“There won’t be a centralized shopping district this season” Boatem: “fine, I’ll do it myself”

Grian at the start of the season: "I have decided not to build a mega base." Grian at episode 10: "We have decided to build a giga base."

Grian in the first Episode: I’m not going to be making a megabase this season. Grian now: G I G A B A S E

The fact Gem hid a decoy in the deer's rear got me dying 😂

Grain: "I'm not gonna make a mega base like I did last season." Also Grian: "GIGABASE! 5 MEGA BASES MERGE INTO ONE!"

i know tegg won't last that long to see that day but the mental image of some poor hermit trying to find the tegg in a giant 5 person gigabase is just so funny to me

I just realized while rewatching that the last llama that refuses to go in is the one that falls when Scar breaks the lead. It knew.

the words "SCAR, NO!" always come out of grians mough

"You know who's not a mastermind? ME." -Grian, the man responsible for two wars, two serverwide death games, three convoluted games of tag, and a tree monster

Grian: "I'm not gonna build a mega base this season." Grian: ... Grian: "The keyword being 'a'"

Grian: "a potato has never been the cause of it either" Mumbo: /cries in sahara redstone

Grian and Mumbo hang around each other so much that even their laughs are in synch 22:34

"I can't kill anything" "Except the competition, right Mumbo?" I wonder how long until it becomes peace love and profits

I love that Grian went from “not a mega-base” to whatever a gigabase is

Grian, if you are itching for some shenanigans, apparently Impulse HATES torches on walls. Like if you are lighting up an area, torches should only go on the floor.... just a thought if you feel like mischief. ;)

Grian: I'm not going to build a mega base. Also Grian: With some other hermits we're going to build a GIGA base!

Love how instead of just telling scar to grind for Mumbo’s stuff he promotes the g-train, truly a businessman

If Grian is making Diagon Alley, he could make a bank for all the diamonds that the Botem gang makes

*Grian:* "The idea, is, of course, we have multiple floating llamas that we sit on in the boatem hole under the boatem pole to come up with a boatem goal." *Literally Everyone:* Of course.

“I’ve just resorted to throwing carrots at walls to make sure there’s nothing behind them” Grain, 2021.

Grian: "I'm not making a mega base this season." Grian: "Let's make a giga base!"

Grian: “I’m not making a megabase” Grian a few episodes later: “It’s a gigabase”

"First meeting, only 2 deaths! :) " is such a Hermitcraft quote

Grian: "This went the most hectic and chaotic imaginable!" Me: I mean, Grian is the Hermit of Chaos which declares war anytime on whatever you want so... heh.

"and a potato has never been the cause of it either" flashback to Grian throwing a potato into the Sahara system

That was just like a normal meeting: • Extreme headaches • Near death experiences • Actual death experiences • A dark void close and welcoming • A man in a top hat

Just gotta say that you're my favorite hermit. Scar is a close second. I'm a 34 year-old stay-at-home mom who occasionally dabbles at building on minecraft, and I love watching your videos on the hermitcraft server. I am constantly finding myself laughing at your pranks, and your designs are really nice. I don't know if I'll ever be as creative as you or the other hermits are, but you've all really shown techniques that I'm trying out. Maybe someday my kids will play too, and I look forward to showing them your videos.

After the egg game, a Hungarian horntail on the top of the mountain guarding its eggs would be super cool.

I love how since grian has been on the server him and mumbo have always had a connected base from the mail system to the cart system now in building the moutain

Mumbo: “We’re all about the Peace, love and plants baby” Mumbo’s neighbor: “Alright so we’re just gonna hang this llama over the void like so.”

The skeleton in the background: “LIKE MY LIGHT UP SHOES?!”

"That's the key thing, whenever you give someone bad news, run away before you can see how sad they are."

_"Destroying Mumbo's items and buying him new ones"_ - the episode

Grian: I'm not going to be making a mega base this season Also Grian: we are building the first GIGA BASE!!!

Grain: I'm going to try something that has never been done on hermitcraft before Me: COMMUNISM

Hey Grian for the G-Train I suggest making one of the train cars look like ones that would hold liquid to possibly sell fish or something?

“A potato has never been the cause of it either” Mumbo: sahara ptsd

19:00 Scar's screaming as he falls had me DYING-

Grian: "I'M not gonna do a MEGAbase this season" What it seems Grian is implying now: "WE'RE gonna do an ULTRAbase"

Scar breaking the lead in HC season eight: "I just wanted to see what would happen." Grian detonating Scar in Third Life: "It was just a prank."

Grian's tactic for a meeting, get everyone into a life threatening situation, have them all agree in a panic.

1:03 "False, firmly in the lead" Gem with 8 less points: am I a joke to you?

“I don’t want to make a huge base this season” *proceeds to make biggest base on hermitcraft

Grian "I'm not making a megabase" Grian "GIGABASE"

You can take all the mega bases and connect them in a circle since they seem to wrap around the boatem pole, you could call the base the boatem bowl

Mumbo: You know, building massive corporations on the Hermitcraft server has *never* gone badly. Grian: It's literally never gone badly, and a *potato* has never been the cause of it either. Me: *INSTANT FLASHBACKS TO HERMITCRAFT SEASON 6: EPISODE 68*

That meeting was really just a practical demonstration of the perhaps you perished parcel

Grian: *dangles people over the void and two people die* Also Grian: "im surprised they were on board!!"

