with Myrtn. Joel, and Jimmy?? best team

Dang it, now i gotta spend 12 months choosing where the stickers go

Anybody know what episode this came from? I for one am very curious.

I 'discovered' Grian recently and I've started religiously binging his videos recently, like last month or so. I find him hilarious! I quote discovered but really, I think I've seen him before on Joel or Lizzie's videos as I've been a fan of them for years. After a year-break from Minecraft videos, I have fallen in love with his content?? Does that make sense? Like I opened my Gaming Recap and he's third??? And I've only started watching his pov recently??

I bet none of you will care but I just find it so funny.

I guess this is the only place where we could talk about it

This is an idea based on the game "Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward", I think it would work SUPER well for the life series. In Virtue's Last Reward (VLR) 9 players find themselves in a base where they are all have to play the "AB game". Here's how it works:

The AB Game:

In the AB game, groups of players are periodically sent into booths called the "AB rooms", in front of them is a panel with two buttons on it. One says "Ally" the other says "Betray". Players must choose to ally or betray with the person they are paired with. Both parties will choose in their own separate rooms, meaning the other player doesn't know what the other picked. I'll explain more on that later.

Players are grouped into pairs of 1 and 1 or 2 and 1. For example, if you have 5 players (Grian, Mumbo, Cleo, Martin & Lizzie), they might be paired in the following way:

• Grian and Mumbo make a pair (Red).
• Cleo and Lizzie make a pair with Martin (Blue)

Players know who they are paired with because they all wear bracelets saying "Pair" or "Solo" in a particular colour. So, Grian and Mumbo would have Red "Solo" bracelets, Cleo and Lizzie would have Blue "Pair" bracelets, and Martin would have a Blue "Solo" bracelet. If you're confused, please bare with me because it will make sense in a second.

Obviously Minecraft doesn't have bracelets, but this could be displayed a multitude of different ways in-game, such as on the action bar, scoreboard, player list, or resource pack.

When it is time to vote, a disembodied voice declares that the AB Rooms are open to vote, all players must vote. There would be one vote per session at the end of the session, the results would be revealed shortly after all players gather at spawn after voting. The results are then displayed on a large board for all players to see how everyone voted.

Something I haven't mentioned until now is that all players have "points", everyone starts on 3 points. This is where the stakes of allying or betraying someone come into play. Points are given or subtracted based on the outcome of a voting session.

Let's take Mumbo and Grian from before, they are both Red Solo, so they both go into separate AB rooms.

If both players ally, they will both gain 2 points. If one player allies and the other betrays, the one who allied will lose 2 points, and the person who betrayed gains 3 points. If both players betray, all players get 0 points. Here's a cross-reference table visualising it:

The way this works with 2 and 1 groups is that simply 2 people make the decision to ally or betray the other person. For example:

If Lizzie and Cleo decide they can't trust Martin and betray, Martin also chooses to betray, all 3 would get 0 points.

Once everyone has voted, the results are drawn. If a player drops to 0 points or less, they are killed. If a person reaches 9 points, they can escape and win. If a player doesn't show up for voting, they default to ally. If both parties don't show up to vote, everyone in that group dies.

After a vote, all player colours and pairings are randomized.

For example: Grian and Lizzie might become both Blue Solo, Mumbo and Martin become Blue Pair, Cleo becomes Blue Solo. So in the next vote, it's Grian Vs Lizzie, and Mumbo + Martin Vs Cleo.

Here's the thing, I don't think the series would last very long if everyone had just one life and you only needed 9 points to win. So here's some suggestions that could make it fit into a series:

Idea 1:

All players start with 3 lives and 3 points.

• If a player reaches 0 points, they loose a life. If you lose all your lives you are kicked out of the series.
• If a player reaches 9 points, they gain a life. A new life is gained for every 9 points they get (Next life at 18 and so on)

Idea 2:

All players have unlimited lives for PvE/PvP situations, but will die permanently if they reach 0 points. All players start with 12 points.

• If a player reaches 0 points, they die and are kicked out of the series.
• If a player reaches 24 points, they win the series, leaving everyone behind in the dust.

This system could technically end in 4 episodes, however the chances of someone successfully pulling off 4 betrayals in a row is unlikely. (Maybe Martin could do it)

Idea 3:

All players start with 3 lives and 3 points.

• If a player reaches 0 points, they lose a life.
• If a player reaches 9 points, they are gifted with some excellent loot, and their points are reset back to 3. New loot is given every time they reach 9 points.

During these, players can still die to mobs, players, traps etc. outside of voting.

Why would this work for a life series?

The reason this would work so well for a life series is because it would really explore the dynamic of many players. Typically, most players team up with their friends or people they are used to (but not always), this time, players would be forced to team up with people they usually would not team up with very often.

With the ultimate goal being to try and convince the other person (or manipulate the other person) that you are trustworthy and that you should both vote ally. The voting happening at the end of every episode means that you spend the entire session deciding whether you can trust the other person, or if they can trust you. The groups randomising at the end of each voting is great for transitioning between episodes, where the next episodes starts where the last one left off in terms of player grouping. It would inspire a whole new dynamic between players and really raise the stakes and create for a very interesting series.

If there's anything I missed, I'll add it later. Overall though, this is just an idea, and if Grian sees this and decides it has merit for a series, he is free to include, add or exclude any elements he wishes.

If you have any thoughts or wanted to point out any mistakes or loop holes, let me know so I can fix them.

Thanks for reading!

I’ve watched him for about 6 years now, but I’ve never really thought about it as me being in a fandom up until recently and I was wondering if grian interacts with fanart at all? I noticed his Reddit started being active again only 25 days ago after like 100days, so Im curious if before that he interacted a lot like how solidaritygaming or inthelittlewood do?

I finally got to complete my first Grian fanart! 3rd Life was really fun to watch.

Credits to Cherri Fire for their 3rd Life Grian clothing design, as I have taken some of their elements into this drawing.

i officially have no life
