Don't worry, this thread is about Minecraft :)

Each time a player makes a mistake and falls, or they get shot with an arrow by a skeleton, we'd like to have a few custom messages. Here's an example of a default configuration file, but we're 1MB, we're on the OMG boards, surely we can take this to the next level.

Please pick a couple you think should be changed and make a recommendation? :)

  message: '%s has died mysteriously and without a trace!'
TRIPLE:
  message: Yee-haw! Someone's on a dying spree!

The %s is a placeholder for the player's name. (%s has died == mrfloris has died)

Things in caps are the cause of death, and because this is a .yml file single quotes and stuff need to be escaped, so: don't ends up as don''t (i mean, that's normal).

Looking forward to your suggestions!
