pretty quick, simple suggestion SUGGESTION Instead of instantly doing the final battle as soon as their are only 3 people remaining, say in chat *SHOWDOWN* Showdown beginning in 20 seconds! Get ready! and then wait 20 seconds to start it WHY? Often, it takes a long time to get to the final showdown. so, often, I go hunting for people to try to expediate this process. my problem is when I do this, if I kill the fourth-to-last person, odds are that despite the fact that I did the work to get to the final showdown, I will show up to it with less than full HP. The current system encourages you to kill until the last 5 people are left and then just hide and wait for the showdown so that you can enter it with the maximum possible advantage.
rabidworm , might wanna look at dis: http://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/sg-deathmatch-changes.72358/page-2#post-351688
I think you should tell this to kuke and have it in one big one rather than having a couple of smaller ones. But yes anything to improve or change the deathmatch seems good as its new.
