[@strbourne]

As a suggestion to make it even more governmental: To even have access to the MJYAAFK06 as shown in the video in the first place, the hermits need to fill out a Y2K86 Form and a MYJAAFK06 Form. Here is a basic idea for the forms: Y2K86: - Username - Date Of Birth - Place Of Birth - Location Of Residence (xyz coordinates of their front door) MYJAAFK06: - Username - Date Of Birth - Place Of Birth - Location Of Residence (xyz coordinates of their front door) - Item For Which The Permit Is Necessary - Pledge That All The Information In The Form Is Complete And True For any document that requires a location of a front door, if the Hermit in question doesn't have a front door (a.k.a. Mumbo), they must fill in form BBBBB12, which requires 4 coordinate points that create a perimeter around their base, proof of residence (which needs to be notarized by a legally approved Hermit), and proof that the residence does not include a front door (which needs to be notarized by a DIFFERENT legally approved Hermit). That form must be attached to ANY document that requires a location of a front door. On top of those two forms, they need to hand in a valid piece of identification, which must include, well, you probably guessed by now. Once they've done that, a file is open in their name with a unique 6 digit number, which they are given verbally at the same time as the MJYAAFK06 Form. They MUST remember that number and give it to you back once the form is filled in, otherwise they can't access their file and have to restart the process. And, of course, if they don't submit the completed MJYAAFK06 Form with their file number within a certain time limit of it being issued to them, you close their file and they have to restart the whole process. Basically, have them fill out multiple forms, with redundant information, to even be allowed to have access to the actual form, and include a lot of unnecessary paperwork that is easy to lose and with similar names that are easy to confuse. (Can you tell that this was inspired by actual events?)

[@magnulof]

You need to make the "other door". Hide it behind some bushes with a pathway that have so much space between the stones that it looks like a path for garden maintenance. Preferably the door leads to a ground floor/cellar. In the cellar you find a hallway that looks so unused that you walk out of the building before giving it another try. One of the questions in a form should include something like: "have you done this moderately frustrating task lately?" And if they do and say yes you'll go "why have you done that? Now you'll have to wait two full workdays before reposting the permit" If you want to take it further you'll remind them that the permit place is only open half a workday each week and that it means they'll have to wait four weeks before reapplying for a permit. Two of the questions(X and Y) should be like "if you've said yes on Y you must say no on X" and vice versa.

[@matronyme3402]

I thought of a few ideas with the permits' forms (which maybe other people thought of too, credits to them if that's the case) : - You should make a few questions that can invert or invalidate the other questions. For example, if the Hermits answer yes to "Does the item meet the criteria of the base blooben test ?", they would need to say no to "have you ran around Gem's base 10 times today". If they answered no to the first one, they would then need to say yes to the second one, or else it would be denied. You could make it change the needed answers of previous questions too - You could also set some questions that don't need to be answered if the Hermits said yes or no to the previous ones (or the next questions, so they don't know it in advance), like "Did you mine 3 diamonds in the past few weeks ?* (if yes proceed to page 15)", - Or questions referring to other pages which are not related at all ("How do you feel ? * see page 4" --> "what is your permit neeeded for ?"), just to make things more confusing - And you could also add some sort of survey system in which you ask the Hermits ' opinion in less than 4 words (depending on the answer, you may or may not accept their demand) - Oh and maybe add a verification system in which the Hermits need to prove their identity by filling another form, and make it super slow, like where they need a few minecraft day and night cycles to pass, before telling them if their identity has been confirmed, then that their form has been denied, and they need to wait a few minutes before filling another one (but you close the department for the day right before they finish it)

[@1st1anarkissed]

You need to set up a website where you sort of explain the questions but it gets more confusing. Then you can answer, "everything is on the website."

[@rowanahedley9578]

My mum once phone up whoever it was because the thing on the wrbsite wasnt working. The automated vocie said something along the lines of "you can now do such and such and such and such on the website" and then like promptly hung up on her.

[@ThatOneLadyOverHere]

​@@rowanahedley9578I had an experience like that a couple weeks ago! I called multuple times and tried everything I could, but it refused to give me over to customer service. I told it "representative" and it said "I understand you want to talk to someone, but I need this info 1st," then as soon as you give that info it gives you the stats on the package, wishes you a good day and hangs up. Tried giving it a wrong number, absolutely anything I could think of, but no. Nothing. I was gonna say "the absolute worst," but I tried to call the IRS about my tax return during the pandemic when it was 3 months after it should have been in my bamk account and ended up having to call Intuit to see if they had any idea why I wasn't getting my money back, surprisingly actually got a solid theory as to why from them. Got my tax return a whole year or so after submiting it with no explanation from the IRS.

[@4whomittolz846]

You should require Scar to find another Hermit to cosign the form, which also comes with a lenthy form to register as a guarantor. That way Scar has to give someone a favor or bribe to go through the process of that form.

[@josephburnett2611]

If you want a real challenge next hermitcraft season i got you. Everyone builds seperate bases which eventually makes an entire city every hermitcraft season so hear me out. I think next hermit craft series you guys should challenge yourselves to build only 1 massive mega build town nestled in an extremely large mountian range. You can split up the work based on each others strengths. No individual bases. Every hermit will be bunking together in a massive building like a manor or castle. And all resources are shared. Now the tough part. Everyone has 5 lives. And the world spawns a boss wither every week as well as a small army of mobs that try to destroy your build. Your jobs is to complete the build while defending it from the weekly raid against your city. And just for additional difficulty the wither army will spawn at a random time every week so you can't prepare everyone for it. I call this mode Mega Base Raids.

[@Inokiulus]

You can literally see it throughout the episode. The Blooben Test is actually quite simple and, if you pay attention, you can see what it is (17:58). You can never simply be told what it is. If you ask for nonsense to be clarified, you'll get put on hold (THIS very act physically answers the Blooben Test), and IF you get placed on hold, you have FAILED the Blooben Test. Easy. The "test" is just a test and, if you ask about it, you fail the test. I hope this helps. Much love ❤

If you really want to annoy people at the permit office, make a ticket system that goes up to 200 and whatever number they get they have to wait till you get to that number.

[@ezekiellati5257]

And make him announce random names and some close to the actual names

[@JuanJosePedroIII]

Use a random number generator in binary to announce whose turn it is. Have it flip every ten seconds and if they miss it, they need to wait.

i love what youre doing with the permit office! if you want to make the process even more tedious for the Hermits, I recommend adding a machine to dispense tickets + a corresponding sign that shows what number ticket is being seen, then they have to queue and wait for their turn! What they dont know is that the service sign is broken, and permanently stuck on whatever number you chose to display!
