I like this but this seems complicated. So I'm not sure to +1 or -1 yet.

Is your suggestion to give perms to the sg map or just place wool? Because why would it matter if you can place saplings? I think you could just disable growth anyways.

 

The reason I said that it seems complicated is because you added this. Why would you also be able to plant sapplings? This part just threw me off and I got a little confuzzled lol.

 

I myself am a bit confused, if you are allowed to place blocks, specifically wool, would you also be allowed to break blocks?
And not just the normal leaves and vines, but any other block?

 

If your gullible enough to fall in the trap/hole. You deserve to stay there and die.

 

What if the final 4 are all too "gullible" and get stuck in holes?

 

Well i guess you wait till somebody starves/leaves and if t hey were smart enough to make final four i would think they would be smart enough to avoid holes .... atleast 1 of them

 

Yes, players shouldn't have to wait for someone else to quit. There could be other players waiting to play and that's just not "survival". It's whoever has more time.

Now, I'd like to introduce an idea I've thought of. Instead of adding the ability to place wool, after x amount of time with no action (no kills) it will instantly tp you to deathmatch. If there is 4 people left in sg than it could take less time to tp you to dm than 6 because the chance of a fight occurring at 4 people is lower than 6.

I disagree that you have to be "gullible" to fall in a hole/trap. Especially if you are new to the map, there are certain spots that don't look anything like a trap but really are and are easy to get stuck in. I play SG a lot and every once in a while I still find a new spot that is a trap.

 

How would being prepared allow them to get out of a hole?

If there are 5 people left, imo, it would be better to tp them to spawn after 8 (could be more or less) minutes of no activity than waiting the 20 minutes a full lobby usually takes on some maps (5 for example).

Or, I thought of another idea. If other people are stuck in holes there could be a command called /sg vote dm. If everyone one else in the sg agrees they can all go to dm. You would only be able to use this when there is 5 or less left to prevent people going to dm when its not even needed, like at the start.

 

I have experienced this situation in the past, however there is one major draw back.
If people had enough string before the death match, they could make a tower of wool to protect themselves until death match. This would increase the chance of winning immensely.

 

Where would someone get enough string to build a tower? If I actually look for string, I usually only get enough to make a bow.

 

Oh trust me, I've had enough wool to make a tower high enough.
[Edit] It wouldn't be very common, but it COULD happen.

 

Back when we could place melons (and not destroy them) people would place them in places to hide from others or to protect themselves. This eventually forced the other users to leave and the person won.

That's what happens when you allow people to place blocks.

(ignoring the rollback problems we've had where melons stayed after a game and blocked some crucial places.

 

That is what Kuke is saying. To people who don't mind being stuck in holes because it means that they are safe. They would take wool, and blockade themself in a space (likely with a chest) inorder to obtain the chest resets. The only solution that isn't 100% enforcable, is making a rule that users must do /sg leave if they get stuck in a trap.
