Lets Play : Minecraft Experiment
« on: September 21, 2011, 12:27:58 am »

(I'm not sure this was the right forum to post, but I think it fits in !)

I've had an idea with Minecraft, and I hope you like it too.
This is the basic idea :
Someone plays through a solo game, building stuff, roleplaying about what he builds, does, etc, until he dies. When that is done, he stops playing (or only to reset spawn and such), and gives the save out.
Then the other players must investigate his game and try, from what information they gather in the game (signs that he left, buildings, etc) understand what he was doing, creating, how he died... Rewrite his history. (Without worrying about dying)
This can be a collaborative effort, people sharing opinions, etc. The purpose of the first player is to create a logical and interesting world to explore and try to comprehend.
This until they get bored from the world or figure out most of the things, then another player starts creating a world.

To start off, here is my save :
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/27894007/Ademonis.zip
To use it, you must have Minecraft 1.8.1 with no mods installed. Go to your AppData (type %appdata% in your search bar if you don't know where it is) and .minecraft folder, then extract the zip into .minecraft/saves.

I hope you find this interesting and fun ! :)

Interesting idea. Could be quite a while between turns if people are careful. I will watch and maybe try this out later

I think these are seperate worlds.

As in, you explore OPs world, determine death and life, then start your own world. build stuff in that, die, pass on your world, repeat

Sure ! I think it should be most interesting if people exchange what they see, and try to figure out what happened together.
I've got to say though, this save isn't very interesting. But it should get the idea rolling :)

That's exactly it.

No. We are archeologists in his world. explore it, take pics, and figure out what killed him, and why the different structures were built. Take screen shots, post you conclusions, and then make a new world, build in it, explore a bit, and when you die put the save up for others to explore. they repeat this process.

 I could take the first turn if it helps to have an example

World construction in progress. watch this spaceOkay, something is wrong with my minecraft and it's a bit late for me to be messing around with it, especially since I have homework. I would reccomend someone else just go ahead and make their world and upload that

Very interesting, although I won't play.

As it turns out, the pen was in fact a poor choice for melee combat in comparison to the sword.
So I just started playing this game and I accidentally nuked the moon.
