    I’d argue that the civil war began with the fork of friendship, since the following obsidian pranks are the reason Iskall had so much spare diorite

  • @Jaggerto
    @Jaggerto 2 года назад +388

    It all started when Mumbo lost his trident.
    Then Grian with Iskall encased Mumbo in obsidian leaving a chest with a trident to replace the lost one.
    Mumbo is thankful and gave Grian a shulkerbox with obsidian on top with the rule that he cannot break the obsidian with a pickaxe. Grian just used a piston.
    Mumbo learned from his mistake and gave Iskall an encased gift with diorite inside.
    Iskall used the diorite to prank False because of her victory during the Head Hunt.
    Then Cleo found the build and blah blah blah.

    • @another_jt
      @another_jt 2 года назад +16

      Except there is no evidence that the diorite that Iskall used came from Mumbo. Iskall found a chest of diorite in his base with a sign that said "diorite for iskall" but he didn't know who left it. Then he found 3 more shulkers and another chest, also without knowing who left them. And, as far as I can tell, no other Hermit has claimed any credit for leaving that diorite there.

    • @Smitology
      @Smitology 2 года назад +12

      I personally think that the original thing was that False won the head game at Iskall's expense, the obsidian prank was a separate prank storyline, as the only link was the chest of diorite. But the head game was the motivation, which I think is more important.

    It's basically a network or tree of pranks in the S6 civil war.
    False steals Iskall's Grian heads and wins the game after a recount
    --> Iskall builds a "Chicken in a Grian costume" above False's base
    --> --> Cleo changes the sign to accuse Ren instead
    --> --> --> False pranks Ren with Grian's help due to the "Grian will help you with any prank" coupon
    --> --> --> Ren pranks Cleo for changing the sign along with Doc and Impulse
    --> --> --> --> Iskall adds a sign in Grian's base luring him to Ren's trap
    --> --> --> --> --> Grian falls for it and gets Doc and Ren back by stealing from the stock exchange with Tango. Tango disguises as False and Grian disguises as Mumbo who is disguising as Grian.
    --> --> --> --> --> --> Doc, angry at Tango and Grian "touching his bush", gets Xisuma and Wels to sabotage Tango's elytra rockets and kidnap Poultry Man's chicken. This is the most confusing part as Poultry Man has no relation with Grian whatsoever.
    --> --> --> --> --> --> --> Iskall and Stress attempt to rescue Poultry Man's chicken Sally, but she sadly dies.
    --> --> --> --> Cleo, Joe and Jevin prank Impulse by creating a "don't kill people" sequence of rooms
    --> --> --> --> --> Grian makes it ironically lethal by adding lava
    --> --> --> --> --> --> Joe gets Grian back for ruining the message of the prank by pouring lava over his base
    --> --> False and Ren prank Iskall by building a diorite cake above his sandcastle
    --> --> --> Iskall gets Grian's tnt services to blow up the cake (and his castle)

  • @Naricie
    @Naricie 2 года назад +95

    Actually, if you go even further back in the prank war, it was actually Iskall changing a sign at Cleo's ship that really set things off. He denied doing that the entire war but then after it was done, he showed a clip at the end of a video revealing that it was him changing the sign all along.

Between the accent and the admittedly strange names of the hermits, the results are hillarious. For example, "Iskall happens to have a lot of diorite, and we all know what happens with Iskall and diorite" becomes "is he'll have a lot of thyroid, and we all know what happens with israelian diorite".

      Actually, Grian is still making the war, but this time behind the curtains. He made sure that the only answer grumbot would give is King, Remove and Claim. He ser it up.
