Season: 6

Prankster(s): Grian

Victim(s): DocM77 (and the viewers of Hermitcraft)

As the game of Demise began to draw to a close, only two contestants remained standing: Doc and Iskall. Grian, having an existing alliance with Iskall, decided to kill Doc by spawn-trapping him. He scoped out where Doc logged out of the server, encased the area in obsidian, and filled it in with lava.

Doc, having watched Grian's episode, and of course being bombarded by tweets and comments warning him of the trap, refused to take this sitting down. He loaded a test world wherein he recreated the circumstances under which he would log on, including the exact items in their exact placements in his inventory (which luckily included a Fire Resistance potion), and practiced the rapid actions he would need to take in order to escape the trap with his life. However, once he actually logged on to the Hermitcraft server, he was met not with lava, but with an instantaneous explosive death.

Grian, as it turned out, had ended his episode, but had then gone on to modify the trap entirely, changing it instead to tripwires that would trigger TNT minecarts. He did not explain this until his next episode, after Doc had already perished.

As I alluded to in an earlier post, part of why I ran this bracket in the first place was to find and share fun content from Hermits or seasons that me and others may not have seen before, and that's exactly what I'd love to keep on doing! Hence, I've revamped the form used for nominations, and have re-opened responses! If you have any favorite pranks that weren't on the bracket that you'd like to see featured on the blog, feel free to submit them!
