Concise description:
I think there should be a team variation of assassin and terminator games. For assassin, each team would be assigned another team to eliminate. For terminator, a team would receive points from each opposing team they eliminated.
Specifics:
In the assassin games, each team's goal would be to eliminate their target team. The game would end when one team is eliminated, with the team that had them as their target winning the game. For example, suppose that in an 8-player game, team 1 is assigned team 2 as a target, team 2 is assigned team 3, team 3 is assigned team 4 and team 4 is assigned team 1. If red is eliminated, that won't end the game, but if green is also eliminated, team 4 wins. But, if red is eliminated, and green manages to eliminate both blue and yellow, team 1 wins.
For terminator games, points would be awarded when the second member of a team is eliminated; the points would be awarded to the team that eliminated the second team member. In a 6 or 8-player game, if pink eliminates yellow and red later eliminates blue, team 1 would receive the points from team 2.
With a limit of 8 players per game, triples wouldn't work, since 3 triples teams would make a total of 9 players. Quadruples would obviously be out, too. Both types would be limited to 6 or 8-player doubles games, since the 4-player version of either type would be the same as regular doubles.
This will improve the following aspects of the site:
Adding these two game types would give us new ways to play team games. For those who like assassin and/or terminator games as well as team games, it would allow the game types to be combined. It would also allow for two new types of medals.