I've gotten really used to Grian screaming "OH!! Scar No!!" Quickly followed by *Goodtimeswithscar has fallen from a high place*

Grian: could simply put everything in a chest and test the llama Grian instead: keeps everything he has on him

*Grian:* "..You've got, *Shrek's swamp* " *Gem:*

I need Mumbo’s quote on a T-Shirt “1st meeting, only 2 deaths! Woo!”

Pearl: Recreates Decked Out. False: Does Minecraft Trivia. Gem: Just hides it well. Grian: Sells the Egg.

I love how highly Grain speaks of Gem! It makes me so happy 😁 !

Good idea with the train. The barge was a pretty clever take on the business side but I feel like it got a little stale a restrictive for you as the previous season progressed. The train will give you much more flexibility for a creative approach. Also, it looks pretty swell to boot.

Grian realising Mumbo has a successful store: Let’s all band together

I can't help but feel "first meeting, only 2 deaths!" really sets the scene.

"Sometimes placing the first block is the hardest thing to do" -Grian I don't know why, but this quote actually fits many things, the first step might be the hardest and it's okay to take some time to do it

Grian: "I'm not gonna make a megabase this year." Also Grian: "Soo..... Gigabase?"

"One week on the Hermitcraft basically a years worth of progress elsewhere" couldn't agree more

21:40 “there’s two ways out Mumbo- one of them is down, and one of them is up.”

I like how Mumbo went from on vacation in Hawaii, to a potato cowboy

I nearly spat out my tea at "And a potato has never been the cause of it" - lol, I completely forgot that Grian broke Sahara with a spud!

Scar: *purposefully breaks the lead and drops Mumbo into the void* Also Scar: "Can I get a good guy discount?"

12:06 Impulse staring in the background had me laughing

Bless scar’s heart he is so innocent in certain ways

Grian: "And a potato has never been the cause of it either." Me: intense Sahara flashbacks

Grian: "This season, I'm not going to build a mega base." Also Grian: *plans to build a giga-base*

every single time grian falls to the void it gives me a small heart attack

"Doo doo doo doo wool train, doo doo doo doo wool train, And look at that we're done!" -Grian 2021

"A Grian meeting without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair" -Magister Illyrio

The fact that each season the hermits are getting more and more interactive is great

"Your boatum hole can never be too big" Grian 2021 I'm dead now

''HOW DID THAT OCCUR'' Grian is slowly evolving into Mumbo

I absolutely love the amount of collaboration going on this season. Etho and Iskall sharing a base; Ren and Doc sharing a base; the Big Eye Crew all working together; XB and Hypno's Horse Head Farms; and now this. This season is taking full advantage of Hermitcraft being an SMP than ever before, rather than everyone just being off doing their own things and getting together only every once in a while for a collab.

Grian a few episodes earlier: "This Season I don't want to build a mega base." Later: "Hey Mumbo wanna merge for a mega base?" Now: "Hey Boatem wanna merge for a giga base?" Grian was right: He doesn't build a mega base, he gets a GIGA-Base

teacher: you cant learn anything from games grian: *learns how to sing*

Grain: I have a dream that one day boatem bases will hold hand and hand.

“First meeting only 2 deaths!” Well the first one was scars fault, and the second one... was scars fault xD

Grian: boatem hole Everyone: ok Scar: Are you a villager?

the whole time grian was having everyone dangle around i was just lauging my head off

I’ve just been Bing watching this whole session grains voice is so soothing 😭😭😭✋

Sales pitch, for 100 diamonds, any hermit on the server can buy a spot on the G-Train, that hermit can then build their own shop. 25 Diamond discount for residents of boatem. Example, Mumbo buys a spot on the G-Train, he can then build a mini harmless harvests. It’s a win win because you and the hermit who bought the spot both get diamonds.

Grian: "dudududududu wool train" Elybeatmaker: "Write that down! Write that down!"

Grian: I’m not making a mega base, I want to go smaller. Also Grian: lets build a GIGA-Base.

Scar in season 7 starter was a whole mythical village with lore... in comparison, this is much more of a starter base than that was lol

Anyone: "Scar how big is your starter base going to be" Scar: *Yes*

Grian: "Im not making a Mega base this season" Everyone: "Alright, interesting" Grian: "Its gonna be a Giga base!" Everyone: "What?"

When you only just found out that lamas are breed with hay bales

'sometimes placing the first block is the hardest thing to do' (so true) - Grian 2021

Grian: "im not going to build a mega base" also Grian: "LETS BUILD A GIGABASE!"

So, are we just going to ignore the fact that Grian suggested bunking with Scar. Should we be worried that two of the bigger business moguls on the server might be bunking together?

2:10 the amusement in Grian's voice was just great

TEGG was a genius game idea.

Scar, the person that dies from literally everything Grian: "Lets have a meeting in the bottomless pit!"

i love the sahara reference it got me dying with the potato that broke mumbo and iskalls machine lmao

I've watched the Boatem Hole meeting from 3 different perspectives so far and have just noticed that Impulse is on a llama after they get out of the hole

Train terminology for Grian: The Engine (the thing that makes the train move ofc) The tender (The car behind the engine that carries coal for engine.) Carriage/Car (carries passengers, cargo, or crew.) Boggie (The part that holds the wheels together) Latch (Connects the cars together.) Tail car/ Caboose (The last car on the train.)

Grian: We're gonna band together to make this base Grians thoughts: We're gonna band together so scar can make the top of my base
