Challenge 8: A Shot in the Dark

[Swan]

You have braved many challenges in this contest, but nothing quite like this.

One aspect of war is randomness. A random shot. A random encounter. A random ending. So in this challenge, very little is up to the soldiers. It is a simple thing of fate.

There are 15 hanging ropes. Each person has a set amount of ropes assigned to them. (Inversely proportioned to the number of people remaining on the team) Each team gets 5 shared among their members.

One at a time each remaining member will step up and pick a rope. We shall reveal whose rope was cut. When all of your ropes are gone, you will be eliminated. The last person/team standing wins this round.
