Secret Life SMP | Ep.1 | KEEP IT A SECRET! 

My thoughts exactly!

No literally it was so perfect and he really pushed the weird, awkward, and suspicious vibe that this season is giving. Now most of them are just acting plain sus 24/7 despite the tasks 😂

@@Ringingalong7008 this!

I’d hardly call it complete. If said all the way down. Meaning to bedrock and he didn’t reach bedrock therefor he cheated

I’ve been making my way through each independent view of the story for that exact reason.

i actually thought he was telling the truth to jimmy because i watched his video first

im almost convinced the task he showed on screen was a decoy but like.... why. i havent watched everyones POV yet but why is his secret a different colour to everyone elses? does anyone else have the red one instead??? im 👀

​@@emryspaperartBigB is so effective on making people overthink that he even got you to overthink even his task colour

I watched grian first and I was utterly confused by what big B was doing

​@@emryspaperartI think the colour is to do with the type of task. But what the different types are is still unclear to me. It could be scaled to how interaction dependant it is, but it could also be about the danger, or even about the normal intent in other series. Big B has a task that involves no social interaction, that could do a lot of hearts of damage if he accidentally finds a cave, and that would definitely be a trap if it was in any other series. My money is on the latter reason, with it being about the normal purpose/intent, but time will tell.

yes.

And a red task on top of that... Not even scar's hard secret was red

@@cid_of_aro_ace_krebsWhat does it mean being red

​@@cid_of_aro_ace_krebsI'm pretty sure it's a glitch and he got a task for red lifers, the challenges are meant to encourage socialising but this task could be used as a very nice death trap, which red lifers love killing people

@@cid_of_aro_ace_krebswhat’s a red task

@@cid_of_aro_ace_krebs: I noticed that too, and he delayed reading it as well. Not to mention that Grian said over on his channel that task suggestions are all supposed to be social. Also, there's the fact that "all the way down" seriously implies to bedrock, but BigB just decides to halfass it when the going got even a little difficult. I'm really wondering if the red task means he was supposed to keep it a secret even from the audience and we are all being gaslit.

That hole is going to kill so many people, I imagine.

Chekhov's 3x3 Hole

I reckon first death will be Martin. Memories of a past season in which he fell down an Etho pilot hole. :-)

It really will play a pivotal hole

@@ottmosphere I really dig that pun

And it being so unnecessary 😭

He was just doing his gaslight gatekeep girlbossing 😌😌

For real, it was so funny. Btw, love your art, Cherri!

I love harmless, unnecessary lying

He is doing a good job at actually keeping things a proper secret and I love it. And how confused everyone is is hilarious.

He completed his task, got his hearts back, and then promptly lost back down to like 19. I was really hoping Jimmy wasn’t going to be Jimmy this season, but at this point I’m not optimistic. Come on Jim! Get it together! BigB, Messing with grian, A+.

Do y’all remember the friend or foe

Hehe

There is no hole in BigB's base

Schrodinger's hole

@@izzylapolla6738 there might be a base in the hole though.

Watch out Cleo, there’s a new gaslight in this series

@@izzylapolla6738 "There is no war inside Ba Sing Se."

Wassup Dom! I'd recognize that MW Chippy Pfp anywhere. Doubt you recognize me though

@@Orion_44 oh hey! no i do recognize you, you've commented on some of my first videos and I think my latest one. Funny seeing you here, but the venn diagram isn't so odd

My guess for the task was "dig a big hole and, but deny that it is your doing"

That being said that would be a GREAT task and I can't believe no one (from the povs I've seen) guessed that his task was just to lie or be secretive lmao

Same lol, I thought that's what his task was hahaha

From grian's pov I thought his task was to answer incorrectly to every question for the way he was gaslighting him so hard lol

@@abrilzanassi yeah I thought it was something like that too! I hope bigB acts like this for every task cause it’s too funny

The audacity is insane

I have to see what the heck happened when he was talking to Jimmy and suddenly disappeared. 😂

I went back and rewatched both Jimmy & BigB's episodes and the only thing I can guess is that BigB is the boogeyman (or the imposter 😂)

@@AngyFirebomb Yeah my guess is that red tasks are this season's version of boogeyman, and that the next episode he'll get a task to drop someone down the hole or something

Grian is my main person to watch and the first thing I did when I was done with his video was to see what B was actually doing lmao

@@Aresie271 I'm just about done with all Episode 1 POVs. This guy is a *menace.* It's giving Dr. Strange, but if he was actually a Strange Doctor. 🤣🤣

Not even lying, I’ve probably never seen a single one of his videos ever, but the utter confusion I saw from like three other perspectives made me visit his channel just to figure out what his role was Lol.

