Hey guys!

I just had a really good idea and would like to know what you think about it.

What if the Developers (I know they are busy people) made a mod that basically took the Survival Games plugin that is currently used, and made it single player, so that if you don't have internet connection, you can just go to single player, type in a command such as /sg {Map name} or something, and it loads up an SG game with 23 other people, with names above their heads and random skins, perhaps even skins of others from MCSG. Instead of this, there could be a world type option when you create a new world such as
SG {Map name}. When the world is loaded, you spawn in that map with 23 other tributes (Same as before). It would just be something really cool and I thought I should share it.

Thanks!

While I absolutely love the idea, it's soo impractical.

- The coding involved with making a fake player would be insane. A single one would take up.. well, a gosh darn lot of RAM. 23? Heck, that's even more!! A regular computer, and even a good one, would have issues running that, I think. (I don't know the exact details, just my guess.)
- If it were possible, how on earth would you beat a computer? Heck, how can you beat 23 of them!?!?
- The game could easily be hacked to make the computer players lose easily, such as falling off a cliff, ./killing, or being killed by you using commands.
etc. etc. etc.

Haha yeah I had most of those thoughts. Seems really dumb for me to write this now. Thanks for your opinion, I entirely agree with this.

No, it wasn't dumb of you to write this. The idea is really nice, it's just hard to pull off. But then again, Devs are like magicians with their coding abilities (Not really, but they CAN do some pretty radical stuff :3) It just might be that they haven't found the right spell yet.

Also, any idea if there's a Mod that makes fake people? Hm...

Actually there is a mod, or you could say plugin that gets fake people. The plugin name is Citizens. You can make it to be a sentry, builder, and many more things. But I'm not sure if they can even get it close as to being an irl player.

There is already a hunger games mod in which you can play false people, however Im not sure if it is still around. That does prove; however, that it can be done. I think that it would be great for practice, but the patterns may get too predictable. Still a great idea though!

AIs can be really easy to take down. Heck, just walking up, standing still and spamming the left mouse button would kill them easily. I know that you could get sneaked up on, but still...If they could pull off some amazing code which made them strafe, use FnS, Fishing Rod, open chests, put on armour, use the better weapons, throw out items to pick up better items, be able to sprint jump, etc.....that'd almost be impossible. Though, as I write this, I know that one day someone will pull it off....It's a good idea, but it would be absolute hell to code.

Exactly what I was going to say! :)
