What went wrong with the succession game thread?

[Safe-Keeper]

Okay, so the title was partly to draw in people. But in all seriousness, I'd like to hear peoples' thoughts on the Bergbau thread.

On the one hand, there was only one other miner besides myself, but on the other hand, it's got 435 page views so far, so obviously people were paying attention. I'd like to try something like this again, and CaptainHalo has said in the thread he'd like to put something similar together himself (see his note on "Minecraft novellas").

So, what's your thoughts? Anyone want to tell me what you thought of the thread? The style of narration (screenshots+captions)? Why you decided not to sign up? Your experience following us as lurkers? What you'd like to see in future threads?

I have a hypothesis the lack of interest might be because everyone are running mods, while I ran an unmodded game? As in, would you be willing to give it a shot if I used the same mods as on the subsim Tekkit server?


I personally had lots of fun with this project -- it gave the game some additional excitement to be able to read another person's thoughts and then download a save and roam around to see what had changed since last time. So I definitely think this has potential, but I want guidance as to how we're gonna pull it off.
