The Incident and What it Means for You

By Virtual

News of The Incident has been making its rounds around the Hermitcraft server this week, and citizens have been left wondering what carnage will be wrought as a result. 

To those concerned about a second (third if you count the Mycelium resistance) civil war, rest easy. It is likely that the two perpetrators will be the only ones Doc targets. For those not affiliated with Grian or Scar, congratulations! You have free tickets to the show of a century. To those unlucky citizens affiliated with the troublemakers, it is likely The Horrors will be unrelenting. The last time Grian touched DocM77’s redstone, the Hermitcraft server experienced a civil war unlike any it had ever known. Since then, Doc has acquired new weaponry and game-breaking mechanics. The serverwide anvil launcher, goat mech, and living, breathing ender dragon have the potential to make any coming wars very bad for Grian and Scar specifically.

Sources from within the Perimeter say that Doc’s strategies will be psychological until he prepares his heavy weaponry for launch. Efforts currently seem to be focused on Grian, making his base a very dangerous place to be. The charged creeper launcher is once again an active threat, and citizens can expect everything to start breaking in ways that defy physics, reality, and all common sense. Those working for or living near the affected area may want to take shelter within Grumbot for the time being. Though Scarland is yet to be targeted, workers are already beginning to post evacuation routes and vacate the theme park, demonstrating a collective survival instinct far greater than that of their boss. This is an advisable course of action. 

All citizens will be watching the events following The Incident with rapt attention. Though the consequences coming towards Grian and Scar will be fun and games, citizens should still be on the lookout to keep themselves safe. To those citizens who want to avoid all possibility of being caught in the crossfire, the safest option will be to change your identity and begin working for Joe Hills.

Now onto other news below the cut!

From the Sidelines

By StarryFelix Scar, Grian, Bdubs and Doc affiliates+

The last week on the server was chaotic to say the least. With the recent happenings on the server, several of the affiliate guilds are either in shambles or laughing about the shenanigans of their employers. Bdubs’ guild is wondering if dearest Scar’s comment section will ever recover.

The Stress affiliates are happy that she has finally returned to the Hermitcraft server, and Iskall is welcomed back with massive warmth as well. Beside some of the chaos there are most definitely some good and heartwarming moments.

Now… Grian and Scar’s little accident, which I assume people have written about already, is making the citizens in Scarland question the extent of their safety. While they are celebrating all the beautiful new visitors throughout the park (courtesy of Cleo’s amazing armour stand work) and the rising of the absolutely stunning castle, the tensions are visible. 

After the intervention for Grian and the back of his base, the people in the area are questioning whether he will even get to finish it. The affiliates do not seem to be too concerned about their own safety, but this might be mainly because so many of them live underground, close to The Rift. Perhaps they’re more used to dangerous situations? The ever unexpectedly weird Grumbot might have influenced their way of looking at the world, and we may never know if this is the truth. This is, for the most part, speculation.

Generally, there still seems to be peace. The question is for how long because last time, “It all started when Grian touched my redstone,” so we don’t know what will happen. The citizens are following all of the events, the rise of tensions, the Tweets, and Youtube Comments of their affiliated Hermits on foot to partially ensure their own safety. 

On a happier note, the Beef affiliates are happy that there is finally a solid base instead of just the TCG area or the starter base. It has been both a busy and calm week, and it seems that soon there might be more interesting stuff happening to report about.

For now, it seems most citizens are waiting in anticipation for what might happen next. The speculations of war are ever more present than they usually are on the Hermitcraft server… many affairs and mishaps this week. 

I will be heading off and will be keeping an eye on how the citizens take all the sudden commotion that is going on. For now, this was From the Sidelines and I hope to see you in the next column!

Museum Opening!

By Ilea

This week on Hermitcraft we were able to witness an opening of a museum. Of course all of the artifacts in it were ethically sourced and through some serious convincing (and sneaking into it through the back door) we managed to prepare a short guide to it.

Starting with none other than the TCG cards, that have been taking the server by storm. The exhibit was of course donated by VintageBeef himself and we absolutely want to shine more light on it as the TCG tournament is coming to an end.

