I'm thinking if you do the matchup's correctly you only wind up with one such person at the end, whom all the others secretly precommit to killing.
...maybe this shouldn't be discussed publicly.
I don't think the system works in the first place without a monopoly on lethal force. You could work within the system by "voting" for his death, but then his friends (if any) get a chance to join in the vote, and their friends, til you pretty much have a new war going. (That's another flaw in the system I could have mentioned.)
