    That’s me! I’m a Creative mode player at heart, but Hardcore mode won’t be too different, right? It’s like Creative mode, just without having immediate access to all the resources. And with the added obstacle of taking heaps of damage from hostile mobs. And needing to keep an eye on the hunger bar. Wait, I’m starting to think this was a bad idea…

    Let me hear you make some noise for the notoriously over-confident and obsessively torch-placing... Linnferno! A survival player fueled by my greatest weakness strength: being such a sore loser. Have I played Hardcore before? Nope. Do I think I’ll do great? Of course. There is no other option if I ever want to face the other writers again. But don’t fret, because I’ve come prepared. I'm well versed in the many silly ways to respawn in Minecraft! My strategy is therefore to use lots of torches and...to not die. If that doesn’t work, I’ll move on to sabotage. But keep that last bit between us, will you?

    Survival rating: 1.5 (claims 10) 

     

    Emerging from the misshapen dirt house, it’s Cristina! Also known as The Winner of All Games amongst her team of writers. Equally driven by pettiness and spite, she claims she will do everything in her power to win this challenge because of that one time nobody complimented her new Enderman slippers. Despite having no Hardcore mode experience, she claims she is “Hardcore enough” because she used to wear studded belts.

    I haven't really played much Minecraft before agreeing to this challenge. But I consider myself a pragmatic, creative, and solution-oriented kind of fella, and Minecraft is all about that. So, all I have to do to nail this challenge is to be pragmatic, creative, and find solutions! And survive dangerous stuff, mine plenty, and kill friendly mobs so I can build and craft whatever I need. And that’s it! 

    Cristina succeeded in crafting a blue bundle!
