killing a deadbeat

by **VampireM** on Thu Oct 01, 2009 8:54 am

i was playing in game Game 5581390, where teal missed 3 of their turns and was therefore kicked out of the game, but i noticed that unlike other times, this players armies didnt turn to neutral, they remained teal.. but teal was crossed out.. the game went on like normal until yellow took his turn and dominated the board.. i noticed during his run, he killed teal and didnt get to cash but i am assuming took teals cards... does everyone get a round to try and kill the deadbeat before his/hers troops turn into neutral?

i scanned through the instructions and didnt see anything about this.. and i dont run into deadbeats a whole lot, and to deadbeat after having 3 or 4 cards is even more unusually..

thank you for anyone that can explain this aspect of the game to me..

it was termanater so he stayed their so you could get his points

i think he stays till either he gets killed or someone finishes the game

oh okay, good point..

i presume when he made the kill he still got the cards?

also what would of happen if yellow left teal to last and couldnt kill the deadbeat player that round? do they have to wait another 24 hours before getting a turn? or can they keep taking turns in a row until the deadbeat is dead?

No, they just get the points.

that's what i ment by or when the game ends if it's just one person and the deadbeat the person gets the points right then

yep he got the cards.
and the game ends when only one player is alive.
so if you've killed everybody but the people who deadbeated, the game still ends, and you get points from the deadbeaters, like you get points from all losers in a standard game.
