Oh and think about it
@jedijoe ,
@Fox and
@Miss Enoshima if you would say copying, what about the original sky wars and survival games? Though you made a point about the twist in Sky wars but Survival games... they don't really have a big twist besides kits and things...
Skywars isn't in the server here anymore and is currently unconfirmed (to my knowledge)
Survival games (at least to my current understanding) implements special equipment that applies effects, which isn't much, but in it's implemented state, not every kid on the block can just shove it into their server in one day. Map variety counts too!
However in the current state of your suggestion, you do not mention:
What are we going to use for maps? Suggested formats? Lengths? Are we just going to use the map already provided?
Timers? Any other general mechanics than just lower health?
For all we know with the information you have given us, we could assume the suggestion would be in many ways a copy of the original.
Now if you were to elaborate more on the matter, I may be more willing to listen. But as it stands there are just too many variables not filled in. Maybe as a suggestion, if we won't be cloning the map, make a prototype map? A map that doesn't necessarily have the function that the game would have (although it could) and represent a clearer picture to the developers of your idea, to prevent misinterpretation of the idea.
You're proposing this to developers who are all busy doing their own projects. No form of ambiguity should be a factor in a suggestion, especially one that can be easily linked to a previously made map. Then again party games (Specifically Ditto) did a similar thing, with not much variation at all from the original map/gamemode.
A racing game could be pretty fun. Maybe you could suggest kits such as Snowballer, throw snowballs at other players to temporarily slow them down! etc. if there's a timer, it'd be cool that if after the countdown no one has finished the race, all players start losing health - this could add some clutch, especially if players are almost at the end.
This suggestion is an example of something that would add something to make the game more interesting and original.
Who's side am I on in this anymore? No idea.
Tl;dr: Skywars is still long dead, SG is coming back with (hopefully) original maps and some mechanics that seem to pull inspiration from the likes of dayZ, and you should elaborate more in your original post your ideas and intentions of the suggestion
