Assassin Target

[roizeau]

I have a question about Assassin Games.

I am in a 4 player assassin game, and I would like to know if it is possible for my target to have me for a target as well?
Or is it always a different player?

Always a different player.

Thanks.

But if your target deadbeats, and his target would have been the guy who has you as target, then you get mutually targeted with that guy?

a similar question, do you have to kill eachother in a ´circle`? as in, when you´re with 6 players, P1 has to kill P2 who has to kill P3>P4>P5>P6>P1, or can you also have, say, P1>P2>P3>P1 and P4>P5>P6>P4.
knowing this would help with finding out who has to target who in a game of assasin. thanks in advance!

Its "random."

By "random" I mean CC random.

The only stipulation is that you never start out as the target of your target.

No, nothing like that. Of course, in a 3-player game you can tell who everybody's target is (knowing that you cannot be the target of your target). You can normally guess quite accurately which player is targetting who by the positioning of their stacks and the player they attack most. For this reason you might not want to attack your target too early on.

You can visualize this by drawing 3-8 dots according to the number of players. Now, connect the dots by circles so that each circle must consist at least of 3 players.

So, in games with >5 players, there can be 1-2 killing circles, and in games with 5 players and less it's always 1 circle.

Here's an example:



The numbers of course can be in whatever order.

thanks! thats what i meant!

and ManBungalow, thanks, but i already do that. however this question was to clarify. for example, if i have target A, and my target obviously has target B, i now know that target B could also have me. if the game was always like nattys last picture, this wouldn´t be a possibility, thus giving me more information about the game.

but alas, its unfortunately too random to let that help any!
