A lot of players are so eager to go after their target, that they overextend themselves and don't defend well against being assassinated themselves. Sometimes I see players that are really weak, and instead of trying to recover and stay alive, they might still relentlessly pursue a target that they have no chance in assassinating. I build defenses and if my "assassin" gets too strong, I will attack my assassin instead of my target.
I agree with you that its crazy how some of the people are attacking too much, overextending and then basically taking themselves and you out of the game. I see this especially of Conquer 500 and Monsters. But killing the wrong target is not the answer. Once is a mistake, maybe twice. But making this a practice is not allowed.
2 things here.
1. I have a very low number of "deaths", being assassinated. In certain games I intentionally attacked my assassin. I think there is nothing wrong with that. You can't win the game, and assassinate your target, if you are too weak yourself. So if my own assassin relentlessly attacks me, I strike back, hoping they back off and I can rebuild and still win.
2. I have a high number of accidents. These were not accidents, none of them; there were indeed games where I was at risk of getting assassinated and by eliminating a player who is not my target, I rescued the 1 point awarded for "surviving". Without the 1 point for surviving I never would have done this. I get it that this doesn't make it right and it can been seen as throwing the game. I wonder if I am the only player that did this.

Since this is likely in breach of the general rules of CC, I will withdraw from the remainder of the tournament with apologies to the organizer.

Thanks for the honesty. It was never my intention to encourage accidents as I call them and I think the majority of them were indeed by accident. I will in future tournaments put in an extra rule or something that will penalise taking out the wrong target but as this and my other tournament Dealers choice are nearly over I don't think I will change the rules at this time.

I can accept your resignation but if you are serious and your not planning to intentionally take out the wrong target you are welcome to remain in the tournament.
