I proposed a possible solution to this minor problem in the comments of the change log for this month.

...sure, with 1 area left the player is certainly the last player; if he flags, he is gone (this got some advantages: he wont keep stacking; u dont have the risk of a failed attack; he wont run amok).

If u want the kill only for your stats, u are obvious kill-point-whore and nothing else.

I'm not sure what Shev posted as a solution, but perhaps we could have a 2-3 second lag in between turns to allow for flags. No flags would be allowed during a players turn, allowing for 1hits and kills.

Just a thought.

Kills are a meaningless stat. Many winners don't even get a kill in a game, since it often doesn't really help, if your goal of winning.

maybe its meaningless to you but the stat itself is certainly not meaningless.

and yeah thrax, thats about it. roughly.

its not meaningless its another stat that adds a different competitive element to the game, last month das went for a high PPG, this month i know some people who are going for a high kill count, it makes people think about respecting flags or not (u dont have to its not a rule) i think this is one of teh best features ryan has added, it allows the game to have trucing flags and still confrontation and killer instinct, helps keep the game aggressive instead of the conservadice that gets played normally...also more people will go for the 1 hit...which is always good!

Kill faster!
