---------- DeathMatch Mode ----------
Everyone's a killer in this slashfest... Be the first to reach the winning number of kills (your own deaths count against you) to claim your place as champion!
---------------------------------------


I guess no game in which players can kill other players is quite complete without the ubiquitous DeathMatch mode, right?

So, I added this mode to Murder Mansion to bring it up to "code"...lol

The general gameplay of this mode itself is the very straightforward "kill everyone, and try not to get killed" that you'd expect from DeathMatch, but it has some variations as selectable options, so the rules for this round are pretty lengthy, but that's only because they give a run-down of the 4 different sub-types that can be chosen (by a BYOND Member!) when starting the round...

The rules are as follows:

---------- Deathmatch Mode Rules ----------
All players are free to kill, and will "respawn" when killed (as in your typical multiplayer FPS)...

This mode can be played either in Points-based or Timed rounds (selectable by BYOND Members only) with different variations of each... The options are as follows:

Points based (number set to 1, 3, 5, or 10)

First to:
The winner is the first to reach the number of points set for the round (Note: Points equals total kills minus deaths)...

Lives Left:
Players are eliminated once they have died a number of times equal to the set number...

Timed (time limit set to 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, or 10 min)

Most kills wins:
The player with the highest points (kills minus deaths) when time's up is the winner...

Least kills eliminated:
The player with the least points when time's up is disqualified, and this is repeated down to the last player standing...

Hot Potato:
All players may kill, but one player is picked to have Murderer Status, and he/she must kill someone else to "pass" Murderer onto them... The player stuck with Murderer status at time's up is eliminated, and this is repeated down to the last player standing...

Musical Chairs:
All players may kill, but none of the players is given Murderer Status at the beginning of the round... Players must kill others to "take" Murderer status from them... Any players without Murderer status when time's up will be eliminated, and this is repeated down to the last player standing...

Default settings (automatically set if a non-Member begins the round) are Points-based, first to 5...

The Clue Book displays the current scores, and marks the player(s) with Murderer status by a red asterisk... The Phones on the map connect you to a mysterious person who has the place under surveillance, and tells you the location (IE "Red Bedroom" or "Kitchen" or "Outside") of all players in the round...

Hopefully that explains it well enough...

Now get in there and kill each other!
