the trials of habit are a set of specific trials set by the entity HABIT, obviously. The purpose of the trials has not been proven yet, but through various means there are hints. The canyouseethewords tumblr is useful for this, as it gives a little more information on HABIT.
Basically, I reckon the reason behind the trials is for HABIT to find the perfect shell to inhabit, by whittling down suitable candidates. It may be this, or he is trying to recruit a new assistant of some kind, though he seems to be affiliated with the rake.
The process began after the video RYAN&THESEVENTRIALSOFHABIT, whereby it is revealed that Ryan was killed by the rake under the influence of HABIT, who had sent him the standard application form. The HYBRIDs applied and succeeded, though Alex was forbidden from entering.
The process is simple, the public could apply in a given time period using the followed email as a base:
"HELLO RABBIT,
I OFFER YOU A PLACE IN A TOURNAMENT OF SORTS, A UNIQUE CONTEST, CREATED JUST FOR YOU AND ALL OF YOUR EXPENDABLE CO-CONSPIRATORS. THE ONLY THING I ASK OF YOU: BE COMPLETELY OPEN WITH ME. DO NOT FUCK WITH ME. DO NOT SEEK ANY OUTSIDE HELP.
NAME:
AGE:
GENDER:
EARLIEST NIGHTMARE:
SHOESIZE:
HAIR COLOR:
BMI:
PREFERRED BLOOD TYPE:
WHAT YOU CHERISH THE MOST:
WHAT YOU HATE THE MOST:
THERE WILL BE SEVEN TRIALS, IN THREE PRELIMINARY ROUNDS, CULMINATING IN A GRAND FINALE. SEE YOU THERE RABBITS.
YOURS."
if you passed this application process, though there has been no obvious criteria for approval, then you would be issued a number. Ryan was Rabbit #001, Jeff #002, Evan #003 and Vince is #004. it can seem odd that Evan applied, since there is strong evidence that he is related to HABIT in one way or another, but whether he is possessed, split personality and one of them being HABIT, or he is purely, HABIT, it is clear that he is not immediately aware of that, and he would apply anyway on pure instinct. The group do not make it through the trials, though others do.
The rabbits were divided into various teams, each one a breed of rabbit, Angoras, Netherland Dwarfs and the English Lops, each team made up initially of 77 members.
If the application was a success and you had a number, then the trials would begin.
Trial One
29/NOV/10
as with every trial, a short version of it was released on HABIT's twitter, and the rabbits were emailed instructions. The first trial, part one, is as follows:
"YOU MADE THE CUT. THERE ARE MANY WHO ENVY THIS INVITATION. IF I AM SUCCESSFUL, IT WILL BE YOU WHO DESIRES EXCLUSION. ALL THE BETTER. LET'S GET STARTED, SHALL WE? BABY-STEPS, PEOPLE, BABY-STEPS. TRIALONE/partone: PROVIDE TO ME A LIST OF YOUR FIVE MOST BELOVED POSSESSIONS, PREFERABLY SIZED TO FIT INSIDE A BROWN PAPER BAG. YOU HAVE 24 HOURS. WISH YOU WERE HERE, (SUBMIT YOUR RESPONSE AS A 'REPLY' TO YOUR ORIGINAL APPLICATION MESSAGE. FOR SO HELP ME IF YOU CLOG MY INBOX. BASTARDS.)"
this part is relatively simple, and while it can lead people to lie, it can weed out the weaklings, as with every trial. The part about being sized to fit in a brown paper bag was an instant trigger for the contestants that they would either be burying something, or sending it. As it turned out, it was the former.:
"CONSIDER THIS A MULLIGAN, NOT FROM THE RAIN BUT FROM STUPIDITY. (SEE WHAT I FUCKING DID THERE?) IF YOU MUFFED UP PART ONE OF TRIAL ONE, CONSIDER IT FORGIVEN. I REALIZE YOU MAY HAVE LIVES. THAT IS UNFORTUNATE. AND WILL CHANGE. REGARDLESS, HERE IS PART TWO OF TRIAL ONE: FROM YOUR PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED LIST OF FIVE CHERISHED ITEMS, CHOOSE ONE. FILM YOURSELF PLACING IT IN A BAG AND BURYING IT, IN A FIELD OR IN THE WOODS.MARK THE GRAVE, MAKE IT SNAPPY, RABBITS. PERHAPS A PIECE OF WOOD.REMIND THEM: "HABIT MADE ME DO IT."
