Hello, Planet Minecraft!

This is the very first time i'm making a blog post here, so i don't know if i'm doing this right, i hope so!

Important! If you don't know what an ARG is, i reccomend reading this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game

As the title would suggest, i'm trying to come up with a concept for the story of an adventure map that i'll make, and i've recently beated Portal 2 (so... good...). Now... where does the ARG fit here? Well, you might know this (i didn't), one of the ways that Portal 2 was announced, was with an ARG made by Valve, and i've been doing some research about it, and i realized, it was pretty darn complicated, but awesome at the same time, and i started thinking: ''This would be a pretty good plot for a movie!'' And then i thought the same thing, but for a video game. Later, i thought: ''No one would want to do a game about a ARG, but i would, too bad i can't...'' And that is how i came up with the idea of an Adventure Map for Minecraft!

But, as we all know, ARGs are actually games, only that in real life, and every player is a different protagonist, so, how would that fit in an actual game? Or a game like Minecraft? Personally, i think is a great idea, but my goal with this map is that the community accepts it and likes it, if not, it would just be another one of those terrible maps, and that isn't pretty.

To me, Planet Minecraft is the best Minecraft Community site (not counting the Minecraft Forums here), and since what i'm looking for is an answer from the community itself, the best thing that i thought of doing was a blog post in the site, and that's what i'm doing right now.

I want YOUR opinion, and trust me, it counts (more than what you think). So, with all that said, please, leave your feedback in the comments below and based on the response the community gives me, i will, or will not, make the map for you to play and, hopefully, enjoy!

PS: If there's anything wrong with my English, let me know, because my native language is Spanish, and i don't think that my English is perfect, sorry!

Well...

Given the low attention that this blog has received during these past few days, i decided that i will do the map, and the opinion will be given as soon as i release the map.

Although it will be the very first adventure map i'm going to publish (yes, i made one in the past but it never saw the light), i think this can be a pretty good map.

This will definitively be challenging because i will have to write a script first, and i have to think how the actual ARG in the map is going to be, and i don't even know how long it's going to take so, bear with me!

One last thing i want to add is that if you have an idea for the map or if you would like to help me on it in any way, just PM me and i will see what happens.
