Default Re: Would you play to the death?

Well, honestly I'd say if you want more drama, then you should set up a game where noone tries to win (as in become strong enough to fight everyone) but to create the most drama. Trying to win (or not wanting to loose) is what generates these situations.

If you are trying to win would you rather...

attack someone who ...
a) is likely to quit
b) fights back

attack someone who ...
a) can't respond to your attack for whatever reason and might as well hand over his territory
b) can fight back

...
a) quit a game that you are going to loose and join another
b) fight on

...

Good point--everybody would have to be trying to win for this to possibly work out well. Which is what I am proposing!

Well now you're being tricky! Of course I want people to try to win within the present game and not just within any old game with losses or surrenders in other games not counted.

I generally play until the end because I know that while I may not win, I can certainly improve the chances of my killer LOSING.
