    What I want:

    Hello Plugin Developers,

    My fellow staff team and I were sort of 'fooling around' on my server and have come to realizing that the game we often resort to is something that is most likely code-able and can be implemented into servers.

    Finding ourselves bored, we normally create a small arena (30L x 24W x 20H is about a good size). Afterwards, we set one person to creative mode whereas everyone else is in survival. The point of the game is for the person in creative to spam spawn anvils (by right-clicking the ceiling) and try to 'squash' the people in survival.

    Now, we think that this could turn into a true minigame. Possibly up to 5 people in one match, one anvil dropper and 4 anvil dodgers. What our server in specific needs is to incorporate an economy into it. For example, the longer you last, the more money you get (as a dodger). You get money per kill as the dropper, and there could also be a time limit... so the entire team of dodgers win if the time runs out, etc.

    As far as incorporating donor ranks and economy, that will be something in-depth that could possibly be talking over in a call or chat on Skype. The basics would be like what I explained above, but maybe donators could be able to help the anvil dropper if they die (they get no money for it, or maybe limited anvils, but still). A class system could also be of use, to possibly add an effect to the anvil like a splash damage type effect, or it makes an aura of slowing.

    Ideas for commands: The basics would be joining and leaving, and maybe incorporate that with signs like it has been done for with survival games. Afterwards, there may be something like choosing a class (if that is incorporated), or maybe picking to be dropper or dodger.

    Ideas for permissions: anvildrop.join, anvildrop.leave, anvildrop.class.{classname}, anvildrop.choose.dropper, anvildrop.choose.dodger. Those are just examples, though can be subject to change with how the plugin gets coded.

    When I'd like it by: No true deadline, though it would nice to have it as fast as possible.

    Additional Information: Though we clearly would love for this plugin to be private, I understand that we cannot do so if we are making a request here. Clearly, all credit to coder(s).

    Some of our ideas are in this video:

    Xapien Private plugins aren't allowed here ;)
    Fun game ;) Maybe something for when I get bored myself ( playing it, not coding )

    I did edit the post above. Thanks for pointing that out, and like I said in the edit, we are not bothered too much by its publicity.

    Great idea, also sounds like fun to code. If there isn't anyone who have begun on this by monday, (I don't have time until then), then I will probably give it a go. :) I'll look back monday.

    Well so far, no one has decided to take on this challenge. Though if anyone plans to take it on, we would greatly appreciate if there could be some sort of collaboration with me/the others who thought it up and the coder. I think that this plugin can turn out to be a full blown mini-game, and the fact that we can build on its enormous potential is pretty exiting.

    I put my contact info in the main post, so if you think you want to code this and want to talk about the plugin with me and/or the others, then please dont hesitate to contact!

    Why not just make everyone dodgers and automate the anvil dropping?

    I believe that part of the fun is being the dropper. I just created a video, which I posted the link in the main post that shows some gameplay and some of our ideas for the game too. We used magicspells so instead of having to have a ceiling to place the anvils, you just left click and it drops one at the location.

    Also in the video, there are magic anvils with poison and slow effects, etc.

    Sethbling made a video about this when it came out. He's already created it. Go look through his vids

    Though I do thank you for pointing it out and contributing to the conversation jakedawg55, As I said previously, I think that part of the fun is being the dropper. Smashing your friends is pretty fun when your in control...

    I guess you're referring to this video? :)
    When I thought about what OP described, it didn't sound like that though. More of a player vs. player kind of game, which sounds a lot more fun.

    Just watched the video, and I have a few suggestions and ideas myself, which I can go over with you monday, if it comes to that.

    Xapien This sounds pretty interesting, I think it would be a great project for me and I would be honored to be the Dev of this, I think it could turn into a really big thing like other mini-games on servers such as TheHive or Hypixels server. Maybe I'll get started on this. Don't get your hopes up though, I'm kind of busy, plus it would be great to have a group of Dev's working on this, quite a big project for 1 person.

    P.S. You can add me on Skype and we can talk about it. My Skype username is: Commander9292

    We could do some sort of collaboration if you want? Else it's all yours. :)

    Yeah we could try something like that, having another Dev would be very helpful!
