Dogtags is a plugin that allows player to cut-off dogtags from their victims. You can also... behead your enemies.
I think it will bring more fun to any PVP-server.
What are Dogtags
Dogtags are... map with images that contains a dogtag picture and player's name. When players is killed by another player with a defined weapon (there are two classes of wepon: knife weapon (default - shears ;) and a regular weapon (default: all types of swords).
Drop dogtags or head when player was killed by other player
Critical damage - deal additional damage
Backstabs - deal critical damage to player while you sneaking and hitting his back
Harakiri - an fine alternative to /kill command (with configurable cooldown)
Display special death message when player claim dogtag from his victim, or when player made a harakiri

Metrics and update checker
Dogtags includes two features that use your server internet connection. First one is Metrics, using to collect information about plugin (versions of plugin, of Java.. etc.) and second is update checker (required to find newer version of Dogtags at dev.bukkit.org). If you don't like this features you can easy disable it. To disable update checker you need to set parameter "version-check" to "false" in config.yml. Obtain more information about Metrics and learn how to switch off it, you can read here.
