What happens if you eliminate someone else's target?

in an assassin game? But that person has deadbeated and was already kicked out. Can someone who has been kicked out win the game if I kill their target?

Could I theoretically kill off everyone in a specific order assuming at least one deadbeat and win the game?

Why don't we try it and find out. We'll need a third person though

when someone deadbeats the person who had them as a target then gets a new target.

well it kind of is, the person that had the target of deadbeat recieves a new target, this must be the deadbeats target. therefore no matter when u eliminate someone who isnt your target you will lose.

in assassin game when u eliminate some1 elses target the game finishes and the owner of that target wins the game

example: u have alex as ur target...i eliminate alex....u win the game

i believe if u read the instructions more closely next time u wouldnt look so dumb asking this question

Cheers

no no.what he was asking was this, say chess u r my target, i then deadbeat, if he takes u out do i (the deadbeat) get points and win? i dont think so, as the person who was originally allocated to eliminate me would then be given a new target, chess, so that player would win.

Ok
1. You can't eliminate the deadbeat coz his countries become neutral.
2. The deadbeats target becomes the target of whoever was after the deadbeat so if you eliminate the deadbeats target you hand the game to that person as clearly stated in the instructions section!

you wish :P ur question i just think means u will have wasted armies and will gain nothing for it as the deadbeat is no-ones target.

Anyway, I still say we should try it and find out.

Wouldn't it make the games more interesting if you could kill other people's targets without ending the game? The way it is right now, the best strategy is to go after your target from round 1, and it's simply a mindless race between the players to see who can get their target first.

If you were allowed to kill someone that isn't your target, people would think twice before dwindling their target down to almost nothing because then someone else can sweep in and kill the target. It would force people to be a bit more secretive and carefully plan when they want to kill their target. And the player who's target was killed, he gets the target of his now eliminated target.
