Hangman
Nothing happens in your server chat? You are looking for a funny game?
This plugin is the classic version of the game "Hangman". One player sets a word, and the other players have to guess it. They can guess single letters or the whole word. They have 12 tries.
Usability: I tested this plugin on my server for a while. All new players immediately understood how it works.
How it works
One player starts a new game:

All other players can guess the word:

Features
- Self-Explaining Commands
- News Message to advertise the new plugin (You can disable it in the config.yml)
- 5 second Guess Timeout to prevent message spam
- Simple Swear Filter with autokick (Look at the config.yml)
Commands (in Version 1.1.1)
| Command | Description | Minimal Permission Node |
|---|---|---|
| /guess <letter/word> | Guess the word. | hangman.guess |
| /hangman | Displays the help. | hangman.guess |
| /hangman hide | Hide all game messages. | hangman.guess |
| /hangman show | Show game messages. | hangman.guess |
| /hangman new <word> | Open a new game with the given word. | hangman.new |
| /hangman hint <letter> | Give players a hint. | hangman.new |
| /hangman kill | Stop a game. | hangman.kill |
Permissions (in Version 1.1.1)
- hangman.guess
- hangman.new
- hangman.kill
The plugin also works without permission systems: By default, all players can guess words and start new games, but only OPs can kill games.

Posted Nov 24, 2012add rewards?
if a player guess the word correctly -> gives him something :) for example a diamond XD
EDIT:
BUG: Players may start multiple hangmang games & it re-creates new one if someone already did one.. how bout make it tell "There is already excisting game" or such when the game is already going on. :D

Posted Nov 23, 2012Can you implement a top score list, and some simple rewards like money, items? Possibility to automatically pick random words from a list of words, on a timer? Just suggesting.

Release 1.1.1 fixes the permission problem.
I will rewrite the plugin and use the bukkit metadata system in version 2.0

Posted Nov 11, 2012Hey, I wanted to say I put this on my server and all my users figured it out right away. One thing that we all think would be pretty sweet is the ability to generate a reward for the correct answer, maybe a random item out of a configurable list? This way admins could make a game the players would have to guess. Thanks for the Sunday entertainment XD

Posted Nov 11, 2012Thanks for the cool plugin/mod :)
edit: I'm using both bPermissions and Vault but even with the new nodes added, my users don't have permission to use the commands. Only ops can use it (tested @ 1.1.0)
Oh.. I opened the jar and looked in plugin.yml. It had a hangman.play listed, and after i added this to my player groups they could start games and guess! o_O
plugin.yml: http://dev.bukkit.org/paste/6557/
(but there's more)
When doing /hangman , it shows:
/hangman show: Hide hangman messages until you leave the game.
/hangman hide: Show hangman messages.

The new version is waiting for approval.
I changed the permissions to:
I recommend you to let all players start new games. Often there is no staff online.
