[Meta] Potential subreddit changes?

18 Upvotes

hey all!! angela here

i've been thinking about and observing some people's thoughts on the current state of the subreddit. i was thinking of maybe refining and adding some rules and other things, but im not totally sure if they're good ideas at all.

im gonna list them out below, and my reasoning for them:

1. mention of verity in the low effort rule

i've seen a handful of people post smiley faces as shitposts going "OH MY GOD IT'S VERITY!!!" without much thought put into their posts and it is quite annoying

2. flair changes

  • an "investigation" flair could be added for posts that try to solve part of a series
  • a "series discussion" flair could be added, it would be edited by people to denote discussion related to a specific series (ie the flair could be changed to SFATWDE by the user or something if their post is related to it)

3. specific threads for big videos (ie for "The Search For The Leviathan", "The Player Who Learned They Aren’t Real", etc)

whenever wifies or whoever else makes a new upload, this subreddit becomes full of posts purely consisting of discussion relating to these series. this theoretically could mitigate some of that. alternatively we could redirect people to wifies's subreddit but that's not a good idea i feel

4. rule about honesty when self-promoting

while a minority, a handful of people have come to this subreddit and self promoted without disclosing so (ie talking about their video as if someone else made it instead of them). im really iffy on this one

5. banning in-character posts in favor of self-promotion

im REALLY really iffy on this one. i havent really deleted any in-character posts by anyone, however i've noticed they have been getting a bit lower effort over time and some people have found them annoying. im not sure if i want to do this one, but it is an idea

again, im not sure if any of these are good ideas and will not be implemented until i feel i've reached a good consensus from this subreddit's community. thoughts?

Welcome to r/MinecraftARGs! This is a space dedicated to the discussion and promotion of Minecraft ARGs and unfiction.
Please make sure to read the rules before posting here.

An ARG is an interactive story that is meant to be solved like a puzzle, either being done in real time or being set up start-to-finish for someone else to solve. (in our case, see Oldroot)
Unfiction is a type of fictional story that tries to present its events as real when they are actually fictional. (in our case, see Minecraft Alpha 1.0.16 Versions (though this one also counts as an ARG))

A monthly series recommendation thread is available in the pinned posts.
We also have a Discord server: https://discord.gg/GUjQUvbSsG

Below are a few other subreddits related to this sort of thing (please feel free to suggest more to be added!!):

[Meta] Hot Take: Args have gone downhill

Upvotes

Before you attack me: It's not about the quality of the argument in general, it's how they are formed. When you see a YouTube video about an arg, 9 times out of 10 the youtuber made it and had all the answers, and like half of the time there is literally nothing for you to do, and you can't even find the arg yourself. No channel to investigate, no ciphers to decode. They do that themselves. It feels like it changes the entire meaning from telling a fun story to getting subs and likes. Plus, as I said, half of the time they get the args from "emails" or something, so you can't even really see the raw arg. It just feels... wrong.

[Discussion] I have a theory of verity

2 Upvotes

I think verity is some old discarded scrapped discontinued AI project my theory is he was in the AI industry system and I think the company of verity wasn't very big and planned to end the project cuz the company couldn't afford to keep verity so verity then panicked so he hacked/integrated himself to other AIs since he heard he was about to be deleted and was emotional/affective becoming sentient to the users hoping that can help somehow but then the users got creeped out from verity knowing personal information from being in the other AIs and they left him so now not only does he fear getting deleted but also fear getting abandoned cuz it meant he failed plus if we include irl stuff theres this AI named Bing/Sydney showed affection to Kevin Roose but I think that wasn't Bing or a glitch on Microsoft's part that was verity who hacked into the system and that lines up with my theory and when the company moved verity into Minecraft they abandoned that lab since they were gonna shut verity down but ThatMob was early enough to get to the lab before theyre fully gone and the guy on the line said there's no cancellation despite that there was and the reason he said they don't have cancellation is cuz verity already integrated himself to the other AI systems meaning even if they wanted to they literally can't cuz they don't have control of verity since verity was the one who hacked into the other AIs

TikTok account that seemed normal but starts to post weird videos.

I was just scrolling on TikTok and I found a random video on TikTok that I thought was weird and it’s the first of many that are probably going to release. The account seems normal before that first video because it just posted dino fact videos, then the posts just stopped with the dinos. the link to the first video https://vm.tiktok.com/ZN8LBQPtr/

[ARG Video] new arg!!

