    So this would just be a cute, purely cosmetic way to possibly bring in more donations? It could I guess also be in other game modes but I didn't see a "global suggestions" category.

    How it works
    Basically you pay lets say $1 for one effect of your choice, or $3 for 5, or $15 for all of them (there would be a ton of different effects, maybe 30-40?)
    In some sort of menu you can look at all the different effects, but can only have one active at a time

    So what are they exactly?
    Basically when you kill someone, a purely cosmetic effect happens. It could be a sound or a visual effect.
    Ie;
    I kill an enemy, when he dies, a firework goes off (just an example)

    Potential kill effects
    ~Various shapes and colored fireworks
    ~Different particles that can explode from them;
    • Ender particles
    • Flame particles
    • A purely cosmetic explosion
    • Etc.
    ~Different animals they turn into on death (like in old McCTF it was a villager and now it's a skeleton? You could change it to pig or something if you wanted)
    ~A lightning strike (purely cosmetic though)
    ~A sound;
    • Pig oink
    • A growl
    • Etc.
    Some other ideas
    Maybe class specific effects? These would probably cost more or something but lets say if you kill a Ninja there's a pig sound but when you kill a Mage, a lightning bolt strikes.
    And/or kill effects specific to the player's class. Ie if I went Mage my kill effect when I killed enemies would be lightning strike but if I went Ninja my kill effect would automatically swap to pig sound.

    Just an idea!

    Sounds kind of annoying. Especially as assassin or ninja in the enemies flagroom, this seems like it could be abused for more stealth...

    Edit: Also, some effects could be very irritating (ender pearl effects are something i directly associate with ninjas)

    Idk how annoying it could be unless you're really killing people every second. I consider myself to be an average player, not really good but definitely not rusty, and I rarely get more than 15 kills a game, and that's like when I'm really on point.

    I think given the number of kills people get vs. the potentially large capital gain balances out

    The only thing I'd like is the villager again. The sound is really more noticeable from a distance.
