Alright, there was an article on Kotaku (Link) about something called Chain World, a interesting generational mod for Minecraft. Basic concept is a map is started, one person plays until they die and then they pass on the level do the next person. The map is deleted from their system and stored on a USB thumbdrive along with the modified game files. You only play it once before passing it. Chances are you'd never see it again after you pass it on and never see what becomes of your projects and plans.
The idea intrigued me so I thought about how to set up something similar for Libarc. Basically I would start a fresh level and play it until I die. Then I would zip up the world folder and either email it or send a PM with a link for it to another player and they'd DL it, play it, die, zip it and pass it on, all of us deleting the level after we've passed it on. It would be passed back and forth with nobody but the current player knowing exactly who has the file and the person who passed it to them.
So let me know if anyone might be interested in it just to see how the world changes with every player's influence.

Well...it happened.
i obtained the Chain World 2 days ago...going by the game rules, I will say nothing about what occured in the game, other than it ended in the only way it could...
in my Death.
May the next participant have a impact on the gameworld.
I'll be sending out the file soon

I, too, have met sudden demise in the Chain World. I'll send it on to the next person later tonight.
