Boatem Pole

The **Boatem Pole** is a Season 8 structure that is the center of the community in the northern tip of the island (Boatem Town) where GoodTimesWithScar, Grian, ImpulseSV, MumboJumbo, and PearlescentMoon currently reside. It is made up of boats, beds, and a crafting bench at the bottom. PearlescentMoon currently is in charge of the Boatem Pole as she has sat on every boat. It was moved by Grian, GoodTimesWithScar, ImpulseSV, and PearlescentMoon to a more central location as it obscured Grian's starter base. Also, outside of PearlescentMoon's base, she has a boat inside of a block named "Elop Metaob", which is Boatem Pole backwards. She then sat in the boat and became a birthday cake.

Grian, in his episode 26, accidentally spawned a wither, which destroyed most of the Boatem Pole during the battle. Afterwards, as they were surveying the damage around Boatem, Grian said not to worry, this was at least the third or fourth time they've rebuilt the Boatem Pole due to incidents.

## Creation

MumboJumbo placed a crafting table to mark the creation of a new district and GoodTimesWithScar placed a torch on it. A boat was then put atop the torch, with a purple bed on top of it. Boats were then placed on every other block, with support blocks being beds, a grindstone, and an amethyst block. MumboJumbo dubbed it the "Boatem Pole", a pun on the words "boat" and "totem pole."

## Boatem Hole

After it was moved, the four movers used moss blocks to make their way down to bedrock. This hole, known as the Boatem Hole, would be used for sacrifices, like items and goats. They needed a sacrifice, so Grian said that the last one to the top would be it. It seemed that ImpulseSV would be the sacrifice, but PearlescentMoon helped him and it ended up being GoodTimesWithScar. GoodTimesWithScar tried to jump onto a trapdoor that would release him, but he hit his head on the Boatem Pole and fell down. ImpulseSV then made the jump onto the trapdoor but Grian flipped it up, making ImpulseSV also fall to his death, losing 43 experience levels. GoodTimesWithScar fell three more times, and Grian fell but his armour saved him. ImpulseSV continues to work on breaking the bedrock at the Boatem Hole to widen it further. Timmy the Wonder Pig, after being released and ridden around by ImpulseSV, also died in the hole, although ImpulseSV managed to survive using his elytra, Timmy later levitated out of the Boatem Hole from the moons levitation effects, and ImpulseSV kept him as a pet.

Grian later made a "Boatem Meeting Room" in the Boatem Hole using four llamas suspended in the void using leads attached to fence posts. PearlescentMoon was granted an exemption from riding a llama during the first meeting due to her being in the No Wings Club. At this meeting, Grian proposed the Boatem Gigabase, which all members agreed to.

Another meeting room was constructed inside the Boatem Hole. This room holds four corners covered in obsidian in order to protect the walls from end crystal explosions. In this meeting the Boatem Crew planned the corresponding roles for each member for the upcoming Boatem Inc. Grian became the head of meetings and marketing, GoodTimesWithScar became the head of selling, wagons and logistics, PearlescentMoon became the head of architecture and layout, ImpulseSV became the head of industry, and MumboJumbo, who wasn't at the meeting, was declared the CEO of Boatem Inc.

## Goatem Pole

Docm77 created a mockery of the Boatem Pole, dubbed "The Goatem Pole" which was made to be taller than the Boatem Pole, with goats instead of blocks to stack them together. Grian and GoodTimesWithScar later decided to dig a hole around the Goatem Pole and "make it shorter", rather than making the Boatem Pole taller, believing the Boatem Pole too sacred to be changed.

Docm77 wanted to raise the fallen Goatem Pole and with help from few SciCraft Members, he designed a device that would be able to raise the Goatem Pole. Due to Rendog building a spiderboat too low, the Goatem Pole remained shorter than the Boatem Pole.
