:::::: Well, the way I took it, [[The Master#Nemesis of the Third Doctor|the Master]] was, I suppose, trying to lure [[Twelfth Doctor|the Doctor]] into the room so that he'd fall into the [[End portal]] and, in a sense, "''be out of his [[hair]]''". The pressure plates are not connected to the portal, but it's very possible the the Master, well... ''walked around it''. With the Doctors teaming up to [[kill]] [[Ender Dragon|a living creature]], various valid stories have previously featured the Doctor in a similar role (notably, ''[[Master of Spiders (comic story)|Master of Spiders]]'', where [[Second Doctor|the Doctor]] says "[[die]], hideous [[creature]], die!"). The part with the [[Ice Warriors]] and [[Daleks]] could well be taken as a "second story" being told within the confines of one [[webcast]], and the Ice Warriors' role could certainly be taken as a "[[Wikipedia:Cameo appearance|cameo appearance]]". It's also possible that [[Amy Pond|Amy]] and [[Rory Williams|Rory]] had, at some point prior, met the Twelfth Doctor, or heard of him, whether from [[Clara Oswald|Clara]] of otherwise (there's probably stories featuring 12 alongside Amy and Rory in some way, regardless).

But this account of what the Master is doing makes absolutely no sense, again because ''neither the Doctor nor the Master ever see each other''. I'm not sure what this "walking around it" business is, but the floor around the door the Master goes through is not the same as the floor around the door Twelve walks through. They're just completely different doors and we have no idea how they're supposed to be related except that there's nether brick. As for the Dragon issue, well, you rather took my joking comment too seriously there, hence the ":>". The idea that there's a coherent story being told at all is suspect, let alone that there's two. You seem to have focused on the fact that there are Ice Warriors and Daleks as my objection and these facts are irrelevant to the larger plot. I mean, this can be a consideration, but the issue I have is that we're thrown head first into ''scenes'' containing them without any explanation from the narrative and then removed from those scenes just as fast. Indeed, you don't even try to explain this. | |||
:'''In a later scene''', the Twelfth Doctor sneaks in front of [[Ice Warrior 1 (Doctor Who Comes to MINECRAFT!)|3]] [[Ice Warrior 2 (Doctor Who Comes to MINECRAFT!)|Ice]] [[Ice Warrior 3 (Doctor Who Comes to MINECRAFT!)|Warriors]] and approaches [[Field (Doctor Who Comes to MINECRAFT!)|a field]] [Emphasis my own] [Also note that the idea that Twelve is approaching a field is present nowhere in the video - you simply infer it from the fact that the next scene places him in a field] | |||
Again, this attempt to divine a narrative is just one big bag of guesswork. As for authorial intent, I will once again reiterate that the first sentence of the description is | |||
: We are very excited to announce that Doctor Who will be coming to Minecraft officially! | |||
I think it's fairly clear that ''prima facie'' the story should be regarded as invalid and perhaps when the forums come back up we can discuss it then, adding it to [[User:Najawin/Sandbox 5| The List]] or something until then. | |||
