Idea: (Reflex) Designing an arena with 4 rooms. Each room x gets lightning killed. barriers open players can choose new room. Barriers raise. Lightning kill again. Repeat.

Expected players: (Reflex) 20 - 200 players!

Goal: (Reflex) Be the last one standing.

Exploit: 2 people are left standing. player 1 wants to win. Player 2 wants to keep player 1 from winning but doesnt care about the game. He follows player 1 non-stop.

Me: What do you do then?
Reflex: I'd remove player 2
Me: That's not fair. He didn't do anything wrong. It's your system. He isn't doing anything illegal. Just going in the same room.
Reflex: Eventually one will split from the other.
Me: How can you prove that? I could auto follow.
Reflex: Then they both die and it starts over.
Me: So the event never stops because of the exploiter?
Reflex: Dude 1 in 200 can't guarantee sabotage.
Me: What if I did it and brought 20 friends on all hell bent on sabotaging this?
Reflex: Then you all lose.
Me: Then the event never ends and no one gets a reward? This could last forever.
Reflex: No, it cant.
Me: Im sure i can make it last 20 minutes with my friends.
Reflex: (Mad at this point) "You just have to be always right. You don't know."
Me: I do know. I script to stop exploits and program to stop exploits. Good code == no exploiting.

Fix: Kill 1 or more players in 1 room. Function could do it or chain lightning a room of players. Eventually 1 or 0 would be standing. If you killed 1 per room with a quick for loop processing the random room to kill somone it wouldnt take long to get it down to 1 person.

Sounds like the fix stops the exploit.

Making it clear. His killing is not a person, but an entire group in room x.
