Added kill bonuses. What do you think? Good bad? They are reported when you get your score at the end. The caveat is that they're currently not adding the bonus to your score. Will turn that on tomorrow.

+25 for 2nd
+50 for 1 kill
Rank: 2122nd Score: +75 to 25◆.
Ivailo Milchev finishes 2nd in round 32
Ivailo Milchev stands up

Ryan's turn
+125 for 1st
+100 for 2 kills
Rank: 623rd Score: +225 to 693◆.
Ryan finishes 1st in round 33

one more question:

are the 'kill bonuses' subtracted from the players' account who got killed
(maybe be worthwhile considering)

or is it a new, extra funding - adding up to the other pots lie table surplus and surplus tourney points ?

nice change.
Would it be possible to make flags kick in between turns to prevent people from flagging out to deny legit kills?

Annotation:

I just noticed that the point system also changed..

this gives the whole game a much stronger new spin than just kill bonuses would have alone.

Such it is pretty much of a revolutionary change alltogether.

With 1st place now earning roughly 5 times as many points as 2nd eg on a 500 table (+625 <> 125 ) for 1st compared to second place

+ the points for the kill

both new implementations together are favouring agressive playstyles to go for 1st place only very much (as no other position is paying well anymore), accumulated this might be effecting a strong shift towards dynamic moves instead of sitting and stacking which might help to shorten and speeding up games.

Yet implementing 1 measure at first might have been sufficient.

The two changes accumulated constitute almost a redesign of the entire point system rather than an addition since the whole strategy of playing must be adjusted which I suspect has been the intention.

I think you should get -25 for flagging out, and no penalty for being killed by a player. Die like a man I say

I had a good day so far with the new system. People seem to like it. But there is a doubt about it functioning as intended, because people will flag out before they can be killed, We'll see i guess. But a thumbs up from me in any case.

could someone note the new scores of placements in each kind of table?

With 1 kill and 1st on 100s, got only 250 added to my overall points. Bugged.

Tough Jesse is right that kill bonused should be scaled.
