Wait. That didn't make any sense. CraftPlayer doesn't impliment OfflinePlayer, rather, it's foolish to do that.

I still see no need for CraftPlayer.getPlayer() as getPlayer returns the craftplayer. the only way I see this being used is player.getPlayer().getPlayer().getPlayer() over and over again. :P
