    Suggestion:
    Instead of giving money to the winner of the sg, gives gems. Gems can be a new currency in ECC, it can be traded for ECC by using a command or it can be traded for powerups/bonuses in sg (can be used once/ or can be overpriced but lasts a whole day) #1 place in a sg could receive 50+ gems depending on the amount of player, #2 place will receive 1/2 of that, #3 place will receive 1/3 of #1's prize. Gems can be traded for anything andrewkm/developers put in, such as: Powerups (+1 damage on everything) (Receive set of leather armour after Grace Period), EcoDollars, 50 for 2k etc etc, or sg points, kill one person for 1 gem, etc etc
    Reason:
    This will give sg a new meaning in ECC, instead of just upfront EcoDollars, it can give us a chance to trade it in for something else. Makes sg more competitive.
    Any Other Information:
    Ideas for powerups: +1 Attack On Every Sword, Full Set of Leather Armour, Wooden Sword, Instant Health Potion, ETC ETC,
    Link To This Plugin:
    N/A, I think there is one out there. I've seen servers with this kind of plugin.

    SG is made to integrate with the economy and revolves around getting money. Adding some kind of sg specific item would be somewhat counter productive.

    Hmmm, not a bad idea and it seems very plausible to be able to create a plugin like this but i don't think it would be able to be a tradeable currency like nstars.

    Other than that i think its a pretty good idea

    Maybe netherstars would be a better idea

    remember, these gems could be a new currency with /bal or something. Also, if it was nstars, it would make some sense. But what if you kill someone in game? Would that be added to when you lose?

    In thought, you would think something like this would make sense, however here is why it wouldn't.

    -If it gave Nstars, Nstars would become worthless because each game would give out nstars, and people would then stop voting causing the server to not get as many votes.

    -If it gave power ups, it would then cause people not to buy kits if they can get power ups free without having to buy kits.

    -if we did add this plug-in, it would involve implementing a new currency, which would be nearly impossible to relate to ECD in value, which could cause problems.

    Again, the idea is a good one in thought, but in actual implementation it simply does not over weigh the negatives.

    That is a great idea! All in all, it sounds like a good plan. But, I think there is one thing that could be added. Each gem should be worth a certain amount of EcoDollars. Therefor, when people gain gems, they can use them for other things, outside of Survival Games! I also like the idea of how you can use the gems to buy power-ups! Overall, it seems like a nice implement to Eco City Craft. +1

    First off, I asked for SG Gems, someone else suggested Nether Stars, also, powerups could be over-priced. This will make it more competitive

    I don't like this idea, it would ruin the need for kits. Also I think that if it gave anything else out that would decrease in value greatly.
    David_Torento Nice double post xD jk

    -1 I mostly play SG for money and sometimes for points, I would not want to see gems because kits ready cover this:
    Health potion-buffer
    Wood sword- any wood sword kit
    +1 attack- buffer
    Leather armor- perfect fir or elemental punch

    It's fine how it is and especially if you can trade gems in for money this could be abused quite a bit.

    Everying David said, plus;

    • There could be easy exploits on to how duplicate these emeralds (I assume that by gems you can emeralds??)
    • Could bring them out of SG and cause the emerald market to crash

    No, I don't mean emeralds, I mean a new currency, like when you do /bal, it'll show your your ecd AND your amount of gems. Sorry for the confusion.

    What are you suggesting? New currency or sg "gems"?
    Either way -1.
    Money is a real currency, and it is fine the way it is. It would be waaay too much work to change the currency.
    And most people play sg for money, so if we added "gems" most people would stop playing.
