[@RedWinterRoses]

Honestly, this is what keeps me coming back to Hermitcraft. The builds are awesome, the individual creators are incredible... but it's the fact that listening to one hermit wax eloquent about how much they appreciate another hermit isn't an _unusual_ thing. It's always so inspiring to see the collaborative element at work. The hermits are all fantastic artists and engineers in their own right, but the magic of Hermitcraft comes from the fact that they all respect each other and work in tandem to create phenomenal, awe-inspiring, fun, and engaging things. Mad respect to every hermit -- though, of course, always the highest respect to the GOAT. ;)

I like how the hermits having a very awesome time together. Having wholesome conversations. Being proud of their work. Enjoyed working together. Then the work is covering your friends base with dirt

[@ShifuDaxiongmao]

The best way to get the walls done is to offer up a "forgive and forget" to anyone who helped cover up the perimeter if they help out. ;) And maybe teach scar how to do the area speaker thing if he doesn't know. It would be a great fit for public service announcements in Scarland.

[@jetty9678]

challenging the whole server to out-grind Doc by building the walls and floor might work too. :)

Hermitcarft Season 10: Doc & Grian combo base = Chaos incarnate but the ultimate end to the server. The countdown to see if it happens begins

[@jameshogan1094]

I bet the backside of that base would be finished...

[@markredmond9997]

​@@jameshogan1094 let's not go too far here now

​@@jameshogan1094nah they would make a backless base so grian doesnt have to

[@Anonyomus_commenter]

@@antman9527It would be hilarious if Grian actually finishes it then doc pulls it down with a flying machine and pretends they had to reload the server to before he did it or something.

[@spiroghast]

These comments just go to show some of the many reasons why I love the hermitcarft community :D

[@danielwesley5051]

He should be glad that Etho wasn’t in charge, it would be solid dirt all the way down

[@LazyTurtle921]

I love how the intro starts with the Perimeter open and Doc is saying nothing is wrong, in a state of denial, and then Doc does an actual intro with the current state of the dark Perimeter, flabbergasted at what happened.

[@matheusGMN]

that thumbnail really encompasses the feel of this episode, that huh, which just points to a feeling that "something is wrong! I can feel it!" yet, the landscape looks _completely_ normal hahaha, I loved this so much

[@richlearner2723]

If he had continued on with never admitting he had been pranked, that would be the biggest prank on the audience and the buttercups lol 😂

[@dee2007]

True!

[@krogen1]

That would be a potentially good comeback, but Doc will also miss a massive opportunity to make entertaining content for himself and us, as the audience was excited to see his reaction to the prank.

[@jsw973]

That would be proper 1984 behavior, gaslight them into thinking the prank never happened. The truth is in the hands of the goat.

[@terencevangaalen4127]

@@krogen1 The buttercups may be annoying, but they have a huge amount of subscribers that now all will come see this video to see his reaction. Massive Docmercial. (I started following Doc after his interactions with Grian and Mumbo before and I'm happy I did.

[@darkdragoness5]

Welcome back Doc, I love the fake out intro, especially where you introduced the fanart with "no clue" why you picked it. I know many of us knew what had happened and had flocked here to see your reaction, which is absolutely glorious (and is going to bring the fear of the GOAT to the rest of the server)

[@jerkyjeff]

This is why having rivalries in hermitcraft is great. So many people are watching doc now to see his reactions to these epic pranks

[@james14294]

I love that his motivational quotes are probably what gave them the drive to keep going on terraforming the place

[@zeroknight1311]

You know, despite how the Buttercups and friends had acted, its nice to know that you had saw the bright side. After all, you now have where to build the walls of the perimenter. Also, if you want to freak everyone out then just host a harmless party celebrating how thankful you are to everyone. Like you just host a party and nothing bad happens. Leading to everyone being on edge for the entire time wondering whose base is going to be destroyed. And when everything is over, the Buttercups and their allies will be so on edge that they'll think your planning something big. Oh and try making them all doubt each other during the party in very subtle ways. As that can cause everyone who did the biggest grind ever to start messing with each other.

[@dee2007]

That is a genius strategy. Is hermitcraft becoming the next life series?

[@theblackunicorn261]

The funniest part is that if you watch Grian's perspective, you'll know that pretty much half of the entire server just silently teamed up and did this

[@bennyk384]

Ironically, Doc keeping Grian "in check", often leads to the most shenanigans

[@KosstAmojan]

There's a reason Grian starting a war is a meme. In this case keeping him "in check" just means being the target of most of his shenanigans.

[@MrAudymurphy]

Leaving Doc speechless best and hardest thing to do on hermitcraft, well done you absolute madmen

[@mtbrocket]

If you are going to decorate the walls it shouldn’t be just a repeating pattern. I suggest a cityscape where the buildings are the height of the walls. I would have a decorative white boardwalk on the edge with vines and waterfalls falling onto the buildings. Large frescoes and balconies would look good too. 😊🎉

[@mtbrocket]

Frescoes of GOAT and DOC and scenes of great accomplishments.

[@Trueflights]

I can see a Super Mario Brothers stage being laid out along the perimeter walls. Complete with the castle and flagpole

[@hermitcollector]

Yes!

[@henryevergreen2678]

Remember: All this started because Impulse, Scar, & Gem forced Grian to finish the back of his base.

[@sib315]

So everything hapend becouse grian was lazy

[@QUEfrang]

No, it started because Mumbo is not good at ageing copper

[@jennareally]

With what the gang of perimeter hole cover partakers did I wouldnt consider them lesser at this point

Imagine Docm coming back from his holiday with a simple message in the discord: "Hi all, I'm back." Must've given off a certain feeling to some hermits lol

[@TheScienceNerd100]

Its kinda poetic with Doc's message saying everyone "Lives in the Goat's world" and what happens is everyone else bonds in pranking the Goat, in his own world.

[@HannahO__O]

you could always set up like plots on the walls and assign each hermit a section to decorate in their style! that would be a really cool collaboration, and then do your own design between each plot to fill in the gaps

[@T.Brixen]
