Thanks for watching, gang! Sorry for the rant at the end, I was having too much fun with it so I left it in :B Wish me luck as I descend into the madness trying to put together a Civil War Retrospective.

[@yourdreams2440]

Season 6 is by far the best season, so much life was brought back to hermitcraft. Before then is was mostly making really big farms and shops. Honestly inviting Grian was the best decision they ever made, hes always getting involved in some shenanigans and he loves dragging everyone else into it.

[@goldstargloww]

and i guess ill have to take your word for that because i never watched season 5 at all. or any other season before. welp.

[@Catani99]

Grian helped False because after winning the head hunt he gave her a “Grian will help you with any prank” paper.

[@Oxymoron32GB]

Oh man! One of the reasons I adore the Prank/Civil War so much is how naturally it unfolded. No grand overarching plan. The Hermits just kinda rolled with the punches.

[@Smitology]

Yes. I feel like the hermits went into the mycelium war with the knowledge it would become an actual war, but this one naturally unfolded and nobody realised what it would escalate into until it was too late

[@thetntsheep4075]

3:39 Calling in Grian for his redstone exper... AHAAHAHAHAHHHAAHAHAHAAA

[@Gorilla_Chaos]

Even if Iskall was given the diorite. He wasn’t told “Hey! Prank someone with this!” So you’re correct. Even if he got this from a prank, it doesn’t matter.

[@Coletje]

I agree that all the hermits are liable in starting it, but if I had to pick one action that started the chain, in my opinion it was Cleo that started the whole thing. Iskall's chicken was still a regular prank, he took credit for it, and it was a prank like any other. However by changing the sign Cleo diverted attention and pulled multiple people into the fray and it escalated from there. Iskall took a page out of HER book by changing the signs of the ghost ship to get Grian involved in that, but Cleo started it fabulously by 'making it better'. In my opinion the winner of the Civil War is Cleo, not because she was part of the winning team but because a simple thing as changing a sign without a doubt 'made it better'.

[@NexikCube]

So basically. Hermit craft civil war started because Cleo changed a sign?

[@simple7708]

That is debatable as Iskall could have been pranked of the signes wasnt swapped

[@Zendae._]

No Its because someone framed ren and gave grian a chess

[@MirrorHall_Clay]

@@Zendae._ the framing was cleo changing the sign...

[@MultiCycloneZ]

No. It all started because Mumbo was AFK

[@alessandrofarris8998]

So... when anything happens in the Hermitcraft server, it's always probably Architech's members messing around...?

[@meteorstarthearcher5350]

i mean that's how the build war started

Actively, it's either Iskall or Grian. Passively, it's Mumbo, lagging the server with his farms.

[@lickilicky64]

imo ZombieCleo started it by changing the sign to blame RenDog.

[@Aufeii]

In the direct chain of events it is first started when iskall and grian prank mumbo by surrounding him in obsidian. In retaliation mumbo then gives iskal a shit ton of diorite and giant chicken with poop happens. This is arguably correct. However cleo changing the sign is what makes this entire thing escalate and dragging in lots of other people, otherwise I suspect false would just retaliate against iskall and then everything would settle down. This is also arguably correct

So what I'm getting out of this is: Iskall built a chicken in a Grian costume on Falses base, Cleo changed the name on the sign to say it was ReN, False teamed up with Grian because they were both basically pranked, so they built a deadly roller coaster which killed ReN, leading him into getting stock exchange bois to build a ghost boat at Cleo's base after finding out it was her fault for changing the sign, and then Iskall changed the signs to say Grian and put the book in HIS base before Cleo got online, making Grian die so he got Tango to team with him and rob the stock exchange, so they made Tangos store sell deadly firecrackers and kidnapping Sally (and making her die), Cleo and Joe then made a very old school prank, and Grian decided to make it *EVIL* so Joe makes a traditional 2b2t lava-fall on Gians base and shows him his IOU but then they become friends, and after ReN and False realise the chicken was from Iskall they get the chicken poop and nether rack and make a solid cake on Iskalls sAnd castle and makes Grian pathetically blow it up, and then Iskall makes a creepy room making up teams in his basement and the Civil War starts. wow.

My favourite part of the war was how it seemed to get worse and worse and more and more confusing with each passing day to the point where I was just itching to see what happened next and literally was spending 4 hours plus watching EVERY Hermit's video to see how their perspective on the war was going. When the teams were formed I genuinely only knew that Tango, Grian, Mumbo, Iskall and Stress would be one team and the other would be the stock exchange fellows and everyone else was seemingly split random because who even knows who goes where because what the heck is going on anymore and it was fantastic.

I would argue that Scar actually caused most of the chaos, because he stole the diamonds from the stock exchange prank and kept that info hidden, making it seem that Grian was the one that stole them. And Grian for messing with Doc's Bush + his involvement in the majority of the pranks.
