soooooo
we should probably always have someone ready to go first on each level, so like we always know who would lose if anyone from our tribe. so we'd do like
bonobo - 7 lindsay - 8 maggie - 8 dave - 8 ranger - 8
for each level. Honestly if we just allow ourselves to be stepping stones for the first few levels, and get the most people to the last levels, wouldn't that be the best use of our time? Like guarantee someone is able to get the most amount of points at least round 6, 7, and 8? etc

I like that general idea.

I’m trying to think of what specific arrangement would be best but I’m not sure yet

I'm a little confused about the points. If I load up on level 1 and then get a single point of level 2, I can still beat somebody who posted a moderate amount on level 1 and also a moderate amount on level 2?
What happens if I get to level 5 and just stay there the whole time and rack up a ton of points and then at the very end do a single post for levels 6, 7, and 8? Or if I never officially reach level 6 at all?
"the person with the least points on that level will be eliminated." is very ambiguous and I am not here for it.

I don't see why not sounds like it may allow some advantage

So could a combination of Dave's strategy and Bonobos work for us?

Are the eliminations based on ONLY that level's score or on the cumulative score? If the latter, then why not just stay on the 1:1 point/post ratios for as long as possible? If the former, then what's the point of even having a point/post ratio?

Okay, so the mods have confirmed that the cumulative score doesn't matter. That also means that the whole "two/three/four posts to get a point is basically irrelevant as long as your post on that level is a multiple of that number.
This challenge is a remix of the bankers and the spam posting. Boosting one of us to level 6 isn't a bad strategy. the question becomes, though, will the other tribe do it too?
Maybe instead of absolutely sacrificing ourselves we do one more than that? So instead of the first person sacrificing themselves with 0 on level 1, they do 1 on each level, then the next person does 2 on each level etc.

I like that idea Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy’s.
In addition to the strategy suggested by Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy’s, it could be worth considering who our best spam posters are. I should probably be a sacrifice tbh

Each person only needs to do one more than the sacrifice on each level, so if the saacrifice is doing 1 on level 2, everyone else only needs to do only do 2.
We can mathematically work it out to see how much is possible on this challenge. with 10 seconds per post, and 45 minutes, we have 270 posts to work with. We probably won't use all of that so we can hope to get to the last few rounds with two or three people?

I can post however much we need to get the 2 or 3 people we need to the end
