Game 10508931
This game is an assassin game which ended by round limit. As you can see the elimination summary is different as no players were eliminated. NodLoyalist is at the top, but this is only because he is Player 1. Nobody was eliminated and all of the losers lost simultaneously.

All of the other players in that game say they lost and they are listed in order of join as spiesr says. So there is no way to define the target of blue by the log alone.

but just to consider what would you do if the winners target (strongest player) happened to be the second strongest player.

For your tournament would you really want to eliminate the second strongest player?

His question is posed with players of equal region count and equal troop count at the end of the game. So all of the players are equally "strong"

Well, that's true. Maybe the round limit for assassin is skewed in the same sense as team games were. Maybe in assassin games, who should win is not the one with most troops, but the assassin of the player with less troops... :roll:

so you want players to win who have the stupidest target?

Just imagine:
Red has 40 troops and his target is green
Green has 39 troops and his target is blue
Blue has 1 troop, and just going to die

Red wins, when the game is totally of green. Like the current approach, you are encouraging just to stall in the last rounds. But in an assassin that would let to make a lot of movement. I see that with more sense for an assassin.

that is a great idea, the winner should be the player closest to winning. =D>