Then we can see quite a collection of artifacts that are connected to the King's Rules on the server, which includes things like the infamous "No No No No" disc and an invite to the party at which it was played. From the same collection we may find heads of both evil and good King Ren as well as multiple King's Banners and even a shield with it. Probably our favorite artifact from this collection is the "You speak when spoken to!" horn, that over the months has brought a lot of joy and earplugs to many of us.

In a carefully secured glass box we can see the "Begin?" button that opened the Rift and had us connect with the Empires. Right next to it positioned is "King Sausages Diamond of Peace" to remind us about our Empires friends. For now the button is unclickable and we can safely say that this is an actual Grianproof casing.

What is not Grianproofed are Mumbo's vaults and right next to the button we see the first vault key of the season. We are sure that he is not using it anymore, but if anyone would ever feel like trying to get into it, then copying this exhibit should work.

Right opposite we can see a mysterious creeper that had us run away scared not to break something, but then we read the label. As it turned out this was Scar's prized creeper costume that managed to scare the life out of many people. We are really glad that it is safe in the museum now and no longer in his hands.

Speaking of Scar, in this museum we can look at the Scarland VIP pass, which we all can only dream about. What lies close to it is a Zedvancement trophy that had us wondering about what it was for and an old stream day torch, that quite honestly is a blast from the past.

Upstairs we firstly can see the giant dragon head of a Dragonbro that was given to Cubfan by Bdubs. Through the great Hermit Vine we have managed to find out that it was a prize for Cub completing a quest and later used by him as his Royal Magician attire.

After that we are greeted with an array of heads, starting with the ultra rare Baldubs(Bald Bdubs) head from his head shop. Quite honestly upon seeing this we were too stunned to speak. Right next to it there is an awful lot of hair provided by a dwarven beard. We absolutely love the style of it, the braids on this thing are incredibly intricate, but we do not recommend making pictures with it.

Lastly there hangs a sad proof of how washed up our old, but still beloved Etho is. Once again we give our condolences to his pvp skill and wish him a swift recovery.

That is all of the exhibits that we managed to find, hopefully it will grow over the next months, and who knows, maybe we will have a chance to visit it again.

Lost and Found

By Virtual

The following items were collected from across the server over the past week. If you would like to report an item missing, or if you recognize any of the below items as your own, please contact us at lostandfound@thehermitnews.org* *not a real email address

Item 1: A green shulker box, found on top of Zedaph’s netherite beacon. Though Zedaph seemed reluctant to give up the box, one of his affiliates delivered it to the Overseer offices last week. When opened, the box contained twelve anvils, a pair of green leather trousers, and three goat horns, all renamed to some variation of DocM77’s username. The purpose of these items is unknown, and their existence raises some concerning implications. If this box belongs to you, collect it at the Overseer offices as soon as possible.

Item 2: A nether portal without corners, found in the lagoons below Scarland Castle. The nether portal was found completely submerged yet still functioning. The portal was originally suspected to belong to DocM77; However, the goat has denied responsibility for it. When swam through, the portal dropped citizens into a strange, dark corner of the nether disconnected from any visible nether hub, despite its proximity to Scar’s portal. If this anomaly belongs to you, consider relocating the portal or putting up a sign.

Item 3: An unusable ender pearl, found in Cub’s TCG arena. When thrown, this ender pearl will not teleport the player. Instead, it returns to the user’s inventory in the same hand it was thrown from, regardless if a player is already holding something different. The ender pearl also puts out a constant stream of End ambiance no matter what biome it is in. If this item belongs to you, pick it up before next Friday. Cub has plans to begin experimenting on it.

Ask the Seers

By Seers Jester, S, Vi, and Nes

Has your favourite little guy been put into a situation they can’t get out of? Do you have questions about how a mountain appeared on top of your house last night? Question no more, for The Seers are here to help! Questions can be submitted through the ask box and are collected throughout the week.

—————————————————

Dear Seers, Today, I was just doing my usual shift at Scarland, and then BOOM!! I got Hotguyed!! And also died!! This is a near daily occurrence. My back is killing me from all the repeated injuries. Send help/advice, please. I can’t keep doing this! - Porcupine of a Popcorn Vendor

While I'm aware of a pamphlet of advice produced by the associated Scarland staff, I presume you're needing more than that. While it's not exactly feasible to never be Hotguy'd again, there are some tricks that could make things easier for you.

