A lot of players are so eager to go after their target, that they overextend themselves and don't defend well against being assassinated themselves. Sometimes I see players that are really weak, and instead of trying to recover and stay alive, they might still relentlessly pursue a target that they have no chance in assassinating. I build defenses and if my "assassin" gets too strong, I will attack my assassin instead of my target.
I agree with you that its crazy how some of the people are attacking too much, overextending and then basically taking themselves and you out of the game. I see this especially of Conquer 500 and Monsters. But killing the wrong target is not the answer. Once is a mistake, maybe twice. But making this a practice is not allowed.
2 things here.
1. I have a very low number of "deaths", being assassinated. In certain games I intentionally attacked my assassin. I think there is nothing wrong with that. You can't win the game, and assassinate your target, if you are too weak yourself. So if my own assassin relentlessly attacks me, I strike back, hoping they back off and I can rebuild and still win.
2. I have a high number of accidents. These were not accidents, none of them; there were indeed games where I was at risk of getting assassinated and by eliminating a player who is not my target, I rescued the 1 point awarded for "surviving". Without the 1 point for surviving I never would have done this. I get it that this doesn't make it right and it can been seen as throwing the game. I wonder if I am the only player that did this.

Since this is likely in breach of the general rules of CC, I will withdraw from the remainder of the tournament with apologies to the organizer.

Thanks for the honesty. It was never my intention to encourage accidents as I call them and I think the majority of them were indeed by accident. I will in future tournaments put in an extra rule or something that will penalise taking out the wrong target but as this and my other tournament Dealers choice are nearly over I don't think I will change the rules at this time.

I can accept your resignation but if you are serious and your not planning to intentionally take out the wrong target you are welcome to remain in the tournament.

Hello hello hello! After a little drama about people taking out the wrong target I hope that is all behind us and I can just deal with it in my rules in the next tournament I run next year. If you didn't catch it please do not intentionally attack your assassin to the point that you kill them for someone else just to win the 1 point for surviving :D

Onto a more pleasant topic I will be sending out 4 new maps tomorrow I have randomised them already but don't fancy sending them out tonight :D New World is continuing to be shy so we won't be playing on that map until the next batch and the last one :D We will be finishing off Labyrinth, Feudal Epic, Krazy Kingdoms and AOR1.

Time for the exciting round up of the top of the leaderboard, I was sitting at the top but unfortunately currently it is back to Luxbock on 164 points and 41 kills, behind them is RKCVED on 163 and 40 kills, with myself Plurple in 3rd on 162 points and 38 kills. We are the only 3 players who have managed to cross the 160 point threshold so it is much more exciting over here that it is in Dealers choice with just a 3 point spread than the 57 point lead Lux has :D

onto the GA medal there are just 14 of us left in the running that are able to match my current 22 predicted kills if my counting is accurate I have also added 4 columns in the middle that will allow me to see when/if I win the GA medal and to see who my competition is :D Mainly I wanted the chance to see more of my columns in Green Especially as I can no longer be super excited by my predicted maps as I just have 1 unlikely game left on Conquer 500 so I will creep on everyone else's games :P

Well with Juke going awol and being kicked from a lot of games they are kicked from the tournament and so no longer a part of the best survivor line up which happens to still be Wile E Coyote on just 6 deaths followed closely by our main trouble maker Aad0906 on 7 deaths oof just looked at my own deaths and only just have half as many deaths as kills :oops: need to stop wearing such a strong fragrance so my assassin can stop following my trail :D

Well good luck in the games and look out for the 16 games I am going to send to you all tomorrow :D I also hope you all had a good Christmas if you celebrate. That is the reason that I took a small break in sending out new games :D No one quite ran out of games having at least 1 game left active :D
