Transcripts
Welcome back to episode 16
of Hermitcraft.
We're straight back into the action.
We've got a bunch of builds that we want doing today
but the first thing that needs to be done
is we need to shift over
these two little pork pies right here.
We're gonna take these guys over to the shopping district
because they have a new lease of life.
Our two very competent officers
have finally decided it's time to do their job
so we're gonna head over-
I've already lost a pig.
We're gonna head over to the shopping district
and introduce them
to the job.
And if you don't know who the most competent men on the server are,
they both begin with "S".
It's Scar and Skizz.
This has been a delightful walk through the server.
I'm actually starting to get a bit lost.
I've been flying so I-
I definitely appreciate my elytra more and more.
I've forgot just how long it takes
to get all the way over there.
And there's not a single person in sight.
And not a single-
They-
They told me that they needed
prismarine so badly
and yet not a single sale.
Alright, we're gonna meet them here.
I've left the pigs over at the shopping district.
Er- Eh.
Oh I've got to fix- I've got to fix that.
[SKIZZ laughs]
[SCAR] That's my secret entrance!
I showed Skizziewizzies.
[GRIAN] Alright fellas, let me turn on the lights.
[SCAR] Skizz, have you seen the portraits?
Look at the kitty, he's hanging in there.
[SKIZZ] I know, I love it!
[GRIAN] He's gonna get more and more buff
as the season goes on
because he's been hanging in there for so long.
[laughing]
[GRIAN] Alright guys. [SCAR] We're here.
[SCAR] We've been requested to come.
[GRIAN] About- [laughs] I think I've put in that request
a month ago?
Which is good because it means you're the right fellas for the job.
You've got the heart of the permit office
beating within your chest.
I'm just the permit guy,
I'm the permit office guy.
I'm afraid you're going to need
a supervisor
and that means
taking this one step above me.
You're gonna have to talk to my manager.
[SCAR] Dude, he's got an official vest!
[SKIZZ] That is official.
[GRIAN] Fresh out of training.
You've had your training, right?
Oh geez, what did corporate sending me to deal with?
[SCAR] Yes!
[GRIAN] Right okay. [SCAR] Chest bump.
[GRIAN] So the first things first guys,
you are going to be managing
the shopping district on the ground floor.
You're gonna be on the ground, you're gonna be
making sure that the rules are kept, okay?
But I cannot stress this enough.
You are not
police officers.
You have no power.
You just need to enforce the rules
and make sure that everyone does what they need to do
or they get shut down, does that make sense?
[SKIZZ] Let's just keep that between us.
[GRIAN] Oh yeah, they don't need to know that.
[GRIAN] They don't need to know that. [SKIZZ] Yeah, yeah okay.
[GRIAN] But I'm afraid neither of you can wear what you're wearing
so I hope Scar's done his thing.
[SCAR] Oh yeah! I did do that!
I have done something.
I have!
Hold on!
Like just like Grian's wardrobe change. Woohee!
[GRIAN laughs]
You know their wardrobe change
is a lot longer than mine.
Manager Grian was ready to go.
[SCAR] Kazam!
[GRIAN] Kaza- Yeah! That took so long, Scar.
[SCAR] What happened to him?
[GRIAN] Yeah he's even slower- [laughs]
[laughs] The moustache!
[SCAR laughs]
[GRIAN] Oh and the short shorts!
Put your diamond armour back on there fella.
[SKIZZ] I- [laughs]
[SCAR] You'll catch a sunburn, man.
It gets better, it gets better boys.
It gets better.
Skizz.
Your very own citation book.
and there's a hat in there.
[SKIZZ] Ohhh! Let's go! [GRIAN] Oh okay well you're prepared.
[GRIAN] Ohhh noo.
[SCAR] I've told you I'd been excited and waiting.
[GRIAN] No way!
Give us one, give us one. Let's have a look.
[SCAR] Put it on, Grian, put it on. [GRIAN] Wow!
[GRIAN] Look at the size of that!
It's bigger than you!
These officers have big heads.
[SKIZZ] Yes we do!
[SCAR] [laughs] You can see, look!
Look, you can see a pixel of his eye.
[GRIAN] Yeah my eye is hanging out on the bottom.
I'm not sure...
[SCAR] He's got a little drippy eye.
