The admins should use the new scoreboard feature to make it so that the server counts player deaths. This could be displayed in the tab list of people, it would put a number next to each person's name, and that is how many times they have died since the scoreboard was activated. Would be a great way to add some competition to the smp server.

Would It really add competition? Everyone would just stop doing anything that would risk dying. Plus, most of the decent players who have been on for a while run around in diamond armor 24/7 and never die. Seems like this would only effect new people as they join. Nobody else would die.

People still play games that have leaderboards, Jupiter. Even if there is a chance that they won't be in the top 10. The only thing I'm concerned about is if MrSnow would want to do it due to the fact that he has just given the network such a huge upgrade.

People are really competitive

People are really competitive any more. For example no one cares about having the most money much any more. So I think this would really add up some fun to SMP

I agree with JupiterAlthough

I agree with Jupiter

Although its good to see that somebody finally writes their suggestions down on the forum. So that we can actually read the suggestions and think about the ideas.

It wouldn't be a leaderboard liquid.. Because nearly every person on the server would be tied for first place with zero deaths for forever..

It would be super easy for you to setup, doesn't affect server performance at all, and people seem to think it would be fun, why would you not do it?

Because it will make the players who join after it's set up feel like they are worse than all the others. Tell you what, next time we lose all our data and everybody on the server gets reset to nothing, i'll make sure to add that in before anybody gets on. As is, having a completly unfair and biased leaderboard that favors everyone who was there before we added it is not something that I would want, or something that would make a new player want to stay.

Aww, come on jupiter. I must have died like 10 times today. I wouldn't mind letting the world see that.

Note to self: Put railings around my house.

I agree with jupiter. there

I agree with jupiter. there is no way for it to count the deaths before it was added. so the death board would be highly skewed and make the new players feel like crap and maybe leave, thinking they are no good when so many people have 0 or very few deaths.
