Would You Rather?
Would you rather is a unique and ridiculous minigame where players are prompted with different options, and forced to choose the seemingly less painful of the two. Every configured amount of time, all players will be presented with a "Would you Rather?" prompt. Each prompt contains two choices, with each choice containing a beneficial effect, and a detrimental effect.

Acknowledgements
I need to massively shout out EightSidedSquare for coming up with the idea of this minigame. I loved watching his showcase of his WouldYouRather mod, and I thought it would be a perfect addition to have a similar concept implemented in this plugin.
