This is going to be the first of a series of three rants I'm going to post between now and Sunday. This topic is going to be on adding an RPG to Cubecraft, something which has been badly needed
Now for the actual rant. Let's talk about role playing games! Role playing games have the most open ideas - you can do anything with them! But nope, Cubecraft decides to add unoriginal games that are 80% copied despite "Wanting to be original" Of all the games Cube has, exactly ONE is an original game: Hourglass. Every other game is either copied off another server (Eggwars, Spleef, SG, UHC). DESPITE WHAT THE STAFF TOLD YOU, GOMMEHD'S BEDWARS CAME OUT FIRST. And no, Cubecraft did not invent skywars. Just another conspiracy theory - just like eggwars - made to entrance the players. The other games are just cheap copies made for wannabes made from Nintendo games (except Blockband).
Now back to the RPG. And no, I don't mean an Earthbound or Terraria style RPG. I'm talking about a Murder Mystery Style game. Murder Mystery is a great game and it's gotten me addicted pretty much (I love the game).
Idea #1: Bring Back Ender. Now tell me, WHY was this NOT kept? Just because it needed a little bit of balancing work? And don't give me the excuse "It was a Halloween game" becuase I didn't see one thing Haloween related in that game. And don't say "It was unpopular" because I can personally gurantee that the only reason the game was unpopular was due to the horrible balancing (I would've most likely loved the game- I only played it twice). I also believe that around 73% of the community voted to keep it - why was it not kept? (This is going to be the topic of the 2nd rant) And if you don't want this game back but would like a horror game:
2nd idea: Five Nights at (Cube related name). I might make a separate suggestion for this, but right now I'll keep it on the rant thread. You don't have to make it extremely complicated - 6 player game, 1 player at the desk, 1 on the phone, and the rest are the 4 robots. Or maybe more people could fit in and act as invisible security cameras. (Effectively making this an 8 vs 4 team game) Obviously, there'd have to be counterbalanced so the robots can't nonstop attack and the desk giy can't keep the walls closed all night. Maybe they can only enter the side rooms once per minute? It may need more development, but it's a start.
Idea #3: Prison Escape
Why hasnt this been added as a game? It's an extremely simple game to code and it could be wildly popular. In this game of 20 players, 8 would be prisoners and 6 would be indoor and 6 would be outdoor security, For the prisoners to win, just one needs to make it out of the outer walls of the prison. It would be set up just like a normal prison, and no blocks can be broken within the prison. To break out, they would either need to get out the front door, go out the back door, or find TnT to blow up the walls. You can also find knives and guns scattered throughout the prison to kill the outer (and inner) security guards. Ultimately, you have to use the delivery truck to break out of the wall (or blow it up). All security guards start with a tazer and handcuffs. If you're hit with a tazer, you'll then be dragged back to your cell and locked up. Your teammates can free you, but they need to steal the keys from one of the policemen or they need to blow your cell up. Outdoor security guards get access to the watch towers and can shoot a beam of light at the ground. They also receive a laser which knocks them out and leaves them there. However, the laser can leave the watch towers They can either be revived by a teammate using another item hidden inside (A special potion) or they can be pulled back to their cell. Now, the words indoor and outdoor guards don't limit where they can go, it's just indoor work much better indoor due to their lack of range and outdoor work better outdoor due to their limited mobility. They can move in between, but it's not recommended. Jailbreakers win if one prisoner escapes the grounds. Guards win if every prisoner is back in their cell or times runs out (The prisoners have 8 minutes to escape). It's likely I'll make a full suggestion thread on this.
Now for all these games, there would be a system to determine who gets the smaller roles.
Ender: Start at a 2% chance to get Ender
+4% Chance for Playing and Dying as Human
+12% Chance for Playing and Winning as Human
-2% Chance for Leaving Early as Human
Back to 2% for Losing as Ender
+0% for Winning as Ender
This is of course after the game is balanced.
FFAF: Start as 20% chance as desk guy, 60% as a robot, 20% chance as phone. I can't come up with a good system for this one.
Prison Escape: 40% as Prisoner, 30% at Each Security Guard - Decreases based off what you just played.
So please, just add a freaking RPG game already. Your player base is quickly dwindling, you need an out there game to get it back from Hypixel. I feel that one of these three games could do the trick.

IF I SEE EVEN ONE POST SAYING CUBECRAFT LIKES TO BE ORIGINAL I'M POSTING A FOURTH RANT ON THAT. Thank you have a nice day
