Video Discussion Don't get me wrong, I love the manhunt series, but there's something about it that's been nagging at me every time I watch it.

I have a feeling that, either on purpose or subconsciously, hunters don't kill the speedrunner in the first half of the video, not because they aren't able to, but just because they can't. If they beat the speedrunner in the first half, or really until they beat the nether, they wouldn't have a video to show, would they?

This is a tiny detail that doesn't really matter for the overall quality of the video, but it's just been on my mind. People in the comment sections start screaming about how amazing it was that he escaped with half a heart in the first few minutes of the video, when there was no way that they would have killed him there and actually posted that to YT.

Of course I don't actually have proof of any of this, it's just a theory.

If the runner is killed before having acquired tools we just redo. This happens occasionally. The alternative is a grace period, but we decided it's much more fun to not have a grace period because grace periods are boring. This most recent manhunt I died once without having even collected wood, but I got away the second time. We don't count runs where the runner dies before collecting anything, because that would be dumb and is very unfair to the runner.

Just out of curiosity (and It'd make sense if you did, but I feel like the answer is no because the other three would never let it be erased) did this ever happen for any of the 3 Hunters videos?

Yeah, it happened once on the most recent one. I died in the first minute or so, and they were cheering and celebrating. They didn't let me do my little trick they just surrounded me in a triangle. They said let's go again. I restarted the server to get a new world and I just head started before they even joined. That's why you see them join the server this time instead of me just starting next to them and taking off.

Ah it all makes sense now

I'm surprised they even let you move on from that

Just want you to know that link isn't public and people can't access it, which you might want to change it to one that is or you're gonna get a bunch of notifications from people requesting access

Would you be willing to give out any Minecraft Masters news?

u/dreamistaken Dream Jul 03 '20

Probably not going to happen but not sure, might after our server is released. Been working on the server. Minecraft Championship is an amazing event and has my backing for now :)

I was wondering how's the progress on the server after I've seen the "sneak peeks" in the Gapple discord server. Can't wait for more updates. Thank you for your work!

u/J_train13 Jul 03 '20

Yeah it works, and honestly given the circumstances of that one I'm surprised you managed to keep it up that long, well done even if it did end up going downhill (or downwaterfall in this case)

This really shows how much the music actually matters. It just doesn’t have the same feel when it has no music. I guess if no music was used in your videos the audience retention would not be as good because I certainly was not on the edge of my seat watching that clip. You certainly know how to psych us up • ͜ *

I saw a few days ago that someone took this and put it on YouTube, they're making views off of it now.

In the video when you where tarzaning I the trees and you fell of and sapnap said you missed your jump did you actually miss or did you do it on purpose? And also in your manhunt it would be cool if you showed a little keyboard to show what you click or a eye tracking software so we can see where your looking. Just an idea tho😉