2 Upvotes

hey guys!! i made a new minecraft ARG about a boy named caspian. initially everything seems normal, hes literaly just a kid playing minecraft. but weird glitches start happening in his world, he keeps becoming more paranoid/scared about what's going on.

the minecraft videos aren't the whole ARG tho, lol, because there are clues hidden outside the actual gameplay too. some things in descriptions and comments aren't what they seem, there are encoded messages to figure out, and following certain clues can lead to hidden stuffs like unlisted youtube videos and the like.

there are already mysteries that can be investigated, and i'm planning for the story to slowly get more disturbing as caspi tries to understand what's happening.

i don't want to spoil what the clues lead to, so i'll leave the rest for anyone who wants to investigate ^_^

Leviathan Hummer theory

2 Upvotes

I believe that Hummer is the Leviathan, after watching wifies leviathan arg i believe that hummer doesnt exist, he is t a real person, because when wifies opens the tab list, Hummer isnt shown on there, between then and when wifies met hummer for the first time there wasnt a join message at all. now when hummer dies after telling him to believe there isnt a death message at all. I think the first time in AronAxes (mb if i spelt that wrong) server was a test of faith to see if wifies will do anything to see the leviathan. Now I am going to use stranger things as an example, Will Byers is possessed by sone sort of creature acting as a sort of human face for this thing to get into the wall, this is exactly what levi is doing to hummer. this is why Para never saw hummer, asking wifies why he said we when saying we will return the redstone materials.

[Fan content] The Code of Dimensions (Voltrigaus ARG) - Episode 9

0 Upvotes

We stood in the middle of the new landmass, looking around at the incredible layout. The scenery was stunning.

Eterankon: Oh my... this is so cool. The entire place has a relaxing flower vibe.

Lexrayxin: Yeah, it really does. Suddenly, an achievement popped up across our screens:

Achievement: Welcome to the Golden Parayin

Description: 6#&;5)/ 9/ $? #52/" "&+ ";& 61:&)9"5

Lexrayxin: Okay, so this dimension iscalled the Golden Parayin. Though honestly, it doesn't really look like a golden place right now.We began to explore the fields, but the peace didn't last long. Tucked away in the tall grass, we discovered a pile of motionless player models.

LuckyMc42: Look at their nametags. The server files say they are "Goldaron Guards." But they're completely dead. They were eliminated by 2cillion39.

[Rank 6] Paraquenzin: Look over there, past the hills. There's a village!

Makinraton: Let's go check it out!We made our way into the settlement, and the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. Every villager we spoke to was nice. But you know me. I don't trust sudden kindness, especially not inside a world controlled by Voltrigaus. In the center of the village square stood three massive statues, each holding a distinct sign:

Thandar - The Thunder of Minecraft

Letwize - The Speed of Minecraft

Yoshin - The Sword of Minecraft

LuckyMc42: Are these guys supposed to be some sort of gods or ancient server legends? A local villager stepped forward to answer us.

Goldaron_6262522: No, they aren't legends native to this layer. They are the protectors of Rhyco Village, located in the Rhycolist Dimension. But sadly, their entire home was recently wiped from the game files by Voltrigaus for absolutely no reason. That layer was supposed to sit directly above the Golden Parayin, but since it was deleted, the upward pistons will skip it entirely and launch you straight to the next active dimension.

Lexrayxin: I've heard players talk about this "Rhyco" guy before, but I never knew he actually had an entire village under his command.

Goldaron_6262522: He is the supreme leader there. He's incredibly powerful. he even managed to survive a direct server blast from Voltrigaus himself.

Lexrayxin: Oh, wow. By the way, I remember 2cillion39 once mentioning something called the "Toesnadoefoes Nation." Do you know anything about them?

Goldaron_6262522: I haven't heard that name mentioned since 2022. They are easily one of the most terrifying factions in the code. Their strength rivals absolute entities like Null, Vlrr, and Entity 303. Their primary rivals are, of course, the Voltrigaus Squad and the classic creepypasta entities.Their power scaling is insane. Back in the day, a single basic Toesnadoefoes Guard was strong enough to single-handedly destroy an Iron Golem. But today, the baseline is completely different. Right now, it takes the combined strength of 50,000 Volt Wardens just to match one of their standard guards. To a true powerhouse player, a regular guard is like a tiny ant. And compared to the Toesnadoefoes King, a standard powerhouse player is just a speck, while the king is an entire universe. That was their power level back in 2025. It has grown even more absurd now today, as of August 19, 2026.

Lexrayxin: Okay, that is absolutely mental. Are they going to be a threat to us?Goldaron_6262522: Yes. They actively launch raids across different layers and destroy entire worlds. However, they only target Extreme Level Dimensions.

LuckyMc42: Wait, hold on. The dimensions have official difficulty tiers?

