Actually, TURN CHANGE!
5 shot unload on everyone around me, don't worry if gun jams, throw it away and grab my freshly killed corpses gun then fire on person.

I think I'll have too just to handle all this. How many players do I have for the second round, again?

Snatch away Dewboy's gun, because yay dual-wielding.
You can fire two guns at once, but you'll take a pretty heavy penalty.
After the round, I'll have a little upgrade phase, and I'll make a "gunslinger" perk that reduces that penalty.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

~20ish? But if there's more people, doesn't that make it likely that even more will die out at a faster rate?

Well, if the statistics hold true, then every round, as long as everyone shoots, then 1/3 of the players will be killed unless using cover.
Another third will be injured, and will die if hit again, so every turn after the first, it's over 1/3 that will die.
So if there are ~20, then the odds are that ~7 will die, and ~7 will be wounded on the first turn.

I just thought that would mean the game would be a bit easier to manage as it went on longer. Of course, if you want to set a player limit, that's cool too.

No, I'm not saying I want a player limit.

I want death and bloodshed.

Theoretically, but that is assuming that everyone will be actively firing, there is in fact a 1/6 chance of the gun jamming so assuming linear probability approximately 3 people at the start of the turn would get the next turn spent in jamming it, with 3 more each turn, putting the total down to 17 people firing next turn, and that's not assuming the fact that even if every person who got injured didn't fire a 6 or 5, we got a 1/6 chance for those 7 people to kill someone, and we only get one person who kills when injured, unless all the injured fire at another injured, giving a 1/2 chance of kills to another, leaving 4 or 3 if the seventh has a 1 dead, approximately 2 of the injured are left with another killing shot, or more I'm not bothering to count if they all shot injuring shots, giving 12 killers left, 2 more jam their guns, approximately 10 left, presuming the injured kill themselves, 8 still have killing shots, if none of the injured don't kill the other injured Anndd I'm to bored to finish the rest yet.

Hm...let's assume everyone shot at by exactly one other person. Easier that way.
In a 20-player game, one would expect every player to be at least wounded by turn 3 or 4, and the game to be over by turn 5, assuming perfectly even wound distribution, which isn't happening.

EDIT: Criminy, left out gun jamming...yeah, that throws everything out of whack. Even more than the non-totally-fair distribution of getting shot does.

Alright, might as well finishwhat i started.

Theoretically, but that is assuming that everyone will be actively firing, there is in fact a 1/6 chance of the gun jamming so assuming linear probability approximately 3 people at the start of the turn would get the next turn spent in jamming it, with 3 more each turn, putting the total down to 17 people firing next turn, and that's not assuming the fact that even if every person who got injured didn't fire a 6 or 5, we got a 1/6 chance for those 7 people to kill someone, and we only get one person who kills when injured, unless all the injured fire at another injured, giving a 1/2 chance of kills to another, leaving 4 or 3 if the seventh has a 1 dead, approximately 2 of the injured are left with another killing shot, or more I'm not bothering to count if they all shot injuring shots, giving 12 killers left, 2 more jam their guns, approximately 10 left, presuming the injured kill themselves, 8 still have killing shots, if none of the injured don't attack the non injured, we have 2 injured left that can only wound, with a 1/3 chance of doing so, they fire at each other and one kills the other, 7 left, one dude jams and we have 6 people, 1 injured, one dude fires at the injured and the injured injures him, leaving 5 one injured.

Hmmm, we need to sort this out:

Injured casulties: turn one: 7 injured wait, damn! Half should have leg injuries, great, so we got 3 who have arm injuries and 4 with leg, so instead we have 3 Injured and seventeen have no problems but lets assume, we have all the injured firing at all other injures, hmmmm

Anyone up for transfering this to the derail thread? I don't want to cause to much trouble anyway.

You used /quote instead of /spoiler, which messed up my post where I was trying to say you messed up your BBCode. Then, when I tried to fix it, the spoiler messed it up instead of the quote. So I gave up.
