This is a Mock - Up for a multiple choice rec page system.
(which should end up on separate pages eventually if it gets there, instead of on twine also with actual web links out, and a bit of fic and art, even if it's mostly youtube vid s)
Are you just interested in mcyt or mcrp or other stuff?
(still workin ' on this)
Let's just say "How to start out in Dream SMP " to start with:
[[Dream SMP->1]]
.Double-click this passage to edit it.Ok, what series wouldyou like recs for? Would you like to look by plain titles or descriptions of what the series are "like?"
[[By Title->2]]
This is very basic for now so we only have by series name.SMPs
Still pretty basic -
[[Dream SMP->3]]Dream SMP
What sort of recs would you like?
-
Getting into the whole story, in fairly simple straight line ways:
[[<b>I've only got a few hours!</b> - Simple, someone heaviliy narritivizing the story, acting out a few parts, a few almost hour long episodes long. The story line may have the fingerprints of the summarizer hardcore and a lot of cuts OFC (and i've included a couple things where i feel like it helps) but enjoyable and probably worth it!->4]]
[[A straight line, but more directly taken from streams and pieced together! Nice ass trade off between "history" and "telling the story" if you like a middle ass road.->5]]
[[My somewhat home brew of suggested streams plus a few animations (by Sad-ist)->6]]
[[Fuck that shit, i wanna go in raw, gimme gimme the animatics, and AMVs->7]]

I Wanna Focus in on an Era or Season!:
(COMING SOON)
Simple exploration and scams / scamming, lighthearted - THe Beginning and Disc War Era.
Revolution and politics! Storylines come into the server (Wilbursoot, Eret, Fundy join) - The L'manberg Revolution Arc (Hamilton roleplay for lyfe)
A Twist (ed) in the tale. Politics goes... a little south (and Schlatt) - The Rise of Manberg and Manberg / Pogtopia War arc.
Exile Arc - :'''' )
Culmination, riding the edge of fairy tale - The Fall of Dream Arc
Insert Tolstoy and Vicky Hugo here, introspection, mdern prison, colder wars. - The imprisonment and Rise of Las Nevadas Arcs.
[[Start->Start]] Evan MCGaming's "The Complete Story of the Dream SMP" videos - Plus the short series of excellent DSMP AMV's by SAD-ist.
And also watching one or two of the standard "Lore from all perspectives" compilations from the Imprisonment era, because that's where EMCGaming is weakest. They should be fairly searchable on youtube, i will put in links later.
-
What do i mean by weakest? Part of EMC's issues is he tells on his own slant, and makes assumptions, ok that's one thing, but doesn't always *tell* when he's making assumptions vs saying what people said on stream. You may have other ideas, but the Imprisoned episode is where it got super bad, or at least bothered me a lot, lol.
I think there's something about places where stuff could be a plot or just normal prison behaviors, and having them described as "certainly a plot or not normal" when they weren't described in that way in stream - it just hits different.
[[Back->3]]
Blueberry TV !!!!!! They are my new best friend (insert meme x) - there's still missing pieces and bias, it's just less noticeable. But they do just take from streams and cut and arrange them together into one story!!!!
They tend to get more of the "Bits" comedy, and queerer bits too - they show the beginnings of all or almost all the marriages.
If you want to get straight into story, starting on the 4th or at least 2nd or 3rd vid in the playlist might be good.
Otherwise the first is ok!
[[Back->3]]One of my homebrew suggestions for following things: Goofy as fuck comparatively.
EvanMCGming for the disc wars - or maybe some Tommy, Tubbo, or Dream Team streams, or pick a Blueberry TV video from near the beginning of things if you want to spend more time here!
The L'Manberg independence war - Wilbursoot's edited video playlist - starting from "The Great SMP War" This goes through the next era, "The Rise of Manberg (or Manberg vs Pogtopia war) era" too!
The Rise of Manberg era - WilburSoot's edited videos continue. (OFC) Also Quacity comes in! A good suggestion of some Quackity to wath (IMO) is def. this stream "I Stopped Wilbur from blowing up Manberg on the Dream SMP" As well as some others. Definitely watch his viewpoint on the Dawn of Nov. 16 battle.
Dawn of the 16th - Wilbursoot, Quackity, also watch the edits by Tommy and or Technoblade as well! Yea definitely. Also if you spot it, Philza's pov is kind of a neat easter egg, but that's down the line.
This is where you watch the SAD-ist animations !!!
Exile Era. Tommy. Just Tommy all the way. His streams form a good backbone. You might also look at Quackity (where he visits Tommy is one interesting one, also during the trial near the beginning.)
During the Hog Hunt event. Tommy ofc, but Toomy is faaar away for most.
You'll wanna watch Techno (Technoblade) for sure ( the stream: "Nothing Bad hHappens")! AND / OR ! there's the "Hog Hunt" animation ofc, and a live action shortened down re-enactment called "Execution" by Hero Destrin. (They also dod "Revived" which you may want to watch, even first if you DON'T CARE ABOUT SPOILERS)
And then after that, the Exile Arc continues with Tommy's Streams.
Doomsday - Blueberry TV has a good movie on this. or also, Tommy, Tubbo and Quacity or Niki (Nihachu)'s streams
The Final Showdown - Tommy and Tubbo's stream or Blueberry TV is good. There's also a SAD-ist animatic "The Final Showdown / The Final Waltz"
Imprisoned. Ranboo and Tommy streams especially - Plus there are some very important "Every Viewpoint" compilations of several events in the prison. Finally - Definitely "The Lessons" by Ranboo, also known as "The Enderwalk Saga"
Las Nevadas is going on around the same time if you want to keep going - Quackity's "Rise of Las Nevadas" videos here are edited - almost to a TV show level here!
Side stories - Check out Foolish's streams and Awesamdude's (but mostly foolish) for humor and amazing builds.
and either or, both Philza and Ranboo have somestreams and edits as well. For Philza, it's called "Just a Normal Day in L'manberg" or for Ranboo "I Joined the Butcher Army with..." Either title should let you search for the right stream on Youtube.