[GRIAN] Not sure it works on me.
Well you look the part, that's the main thing.
Let's head over to the shopping district
so I can tell you what you actually need to do.
Hold on, I'm gonna sleep.
[SKIZZ] I see you, I see you.
[GRIAN] Great.
Good. Good! Good!
Some people are following the rules.
Other people including myself
and maybe even you, Skizz,
you might be the first on your own list.
[SCAR laughs]
[SKIZZ] What?
[GRIAN] Haven't been following the rules.
I mean, okay.
So there's a few things.
It's time to start taking this shopping district
more seriously, okay?
The time of the pop-up
is over.
In a few weeks
and I'll let you know closer to the time
we're gonna have a pop-up purge.
No more pop-up shops.
We're over that hurdle now.
There's materials, they can build a real shop now.
Am I right?
[SKIZZ] You're right!
[SCAR] I'm ready to crack some fists.
[GRIAN] So there's a lot of pop-up shops
which means you need to give them fair warning
and then when that date hits,
if they've still got their pop-ups,
[SCAR] We'll burn them.
[GRIAN] Well I was gonna say, pick them up and put them in a pile
and close them down.
[SCAR] Okay, we do that and then burn them?
[GRIAN] Not- No.
[SKIZZ laughs]
[GRIAN] This is the big one, after the pop-up purge
some time after that,
we're gonna make sure that everyone has actually
made a shop for their permits.
[SCAR] Ooo. I was gonna ask about that.
[GRIAN] That's the future one.
We're not there yet.
First is the pop-up purge.
[SCAR] If they haven't
made a shop of their permit yet,
we burn their base, right?
[GRIAN] No, definitely-
You know what? You're fired.
I can't trust you.
[SCAR] No I'm on my best behaviour.
[GRIAN] I'm getting some real red flags here.
[SKIZZ] Here, back up a little bit Scar. Here we go.
Back up- There we go.
He didn't mean any of that.
[SCAR] No, I didn't mean anything.
[SKIZZ] He wants to make the permit office proud.
He's getting a little overzealous.
[GRIAN] Right so, is that clear?
If there's any other rules you wanna make up along the way,
the permit office really doesn't care.
[SCAR gasps] [SKIZZ] Right.
[GRIAN] So basically
you do you but if this comes back to me
and you caused me a problem,
I'm gonna cause you a problem. You understand?
[SCAR] Okay, we make you proud
and not give you more work.
[GRIAN] Excellent.
[SCAR] We'll do so much good work
that you do no work.
[GRIAN] Oh! Big thing!
Before you start any of this,
before you do a single thing,
I want you
and you to build
and officers headquarters
somewhere around here.
You need a building.
You need a building of authority.
You can't be running around, telling people what to do
when you don't even have a building or an office.
What do you think I'd be without the permit office?
I'd be nothing, I'm just a man!
You need a building to represent.
[SCAR] Can we temporarily shack up in the permit office?
[GRIAN] Noo.
Noo you need your own building.
I made the permit office, that's where I live.
[SCAR] He's not letting us go in there.
[GRIAN] One last thing.
You're gonna need your vehicle.
Here you go, I'm gonna introduce you to
Pig me up Scotty and Neil Hamstrong.
You've met before, you've been to space.
These are your rides.
On official POE POE duty
you can ride these fellas.
If you wanna be taken seriously.
[SKIZZ] This is what we're riding around now.
Alright so here-
[SCAR] Hamstrong, hamland, hamstem.
Hamho-
[GRIAN] Hamhock?
[SCAR] Hambuzz. [GRIAN laughs]
[SCAR] What's his name again?
[GRIAN] Alright fellas, I think you got it from here.
Good luck with your building, good luck.
Remember, building first.
[SKIZZ] We're gonna make you proud. [SCAR] Thank you commissioner Grian.
[SCAR] Say hi to permit Grian for us.
[GRIAN] Hopefully I don't-
This doesn't blow up in my face.
[SCAR] Dude what should we blow up first?
[GRIAN] Oh for goodness sake.
I've made a monumental mistake here.
Nah I don't care!
Okay, we're back at the base
and out of uniform.
I've not been on the server in a good week.
It's been so busy
just IRL with appointments and all the rest of it.
Don't you hate it when real life gets in the way of your video gaming?
