Like I just said, this isn't about the difficulty it was just about seeing if it would be a neat feature to potentially add.
Well the difficulty of adding it in is one of the factors in it's being added, and probably a big one at that. If it's too difficult to do with not that great of a reward, it really isn't worth it. However, if it's difficult but it's very helpful and the reward is great, it's still worth the effort.
If you're only wondering if this has the potential to be added, and don't actually care if it is added, then your thread was useless.

One flaw is that it would take up TONS of memory. Sure, MCSG has a lot of disk space (or whatever its called). But not unlimited.
To keep track of every time you were killed by a person, and each time you killed a person... that's a lot.
One thing that might be a suitable replacement is if you had a list of, say, 5 players. The system would keep track of how many times you died to those 5 players, and how often you killed them. You could change around the list, and once you added their name to the list, THEN it started keeping track of the numbers. That would greatly reduce the amount of space it would take up. If you deleted their name from the list, then perhaps it kept the data stored for ____ amount of time, and after that time was up, then the data was gone forever, and you'd have to start the count again for that player if you added their name back to the list.

God you're so negative. I know it's a factor on it being added, but the reason I didn't make that a factor in this thread is because I don't know anything about coding, or what it would take to make it happen. And I think you're wrong about the effort not being worth the reward, a lot of people seem to really like the idea.

I didn't say it wasn't worth the effort I said it's possible that it is, and it's possible that it's not. I didn't say anything against the idea, I just explained that your earlier posts on the subject are incorrect. How was I in any way negative?

You said right here that you don't care how hard it is, you want to see if it's a potential feature.

I just think you just come off a little negative, no offense. When I said it's about it potentially being added not about to difficulty, I was trying to say that basically I don't know anything about coding, so lets see if people are into it, and then the developers and admins or whatever can decide if it's something plausible.

Great idea, sucks it probably won't be implemented ever. Maybe not a rivals list, but when you go on another player's stats you can see how many times you killed them and how many times they've killed you. This probably won't get implemented either, but I like the way your brain works :)

Either or would be pretty cool I think. You never know, basically everyone has voted yes.

BTW: If you vote no, freaking say why! I don't see why anyone would
