Team Dog: Hypermine Patrons UHC S1 Episode 7

  • Published on

The Hypermine Patrons UHC pairs Hypermine members with their patrons, or with fellow patrons of the same creator, and only one pair can win. Pairs are allowed to work together along the way. The title card reads "Hypermine Patrons UHC Season 1, Episode 7," and the first thing in chat is the end-of-day message for day 6: ten players remaining, BasketMC and johnfal_92 among them.

Digging toward Scoti

Basket and johnfal_92 are still underground, and this time they are digging toward the other orange pair, Scoti_Garbidis and JJBonsig. There is no team chat between the two pairs, so everything goes by whisper. Scoti_Garbidis writes "be there soon," then "no diamonds whole time," then asks the real question: "we are cool until other teams are dead?" Basket whispers back, "yeah, bffs." On the call it gets summed up as a ceasefire until the other teams are gone, with nobody sure how the two orange pairs would settle it after that.

The border starts moving again too: "Soul Crusher is coming!"

Whisper tag

Meeting up turns out to be the hard part. Scoti_Garbidis whispers "we were spotted," and later "tunneling towards spawn." Basket's side of the conversation tells the story: "you staying put?", "you want enchanting?", "stop moving :)", and finally, in capitals, "WHERE YOU AT?" Someone on the call calls the whole messaging setup stupid.

Elsewhere in chat, Kasper_ turns up with Geckor and N7DeltaForce: "i bring gifts," then "i survived :D." Geckor asks Kasper_ "kaspy?" and Kasper_ reports "Rock climbing like a champ :D."

Four in one room

Eventually the two pairs find each other underground and clear out a room. Scoti_Garbidis whispers "we need magic," and Basket opens up an enchanting table. Scoti_Garbidis asks about bows ("bows?"), Basket answers "bowless," and Scoti_Garbidis still needs five more levels. The room is also full of tame wolves. Scoti_Garbidis whispers "#TeamDog," and Basket sends back "#TeamDog!"

The wolf plan

With the four of them together, the wolves become the plan. On the call, a voice says "they are gathering up the dozen or so wolves," and the target is "the pillow fort." The other warning on the call is simple: don't hit the wolves.

JJBonsig heads into a narrow tunnel, and the wolves come along.

Ten left

The group works its way up the tunnel, a torch in hand. On the call, someone notes that the wolves are struggling to keep up and will probably give them away, and a voice adds, "The wolves have seen a skeleton." That is where the episode stops. Chat posts "End of day 7. Players remaining:" with the same ten names as the day before, so nobody went out in this episode. Basket, johnfal_92, Scoti_Garbidis and JJBonsig are all still in the match.