SAME

@@Piggus_Porkus honestly i came here for the sole reason to know what the task was after watching ALL others perspectives and povs

Nice pun in that first sentence ^^

Same watched like 3 different perspectives until deciding to come see what his secret was 😭

Yessssss, this needs to be his thing this series

labyrinth of doors. Since the floor of the base is cobble and stone, maybe it could even have a secret navigation system? Like, follow doors with cobble right next to them to get to the exit?

Literally the backrooms. I support this.

Lol

backrooms

It could be tied to the fact he was gaslighting a lot this episode👀

The symbol, which looks suspiciously like the symbol the Watchers used to identify themselves back in EVO

Maybe the secret keeper contains the watchers

I don't know, but I think the red paper might have been a glitch, it's probably not supposed to be red until player are at their last life. Grian did say that players on their last life will get "special" tasks. I'm assuming that means they'll get tasks that are dangerous for other players. But yeah, they're probably chosen for each day. It's hard to say how random they are, but considering one task was "follow Gem for ten minutes", and another was "get Scar to talk about Star Wars" they can't be that random. Since they can name specific players in the tasks they at least have to have a system that makes sure they don't get tasks about themselves. And Lizzie got a task which would have been a lot more difficult and funny for anyone else, since she has her husband on there that task was way too easy for her and didn't seem all that random. Etho got a task that was not at all suited to be a day one task though, but it would have been fairly easy later on, so I don't know.

I think the 2nd episode could clear more up on this task system confusion. I don't know if the red paper is intentional or not, but if you see it as such then it might mean something to the wider narrative I initially thought that 1 person each session would have such a task, which would be non-descript and required to be kept a secret permanently, but BigB's demeaner throughout makes this hard to judge.

There is no hole in Ba Sing Se (Big B's Base)

@@pencils7351 I was praying for someone to say this!! Can’t believe everyone missed the opportunity LOL it even has the same amount of syllables with Ba Sing Se and BigB’s Base

Glad I’m not the only person who immediately thought of this

lmao I literally said "through the mountainnn" out loud after he said "secret tunnel!" xD glad i'm not the only one who thought of that ahaha

Jimmy and Scar 😢

do you mean brain cell?

​@@JacobGilmour17he has two he said so himself

He now has not a single Grain.

@@Well_ItsChaos oh he’s grown another one? back in hermitcraft season 7 he said that he and scar combined have two braincells. that’s good to know, braincells is a great thing, the more the merrier

Grian's last Brian cell.

"All the way down" in minecraft can only mean one thing when you're talking about digging holes. Even the way it was written, "Dig a 3 x 3 hole. All the way down." It put emphasis on all the way down because we all know what that means. I think bigb just wanted to be done because digging a hole is boring, and I can't really blame him for that, however I also think he should have taken the fail instead of interpreting the task as loosely as he felt like.

It could have been stated more clearly, but let's be honest here, "All the way down" is hard to interpret as anything other than "to bedrock"

All that I said above being said, another way to look at this is that since he fully committed to gaslighting everyone else about the hole he dug, he could be considered to have completed a social task. Granted, it's a task he gave HIMSELF for no apparent reason, but still it fits in perfectly with the social element of the game whereas just straight up digging a hole does not. From this perspective, I feel fine with granting BigB a W for this session.

@@voracionI can't help but agree with that. I thought the same thing myself

I feel like if the task meant bedrock, it would have said bedrock. All of these tasks have a focus on the social element. I feel like the point of "all the way down" is just so when other people come across the hole it's deep enough to freak them out. whether that's 50 blocks, or 80, or 130, doesn't really matter.

absolutely love those ideas ahaha, it would be so funny if BigB was just absolutely unpredictable and confusing throughout the series xD

@@niiikaaa21 BigB the SCP

Someone will definitely fall down.

Same

I just wanted to know what his task actually was

Same!

Same XD I watched like 4 POV’s so far and two had BigB in his gaslighting phase but j in bad NO idea what his task was 😂😂😂

Put that under grians video he’s taking suggestions there

sewer cats moment

Or Hermit Challanges. I think it was Grian who build a secret base in impulses massive pyramid base on the water, in season 7.

challanges 🧠

​@@Penny-16That is correct and given Grian organizes these series' I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't already a challenge.

Same

Same!

Omg same XD

I agree. Whoever came up with the concept is a genius since it’s making everyone act so weird and entertaining. Plus the bonus of wanting to see everyone’s video to see what their secret is. It’s also hilarious watching other people’s pov and wondering why people are acting a certain way. For example, Skizz acting like a creep. That was funny to see all sides of that.

