    Suggestion: Alright, so everyone that plays survival games probably knows this feeling. There's only 4-6 people left in the game, but you have no clue where anyone is, and the lightning isn't showing because there aren't 3 or less players. My suggestion is really 2 suggestion
    The first: A new survival games kit, that allows you to track other users through the use of say a compass. I'm not sure how possible this one is, or if Andrew would want to make another donation features, but it could be something like "Tracker" Gives Compass x1, Power II Bow x1.
    The second: Lightning starting to go off at 5 people instead of 3, as it would be much easier to find people, and games would not elongate just because 5 people can't find eachother for however long on a 500x500 map.
    Reason: Easier to find people in SG

    Any Other Information: Explained it fairly well up there^.

    Link To This Plugin: For the first suggestion: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/compass-tracker/ Though it appears it hasn't been updated recently :/

    I hate not being able to find people.
    However, I do not like the idea that someone with a donation feature could find you at any moment no matter how well hidden you are. Camping is part of SG, people shouldn't be able to hunt you down, knowing exactly where you are. Combine your suggested kit with another combat kit and you can hunt people straight from the start.
    I do agree with lightning beginning earlier though, this will allows games to not take so long. I personally do not play any arena except 3 because I can never find people towards the end of games on other arenas.

    That's why I came up with the secondary suggestion, as an extra donation feature is unlikely to be added anyways.

    Personally, the time between 5 and 3 people is the worst. Randomly running around like a maniac is not all that much fun.

    Perhaps give it limited charges? That might be a good idea so they have to use it conservatively.

    im 100% against this its bad enough people already cheat in hunger games as it is using mini maps to find players
    it a main reason i dont play hg that much.
    I think this is a bad idea hg is already bad due to donator kits makes players with kits more then often the winners
    hg should be just that find the chest, survive , or hide and win some cash at end not be whoever has the best kit wins
