I couldn't any plugin available adding a mass amount of users. Is there anything out there for this purpose? I guess I could just import the values directly into the database? Would that cause any problems?
Second question: If I do create a mass amount of users, is it smart to bypass the e-mail requirement? For the users I want to create, I do not want to create emails. Would WordPress not like this - does it physically need them?
Install a test blog, create a user of the Role you want all your uses to have. Then use the records in wp_users and wp_usermeta to create a SQL INSERT statement for your users.
Look at the INSERT statements in wp-admin/includes/upgrade.php to see how the initial admin user is placed into the tables.
I'd assign an email address, even if it's a useless address.

I was asking since I have an auto-mailer installed (subscribe), and for the users I am mass creating, I do not want them to get emails, and if I use a fake email, it's still going to try to send it... which may cause efficiency problems.
Might look for a SubScribe plugin that allows you to not send email to every user.
Might install a test copy of WordPress and create a user then delete the email field and see how your blog and plugins react.
