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 Jun 13, 2013You got this right the first time. This is one of the few plugins on my server that just "work", and that my players don't have to ask a million questions to understand.
No need to update it unless it's broken. Thanks for making it.

I'm sorry, but I reserved all rights for this plugin. That means no one is allowed to overtake it without my permission.
I think that most of the features suggested are too difficult to implement, or I just don't agree with them.

Posted May 23, 2013Maybe someone should just take over this plugin? It seems the developer has lost the interest in it,. >.<

Also agree, Maybe just a nice little notification on login though to let the player know they have it off (Incase they like, What's going on? Why don't I get Hangman messages? -Asks Admin- Oh... I turned it off...) Yeah...

Posted Nov 29, 2012Would it be possible to add a feature that makes it so that players can't boost?

@semirotta
I will add a simple reward command option. You can specify any command that is executed from the console when someone wins.

It's intended that the creator of the current game can always start a new one, e.g. when he misspells the word.
