Clout Tokens

A unit used to express quantities of clout. Clout tokens can solely be lost/acquired through mass recognition of the public. (This mass recognition of the public is usually ignited by the recognition of an objective superior.) Clout tokens are either stolen or passed down. When one loses clout tokens, those tokens are dispersed and acquired in proportion to the level of responsibility one had in the loser's demise. If you are the beneficiary of this scenario, then you acquired your clout tokens by means of stealing. To acquire clout tokens that have been passed down, an objective superior, or giver, of clout tokens must show their recognition or interest. Although in a give/take relationship there will always be someone who gains and someone who loses, this is not the case with the distribution of clout tokens. In this scenario, the giver's clout tokens are not affected negatively and the receiver is the sole beneficiary. However, it is understood that the giver of clout tokens is responsible for any direct success that follows after their contribution. If this recognition is not given, beef ensues. On a final note, clout tokens can be spent on getting a pass on controversial situations. For example, if someone has a high quantity of clout tokens, they can spend them on a metaphorical "Get out of Jail Free Card".