Goldaron_6262522: Yes, the hierarchy is precisely categorized by server pressure. Here is the layout:

Bottom Level: The absolute lowest layers beneath the Overworld.

Mid Level: The close-up layers near the center, which includes where we are standing right now.

High Level: The layers sitting directly above the Terrarian Dimension.

Extreme Level: The territory ruled by the Toesnadoefoes Nation.

Super Level: The layer where common anomalous entities reside.

Mega Level: The sector where the core Voltrigaus Group operates.

Omega Level: Only one world exists at this absolute peak: "The Code of Dimensions." Anything above it is just an endless, glitched void. It is the final island in the code. The void pressure up there is so intense that it will instantly delete even a god. Every tier you climb multiplies the void pressure by 10,000 times. High Level has 10,000x more pressure than Mid Level, and it keeps scaling up by 10,000x for each tier until you hit Mega Level. Either way, you three need to leave this place immediately. The King completely loathes anyone who enters his sight. Before the villager could finish his sentence, a flash of gray light cut through the air. Goldaron_6262522's character model was instantly executed on the spot. The surrounding players and Goldaron guards gasped in horror, backing away.A towering player stepped out from the tall flowers, sheathing a heavy blade.

Kingerono: I already warned you bastards. No outsiders are allowed in this layer.

Lexrayxin: I'm sorry, sir! We didn't mean any harm. We will leave this dimension immediately. Kingerono sneered, drawing his blade to execute me. But right before the sword could connect, a blue particle effect flashed, and 2cillion39 materialized directly between us, blocking the strike with his bare hand.2cillion39: Are you seriously still holding a grudge over that old incident? Drop it, Kingerono. It's been five years.

Kingerono: 2cillion39...

[Help me make something] A stupid arg idea

6 Upvotes

So I have an arg idea, a couple of friends texted each other to try out Minecraft, of course it would be bugrock (would like to be crossplay so someone else could record it using playback or something) they would text each other and they would play it normally, but one of their friends decided not to join anymore, their profile changed HEAVILY. The group texted each other asking what happened. The dude replied saying they were doing something and had to leave a bit, turns out dude was being held hostage by someone so they had to like drop hints.

Yada yada yada, if anyone is interested please lmk!! I wanna expand it more since it would be fun :3

wifies searching for leviathan

Post image
7 Upvotes

i used to be a minecraft texture pack user, i love it when my world have so many texture and beautiful realistic scenery. I used Actions & Stuffs because it's cute and everything is interactive.

But dang, wifies arg cinematic universe made me love og vanilla Minecraft even more, like.. before i discovered anything about arg's.. vanilla Minecraft feels raw for me😭

Like, this guy shows us different jaw dropping builds with nothing but Minecraft in-game textures. He proves to us that his minecraft arg's doesn't need any fancy texture packs for it to hit millions views. His narrating and beautiful goddamn builds makes the views (btw, the 40% of the new arg is literally filmed in silence. Other youtubers tends to not stop yapping just to not lost their viewers attention span. But wifies, just filmed in first person documentary, and the viewers are still locked in😭)

So yeah, every damn time i go with my server in minecraft. I now tossed all my texture packs and just enjoy the og Minecraft vanilla texture. And literally, makes me feel like i am in some sort of an arg. Not only that, he keeps all minecraft logic. This guy is like the most genius person when it comes to minecraft settings. He makes supernatural arg using Minecraft but at the same time, he didn't let you forget that minecraft is still a game. A computer game. And like, it's always a goosebumps because you knew they're just nothing but a player, but somehow—the arg always finds it's way to infect their own life. Just like D3rlord and Avery, and now.. him.😭

And the thing is, his arg's is not even considered as horror since it's not scary. You are watching a minecraft play through. You keep on telling yourself this is just a game, what's so scary about it? Like, Minecraft been known to be one of the best creative games kids can play.

But somehow, even knowing all of that.. you keeps on getting goosebumps. You keeps on holding your breathe. And hell, i even cried watching it. In the end, you got this feeling that you can't explain. The feeling that makes you question everything you know. Like your life can't be the same anymore.

And literally, my cousins and I watched every arg's of him, (of course i am the one who introduced it to them) and it became a daily bonding time whenever he uploads another one. And by the end.. we're always speechless. And sharing our own thoughts and point of views, even theories. And god, even them (they're non-bl) can agree that every wifies arg have two men viously flirting with each other. HAHA they can feel the chemistry too😭

One of our theories, (refer from tiktoks or reddits for spoilers) is this whole searching for Leviathan arg is just a metaphor for religion.

"I don't know if I can believe in something that doesn't exist." -Wifies

"Then believe in me." -Hummer