LEAVE YOUR LOVED ONE BEHIND.
UPLOAD THE VIDEO TO YOUTUBE, WITH THE FOLLOWING TITLE: "THESEVENTRIALSOFHABIT - TRIAL ONE - PART 2/2 - RABBIT#xxx" YOU MAY CHOOSE FOR IT TO BE PUBLIC OR UNLISTED. SEND ME A LINK OF THE FINAL VIDEO, IN A NEW EMAIL MESSAGE, WITH YOUR NUMBER IN THE SUBJECT.
YOU HAVE UNTIL THIS MONDAY AT 11 PM. LATE ENTRIES WILL NOT BE FORGIVEN THIS TIME.
LOVE ALWAYS,"
this confirms what others had suspected. There is a video of Alex fulfilling this trial, as he ignored his brother and entered the tournament, he was rabbit #231, though he apparently didn't pass trial one.
The burring part seems to be the initial hit for the rabbits, a way to see who was committed and who was just going with the crowd. This trial is only the beginning and things would get far more intense later.
After the trial the rabbits received one of the following emails:
"YOU HAVE COMPLETED TRIAL ONE. AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTION. SINCERELY,"
or
"YOU HAVE FAILED THE FIRST TRIAL. YOU HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THE TOURNAMENT. SOON, (DISCREPANCIES? TRY ME.)"
At the end of Trial One 157 Rabbits remain in the Tournament, 54 Angoras, 56 English Lops and 47 Netherland Dwarves.
Trial Two
15/DEC/10
the next trial was a bit more serious, following the pattern of the trials, the increasing severity and the constant elimination. Like the first trial, this one was split into parts one and two, the first part was emailed to the rabbits, and reads as follows:
"CONGRATULATIONS, MEAT. OBVIOUSLY, YOU ALL HAVE PASSED THE FIRST TRIAL. THIS MEANS NOTHING. GREAT, YOU'VE BURIED SOMETHING. ALL YOU HAVE DONE IS LOST ONE MORE THING THAT MAKES YOU HUMAN. LET'S SEE HOW WELL YOU CAN COORDINATE YOURSELVES, SHALL WE?
TRIAL TWO - (PART 1/2)
THINK 'PRISONER'S DILEMMA' EN MASSE.
ANGORA, ENGLISH LOP, AND THE NETHERLAND DWARF - EACH OF YOU (INDIVIDUALLY) MUST CAST A VOTE - CHOOSE A LEADER FOR YOUR TEAM (FROM YOUR RESPECTIVE LOT) AND THEN DESIGNATE A RUNT OF THE LITTER (AGAIN, FROM YOUR LOT) THAT WILL BE ELIMINATED. YOUR LEADER WILL REMAIN IN THE TOURNAMENT; THE RUNT WILL FACE THE CONSEQUENCES OF MOB-RULE.
THE TOURNAMENT WILL NOT PROCEED UNTIL WE HAVE DESIGNATED THESE FIGURE-HEADS.
YOUR BALLOT SHALL BE CAST IN THE FOLLOWING FORMAT: A NEW MESSAGE (EMAIL) WITH YOUR NUMBER IN THE SUBJECT. IN THE BODY: LEADER: (YOUR SELECTION)
RUNT: (YOUR SELECTION) MY LOVELY POLLING BOOTH WILL BE CLOSED THIS FRIDAY AT NOON, EASTERN. SO, WHAT WILL YOU DO? ATTEMPT TO CREATE A FOLLOWING AND BECOME A LEADER... OR IDLE YOURSELF COMFORTABLY WITHIN THE MASSES?
RUNT: (YOUR SELECTION) MY LOVELY POLLING BOOTH WILL BE CLOSED THIS FRIDAY AT NOON, EASTERN. SO, WHAT WILL YOU DO? ATTEMPT TO CREATE A FOLLOWING AND BECOME A LEADER... OR IDLE YOURSELF COMFORTABLY WITHIN THE MASSES?
I BABIED YOU DURING THE FIRST TRIAL - EXPECT NO SUCH LENIENCY FROM HERE ON OUT. I LEAVE IT UP TO YOU TO PROPERLY FIND AND CHOOSE
YOUR CANDIDATES.
UNTIL THEN,"
a clever trick here, obviously the rabbits would have had time to find each other and communicate, which means that friendships would have been forged. This simple task is genius in making rivalries, destroying trust and bringing out the more malicious side of the rabbits, making them turn against each other and form grudges. The formation of the leader was simple in seeing who was favoured, and the formation of the runts and perfect for pissing rabbits off at being designated the bottom of the pile. This is one more piece of evidence that HABIT is a very clever individual, and could show that he is able to play people off against each other, maybe even using this tactic to separate the EMH crew.
