Limited Life #1: Can't Keep Cows

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.

Giving Boogies a bonus as well as a penalty is really changing the strategy. It’s given Bdubs Scott and Martin bonus time advantages from day 1. It will be harder to complete in future episodes when people have more diamond armour.

Etho puffer fishing the bogey man is one of the reasons people fear and look at Etho with awe.

[@BlahCraft1]

Something I love in the Life series is the new and old faces. Etho is interacting with some people he's known for over a decade, like Bdubs, and knows all the right levers to pull to tease him, as well as interacting with people he's never met before, like Joel. In some of the of the Life series Etho took a more conservative approach, basing with those he really knew. Double life was a real treat, as it forced him out of his comfort zone by being with Joel, as we got to see those two interact. We'll see what path he takes this series.

[@allenbuddy3101]

The comedy potential for Joel and Etho to be bitter exes this series is truly unlimited. It’s also heightened by jimmy still being friendly to tango despite being a bad boy now. Ties vs bad boys will be fun to watch play out
