A BZFlag FFA game mode, where the player with the lowest score gets eliminated until there's the last tank standing.
A match of Last Tank Standing (LTS) consists of multiple rounds, where a round is defined as the time period where someone gets eliminated (defined by _ltsKickTime). When a match is started, all tanks are rendered immobile and cannot shoot until the match has begun. During the countdown, players are allowed to join or rejoin if they are not satisfied with their starting position. Once a game has started however, all players will automatically be moved to the observer team and must wait for the next game to start whether they just joined or were rejoining. Everyone's scores are reset to 0 at the start of the match, when the countdown reaches 0. After every 60 seconds (defined by _ltsKickTime), the player with the lowest score will be eliminated (i.e. moved to the observer team) and in the case of a tie for last place, no player will be eliminated.