3 days later on 18/DEC/10, HABIT tweeted the results:
"RABBIT#224 HAS BEEN ELECTED AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE NETHERLAND DWARFS. RABBIT#098 HAS BEEN ELECTED AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ENGLISH LOPS. RABBIT#046 HAS BEEN ELECTED AS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ANGORAS. THE THREE RUNTS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THEIR ELIMINATION. AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTION."
though there aren’t any specific reasons we know of behind the votes, rabbit#098 was the only rabbit to receive a prize from the trials for their performance in trial one.
On 23/DEC/10 HABIT emailed the second part of the trial to the rabbits:
"THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO ACT AS A UNIT AND UNDERMINE A PARTICULAR TEAM (DROWN THEM IN NUMBERS), IF YOU SO WISH.
TRIAL TWO - (PART 2/2) - END OF ROUND ONE
OF THE THREE CANDIDATES SELECTED TO REPRESENT THEIR TEAM, YOU MUST SUBMIT ANOTHER BALLOT, DESIGNATING SUPPORT FOR ONE OF THE CANDIDATES
AND MALICE TOWARDS ANOTHER. CHOOSE ONE LEADER AND ONE GLORIFIED RUNT. THE WINNER SHALL BE SINGLED OUT AS FRONT-RUNNER IN THE TOURNAMENT AND THE
LOSER WILL BE PROMPTLY ELIMINATED.
VOTES ARE DUE IN BY MONDAY, DECEMBER 27TH, 2010, BY NOON EASTERN.
RESPONSES MUST BE SUBMITTED AS A NEW MESSAGE.
(BEAR IN MIND THAT YOU DO NOT NEED TO VOTE FOR YOUR TEAM'S PREVIOUSLY SELECTED LEADER.)"
another clever move at singling out the rabbits, and seeing which of his subjects is malicious enough to turn against their own.
To stir up even more conflict, he decided that the loser, the leader to be eliminated would be granted the power to take 15 rabbits with him in elimination. The loser decided this by taking it to the rival teams chat room and making his selections. Obviously, things would get viscous again with the extra threat of elimination. The EMH has requested to be eliminated in this round, and the loser had honoured this request. The infamous rabbit #052 had another rabbit sacrifice themselves for him to remain.
Trial Three
on 13/JAN/11 HABIT issued the following email to the remaining rabbits:
"CONGRATULATIONS MAKING IT THUS FAR.
HOWEVER, HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FOLLOW A LEADER THAT IS AS MORTAL AS HE IS SHIRTLESS?
EVERYTHING BLEEDS, CHILDREN.
REGARDLESS, HERE IS YOUR NEXT TASK:
TRIAL THREE - LOSE A FRIEND, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY.
GET CREATIVE. MAKE UP AN ELABORATE STORY. SIMPLY SEVER TIES WITH A GOOD FRIEND.
MAKE A VIDEO AND POST IT, PUBLICLY TO YOUTUBE, USING THE FORMAT "THESEVENTRIALSOFHABIT - TRIAL THREE - RABBIT#xxx"
TELL US WHAT YOU DID, PERHAPS RECORD THE EVENT / PHONE CALL / WHATEVER IT IS YOU CHOOSE.
DO NOT TELL THEM WHY YOU ARE DOING THIS. BLAME IT ON THEM.
HOWEVER, TELL THE VIEWERS AT THE END OF THE VIDEO, JUST WHO MADE YOU DO IT.
THE DEADLINE IS NEXT WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19TH, NOON EASTERN.
RUN ALONG."
this trial is the first of the cruel trials, and one that intrigued me. HABIT almost taunts the willing attitude of his rabbits by forcing them to disown a friend. Obviously, most videos containing this trial would have been staged, but the sheer psychological aspect behind this is a very striking move. HABIT is obviously a very isolated entity, and if he is seeking a similar soul, then he would want someone who would willingly obey this order without question.
The following tweets the next day clarified the trial:
"EMAIL YOUR SUBMISSION-LINKS TO ME. WOULDN'T WANT TO BE OVERLOOKED."
"PISS AND MOAN, PISS AND MOAN. YOU COMPLAIN AS IF THIS IS A GAME FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT: GET OVER YOURSELF."
obviously, he had received many complaints about this trial, and while I can defend those who argued, they should have known what would lie ahead in these trials, and they are obvious not fit for the coming trials, if this relatively passive act cannot be completed.
