The monument bug has happened to me in either Bukkit or Spigot no matter where I set it.
I eventually learned how to place it where i want to by digging below then using the command.

Haven't had the other issues, we usually have between 50-100 players in a game.
Will let you know how it goes with the recent build.

Have a few bugs of my own, nothing major but will report them later today. :)

We've just played a completely new round on a completely new server with 1.6

Everyone has kept their effects, now a player is stuck zoomed in with enderman. We got teleported to the lobby and the game is marked as complete. 2 Different Games, 2 Different Ranks, 2 Different Mobs, 2 Different Players, 2 Different Maps, 2 Different Servers.
Removed all plugins, and the effects are still there
On a new map, it's still added the enchantment tables above the monument
Wolf eggs dont work
When jumping in the lobby it says "You are in a no pvp area"
/heal with essentials has not cleared the effects, they do not show for the player
Effects not shown when pressing inventory
Replacing the DvZ_Worlds folder has no effect

I'm happy to demo all this to you

Edit: All fixed now with new dev builds, thanks!

yes
Monsters are not able to move away from their spawn until they are released.
he would have to wait until the monster release
yes, but every monster can mine them. It will only take about 1-2 minutes
ok, investigating that
The assasins won't get moved
they only get new items and don't look different
monsters can use it if they get stuck so they can pick a new one

I'm trying to remove the potion effects, but it doesn't seem to work all the time. If you have essentials installed you can just use /heal to get rid of them.

Thanks for the cohesive and prompt response, just so i can fully get my head around it:

So the key to finishing the game/making sure people die is adding an assassin?
What does "Monsters Released" actually mean, when 1 spawn point is set for them?
If a player dies, say, within 10 seconds on purpose, would this not ruin the game?
Do you literally have to mine the monument (all 4 enchant tables) to win? which classes can mine to win?
With the latest version, as a wolf, I couldn't use the wolf eggs
Where does the assassin spawn?
What does he look like?
As a spider, I couldn't die, and I ran out of resources, so I got bored, what is the "Suicide pill?

I literally had to make a new server to clear the effects on us, as they weren't showing in the inventory, even with player data removed and the plugin disabled, we still had the effects. Can there be some form of clear command?

PvP should only be disabled between the dwarves
player monsters are released
set below to [] in the classes.yml (should be almost at the beginning)
? I don't understand what you mean
Well there is no real way except for failing(atleast right now)
? I don't understand what you mean
? I don't understand what you mean
change classChance for the the dwarves in the classes.yml
that is a bug that only seems to appear randomly, I don't know how to fix it yet
this is also a bug that only seems to occure on certain servers

I'm still confused, I did the release command, it said "monsters released!" and nothing happened. When I set the points it says "Using dummy game"

According to the picture, if a player dies they're a zombie, as with my 2 accounts, both are dwarves

Forgive me, I haven't played this game mode before, and it's quite difficult to set up with a lack of documentation on config/no tutorial video/nothing to explain how the game works in the info.

For example:

Is PvP off near the monument?
Do actual mobs release at release time, because none are?
How to disable the dwarf blindness exactly?
Can a monster change it's class, as theres no PvP near the monument how do you die?
How do you die in the standard game?
Wolf eggs don't seem to spawn with the wolf monster class?
Can we have a timed respawn?
How do you change the class percentage?
People are keeping their effects on game end? Now I'm stuck with sprint and a friend is stuck with slowness (iron golem)
I see 2 layers of enchantment tables - Is this right? http://imgur.com/dlIOmpx

You don't have to disable normal mobs, but keep in mind that when you creta the world all mobs currently in it will be saved, too.

Enclosing the monsterspawn might be a good idea, because else skeletons will be able to shoot arrows

Alrighty, it just shows the dwarves count, is that it?

Also, I made my world, started a game, and straight away a creeper came along and blew a hole near the monument. Am I supposed to have standard monsters off?

Should the monsters have an enclosed spawn point?

Your instructions for setup are very basic.

I think scoreboard is set to only when sneaking by default. You can change it in the config.yml

You will have to manually edit or delete worlds. They are located in the dvz_worlds directory. But make sure the worlds are namend "1", "2", ... or else not all of them will get loaded

How do I get to a world?

How to delete a world?

Scoreboard doesn't show for me, is there an option?

The chance for each class is defined in the classes.yml(or monsters.yml for monsters).

It is 100% for Builder and 20% vor all other dwarf classes.

How random is random? I've just begun setting this up and all I've gotten so far after 5 games is Builder and Tailor (mostly builder)

Sorry but I don't understand what you mean. Classes are allready given out random and you can use the "dvz.allclasses" "dvz.alldwarves" "dvz.allmonsters" permissions to give certain players the ability to choose from all classes.

Could you make it so players are given a random set of classes at the beginning of each round.

@And_S

That way if a player wanted to be a certain class, they could do a command to become that class.
