I treat it the same way points are transferred. If you get a player's points, you get the kill. Next time it will be something more balanced than that.

I've been doing terribly at this. Worse than I've ever done on Terminator. I still only have 2 kills after 18 games (although many of them aren't finished.)

Anyway, still 2 games out there that are joinable:
Game 13781287
Game 13780121
Game 13774940

1 Point per game played


As per the scoring system ...

Did I Score [ 5 ] Points For The WiN
1 Point for being the last surviving player
1 Point per game played
3 Points For Killing Pink

or

Did I Score [ 11 ] Points For The WiN
1 Point for being the last surviving player

3 Points For Killing Red
3 Points For Killing Green

Official Monthly Challenge for January
Brought to you by [player]DoomYoshi[/player] and the Community Team


Some of you might remember a series of Unofficial Challenges that I (DoomYoshi) organized in early 2013.
You may also have seen that we have a brand new Challenge Medal (click that link and scroll all the way to the bottom).
Those two facts are, believe it or not, related - I have been asked to run Official Monthly Challenges patterned on those unofficial challenges, and anyone who meets an Official Challenge will receive a Challenge Medal!

NO SIGN-UPS REQUIRED - Everyone is eligible!
All you need to do is play in at least one game started between January 1 and January 31 with the following settings:



Settings
Map: King of the Mountains
Players per game: 3-10 [3 or more; 10 or less]
Game Type: ANY TYPE
Initial Troops: Automatic OR Manual
Play Order: Sequential or Freestyle
Spoils: Escalating
Reinforcements: any reinforcement type
Special Gameplay: MUST HAVE TRENCH; Fog of War is
optional

Round Length: Casual or speed

Medal Criteria
To win a Challenge Medal, players must score 500 points in games with
the above criteria.

Terminator Games will be scored as follows:
30 Points for a kill
10 Point for being the last surviving player
10 Points per game played
Standard games are scored the same way, except all kills go to the
winning player

Assassin Games are:
10 for joining
25 points for each player defeated
7 extra points for winning
-50 points for eliminating the wrong player

4p dubs is 60 for winners; 10 for each player on the losing team
6p dubs is 90 for winners; 10 for each player on the losing team
8p dubs is 120 for winners; 10 for each player on the losing team
10p dubs is 150 for winners; 10 for each player on the losing team
A quads victory scores 55 for each winning player, 10 for each player on the losing team
6-player trips is 53 for each winner, 10 for each player on the losing team
9-player trips is 83 for winner, 10 for each player on the losing team

Notes


No fancy story this time.

------------------------------------------------

The settings that must be present are King of the Mountains, Trench, Escalating, 3-10 Players
Please double check and make sure you have all these settings set. The other settings are open. Round Limits are not mandatory, but are recommended to make sure all games finish on time.

Games can finish up to one week after the end of the month.

You don't want to create a new thread for each challenge for every month? Down the road month 5 or so the thread will be extremely long it could get confusing for people to figure out what is going on.

I don't know that there's really much to figure out - the challenge will always be in the first post, and it's not like we're going to be looking through the thread for people's games.
