(NOT another lets play series. Actually no vids at all....
Infact, this might be the first thing of its kind done here. And yes I know, in MC we always think we discover things, but enough of my rambling in italic, read on ! )
Hey guys, Im not sure if this is the board this goes on ( Fan Art said short stories, this deals with a LONG MC re-enactment of a true life story.) so before I do what I want to do, Im going to ask...
( Tl;dr: Allan Gordon was a 17 year old Scottish sailor in the 1700s whose whaling ship dissappeared without a trace after hitting an iceberg. He was the sole survivor. He survived in the Arctic by himself for years, drifting on glaciers and icebergs before getting back home. )
Im asking because if I do it, It will probably be the christmas break project for me.
I read the book when I was in grade 4, and It always captured my imagination and fantasy. It was just about ONE man, pitted against the extreme side of mother nature, with only his wits ( and some rum ) to survive with...
... which sounds a lot like MC ! I want to reenact the epic tale of Allan Gordon, with chapters, pics, and some well written narration ! Cause you all probably dont want to read a few hundred pages of old Scots narration !!!
Tell me what you guys think, and If I feel encouraged enough, I will make this happen ! ( My first ever Minecraft fan fiction )
Based on responses here, I will make the decision on whether I will be doing this or not, since I dont really know how people on here feel about story telling with minecraft.
Taking advice, critism, and even a slap to the face !
Thanks for the support ! I might make a prologue-ish chapter tonight, probably to explain the background stories and childhood etc, to show roughly how it will be.
I vaguely remember reading that story when I was younger... Now that you mention it, it totally sounds like Minecraft. I wonder if you could use that biome mod to generate an entirely snow covered map?
Worry not, lad, there'll be pleny' o rum on the journey !
.. probably in buckets but hey- how much manlier can you get ?
@Ginger: I will definitely give that mod a try, but does it work for Beta yet ?
If not, its okay, I already got a back up of Alpha, cause sometimes I just GOTTA have my doses of Mo' creatures and Humans +. Which reminds me..
There is POLAR bears in Mo creatures ! Oh DrZhark... you make my world complete
Eitherway, I made a new world and it starts in a nice big, icy , snow biome. If it doesnt suffice me, then Ill need a mod for sure.
Also, I will have a prologue chapter up tomorrow ! My encouragement meter has filled up !
Actually, I'm not entirely sure yet, I was just thinking about it because it can also edit water heights - I wanted to make a Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker map. Here's hoping it's up to date.
There was a glitched map/world that occurred recently and was posted about. It seems that it somehow glitched up and chunk errors caused what appeared to be icebergs to be floating offshore. Deep snow was also another interesting quirk as it doesn't occur naturally... Until this world, of course.

The OP posted a link to download the glitched world. Just download it, and put it in the appropriate folder and off you go!
YOU...
YOU....
JUST FOR YOU I MAKE ZIS STORY !!!
EDIT: Man, that was so helpful. I had no idea how Id do it, since most mods still arent working with Beta and I dont wanna keep loading and unloading my old Alpha client. Thanks again.

Would any of you be interested in/follow a Minecraft story/picture thread based on this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allan_Gordon ?

But where, has all the rum gone?

I used to be known as Scizor on the MC forums. I run a pony Ask blog!
