local int i,
          num,
          Lives;

for (I=0;I<NumPlayers;I++)
   {
    Lives += P[i].Lives;
    Num++;
   }
NewPlayer.Lives = Lives / Num;

That would make the new player spawn as an average player to the game?

Hey dane thanks for suggestion.

Well it may be fair for who is enter, but not fair for the player that have just been eliminated (or that have only 1 live).

Also for that I will need to record players ips in a array in order to the worst player don't rejoin just to get more lives, actually I don't save any player identification and just record the worst live since this method in my opinion is fair for everyone and don't harm the players with same ips like extended lms do.
