GoodTimesWithScar's Secret Life: Episode 1

**I Broke The Game** is GoodTimesWithScar's first episode of Secret Life. It was uploaded on October 20, 2023.

## Plot

Scar starts off the episode at spawn with the rest of the players, doing initial greetings and welcoming GeminiTay to the series. Soon after, the group disperses, with Scar going off to gather some basic materials. He explains that he's looking to set up a base in the mesa biome, as its gold resources could be useful in crafting golden apples.

Not long afterwards, however, the secret tasks are dispensed. Scar's is that he is to call players by anything but their usernames for at least 30 minutes of the session. He tries this out on Joel, but blanks on what to say. He redeems himself not long after, calling TangoTek "Blondie", Bigb "Cookie Man", and Jimmy "Blue Shirt Man"-Stopping by to have a quick conversation with the latter two. While talking to Jimmy, however, "Cabbage Man" (Scott) breaks the duo up, saying they would die instantly if they were to team together.

As night sets, Scar takes his first damage of the season from a baby zombie, of which Joel ("Johnathon") and Jimmy ("Timothy") help to kill. He takes more damage from spiders before the sun rises, in which he bumps into Mumbo ("Mango") and Grian ("Graylin") when picking up their apple. He tells them of his misfortune with his hearts, and Mumbo gifts him his, resulting in Scar thanking him by name. Believing he had broken his streak and therefore failed his task, Grian prompted him to read it carefully.

Scar, interpreting this as "reading it aloud", does so, thus formally failing his task. Grian and Mumbo laugh at his misfortune, saying he could have just reset the 30 minutes and started over again. The trio head up to The Secret Keeper, where they are joined by Skizz. After filling him in on the situation, Grian suggests that since it isn't in the rules, maybe Scar should re-roll for a harder task instead of pressing "fail". After putting it up to a vote, everyone agreed he should be allowed to do so, albeit this is the only exception.

Jimmy and Tango meet up with the group as Scar re-rolls, and his new task is to come up with a nickname for another player and convince two others to use it. The others agree to help him if they're able to catch on to what it is his task may be, and after suggesting Grian be called "The Light of the Server" thanks to his placing of torches, he succeeds. Going back up to The Secret Keeper to reap his rewards, Mumbo and Skizz are both given a piece of ancient debris in thanks for being the ones to lend a hand.

After fighting off a barrage of mobs, Scar makes his departure using a camel egg he had received from his success. Grian sneaks onboard, and Scar admits he doesn't really know where he's going, he just wanted to leave in style. Grian suggests the mesa to look for gold, and in the process the two stumble upon BigB's tunnel. After laughing at how dangerous it was, the two are able to grab some cacti for a supposed monopoly. He drops Grian off in the mesa before visiting Tango and helping him dig out a space. Whilst doing so, Scar hops on the camel again, suffocating in the walls and taking a few hearts of damage.

After a while, Tango makes his leave, saying he has to go turn in his task, to which Scar, and at this point, Grian, are curious about. Scar escorts Tango to The Secret Keeper via camel taxi service, where it's revealed that Tango's task was to get Scar to talk about Star Wars for a minute, which he had been discussing while they dug. The duo then laugh as Jimmy goes to submit his successful task, as he had taken over 10 hearts of damage and therefore didn't get any material goods.

As he heads back to the mesa, Scar runs into Bdubs and Mumbo, seeing they were building upside-down and sideways houses respectively. Taking even more damage suffocating on Mumbo's roof, he leaves to set up his base in the savannah bordering the mesa. He constructs a western-style trading post out of acacia which he dubs Trader Scar's Outpost. Etho stops by after initial construction and attempts to barter for some of his enchanted books. No deal is made in the end, but Scar encourages him to come back when he's gained more valuable materials and they can re-discuss.

Scar continues to work on the build, and not long after, Jimmy accuses him of also building a shack. After reassuring him it's a trading outpost instead, he leaves, only to come back a little later and ask if there's any good trades. After showing him the Feather Falling III book he'd gotten from his task, Scar puts it on hold for Jimmy in the back storage for when he gathers more valuable items. He concludes the episode by showing off the finished build and discussing further plans for the season.
