What is up with Player30? | The Player30 ARG

Hey everyone, thanks so much for watching this one, I hope you enjoyed it. I like this style of video, even if it didn't work so well in the MSCHF video, I hope you guys still enjoy it. I wish everyone a Happy late Easter and hope you guys will enjoy more. For those who actually read the comments, I have 3 new scripts in the writing phase and The Sand Man is done filming, just need to finish its script.

[@postpunker1686]

Fun fact: there is a thing in russian minecraft community about creating "corrupted" or "mystical" versions of minecraft, so some versions on his channel can be real existing fan versions (atleast the one with long bedrock tunnel is real), there is a whole russian wiki with different horror versions

[@asrieldreemurr2523]

Are any of them... Safe to play? You know how things are whenever it comes to things on the internet lol

[@Randi_MyMan]

[@NerdStuffing]

​@@asrieldreemurr2523I suggest just playing them on an old PC. I have a garbage windows XP just full of them. I got it third hand so it already had viruses free too!

[@badger273]

Makes me wonder if that's what they're referring to with the "remaking versions" comments. Or maybe that this is less of a fully fleshed-out ARG and more of a fan's recreation of various other existing pieces of media, all put together in their own story. Which could mean we're actually missing out on a lot of details because we're not Russian that Player30 expects us to already know

[@postpunker1686]

​@@asrieldreemurr2523sorry for awnsering so late (didnt get a notification). As far as I know, these versions are being scanned, before being uploaded on the wiki, but some fun creations are trying to look like viruses (opening calculator, popping up error messages e.t.c). Aftet all, you can just scan them yourself

this arg may either just be incoherent as hell or complicated as hell. it doesnt seem to be finished though, so i wont say which. it was still really weird though, might have something to do with it being made by a slavic person (who i've found can come up with some really weird stuff without trying too hard). i hope you'll make a followup on it once it gets completed or at any point further down the line. i just hope it really does have a proper, deep underlying story instead of it being made solely to be creepy/weird. i do like how you share all sorts of theories with us, since i myself come up with a lot of theories about stuff like this but have nobody to share them with.

[@XalalauXubilozo]

lmao my GMod map appeared in a Minecraft ARG! It's a happy day.

[@solardragonmarnyr6845]

One thing I really appreciate is how kind you are about this ARG. I see so many other youtubers going off about how something is "too confusing" or "poorly made" and then ragging and ragging on (usually novice) creators. The fact that you treated this like any other piece of art (people tend to forget that ARGs take effort to make haha) was really wonderful, and I appreciate how you accepted the ARG just as it is!

[@stressedskeleton6838]

I definitely do rag on some of the things I talk about. But I try to keep a rule for myself where if there is something I dislike or thing like that, I have to offer a solution or a work around so that the creator can improve. As someone who has tried to develop many things, if someone absolutely hated anything I made I would prefer if they give me valid criticism and offer a solution to any of the problems. Sometimes criticism isn’t always good, so I try to keep that rule for myself, I think that other creators should do it too so that we wouldn’t have so many artists and developers who give up when they could possibly get valid criticism and improve

I think we all noticed the continuous pattern of smiles. Such as the smiling sun, the text smiles on the signs and single player menu, the smiling figures, the smiley face, it’s a pattern. It’s most likely what this entire thing is based around. I believe the figures could be called something like “ Smiles “ or, possibly, Fantoms. As for the different players, we know there’s multiple with the prefix “ Player “ and we see mostly Player30s perspective. Maybe, just maybe, the Players used to be a group or whatever that shared names or sorts. And the ‘Smiles’ could be lost ‘Players’ And, in the book, it says ‘Player10’ died. So they must’ve become a Smiles. However, the repeated signals of someone targeting Player30, Possibly to make them a Smiles. It also says Player157 is aggressive, which could mean they are ‘transforming’ into a Smiles. Also, what if Sandcool is possibly Player20, who had upgrade their name after the incident of Player10, and the aggressiveness of Player157, and the targeting on Player30, so they tried to get away as they noticed a pattern of those with the name ‘Player’ getting attacked. What if the black figure was Player157, yet they hadn’t filled transformed with the smile, considering in the video of the Smiles we see them having a black skin with a white face. What do y’all think? It’s just my little theory’s on the ARG, since the lore is confusing and very interesting to look into.

[@ImThylacine]

For the record, an ARG is an “alternate reality game”, an experience where aspects of a fictional world such as social media accounts, news reports, or even irl gatherings, are created on real platforms by people pretending to inhabit that fictional world. Then, there’s usually some aspect of audience interactivity, often that audience members can dig up secret codes to learn more about the fictional world, which is what makes it a game.

[@marchtimed]
