You're right Bobdave. When we have 13 characters all at the maximum health, it's a hugely unfair disadvantage to whoever got their first.

Let's say Coupe was the first person to hit 40 health (because everybody immediately heals him) and then a month or two later, Jake the Maniac hits the limit as well (mostly because we're forced to heal somebody, and we can't heal our first 12 choices).

So now our most favored person (Coupe in this example) has the same HP as our 13th most favored person (Jake in this example).

So if there's a sudden change in favor, then all that good will that Coupe got in the beginning of the game means nothing, and is rendered equal to the reluctant heals that somebody like Jake got (This is just random examples, not meant to offend.)
