the right moment
and strike at other players quickly and decisively and steal the leads. I
think part of the "lore" of blood bath dictates that it's a competition
between individuals, not just how many people you can kill. Knowing who's
winning/losing allows you to pick your rival and beat it out, like any true
tournament! What tournament has you play vs. nameless teams and not know who
you need to take down to be the victor? I say this with my strongest
recommendation that the system remain as it is.
