Featured Prank #2: Doc's Demise
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.
