The Final Countdown

More game ideas!

This game will be played in as mining, but no mining will be allowed. Instead, it will be a complete fight to the death. Everybody joins and the game will start as normal.

But there's always going to be a twist, right?

Every X number of days (probably in the range of 3-5) the player in last place MUST resign. All outposts will be how they left them, all drillers will continue on their paths. We continue in this fashion until second place resigns, and the winner will stand alone.

Extra Rules:
-eliminations can happen as normal. If an elimination does happen, the clock is not reset, and someone must still resign in the X number of days from the previous
-you aren't allowed to gift away/throw away everything you own an hour before your resignation time. This is just unsportsmanlike. And who knows, maybe someone is about to lose an outpost and boost you out of last
-being absolutely reckless in order to kill someone is... allowed, I guess. Sink the ship you're sailing on to kill the captain is a valid strategy
-you must resign. You are not allowed to throw your queen to an outpost and take an elimination instead of the resign. Cause then that could give someone a princess, and maybe an unfair advantage

I realize most of you care about your resign rates, and I'm sorry to do this to you. If you really wanted, you could make an alt account, but I'd prefer you didn't. Last time we tried that, both Nojo and Niv autoresigned.

Players!

Any feedback (good or bad) is appreciated :D

I mean.. I used to care about resign rate but I don't plan to be last. I'm in, with one question. Does your resign rule still count when there are three players left? As I'm all resign except one?

I'm not sure you understand it, or else im not understanding your question.

Lets say we start with 8 people. At the start of day 3 (or as close to as possible based on inactivity, the person in 8th place will resign. At start day 6, the person in 7th will resign (since there is only 7 players left). D9>6th, D12>5th, D15>4th resigns, leaving 3 people left. At the start of day 18, the 3rd person will resign, taking the bronze and leaving a 1v1. Start of day 21 will have the silver player resign and the winner is the only one left
