No Don't Actually Murder Me In The Comments For How Wrong Or Untrue Or Ooc This Theory Is - Tumblr Posts
Theory Time!
Okay! Just to preference this theory, I don't actually think it's true. It would just be rrrreeeeaaally funny if it were.
So you know the trend where future hermits are kind of invited in by existing hermits before making their debut in the next season? Like how Tango helped Mumbo with an iron farm in season 2 or Pearl helped Grian with his mansion in season 7. Lil sneak peaks for the audience, if you will.
Well, what recent event occured where several minecrafters were invited onto the server? What dungeon crawling card collecting game do we know of that didn't just bring the server together, but brought several YouTubers outside of HermitCraft in on the fun as well?
See what I'm getting at?
"But wait!" You say. "That included six players! And the poster only showed us two shadow figures. That math just doesn't add up."
And okay, yes. I'm bad at math, I can admit that (no need to point it out so blatantly, sheesh). But what if those six players were competing for more than just frost emeralds and crowns? What if they were competing for.... The whitelist!
Eh? Eh?
This is where my theory gets funny, and ridiculous too. Imagine a HermitCraft meeting. Xisuma asks if anyone has some ideas of who should join next season. And everyone chimes in. They all have a suggestion. All 24 of them (Xisuma as head of HermitCraft acts as judge so he's supposed to be neutral, and TFC did also vote, but no one can see ghosts through discord).
"This is great and all," Xisuma says. "I'm really proud you've all made so many friends, but that's just too many to add to one season. Let's trim it down, shall we?"
And they do. To six mcyters. But it's still too much. And now everyone is at a stalemate. Thus the Great HermitCraft Meeting Debate of 2023 begins.
The debaters go round and round. Great points are made, passionate speeches, a comprehensive presentation with bars and graphs and statistics. Even some advertisements with the popular icon Scar advocating for several candidates all in separate videos. But it remains a stalemate.
Finally, when all hope is lost, a suggestion is made. Why not make them compete? Everyone loves Decked Out 2, it's been all most of them can think of for the past few months (years of we're talking about the dungeon master himself). What if all six candidates play the game and whoever wins joins HermitCraft next season. The Hermits all love this idea. Tango agrees to rent out his dungeon, on the stipulation that non of the candidates know what they are competing for. After all, Decked Out is supposed to be fun and he'd hate for his friends experience of his game to be overshadowed by real world stakes and stress.
Several more rules are added to keep things fair (though Doc grumbles that it doesn't matter how many rules you put down when certain tricksters excell at finding loop holes so is this really fair? Yes yes it is, Grian and Scar say at the same time) and a betting pool is placed before things are set in motion and this the great Decked Out 2 Special Event began.
This is all definitely real and not made up fun for the funsies so definitely take this with your utmost serious serious face. Thank you for listening to my Ted talk.
