I like the way everyone is coming up with really good ideas for this game! However... the more ideas are put into place... the less like killer it actually becomes.


Well, most of the rule changes this far has been to remove typical unforeseen defects from being a brand new game. Stuff like åreventing tap break etc.

As for the ranking system I donæt think it really matters. I play the game because it't great fun, and now we have at least two tables that are absolutely honest in ranking players correctly anyways (points per game and pot %)

Also, I fail to see how it's possible to cheat in killer, any more or any less than in the other games. The player order is random, and cheaters get caught and banned here just like in any of the other games

OK think things are pretty much there now:
- add points per game to profile
- after missing it doesn't count towards safety
- after illegal break allow next player to rebreak

How does that work, i don't get it?

I presume it means if I missed a shot, and the following player also missed - i wouldn't gain a safety?

I think a special addition of a 25 player game would be funny.

Imagine how long that would take to complete lmao

Remember that we are still developing this game into what we want it to be. You could always claim that anything and everything is part of the game and needs no change. Just because it's the same for all doesn't mean it's a good design tho.

In my opinion, removing tap shots would be a good idea - simply because it's contrary to the offensive design of the game to let players use remaining lives as a resource to kill off players in the end-game.

I have no issues with people doing it as long as it's part of the game - I do it myself when necessary - but I still think it would be better for the game if it wasn't possible.

One way to combat this, would be to give a carry to the opposing player on fouls made when only two players left. Very similar to the breaking player is allowed a follow-up.

Jan, i assume you wouldn't agree that if you change it so much then there wouldn't be a point in calling it killer at all?

Lol yeah, 25 is way to much but i would love to play in a 25 man. However i think a 15 man would be cool.

Well, that's a consideration I would have to admit not having made at all until you mention it now.

For me, killer = darts. Pool is a spin-off in either case - but that's me