Only 76 rabbits made it through this trial, with 62 being eliminated.
Trial Four
this trial came on the 24/JAN/11 and the following message was emailed to the remaining rabbits:
LET'S RAISE SOME AWARENESS, SHALL WE?
TRIAL FOUR - RECITE THE ATTACHED POEM IN A CROWDED, PUBLIC PLACE.
IT'S SIMPLE, REALLY. CREATE A VIDEO CHRONICLING YOUR PERFORMANCE.
DETAILS: MUST SEE AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE PASSING ON-SCREEN, VOICE MUST BE LOUD, CLEAR, AND HEARD.
YOU CAN READ FROM THE DAMN SHEET IF YOU MUST. AT THE CULMINATION OF YOUR RECITATION, REMIND THEM WHO MADE YOU DO IT.
AFTER UPLOADING IT (PUBLIC SETTING, NO PRIVATE SUBMISSIONS), EMAIL ME YOUR ENTRY, AS ALWAYS, AS A NEW MESSAGE WITH YOUR NUMBER IN THE SUBJECT FIELD.
AGAIN, PISS AND MOAN ABOUT THIS TASK, BUT IF THIS "PERFORMANCE" IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU, SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME:
QUIT NOW, BECAUSE THIS IS JUST A PRECURSOR TO NUMBER FIVE.
DEADLINE IS A WEEK FROM NOW, ON JANUARY 31ST AT NOON EASTERN.
HAPPY MONDAY,
the poem which he refers to his shown below:
Little rabbits feed our Habits,
We are millions fierce and strong.
The bloodthirsty rage within us,
Urges, that we move on,
Do not fight the forever flood,
Of paranoia, hate, and fear,
Because I will be with you all,
I'll always be right here,
We'll take the rabbits together,
And together eat them alive,
We'll fill our hearts with the joy of the slaughter,
The joy of their tortured cries,
And as they lay face down in the dirt,
You will see that these rabbits were friends,
The ones you loved,
The ones who loved you,
Who cried your name to the bitter end,
And then you'll try your very damnedest,
You'll try to separate us,
Until you realize that us is me,
And with me there is no us,
So you millions scared and weak,
Prepare for some devastation,
Some blood soaked hands,
Some broken bones,
Because I am the monster in your head,
The beast that hides beneath your bed,
The axe wielding man crossing your street,
The bloody hands that tear the meat,
Try to stop me if you can,
But you'll break the Habits of man.
With love,
Habit
again, the purpose of this trial would be to find those who are close to the cause, and similar to HABIT himself. It seems that this would take considerable courage on the rabbits behalf, having to read such a provocative poem in public would surely invite ridicule, and I am sure this was one of the aims of the trial. While the peon is disturbing enough, the nature behind it are surely the real cause, its meant to make the rabbits think about why they have entered, and why they chose to continue in this endeavour.
The winner of the trial was mentioned via email and follows:
THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED TRIAL FOUR HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED; IF YOU HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED AN EMAIL, YOU HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED. THIS CONCLUDES ROUND TWO. THE WINNER OF THIS ROUND WILL BE CHOSEN AND NOTIFIED LATER THIS WEEK. REGARDS," The email sent to the Rabbits read as follows: "YOU HAVE PASSED TRIAL FOUR. THIS CONCLUDES THE SECOND ROUND. THE WINNER OF THIS ROUND WILL BE CHOSEN BASED UPON THEIR... RECITATION. AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTION.
This is the second notable appearance of rabbit #052, and he received this email from HABIT:
CONGRATULATIONS, RABBIT#052.
YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN AS THE WINNER OF ROUND FOUR. YOU MAY ASSUME THE TITLE OF WARREN JESTER. YOUR ABILITY TO SCREW WITH THE BOUNDARIES OF THE WRITTEN GUIDELINES IS HEARTWARMING. I WILL SEE TO IT THAT IT IS JUSTLY REWARDED. BUT DON’T DO IT AGAIN.
RESPOND WITH YOUR MAILING ADDRESS FOR YOUR PRIZE.
DON’T DIE,
the prize was yet another box in the same series that has previously been seen.
At the end of this trial, only 48 rabbits remain.
