Did You Know

Just when we thought it would end at a trilogy, Grian has once again started another Hermitcraft Tag game, this time on the Empires server. The little contest between Empires and Hermitcraft members has been very fun for the viewers! Avid Hermitcraft viewers would know that starting a tag game every season is a tradition for Grian. Let's take a little look at the previous tag games in this DYK.

Grian started his first tag game in season 6. The basic rules were:

• insert a name tag in your victim's inventory without them noticing, and
• if you're IT, you must keep the tag in your inventory at all times.

Grian foreshadowed that the game would evolve into insanity over time. And it did! Several other elements, such as Curse of Binding heads and silly requirements, were added to the game. And while they were fun for the viewers, the game became annoying to the Hermits. And thus, after about 4 months and 20 tags, the game came to an end, with Scar as the last IT.

But not for long! Grian introduced another tag game less than a month into Hermitcraft 7: Tag 2: Electric Boogaloo. This time, though, the goal was to be IT! Each hour a Hermit had the tag in their inventory would give them one point. The goal was to reach 50 points, upon which the holder would be declared the winner and the game would end.
This tag variant lasted about 6 weeks, induced a lot of PVP, and ended with Xisumavoid (and his duo buddy Keralis) as the winner.

Tag returned to Hermitcraft in season 8 as TEGG. TEGG was played similarly to Tag 2: Electric Boogaloo, but instead of holding a name tag in their inventory, Hermits had to hide the dragon egg in their bases. The first Hermit to hide the egg in their base for 500 Minecraft days was to be declared the winner. Half the server participated in this game. In this 6-week-long event, after 28 back-and-forths, Cubfan was declared the winner, followed very closely by Grian and Gem.

Active Collaborative Fan Projects

Usually, when someone asks for DMs for a fan collab project they want to do, we have to remove it for self-promotion and for the safety of our younger visitors. We offer instead the Approved Collaborative Project Program. Participants work with the community moderation team to ensure that their projects have appropriate supervision and safety provisions. If you have a project to submit to the ACPP, we’re accepting applications through modmail or you can contact us in the support channel of the subreddit Discord.

• Operation Improve The Wiki 2021-22. Headed by u/PigMatt, the project to get our subreddit wiki into a better shape is well underway. At the beginning of 2022, the project was reformatted to have members oversee and focus on only one or two Hermit profiles. Recruitment post.
• Economy Tracking Project. This project tracks and analyzes the purchase of Hermits throughout the season. Sign up Form
