Wow, didn't notice this had been suggested before... sorry about that.

Wow nice idea,the only thing im not sure is about the name....maybe it would be better calling it sniper,because if you want to kill everyone you should follow an order,more or less a sniper who has multi-target has to follow an order to make it as fast as posible...or another name


one question.what happens if you eliminate the wrong target?? theyll go to the player who had to kill him??? That part i dont like it much...

If the points didnt go to the pleyer who had to kill him, then the game would be exactly like terminator...

How about this. You kill the wrong target, you lose points, they gain it, and whoever you "eliminated" takes all your regions, and now YOU'RE eliminated. Making a wrong move will bring consequences to you ;)

No thanks... that could be too easily abused by multies, secret diplo guys and whatnot.

And yes, if you kill someone else's target the one who had him as target gets the points. Just like in Assassin. However your target wouldn't change by it (since your target wasn't killed), and in an escalating game it could be worth it to kill someone else's target if it's the only way to get enough cards to kill your own target... Sacrifice the points of one target to sweep the board clean of the others.

Think of all the strategies...

IMO it would be way better if when you killed someone who wasn't your target, it acted as if the person who had them killed them...so they get the points and spoils. This would allow for people to have more than 5 spoils which i don't know if its possible at this time with the game engine, but think of how that would change the strategy. Also i would like there to be some discouraging factor from people killing someone who is not their target so the fact that you have no benefit of killing a person who is not your target would be a good thing IMO. There may be a time when you need to kill someone to get to killing your target but that is the only time i would like to see killing someone who you don't have be beneficial to you, as that would make it just like 8 player standard/terminator escalating where you would just hope to get lucky by being able to kill the targets in order but other than that if you just win the game you still get positive points so go for that. Also it would reduce the skill required to play the game because you can win points based on someone else killing your target for cards.

But think about it, both Assassin and Term games are perfect targets for Multi's and Secret Diplo's.

I'd love to play this game. However with the speed of the admin we'll probably see this by the end of 2012.

New type of game

Concise description:
  • Assassin and terminator mixed into one game.
Specifics:
  • The game would start like any assassin game however when you eliminate your target the game doesnt end you just get the points and are assigned another target.If you eliminate a player that isnt your target the person who target that players was gets the points.This differs from normal terminator games as you cant eliminate anyone you have to go for your target.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • Allows new type of game for people to enjoy :D

Isn't the vote enough to gauge community interest?

The vote was for the name of the Gametype. Not actual support. Some people see it, and just put in a random vote. I've done it before

so would I. Two things (1 has nothing to do w/ this thread):

1: can someone, mod or OP remake the poll so it's actually voting on whether people like this idea or not (since TFO says we need it that way)

2: is there any difference at all between the suggestions mods color and the discussions mods color, because TFO's and kooler's names look exactly the same color to me

Added poll. We only have 3 Suggs, me Joshy, and edwin.
Suggestions, Discussions, and Intl fall under Moderation, which are sub-depts of Global Moderation, so that is why those 3 groups have the same color (and greenish to boot).
