from the site’s instruction pages: [QUOTE=ConquerClub] In an assassin game each player is assigned a secret target, designated in-game with crosshairs (blinking in red) next to the username. You win the game if your target is killed - whether it be by you or another player! When a player is auto-kicked in an assassin game, the game continues and whomever had the deadbeat now has to kill the deadbeat’s target. [/QUOTE] But! Don’t rush to wipe people out to gain point or try to win the game like normal - you might wipe out someone else’s target and give them the game ---

I joined the New York assassin game. I just got a fantastic new job, so I’m probably going to be ponying up the money to become a full member of CC, so I’ll be able to join all the other games as well! ---

there are guidlines for it - go to the forums (the link is along the top of the CC page when you first sign on) - and search “making a map” ---

I have to say I’ve gotten a little frustrated with Conquer Club recently. I think I joined about 5 games over the course of 2 days, and I was eliminated fairly quickly in all of them because I had absolutely no luck with dice in any of them. And yet I keep playing. Sigh, I’m an addict. ☹ ---

I suppose I’ve just had bad luck with dice as well as bad luck with the people I’ve played with. In a couple recent non-Doper games I’ve played with idiots who, given the option of a) crippling me, somebody who is doing moderately well but in no shape to win at the moment, or b) crippling somebody else who has the best position in the game at the moment and will win unless something is done, and both outcomes will give them approximately the same position, they choose to attack me. Then the person from B goes on to win the game. :smack: [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/come-play-risk-with-us/447704.md?page=6) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/come-play-risk-with-us/447704.md?page=8)