Option number one, actually, is to complain to your boss. While OSHA doesn't really apply here vis-a-vis entitlement to a safe working environment, he'd probably be willing to move you to a position working indoors if this is really affecting you. I heard once that he was actually able to pull some strings and ask Hotguy himself to stop bothering a particular staff member after they mentioned all the sharpness arrows were, respawn or no, making their chronic back pain flare up really bad.

Another option, if you wouldn't like to talk to your boss about it (understandable), is to get your hands on a mascot suit. Hotguy has never shot someone in a Jellie costume (I suspect some sort of deal with Scar?) and you can use that to your advantage. I'm at least ninety percent sure all employees of Scarland are entitled to wear a Jellie fursuit if they can stand it in this weather, but policies could have changed, I don't know. Maybe enough merch would be close enough?

Final option - desperate option - is to try and wear camouflage with your environment. This means being out of uniform, but also not being an obvious target for aerial attacks (or at least less obvious than someone else). This might mean breaking dress code a bit, but… Well, if someone talks to you about it you get the opportunity to explain yourself and how the Hotguy attacks have been a genuine problem for you lately, which routes back to "complain to your boss" option, minus the part where you start the confrontation. If no one bothers you about being out of uniform/in a dyed-light-maroon uniform, you're now less of a target for random velocitay attacks.

Best of luck! If this advice can't help you avoid Hotguy attacks entirely, I hope it at least lessens them!

- The Seers

_______________________________

Dear Seers,  Back at it again, I used your advice on the shriekers! But I kept the TNT a bit, tested it out, and your advice worked! Now I have a tiny problem. I got a Warden chasing me around and I don't wanna kill him. I've grown attached to Bobby the Warden.. but he scares my cats and I don't have any place to keep him. Any suggestions? - Crazier Than The Beast Wranglers 

Hello, Crazier Than The Beast Wranglers!

So glad our previous advice helped. Hopefully the receiver of your prank appreciated it as much as you did!

As for Bobby, I suggest asking your local beast wrangler about appropriate care tips for a Warden of his size and age. You can typically find them in or around Decked Out 2! They can also provide you with advice on housing, or you can refer to how other citizens and Hermits are housing their Wardens - such as Scars pet Warden in the tower.

The cats are an entirely different issue. You could try desensitizing them to Bobby by having them in rooms next to one another, sort of like how you’d introduce a new cat by having the new one and one room and the old cat can smell them and get used to their scent before meeting them. 

Side note: keep Bobby away from fishing rods

- The Seers

Many of their properties are near campuses and job opportunities, so taking the time to explore your options can lead to a more fulfilling and well-rounded student life, as you would work and study at the same time. In turn, the cost of living will be much lower. It is worth bearing in mind that wages, as well as housing, are the two most significant parts included in budgets.

If you are working part-time and looking for affordable housing, be smart in choosing a place to live. The Best! However, the skills and experiences you have gained and which might be a part of your part-time jobs are as important as the money you earn. Therefore, start now, and one day you will thank yourself for the boldness you displayed while searching for your goals even in the face of all difficulties.

Remote Jobs that need no experience to start up in 2024

Ever feel like ditching the full-time job is impossible? Join the pursuit of freedom! We’ve all punched that time clock at some point, and there’s no shame in it. But, as we waltz into 2024, the question burning on everyone’s minds is this: Are there better, more flexible jobs out there for the taking? Yes! According to FlexJobs, they’ve rounded up the top 100 companies dishing out remote opportunities. Check a few from the full list:

Working Solutions

Liveops

CVS Health

Robert Half International

Williams-Sonoma

Thermo Fisher Scientific

ModSquad

BELAY

Cactus Communications

Transcom

Sutherland

BCD Travel

But, and it’s a big but, even these companies may demand experience. Whereas working solutions don’t. Another company named Zillow is ranked #87, Sadly they require a real estate license to be a virtual agent.

So, where does that leave the newbies starting from ground zero?

The emptiness of traditional careers

Let’s face it, it would leave you here.. Working jobs that can be picked up and done by mostly everyone, Only to be replaced by another person TWICE your age. So in a capitalist market, you need a valuable skill that can’t be taken from you. Like imagine you had to go back in time to the first job you’ve ever worked, would you’ve chosen differently?

I would have.

