Deadly explosions

[Lackadaisical]

It would be cool if the killing radius could be independent on the hole radius, so you could set hole-size to zero in a fort game and instead of holing you can take down the defender with a kamikaze action

Which brings me to a feature request (which, as a sideeffect, would be able to produce the above result):
Holes that close up after a while.

I like this, elevates the element of strategy. With this setting, it forces players to pay attention to where they are killing their opponents (relative to their location).

[syllabear]

what (if any) are the points award mechanisms for this?

[dlh]

SCORE_EXPLOSION_OWNER: Points the owner of an explosion gains for destroying another enemy cycle.
SCORE_EXPLOSION: Points the enemy cycle destroyed in an explosion gains.

I'll tell you what I do like though: a killer, a dyed-in-the-wool killer. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real killer, when he saw the new feature that dlh made, would've immediately asked about how he can score points off it.

Ooooh, what does this button do?!

Rather pretty fast than a while

DD! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

and no holes could be fun

What about chain reactions? Player 1 boxes Player 2 who tries to survive, Player 3 drives along the opposite side of the wall which makes the box, Player 2 dies and Player 3 gets killed by the explosion while Player 2 gets points for that... why not, sounds funny

Does it kill teammates, too? -> Fort, center grind, some unlucky player dies and kills the whole team o.o
Yet not every game style or server needs to have it

What about chain reactions?

This is a very, very, neat idea. Especially combined with a big explosion radius.

Maybe even with points for starting them... like if Player 1 of that example gets a (little) bonus for the death of Player 3, too. Yet I don't know if it's even wanted (the problem who to blame for a kill/coredump might come back then...)
