You might get 30 points but since you stupid and don't know how to play you gonna lose them on your next games ( 90-100% sure of that )
I’ve given you the benefit of the doubt and I’ve tried to look at where you are coming from but I just don’t get it. The goal of a terminator game is to terminate the opponents. It is not the standard goal of the last man on the board wins. It is a game where you try to terminate as many opponents as possible.
Given this, what is one to do when the ranks of the players are not in any shape or form equal? Let us assume the fallacy that high ranking players are good players (otherwise they would lose and thus lose their ranking). Now let us consider if it is logical to suicide against a high ranking player. Doing so (successfully I might add, doing so unsuccessfully is always STUPID) results in two advantages; you terminated the better person (and not someone else because that doesn’t help you in a terminator game) and the better person is in no position to terminate you.
I would suggest that logic would suggest that suicide when ranks are massively unequal and you have a very good chance of success is always a good option in a terminator game. I’m sorry but if you are going to play the role of the general on the white horse expect the private sharpshooter to shoot you. That’s the nature of the terminator game.
