Hacky's Blunder was an event that took place on 27 June 2022. During the weeks leading up to the release of the Ninth Era, the staff team announced several server rank giveaways on the MCPE discord. Players could react to the post and be entered into a raffle. No rules were announced for who could enter. All the giveaways were being funded by hacky232.
The third giveaway (which was for the King rank) was won by GummyGuy, however, when Gummy sent in a support ticket for the rank, he asked that it be given to his friend MidnightFury_, as Gummy already had the Legacy rank, which offered similar benefits. Hacky, who ultimately decided whether players received the rank, didn't think it was fair for Gummy to give the rank to Midnight, with his reasoning first being that Midnight had also entered into the raffle and because of this, technically had two chances to be drawn. Hacky also claimed that the admins had agreed to not allow players with ranks from participating, but that they had never posted the rules for the giveaways.
After some back and forth, it was eventually agreed that Midnight would receive the rank of Baron, a lower rank than the original King, and that the King rank would go back into another giveaway. While both sides seemed happy with this arrangement, Hacky kindly decided to purchase Midnight the rank of King, while also funding another giveaway for the same rank. Hacky would then ask Gummy to, "make a wiki article about [the] event" and to call it, "Hacky's Blunder".
