TradeSMP turns every fight into progress or punishment. Every player carries one number, their Trade Level, from -3 to +3. Kill a player and it goes up. Die and it goes down. Climb high and you earn real combat perks. Sink low and the world turns against you. Hit the bottom and die once more, and you are banned.

Server owners can be up and running in a couple of minutes. SQLite works out of the box, so there is nothing to set up on day one.
