For example in game #445877 i eliminated hotspur and he was the last one left, but i had not eliminated any of the dead beats. How come i dont get their points. Take a look at that game and see. Those deadbeats deserve to lose their points, especially in a sequential game.

the current rule punishes active players and rewards deadbeats. a deadbeat that sits around but is not eliminated does not lose points, a player that fights to the end but is eliminated loses points.
imho, it is a major flaw in a great game.

That's not at all what I asked. I know you have to take the person out to get that person's points. My question was "do I have to ALSO win the game to get the points from the people I eliminated?"

NO
even if you lose, you still get the points you gained from each kill, you just lose a few to whoever killed you.

Better than it was before, though. It gives you the chance to actually eliminate them instead of their armies going to neutral like it was before.

thank you, that was my suggestion to keep their points in the game by keeping them the same color but with no armies to add.
i figured with the upgrade that either:
-play would continue until the board is one color
or
-the last active player would get the DB's points
The game should be that the only player who joins a terminator game and does lose points is the winner of the game, if you join a game and do not win you should lose points. Why should you lose a game, but by deadbeatting you lose no points? Absurd.
I suggest that if deadbeats who are eliminated in active games lost 1.5x or 2x points to the winner, and losers by default lost the usual amount, that there would be way less deadbeats in terminator games.