My first “job” was 12 and I was a caddy at an expensive golf course. Yeah for networking it’s great. But not for developing a long-term skill for myself. I didn’t have an interest in golf anyway. So every day working there I always felt like a void swallowed my heart. That feeling of constantly repeating the same task over and over.. To be rewarded with $40.

I should’ve started with selling a product. Then I would have had valuable experience, that’s useful for the rest of my life. Don’t you wish you could turn back time?

Imagine If I had invested in myself.

Establishing a Productive Remote Work Routine

Even with the blessing of a taste of what AI has offered us in the new year, transitioning from employee to independent is a change in work ethic. That comes with a cost. Having time to put your full focus into what needs to get done. Do you have a client who needs his website redeveloped? You can’t let yourself get distracted and waste time. As an entrepreneur losing time is an opportunity wasted to excel.

So you need to learn how to focus and this will surprise you. Having a habit of not having distractions when you wake up is a game changer. Not looking at your phone immediately and instead going to the bathroom and brushing your teeth, will build you into the habit of getting ready to work without having the urge to get a dopamine rush on the internet.

Another unexpected factor is our diets. Any sugar or carbohydrates you eat in the morning when you begin work will be using energy to digest your meal, leaving a huge portion of your energy not being productive.

Building a team that pushes to strive

In the end, without a doubt way to speed up results, is to have a team that chases the same goal. You can try walking the path alone but always know, Harley Finkelstein didn’t do it.. Without crafting a team.

