Assassinator/Terminassin

[Natewolfman]

I like this, we need more gameplay modes

[sully800]

Another name option: Bounty Hunter

Assassinator sounds okay, but it is too similar to the current Assassin title. It's nice because it's a cross of the two games, but I think Bounty Hunter is a better description; you get paid for killing your target, then you are assigned a new target.

I like hitman...

I would like to suggest new terminology.....
Sniper
or
Bounty Hunter

[AzureX]

[ManBungalow]

Another name option: Bounty Hunter

I like this better then Assassinator

I like it too

And my clan will rule this game
If it gets created...
And if we call it Bounty Hunter
The name fits the game type though

I don't think everybody has re-voted yet...

[The Neon Peon]

I like Bounty Hunter, thought Hitman would be fine too. I just think it fits better for the style of play. But it seems to me that this game type will be very heavily abused by secret alliances. Might need to think of a way to solve that somehow.

Hmmm... Perhaps lowering the amount of points you get when somebody takes out your target? Perhaps halving it?

Great Idea! Maybe we should even do this for regular assassin games as well.

[hecter]

I think that'd be a bad idea for regular assassin games... Like, let's say that somebodies has one army left and the person who has the target is clearly going to win. So somebody just goes and kills that person off so they only lose half the points.

I like this, Definitely Assassinator

No, no, no, I suggest

assanisator

A Mixture of the beloved Terminator and Assassin games


Concise description:

• This will be half terminator/half assassin. Instead of the game ending when a target is killed, instead the person who had that person as his target gets the points as though he terminated him and the game goes on.

Specifics:

• Let's say there's a 4 player Terminator Assasin game. A has B as his target, B has C as his target, C has D as his target, D has A. Let's say A wipes B off the board(but note just like assasin it doesn't have to be A) he gets the point as though this is a terminator game and then C becomes his target.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• This is a fun variation. More flexible than assassin, more direction than terminator
• It would have a very interesting combination

This suggestion is the same as the one made in the Assassinator/Terminassin thread. Please continue discussion in that thread.

You might also want to look at the NEW GAME TYPE "HITMAN" or "SNIPER" thread which suggests a subtly different variation.

This duplicate thread locked.

Interesting assanisator seems a bit OTT

[Desoulman]

I was thinking, I really enjoy Assassin Games (despite never actually winning one), but I am sad at how short they tend to be.
So here is my idea: Combine Assassin and Terminator.
Rules would be simple- Everyone starts out with a target ala Assassin. When your target is killed, you get points like usual. However, you are then given the killed player's target. Game continues until there is only one left.

That also reminds me, Terminator should be called "Highlander"

[Soldier4Christ]

i agree it doesnt have to replacec it but be a separate mode, i myself have played that way and it is quite fun

It's not exactly new...

<Shameless necro-bump combined with:>

I agree that sort of thing is definitely not suited for the game. Points should not be multiplied further than they are currently

[knubbel]

IMPLEMENT THIS! great idea!

[packrat31306]

DO IT! Sounds great!

[max is gr8]

I didn't intend to bump here, anyway, I was looking over the thread again. I was thinking about any potential flaws with the game and the main issue is that of multi-abuse and secret alliances. However I think unlike with Assassin games the affect of a single multi does not change the game entirely.

The other possible percieved negative is that people may not protect you like in assassin games if you are the last. Though the definite positive is your elimination won't end the game.

Concise description:

• A game type which is a mix of Assassin and Terminator: Assassinator!

Specifics:

• The game is played like assassin, everyone gets a target. But the game does not end in the first elimination. When a player gets eliminated, whoever had him as a target gets his points. But then, the game goes on and acts the same way as when someone deadbeats in assassin, the one who had him as target gets the target of his target as a new target.
• This way, if you want all the points from the game, you need to eliminate everyone in a specific order. It brings a bit more challenge, and IMO would be fun.

This will improve the following aspects of the site:

• Another game type, which would be really fun IMO.
• More fun!

[*]Assassin games are fun, but they can be short, since they end in the first kill. This will extend the fun, with longer assassination games.