Trial Five
on 7/MAR/11 the following email was released unto the rabbits:
"TRIAL FIVE (PART 1/2)
CREATE A BEAUTIFUL HANDMADE GIFT FOR A LOVED ONE, PERHAPS FOR THE ONE YOU’VE NEGLECTED IN THE PREVIOUS TRIAL. (BY CHOOSING A LOVED ONE TO ABANDON, YOU’VE REVEALED THOSE MORE DEAR TO YOU BY THEIR OMMITANCE.)
SAID PERSONAL GIFT MUST INCLUDE A PICTURE OF THE TWO OF YOU. THE GIFT MUST BE A PHYSICAL ITEM. YOU SHOULD COMPLETE THIS BY THIS COMING WEEKEND. THERE WILL BE NO ACTUAL SUBMISSION PERIOD, HOWEVER, PROCEEDING IN THIS TRIAL REQUIRES THE GIFT TO BE COMPLETE."
this is the first part of trial 5, and while this trial seems to be a trick, it is not. This first part must have caught a lot of people off guard, the sheer kindness behind the trial must have been a nice surprise. The sought of “well maybe HABIT isn’t so bad after all, and hey, I can reunite with an old friend, thanks HABIT!” thinking that must have run through a few people's head, while cynics such as myself most like thought “ITS A TRAP!” In the most clichéd quote available. Surely HABIT cant be all that bad, right? WRONG
the second part of the trial was released 5 days later, the email read as follows:
"TRIAL FIVE (PART 2/2)
I HOPE YOU’VE SPENT A GREAT DEAL OF TIME ON YOUR GIFT.
YOU MUST NOW PRESENT THE GIFT TO THE RECIPIENT, IF YOU HAVE NOT YET DONE SO. EITHER WAY, YOU MUST DOCUMENT YOUR RECLAIMING OF THE GIFT. TELL THEM THAT THIS IS A SYMBOL OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND OF YOUR LOVE. AND DESTROY IT. YOU HAVE UNTIL THIS THURSDAY, THE SEVENTEENTH AT NOON, TO UPLOAD YOUR SUBMISSION. REMIND THEM WHO MADE YOU DO IT.
SEND ME A NEW EMAIL MESSAGE WITH THE LINK FOR CONFIRMATION."
“WHAT A BASTARD!” the surprised masses must have thought, though this is purely a strategic move. HABIT is definitely looking for a heartless and cruel winner, and therefore this move is to be expected. This is a very harsh trial, having to make up with a friend gently, then completely slam them. This can even be difficult to fake. HABIT seems to be trying to fashion some sort of horrible glut of humanity, someone that is barely nice in any way, much like HABIT himself. I cannot help but wonder what the EMH series would be like if the group had stayed in the trials.
HABIT emailed the survivors telling them to await instruction, and a mere 38 rabbits remained. Understandable that some rabbits would not do this trial.
Trial Six
this is where things get a little more interesting. The email below was sent on 6/JUN/11:
"AN AUDIENCE WORTHY OF NERO"
FORGIVE ME, MISCREANTS OF THE WORLD, FOR I HAVE HAD A FEW PRIOR OBLIGATIONS OF HIGHER PRIORITY TO ATTEND TO. LET’S GET BACK TO THE FUN, SHALL WE?
YOUR OBJECTIVE FOR THE SIXTH TRIAL OF OUR TOURNAMENT SHALL INVOLVE PUBLIC UNREST. CRAWL OUT FROM UNDER YOUR DAMNED ROCK AND GATHER A GROUP OF AT LEAST TEN (10) SUPPORTERS. WITH SAID GROUP, CONDUCT A (LEGAL) PROTEST AT YOUR LOCAL MUNICAPL CENTER (TOWN HALL, CAPITOL, WHAT HAVE YOU) AND DEMAND THE IMMEDIATE REMOVAL OF YOUR CURRENT DESPOT.
SUGGEST A KINDER, GENTLER LEADER: YOURS TRULY. HAVE AT LEAST ONE SUPPORTER CARRY A LARGE SIGN BEARING THE PHRASE “#HABIT2012” AND MAINTAIN THE PROTEST FOR AT LEAST AN HOUR.
THE MORE VISIBLE OF A PROEST YOU CREATE, THE HIGHER YOUR NOTORITETY WITHIN THE TOURNAMENT SHALL RISE.
KEEP IT PEACEFUL, RABBITS. I DON’T NEED A BUNCH OF BATSHIT CRAZIES, LOCKED UP IN COUNTY PRISON, BEING THE ONES TO CARRY MY NAME.
