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

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 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

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.

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

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

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!

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.”

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

*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.

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

"They are forced to pay me some diamonds, but the great thing is they have no idea quite how much it's going to cost." It seems that Grian has just invented taxes.

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."

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

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.

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

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: "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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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

Between grian’s and mumbo’s base should be a archway with water underneath. Like you could build boats between and underneath the archway, on the boats could be your shops

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

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

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

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

Poultry-Man, Poultry-Man, does whatever a chicken can. Slings an egg, every time, then he's gone in the blink of an eye, look out, here comes the Poultry-Man

"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

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*

Season Six: Accidentally builds a tunnel to Mumbos base Season Seven: On purposely builds a tunnel to Mumbos base Season Eight: Just connects the bases so there is no confusion

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

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

"who would be our first victim?" "mumbo" This episode : *bet*

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

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

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

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

If they do create boatem corp, they’d be like the bad guys from hit man. Grian’s the mastermind behind the scenes, Mumbo’s the trigger happy gunslinger, Scar’s the mad mechanic, Impulse is the industrial manufacturer, and Pearl’s the face of the company that covers up the shady stuff the rest of the company does.

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

"learn some train terms" My time has come Locomotives are essentially the power car of the train. Tenders are used on tender engines, a type of steam train that stores it's coal and water in a second car rather than on the locomotive itself. Rolling Stock is the stuff pulled behind the engine of a train. Flatbeds are basically empty carriages that have no walls so just the bogies and the floor. Carriages are another term for coaches, a piece of Rolling Stock used to carry passengers. Trucks are a piece of Rolling Stock that are typically open Topped with walls Brake Vans are the little wagons at the end of the train that help with braking to slow the train down.

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

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

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

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."

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

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

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

Every Boatem hole meeting should start with an enderpearl in water bubble protocol. So if someone fell, someone else could press a button to save them.

12:06 Impulse staring in the background had me laughing

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

Grain: look how magical this is, you can just imagine when this is finished its in the background. You got a giant deer or stag. And you got..... *SHREKS SWAMP*

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

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

The thought of a huge collaborative project like this happening on a server called "Hermitcraft" is somehow really funny to me.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Grian: I don’t want to make a mega base this season Also Grian: WERE MAKING THE FIRST GIGA BASE

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

"Thankfully it wasn't in the deer's butt"- Grian 2021

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

If Pearl does not get a seat because she has no wings, you could make an ender pearl stasis chamber that she can pull so people can get out of the hole risk-free.

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

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

Grian: "If people want to win at TEGG, they'll have to pay me some diamonds." EA: "Well done, my young apprentice!" (edit) Grian: "I'mma build my corporate boardroom over a bottomless pit!" Emperor Palpatine: "Take my advice, not a great strategy."

For Grian: Words that rhyme with "pole": Console stole scroll stroll control whole role soul coal roll sole bowl patrol toll poll troll mole enroll espagnol

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

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

Grian: “You guys are over reacting! I’ve only been gone for a week!” The server: “1 hour here is 7 years on earth.”

a round two of tegg when everyones bases are near/fully complete would be crazy with just the sheer amount of spots bases (possibly) would have

TEGG was a genius game idea.

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

Hermits at the start of the season: "Let's make decentralized shopping this season!" Grian: *Creates a monopoly*

Grian literally 2 episodes ago: "I'm not making a mega base this season" Grian now: "Its GIGA!" He was technically telling the truth 😂
