• What do you change a lot that a reload command would help?

So far, just the idleKickTime, trying to find a happy medium. But you know, sometimes changes are necessary, and it really sucks to kick everyone off the server because you're making a minor edit to one plugin.

• Players DO teleport back to the location of the join sign.

My mistake.

• There IS a delay before they teleport back so they can see the fireworks

Also my mistake. I'll be careful to test more thoroughly in the future before making suggestions.

• Timeout for not moving will always kick out of the game to prevent cheating

Excellent. I hate cheaters.

• All timeouts force leave

Ok, with previous explanation, that makes perfect sense.

• Block effect delay is due to server lag/delay, not plugin.

Oh, ok then. I guess this plugin isn't going to work on my server. Thanks anyways. I did notice that this issue was occurring in one of the videos you posted, the narrator even mentions it. Maybe it's possible to have your block interact events get a higher priority than the water detection? Maybe not, but it's worth a look. Aren't you even a little curious to see if you can optimize your plugin's performance so that more people can use it, rather than just writing it off as server lag?

This is a fun plugin. I'd like to offer a few suggestions to make it even better.

• reload command, so a server restart isn't necessary when tweaking the config
• on finish, teleport back to location of join sign, or perhaps a settable location. I'd like my players returned to the game lobby, where they clicked the sign to play. A brief delay (configurable?) before teleporting would be less jarring, and give the player a chance to see the fireworks
• on finish or leave, return players to the gamemode they were in before joining
• allow leave command without arena name. People are not going to remember the arena name, especially if they used a join sign to start.
• timeout returns them to last checkpoint (it may do this already, I haven't tested that)
• a second, longer timeout that forces a leave rather than a restart
• less delay in the triggering of the various block effects. I keep running over diamond blocks and into the water before they are triggered.

Thanks for making this plugin! It's a welcome addition to my game world. I hope you'll consider these suggestions, as they are intended to make the game more easily integrated into a game world with a lobby, and to make joining, leaving and timeouts less confusing to the players.