YOUR DEADLINE IS NEXT SUNDAY, JUNE 12TH, 10 PM EST.
GOOD TO BE BACK,
an interesting trial, not just the trial itself, but the gap between 5and6 is questionable, obviously something has kept HABIT busy. Anyway, this difficulty trial is definitely designed to really test the commitment of the rabbits, and test their resolve. The fact that this is not only a simple public reading, but a justifiable protest outside an official office takes the rabbits away from just playing a game, and into the more serious issues of the trials.
This trial is not a simple issue either, there is quite a serious series of events that surrounds this. The issue come from the notable rabbit #052. the issue came when #052 received the box in the post from HABIT, his winnings from his last trial. But, #052 had a problem with this trial, needing a permit to hold a protest in his county. The permit could take a longer time to receive than had been allowed, and he posted a video. Not asking for lenience, but actually attempting to blackmail HABIT, by threatening not to publicly open the box, as he knew that HABIT needed the box video to be public to further his games. In exchange for opening the box, #052 wanted to be put through to trial 7. but, the videos on their channel (found here: http://www.youtube.com/user/takoui) show that he and his room mate were attacked by something, most likely the rake. #052 finds his friend mauled under a sign saying “HABIT made me do it”.
The following messages were released in regard to these events:
"TRIAL SIX ENDED EARLIER THIS WEEK. EIGHT RABBITS REMAIN IN THE TOURNAMENT."
"RABBIT#052 HAS BEEN GRANTED PASSAGE TO THE NEXT TRIAL. I HAVE YET TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO IN REGARDS TO HIS... GAMBIT." and "#052... YOU SICKEN ME. BUT I APPLAUD YOUR TENACITY. SUCK A RAILROAD SPIKE. THAT IS ALL FOR NOW."
the following email was sent to the victorious rabbits:
CONGRATULATIONS.
YOU HAVE PASSED THE PENULTIMATE TRIAL. AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTION.
RABBIT#052... YOU ARE IN THE PURGATORY OF THESE TRIALS... I'VE NOT DECIDED WHAT I'M TO DO WITH YOU. YET.
but these events were false, though the box was stolen from #052, he admitted that he never had the box in the first place, and put his future in the tournament in the hands of the other rabbits. He was eliminated by a vote of 6 to 1. the emails of this event are listed below:
"THE REMAINING RABBITS WILL CHOOSE #052'S FATE THROUGH A SIMPLE VOTE."
The remaining Rabbits received this email:
"AS OUR FRIEND #052 SUGGESTED, WE HAVE SPOKEN ABOUT THIS MATTER: REMAINING RABBITS, VOTE SIMPLY: YAY or NAY, REGARDING HIS LONGEVITY IN THE TRIALS."
Two days latter HABIT announced:
"RABBIT #052 HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE TRIALS, DUE TO A VOTE OF 6 TO 1."
Trial Seven
this is the final trial, and a very simple one, it was emailed to the final 7 rabbits on 29/AUG/11:
WELL, RABBITS, WE'VE COME A LONG WAY... HERE ARE THE TERMS OF YOUR SEVENTH AND FINAL TRIAL. FOR A MOMENT, THOUGH, JUST CONSIDER: WE'RE ALL LIKE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY. WE HAVE THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS, AUNTS AND UNCLES, DISTANT, WEIRD COUSINS WHO YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE FELT UP IN THE GUEST BEDROOM THAT ONE THANKSGIVING... YES, ONE, LOVING FAMILY. YOUR DEADLINE FOR THE FINAL TRIAL IS INDEFINITE. REMEMBER, THE TRIALS WILL CONTINUE SO LONG AS THERE ARE AT LEAST TWO COMPETING RABBITS... TRIAL SEVEN: KEEP YOUR BODY BREATHING. GOOD LUCK, RABBITS.
So far, this is the only information on the seventh trial, and as of yet, no winner has been determined. It could seem like a simple trial of not doing anything, just staying alive. But it is not. At this point, only the most ruthless and keen rabbits have survived through to Trial 7, and therefore, they are determined to win. So what would be the best way to be the final rabbit still breathing? Kill the other rabbits. The final trial is, in effect, a fight to the death, for those that chose to compete. The problem is, the trial will continue as long as two rabbits are still breathing, meaning that even wanting out of the competition wont let you out. You must be killed off, or kill. This is the final step to winning HABIT's little tournament, and it will show the most ruthless, determined, heartless and HABIT-like rabbit available.
There has been no news on the trials since this was released.
