    Suggestion:
    Adding guns to SG, and making a line of donation features to accompany guns.

    Reason:
    I'd personally like to see guns in SG very much, but i believe it also has benefits to the server as well. Having guns in new donation features, or maybe even adding guns to existing features, would definitely spice up SG, and make ECC more entertaining in the long haul. It'd also be an obviously great way for ECC to make some profit, if you were to add new donation features for guns.

    If you weren't to add guns into the standard four arenas, you could have a separate set for people willing to play including guns, even if it's just one. Or, you could do a system like how kitless games are decided, by having odds. Remember, these are all just suggestions.

    And like I said before, if new donation features with guns can't be added, you could have existing donation features come with guns as well, and if you were to use the, say, '/kit miq' command, it would give a gun loadout instead of regular miq in a guns-based arena.

    There's a plugin called CrackShot that allows you to customize guns to do practically whatever, and there's also texture packs that exist if a player chooses to feel more immersed during the game. I've used CrackShot personally before, and I found it very easy to create and use guns. There's also multiple other large servers that use CrackShot.

    I've also heard about lag being an issue, and my friend and I, @Rotunda4912 played some SG with guns on another server to see how her very slow computer ran during the game. Surprisingly, her computer maintained usual fps, which is only about 14 fps. That is also about what she gets anywhere in ECC except for the market.

    Link to this plugin:

    Please give me any feedback you may have, I'd greatly appreciate it!

    well maybe not sg because that would be too op or else everybody should have them but maybe in regular worlds whr u can hunt with them (recreation and stuff but not pvp) and it would have to be a donation feature or else it would be too op or like a star tool
    But overall in sg = to over powered

    What's your opinion on adding guns to a separate arena, @drodude ?

    hmm u would have to see how that works out im not sure whether people without donations towards the game will go unless everybody got a gun because they would just be completly creamed by the people with guns unless the damage was low.
    If it were based on an irl gun it would like instakill so honestly no point unless everybody got one in that arena
    another option just make it super rare for gun spawns in a chest but still guns may be a bad idea
    on second hand this would take a plugin which may prove difficult for the server staff

    Good idea... How about adding low-tier pistols to chests along with assorted ammo? And it doesn't have to be just low-tier, add SMG's or some decent shotguns, and it's an almost-level playing field, with the kitters of course being on top.

    These would have to be entirely custom, maybe something to look into after the hub/network is added, but IMO, not something to think about now

    Why do you say that, @JamieSinn ? And CrackShot being entirely custom couldn't be too difficult if I could dabble in the more advanced parts of CrackShot, with no prior experience in writing things like that.

    Programming things like custom items and such are not at all easy to do, and should be left for a more calm time for the dev team if accepted.

    This would simply destroy sg... imagine normal hunger games and then someone comes in with a machine gun and kills everyone in seconds.
    However this may be good as another game but not sg...

    We have bows. I already hate bows enough. NTY.
    Bows (in minecraft) kind of act as a gun.
    This would have to be custom texture packs / etc. I think of the many things that could be changed, this would be on the bottom of the list to add.

    -1 Lag, lag, lag... Why does every suggestion involve so much lag?
    -1 CustomTools
    -1 It literally says in the ECC tutorial that this is a "Family Server"
