Terminator Medal

I think that the conditions for winning the Terminator medal should be changed so that if you eliminate people but don't win overall, that should count towards the medal. And the same for the Crossmap medal.

I agree because otherwise it is practically just standard

This is why I play Terminator games always as if they are standard games. You stand more chance of winning whilst you watch the point-hungry fools have at it! :)

If someone else elims two people but you win- do you get those two kills or only kills for those you've elimmed?

You get the kills only if you win the entire game. For example, you could be playing an 8-way terminator game.

Player A eliminates all the other players, but then player B eliminates player A right at the end.
Player B "wins the game".
Player B gets all 7 unique terminator defeats, wheras Player A (the person who actually did the eliminating) gets 0 unique defeats.

I think this is what he is hinting at to get changed, so that player A would get the defeats he deserves.

It'd be difficult to code and lots of people would lose the medals they already have which will lead to a lot of complaints.

My coding language extends to pascal, and logo.. (yeah, not even C+)

If player A eliminates player B
then
point formula
If game type = terminator
then
If player B has not been eliminated by player A (not sure how they do this in the code)
then
x+1 store in x
end
end
end

x = amount of defeats a player has gotten in terminator medal

I could even write a calculator program with that feature added on. Perhaps I should. Would be kind off cool/odd to play risk on my TI84... would have to be only drop down lists/text map, though.
