Limited Life #2: TNT Building

Limited Life is an odd mix of a Social and PvP Minecraft game started by Grian. Players are thrown into a tiny world with almost no rules, except survive as long as possible.
Green = 16+ Hours
Yellow = 8+ Hours
Red = 0+ Hours
Death = Lose 1 Hour
Kill = Gain 30 Minutes
Boogeyman Death/Kill = Rates Double
Red Players are given the goal of killing all the other players in the game. Yellow players can kill all green player. Each episode Boogeymen are chosen in secret and randomly to kill another player. If they fail to do so, they will lose all except 1 of their lives in the next episode.

[@aidanlanz3114]

*New Theory:* Bdubs felt bad for killing Skizz last session, but it's not Bdub's style to apologize, so he talked up being able to beat Skizz in a fight just so a fight would be arranged and Skizz could kill him. During the fight, Bdubs was hesitant to attack and only struck the first blow after Skizz was also hesitant, but then basically let Skizz kill him. Letting Skizz kill him would give Skizz 30 min and remove an hour from him, which partially makes up for the boogey kill last session. Overall, Bdubs keeps his reputation and gets to make ammends with his friend while making minimal sacrifice and generating lots of entertainment for the rest of the server. An impressive feat of social engineering. 🤯😲

[@dee2007]

Bdubs is a bit of a genius 😉

[@lolickypeepee23xdd6]

[@theodoreovaska597]

I love all these life series. They make me nostalgic for older Minecraft because they're all in the short term so nobody is building megabases, everybody travels by foot, and people don't have unlimited access to all resources and gear.

[@michaelcherokee8906]

Its actually really interesting watching so many of the Hermits, who are used to being limited by basically nothing but how much time theyre willing to put into something, suddenly having no elytra, scarce amounts of food, sub-par arms and armour and a set time limit. Those constraints cause players to behave completely differently than they do in Hermitcraft.

[@dimitrikemitsky]

Yeah, Grian (who runs the series) did that on purpose, and there are rules like only lvl 1 enchantments on armor, no God apples, etc.

3 minutes in and this is already a great video 😂 the making of a meeting table (with etho giving himself the big chair at the head of the table of course), etho saying they need to get to the mansion quickly, and then carefully placing a stair for every single block he went up 😂 the return of ladders, the immediate bailing of the mansion plan, and then the quick cut back to them all just sitting at the meeting table. Looking forward to this one already!

[@alyssa09485]

The cut from everybody screaming in the mansion back to the table was HILARIOUS "This went poorly!!! Yeah- alright, so um anyways" It's like the scene at mansion was just a flashback and they all snapped out of it 😂😂

Ironically, one of the best drops of this mob farm will probably end up being the arrows. Usually you just have infinity enchanted bows, but with xp hard to get and no villager trading, having a few stacks of arrows could change a battle.

[@hazta99]

Etho, if possible you could make the mob farm hoppers look as though they're going to feed into one chest(just having the chest at hopper hight would work) but make them go down to a secret other chest. Fill the dummy chest with some mob drops, and then if someone comes by to raid it they will not get the main stash Alternatively having an item sorter to pull out the gunpowder would be pretty cool
