Points awarded in mercenary

[Spazm]

I just had a quick question about points; I had the pleasure of (nearly) running the board in a Mercenary game; at the end taking out 4 of 5 opponents and netting...21 points? I was surprised at how low the points were, since a 1v1 against a newby still nets about 23-25 points. Game 936.

If you check the record you will see you got all the points, but the victory screen only shows the points for the last kill. It's a bug, but you got the points.

In mercenary, points are awarded directly after an elimination, and there is no "total" gain of points that goes to the winner.

Notice how after all your kills, you were awarded points:

08/30/10 10:28:57 Spazm Spazm is victorious! Awarded 28 points
08/30/10 10:28:57 Chilly Eliminated by Spazm

So in reality you gained 21 + 28 + 16 + 26 points: 91 points. And, as an added bonus, you eliminated neutral player

Oh ok, thanks! I haven't played many Merc games (and haven't been very successful in those I have) so I thought that I would get a "Victory" or point screen after each elimination; I should have looked at the log. Thanks for the quick responses gents.

Does this also mean, when u are eliminated, points are immediately taken off, even if the game is not over?
