Minecraft Drama Generator

The Minecraft Drama Generator is a collection of software originally created by asie, but forked by many other coders. It will automatically generate a rumor based on a list of mod authors and other aspects, to parody various conflicts that have occurred in the modded Minecraft community.

Asie
Asie's version was the original version. It was shut down sometime in September 2014, and replaced by a message stating that it has been bought by Microsoft– a joke based on Microsoft's purchase of Mojang. It had been used over 800 thousand times. It made a brief return at BetterThanMinecon 2015, running through an OpenComputers setup.

Thog92
Thog92 forked asie's version to extend the characters and situations. Thog92 discontinued their version, stating a similar message about being bought by Microsoft. However, it was recontinued, with rumors not being generated per request, but by being posting the Twitter bot "@DramaMinecraft" each hour.

Website
SatanicSanta recreated asie's version in Ruby, mostly to experiment with creating Ruby on Rails applications, but also to have a web version of the application that actually generates dramatic situations. Ironically, the application ended up being written using Sinatra instead of Rails.

Mod
SatanicSanta also recreated Mr_okushama's modded version using the Ruby Edition of the generator. It functions identically to Mr_okushama's mod, except that its code is less complicated, and it uses the raw version of the web application, improving performance.

Mr_okushama
Mr_okushama created a special version of the Minecraft Drama Generator to work as a Minecraft mod, for 1.6.4 and 1.7.2. It modifies normal Minecraft's splashes to be replaced with the more dramatic announcements.

A 1.7.10 version of the mod has been created, but it is unknown where to acquire it.

Alfred
Alfred is an IRC bot made for the official FTB IRC channel, also used in many other Minecraft related IRC channels on EsperNet. It includes an IRC command, `drama (~drama in developer mode), which obtains a random dramatic event from the Minecraft Drama Generator: Ruby Edition. Prior to the release of this drama generator, it used asie's official version. The switch was made through a pull request by the developer of the Ruby edition, due to asie's version being taken down.