But either way, I've been thinking a lot
about what to do here.
As you can tell
the trail of destruction
that is my storage
has slowly
increasingly spread
in this direction
and it hasn't really stopped.
Believe it or not,
despite it getting bigger
this is me trying to tidy up.
Look at this, these chests actually have
one kind of block in each of them
which is a big, big step forward.
However,
this season has been a little different for me.
So
I think I've said this before, I'm not sure,
I'm reacting to how I play the season.
So instead of forcing my
storage system up there
or in that building which was my original plan,
I've just kind of-
I've tried to be self aware about how I interact with the world
and since this
is where I always have and probably always will
store my items,
I think it's probably a good idea
to store my items exactly where I've been storing them.
I'm not gonna force them in there.
I'm basically going to build a building
right here
that can be
my storage facility.
I was fishing there so I built up around here.
I wasn't up there, so that's where I've been putting my farms.
There's a Cubfan and hello Cubfan.
[CUB] Hello! How are you?
[GRIAN] I'm good, just, you know, monologuing.
Talking about mess.
[CUB] That's cool. Grian, I got a question for you.
[GRIAN] Go!
[CUB] Check out this firework.
Do you like it and if so, can I sell it in my Cuboom firework shop?
[GRIAN] Grian 1...
[CUB] And that's supposed to be a waffle by the way on the side there.
[GRIAN] Wait, is this-
Oohh okay, oh yeah it does look like a waffle.
Okay.
Is- Is-
Cub?
I need you to set my expectations.
Have you managed to make my face?
[CUB] N... Yes.
[GRIAN] What?!
That's not my face, Cub.
[laughs]
[CUB] I tried man, I tried. [GRIAN] Oh man!
[GRIAN] I'm disappointed now.
I thought that was my face!
I was- [laughs]
You know like the creeper face? I was like
I was kind of expecting something magical like that.
[CUB] Oh yeah.
Yeah that would've been nice.
[GRIAN] Those are
as close to my colours
as you can get with fireworks
and I love it.
That is a really nice firework.
For some reason I thought you just broke the game
and managed to just make face fireworks.
[CUB] It would be awesome if we could do so but no.
[GRIAN] Yeah you sell those.
You've got the permit for-
[CUB] You happy? Okay.
[GRIAN] Yeah definitely.
[CUB] Alright, you keep those.
You keep those, there's gonna be more free ones coming for you
and that's gonna be like your payment for the
allowing me to sell this in the firework shop.
[GRIAN] Nice! They're cool.
They were really cool, don't get me wrong.
I wasn't pooping on his parade.
I just for some reason
because it's Cub
I thought he just broke the game
and managed to make
impossible shapes with fireworks
and then he said he did
and so I got a little bit-
I got a little bit disappointed by that
but that is really cool.
I like
what he's doing with the explosive fireworks.
Okay so we've got a bunch of projects.
Obviously I'm midway through tidying up
and I've started doing this
because I need ink sacs.
However this is not an effective way
to get ink sacs.
I don't believe that squids spawn in the bubbles
and making a squid farm
with all this water around is unlikely
so I need to brainstorm this a little bit.
There might be a little way to passively farm it,
I just need to figure it out.
As for unfinished projects go,
at what point do we call this
an unfinished project?
Because I cannot-
When I say I...
I mean
snail squiddly diddly over here.
The two snails are still-
The-
They've been mining.
They've been mining even more.
At what point do these guys need to move on?
How long do they need to wait for Scar-
Wait question: How long are you guys waiting for Scar?
Because I bet you guys are waiting for him
to take this down for quite some time.
Maybe this is just a permanent feature.
Okay.
The snails might need
to escape
because we can't leave them in there.
I have content to make as well.
Alright.
Let's make
some headway-
Ah.
Looks like he has made a daring escape.
Right let's do something here
because this is getting out of hand
and we're going to make
just a very quick
kind of gonna match this
and that
and just cover this very peculiar
square shape
up with a roof
that's gonna be-
Again, it'd gonna have a weird
weirdly pitched roof.
I've got a basic geometry going on here.
It's pretty messy
and that's okay for the time being.
As with everything we're building
or most things that we're building this season
it's been freehand which means
quite a lot of little alterations.
Now what this building is currently screaming at me
is this bit's too small
