Beginning of Blog Date

The beginning of this blog will be expected to be tomorrow since it is rather late today and I plan on doing something else until then.

About: Additioal Information

As stated in the information menu when you first come to the welcome page and things I haven't stated in there, the reason why I initially began this blog about "one" of my adventures in Minecraft in a survival scenario is because my friend and server host of a "private" Tunngle server "tom_mai78101," suggested that I start this blog similar to how PC Gamers created “The Minecraft Experiment" by Tom Francis.
The map that I chose to play on was inspired by the "Yogcast" hosted on their username "BlueXephos" and further made by the "Survival Island" map maker "Ashien."
 However, I hope that this blog may someday become a hobby for me or something similar in the genre or style later on when this blog fully develops, possibly becoming truly bigger than I could ever imagine, as shown by the rules I personally set for myself, I will be writing three entries worth of in game days every three days.
I have also copied the SAME world for personal use, but with possible different endings that I might take screenshots of for each day but without as must detail compared to my official one since they will only be the same in the beginning.