What Is Affiliate Marketing - A Free Virtual Event For 2024

Affiliate marketing entails online publishers and content creators promoting products or services they believe would appeal to their audience and earning a commission upon each sale. It has quickly become one of the most prevalent digital revenue models. Pay-per-action compensation structures offer more complex rewards to affiliate marketers. In such arrangements, payment to an affiliate occurs whenever one of their referred users takes an action such as subscribing to a newsletter or downloading an app. What is affiliate marketing? Affiliate marketing is a digital sales model in which one party - typically an influencer - promotes products or services of another through their platform, blog, or other channels and earns a commission when someone purchases something through these links. Businesses typically provide these promoters with unique links called affiliate links which track when products are purchased before compensating promoters based on performance metrics like clicks and conversions. Affiliate marketing can often be carried out unattached, meaning an influencer doesn't personally endorse or have any association with the product they're promoting and selling to their audience. This usually involves running pay-per-click (PPC) campaigns on platforms like YouTube and Instagram that include an affiliate link to drive traffic and generate revenue. Affiliate marketing involving influencers is more authentic and builds trust among audiences, as they draw on firsthand experience to communicate the product value to followers. While this form of affiliate marketing requires additional time and effort, its long-term relationships with brands make the effort worthwhile. New trends in affiliate marketing center around leveraging social media influencers' rising popularity to craft engaging content and keep audiences engaged, such as by featuring affiliate links in creative ways such as shoppable videos on platforms like Instagram or YouTube. Fashion blogger Baileyjst tags clothing brand ScoopClothing in an Instagram Reel video and encourages her over 50,000+ followers to use her affiliate link to purchase pieces she likes from ScoopClothing using an Instagram Reel post; using this method Baileyjst prompts her 50K+ followers to purchase her favorite pieces using her affiliate link! Affiliate marketing trends include targeting niche markets with artificial intelligence to automate and optimize processes, freeing influencers and marketers up to focus on creating high-quality content while building meaningful relationships with their audience - key components for running an effective affiliate business. Unlock the secrets of this online revenue model Affiliate marketing provides businesses with an effective means of reaching a new target market, but requires significant time and effort in creating content that resonates with followers and prompts them to take action. Businesses that remain committed to this process while adapting to ever-evolving marketing trends will succeed. Building product review websites such as OutdoorGearLab can be one effective form of affiliate marketing, although alternative approaches exist such as featuring products within blogs or articles on related topics (for instance "best camping gear") and using multichannel or omnichannel techniques for some brands may prove more successful. There are various structures to affiliate payments, but pay-per-sale remains the most popular model among retailers and merchants alike. Affiliates earn a commission when consumers make a purchase using their unique link, making this the go-to model for many affiliates and large merchants alike. Pay per lead is another alternative compensation method available to affiliates, wherein they receive a commission each time someone subscribes to their newsletter or promotional offer. While this type of compensation tends to be less lucrative for affiliates, it could be an ideal fit if you're just getting started or have a smaller following. Another trend in affiliate marketing is live streaming video, which enables marketers to engage with their audiences and highlight products live. It can also serve as an excellent way to drive traffic and sales; influencer Baileyjst uses her Instagram Reel to tag ScoopClothing products while prompting her over 50,000+ followers to use her unique affiliate code for discounts on future purchases from ScoopClothing. AI-powered marketing Affiliate marketing is a revenue-sharing model in which affiliate marketers promote business products and services online in return for commission payments on each click or sale that results from their efforts, providing businesses with access to new audiences while simultaneously increasing sales. Affiliate marketing takes time and effort, which may make the process daunting for beginners. AI-powered marketing may assist by automating repetitive tasks and streamlining the process. AI can analyze data from various sources while its algorithms identify the ideal traffic sources for your business. AI tools can identify keywords and content most suitable to a business, optimizing it automatically for SEO purposes and producing customized reports based on its goals. They also make tracking performance and improving ROI easier. AI can assist in automating the content-creation process for affiliate websites or blogs, which will increase engagement, boost search engine ranking, and generate more conversions - saving both time and money while freeing you to focus on attracting new customers or strengthening brand recognition. There are various strategies for marketing affiliate products, but you should select one that suits your niche and target audience. For instance, creating a dedicated product review site or adding affiliate links into an existing website or blog are viable ways of doing this; or use social media channels such as Instagram to market them instead. Finally, paid advertising may also reach your desired demographics more effectively. Bursting into niches Finding a profitable affiliate marketing niche can help your business flourish. By narrowing in on one category of products or services, you can better connect with an interested audience and establish yourself as an authority in that field. For example, if outdoor gear is your passion and promotion is your aim, creating a dedicated product review website like OutdoorGearLab could be beneficial as one way of reaching new customers and spreading the word about what you offer is also available. Find Your Niche By: Establishing What Matters Most and Resonating with Consumers Looking out for trends emerging in your market can also help, using them to craft engaging content increases engagement rates and conversion rates resulting in higher engagement rates and conversion rates. Another key consideration in affiliate marketing is to know what kind of revenue streams you want. Some programs provide pay-per-sale commission, wherein when someone purchases through your link, a portion of that sale will go back to you as commission; other affiliate programs pay per lead generated - you get paid every time a lead is generated through them! Once you have identified a niche, the next step in affiliate marketing should be selecting the optimal platform and method. There are various techniques available such as social media, blogging, and video marketing which could work for your strategy - these may include social media ads, blogging posts, or video ads. By choosing something familiar such as blogging or video ads you will be better equipped to produce high-quality content that attracts receptive audiences while increasing your chances of sales as an affiliate marketer. Keeping abreast of industry trends such as AI or cloud software could assist in making informed decisions regarding affiliate marketing strategies to increase the effectiveness of campaigns and improve campaigns. Authenticity and audience building Affiliate marketing may not be an instantaneous path to riches, but it can still be very lucrative if people take the time and effort to build their audience and produce engaging content. Connecting authentically with consumers while also building trust is key to making affiliate sales. Pay-per-sale affiliate programs are the go-to model, rewarding affiliates when consumers click their link and make a purchase through it. According to Rakuten's survey of merchants offering this payment model to affiliates. Some affiliates also choose pay-per-action payments when advertising products - compensation is given when someone takes specific actions such as subscribing to newsletters or filling out contact forms - while pay-per-install programs provide payments when users install software applications from an affiliate link. Pat Flynn, an influential affiliate marketer, has distinguished three different types of affiliate marketers: unattached, related, and involved. Unaffiliated affiliate marketers do not personally test or use the product they promote and thus cannot give an accurate impression to their audience about its quality or use; while involved affiliate marketers can offer first-hand insight to their audience with first-hand experience from using and testing out said product themselves. Affiliate marketers need to remain current on new technologies and products to remain successful in today's ever-evolving digital environment. Staying abreast with these advancements allows affiliates to remain relevant with their audience while guaranteeing they promote high-quality items that can keep pace with customer demand. Furthermore, communication of this information must take place clearly so their audiences understand why they're purchasing it.
