  1. Totems of undying don't work in PvP arenas. I understand turning off this feature so that people don't use them on accident or something as they are a slightly rare item but if you take the time to vault a totem and have it in your hand, chances are, you wish to use it. Its unlikely that someone would have one vaulted over from another smp and in their hand while fighting if they didn't want to use it. (You also get them from voting and they aren't incredibly useful: with prot 4 diamond armor, you dont often meet a circumstance that a totem would save you from besides PvP so there isn't really another use. It wouldn't save you from swimming in lava (you dont get much absorption and you don't get regen 4 for long enough to save you for much longer), it wouldn't save you from lots of explosions (if they're staggered they can kill you right after the totem pops.))
  2. Because then rich players could buy PVP immortality.
  3. Isn’t that way SS have :p

  4. PvP arenas are used for events, etc in which we want players to have a relatively fair chance against each other. For this reason, a spawn item like the totem is problematic and they are therefore disabled.
