I was discussing this with a few friends the other day, we figured that there should be more sponsor items, they could be fun, or just basic items that can make all the difference.

Have you ever been in the situation where you have 2 diamonds but you can't find a stick anywhere? and then you find a boat, and it's a map like demon's breeze, it's frustrating and if somebody were to sponsor you a stick (which shouldn't cost a lot of points) it could make the game more enjoyable.

On the other hand, you definitely wouldn't want players to become OP through friends sponsoring all their points on one player, I personally like games to be challenging, not easy and i think a good way to do this would be to either limit the amount of items that can be sponsored to one player, or raise the costs.

Another thing I was discussing was fun sponsor items, like snowballs or eggs, it's ridiculous, but there could be achievements for things like killing someone with a snowball/egg (e.g knocking them off a tall building). Also sponsoring messages could be really useful, at the same time, there is always a risk of death/hate messages from people that have been killed by that player, however i'm sure there is some way to overcome this.

I totally agree, someone PM Forairan, or any developer about this idea. Haha.

I disagree with limiting or raising the cost of sponsor items. As it is, you can only sponsor one of each item (so people can't insta-sponsor two iron). And just 1 iron is 125 points, which the player who is sponsored which probably won't even make back in the game, even if they win.
I think we need more sponsor items, but more expensive or less, no.

You're right, MCSG has already done a good job preventing unfair advantages, but a wider range of sponsor items to select from would be pretty rad.

I agree that sticks should be a sponsor item, replace the raw pork chop with a stick. :p
