Fact : some people just won't communicate at all : people don't want to get up straight away, especially if there are multiple tanks and / or they will be black/white. Then it takes a few moments to assess the overall situation, who are mains, how many alive, how many points combined does the team have? Then, when multiple people type !np, it's a case of having to keep asking; it's not unusual for 3 or 4 people to send points to the same person and that person doesn't realise they have so many points.
If all hope is lost, I will send points to any main who is alive regardless whether they typed !np or not.