I saw another comment saying it might have been a glitch- BigB was accidentally given a red name task It makes sense to me, because that hole can be used as a task. But its just an idea *shrug*

@@OrcaGamer88 I rewatched it and didn't notice any other graphics being wrong or the wrong colour in his episode compared to others hence why I think it is purposeful. I could be wrong though. 😊 I am thinking maybe each episode a random person will get given the red scroll and it will be a ludicrous sounding task that maybe has a loop hole if you think creatively. His so far (out of who I have watched, about 10 or so perspectives so far) has been the only 1 that has seemed like it was a non social task, as in like including others. Which I know Grian wants the tasks to be good for content and include other players if possible. I guess we will find out next week if someone else gets a red task. My brain likes to find patterns and odd things out so just trying to keep an open mind with ideas! But you are right, it could just be a glitch. 😊

@@dabadllama yeah, that's a good point. This whole thing adds an extra layer of excitement to the series XD, I can't wait for Episodes 2 to figure this out

@@thequire9809 ohhhhh. Man, that's a lot less exciting. XD Well thank you for telling us

@@OrcaGamer88 yeah, I wish it was something special too lol

Thats a good idea..Maybe it might be used to kill someone in a later task?

I would love to see a “part 2” task

Maybe it has some sort of lore significance eventually? Also, Grian was saying he wanted a way to get to the End in this map so maybe there's some tasks relating to that as well? I noticed this too and based on the Evo references this might be a very lore-y series, I'm excited for all the theories

@@Rubyfireruby your a genius!it did say did a 3x3 hole aswell,and that is the size of the end portal…

Ooooo! A plot task! I like it!

He seems to be the only one very good at actually keeping it a secret like he is suppose to without hinting his task the whole episode lol. 😂

It could be interpreted as "big hole that could kill"..

I agree with this. It is important for these challenges to be articulate. This task did not use a measurable term like “all the way down to bedrock”, but rather, used a more vague term.

I disagree, "all the way down" is pretty self explanatory. he coulda used a waterbucket to safely delve into the cave

​@@WGGplanttbh that task in itself wouldve been pretty ridiculous to do for how much of the session it wouldve eaten up. bedrock is a lot further down than it used to be. it wouldve been his whole episode

@@WGGplantwhile it is self explanatory, he could pass due to technicality since it didn’t specify how deep. For example, people could interpret it as all the down to the caves or end portal.

I noticed that too and have commented it and have been looking for another comment mentioning the secret scroll colour difference!!!! Wonder what it means too.

His task was the only one that didn't require socializing or whatsoever so there's that.

it was a texture pack glitch, grian mentioned on the reddit.

@@dabadllamaIt was a texture glitch

@@demonking3673 yeah I found out. But thank you for letting me know. 😊

I don't think it was that vague. All the way down means "down, all the way." The obvious way you are down all the way in minecraft is bedrock. You can interpret it as vague if you don't want to do the work, because even he was thinking bedrock until he ran across the cave.

Grian and the other RU-vidrs will judge if it was enough. I definitely thought "All the way down" meant bedrock, but everyone else seems fine with giving him the benefit of the doubt. It was a weird challenge for sure, and quite boring. I can understand/respect why he wanted to stop.

There were blocks below him in that cave, he did not dig everything below him in that 3x3

Yeah should have just dug those last layers to the cavern and I would've called it complete

But that’s isn’t actually all the way. It’s deep but it’s not *All* and water elevator would be so easy too.

I love the Jimmy trolling.

If the Secret Keepers wanted you to dig the hole to bedrock, they should've specified. A hole is a hole. 🕳

@@garbagedataraccoonplease don’t say it like that

@@someoneunknown7655 You tell Scar to stop complimenting BigB's hole first!

Thanks!

Agreed

Exactly!

The mechanical difference between his current dig and one that goes to bedrock is straight up negligible, except for the fact that he'd have had to spend 50% longer getting up and down. It hit a logical stopping point and nobody would have reacted to it any differently if it was any deeper.

however since the task was on red paper, it seems special. It might be best to stay on the safe side of "playing along" and finish it to bedrock for good measure

But that makes for a terrible video... it does make sense for it to be down to bedrock but it doesn't feel like the task too well thought out in the first place since it would be dangerous and take like the whole session, meaning he wouldn't be able to interact with anyone or gather any resources. Would you want to watch a whole video of someone sitting in a 3x3 hole on their own digging all the way down to bedrock? I feel like it should've been a hard task if the hole definitely *had* to go all the way down to bedrock so there should be some leniency. And as grian said, the rules in this series are merely suggestions.

@@the-arctic-wolf1438 I agree some of the tasks were poorly thought out, like this one and skizzleman's

@@AndrewBrownK yeah i mean i totally dont blame them for one or two vague or weaker tasks or anything! but i feel like its definitely an honour thing to judge themselves whether they've completed some of the tasks, like with impulses challenge too

That's a really good interpretation, it makes the fact that it was described as a "big" hole make a lot more sense. Why call it big if you're going to give it a set width AND depth?

loved the video btw
