Player Interviews!
This week we interviewed 3 people! I feel all of these are amazing and I suggest you read them : D
The 3 people we interviewed were @TigerTwist, @developer and @Acid Reflvx
The interviews have been put into spoilers so this isn't extremely long!
When did you first start playing ManaCube?
I joined ManaCube in September 2020.
What gamemode do you mainly play and why?
I mainly play parkour and I’m mainly there because of the community changes all the time and there’s always something different happening from day to day.
What is your favorite memory while being on the staff team?
My favorite memory would be my promotion to helper.
What is your favorite memory before getting staff?
My favorite memory as a non staff would be when one of my maps was voted to be featured.
What made you want to apply for the staff team?
I wanted to become helper because I care about the community and I wanted to be able to help out in more ways than what I could as just a donator.
What do you rather, Building parkour maps or playing them?
I tend to say “I don’t play parkour maps, I make them” in chat and this is because I enjoy building more than doing the parkour. Building gives me opportunities to show my talent and what I can give back to the community.

What gamemode do you mainly play?
I mainly play Parkour! I find it the only intriguing gamemode as there's always something new to do. I play PvP for example, and it's just the same thing over and over again in my opinion. I like parkour because it has variety. Also, the donor community is amazing there!
What is your favorite part of the parkour game mode?
My favorite part is the community. They're always kind.
Why do you try to have so many forum posts?
Good question. At first it was to pass Laney, and I scowl at my old outlook on what the forums were. 250 posts behind Laney, I was banned for spamming. After that, I realized: I needed to change. This wasn't working!
So, I relaxed. I apologized to everyone and relaxed. The problem was, Laney wasn't as active as me. I passed her 2 weeks after the change. Now, she only posts once a week. Now, let me get this straight: She is my partner. I am not competing against her. It's been a strange journey.
If you could remove one thing in parkour what would it be?
Logically, I'd like the strictness for map submissions to be reduced. That isn't going to happen though, so something that could happen? Delete all of the older maps so people would understand what type of maps ManaCube is accepting at the beginning. When I first started playing, for example, I thought that they were accepting maps like LuckyBlock and made a map with absolutely no variance (I ended up deleting the submission). You should see the parkour maps on some creative housing servers, absolutely trash compared to the maps made on ManaCube. Sometime when I have the motivation, I'm going to go onto one of those servers and blow people away with knowledge from ManaCube parkour! This has been an idea for a while now. I guess I'm just lazy
How many maps have you completed in Parkour?
I've completed 1620 total maps, and something like 422 unique maps. I'm very bad at parkour, as you can see in my render inspired by ThatComicGuy lol
What are you better at, droppers or parkour, and which one would you rather?
Since I've recently switched to 1.8.9, droppers are much harder with the camera perspective change than in 1.16. Therefore, I like parkour more. Droppers may have good artwork, but parkour variation is more fun to explore in my opinion. Some of the parkour maps have incredible builds, too!
How did the 1v1 go with Dacon and what kit did you use?
Ah yes, that was epic. I love when Dacon is interactive with the players and especially me, as I simp him. I might not have patron, but I purchased another Minecraft account with the username xDaconFan and got it MVP+. Currently, I'm saving up cubits for Elite. Anyway, back to the duel. Dacon and I dueled 3 times in kit fight (I requested legendary, but he said he only does fight kit. That's fine!). He won all of the rounds since my hands were shaking :/ I mean, it's not every day you get to duel the owner of a 3 million player server. I hope we can play again sometime! I really want a screenshot of me killing Dacon, that would be a great thing to put into my signature.

When did you first start playing ManaCube and what gamemode do you mainly play?
I started playing on last season survival, I mainly play survival ofc.
What makes you want to play multiplayer survival instead of normal singleplayer survival?
I expect some competitive gameplay from multiplayer servers rather than singleplayer world.
If you could make one change to survival what would it be?
The gameplay system to be more competitive and less pay-to-win.
What is your funniest moment on ManaCube?
well, my memorable time from this season was when my whole party member got banned, and all of our appeal also rejected so we have to wait one week for it xD its funny how we blame our party leader cuz of this.
