But when referring to a mullet, the saying has always been "business in the front, party in the back" So I guess either is acceptable.

Legend speaks of the monolith's origins shrouded in mystery, its construction a feat of ancient prowess lost to time. Some whisper of gods carving its imposing form, while others claim it was the labour of giants. Regardless of its genesis, one thing remains certain: the monolith stands as a silent sentinel, outlasting hermits and their empires that once thrived in its shadow. As civilisations rise and fall, the monolith remains unyielding, a testament to endurance and the passage of ages.

There's a common phrase "comparison is the thief of joy", but I think here comparison creates joy. Iskall's new tower seems absolutely freaking awesome, because it replaced one of the most hideous things on the server.

I for one love when the Hermits use custom model hats rather than just wearing plain jane helmets. Adds more character. especially when its in the style of what theyr eworking for the season. I wish more hermits would use custom models like Scar mainly does with his hats. And what the Empires server did to match their empires

Instead of tearing it down, you should launch it into space & preserve that beautiful piece of garba- I mean art. Edit: Stress is becoming Grian, first she doesn't do the back (15:32), next she'll cause the server war. Be wary of her, you're probably next

You could put a doorway(seamless piston or normal) at the bottom of the monolith with scaffolding on the inside so people can go up as if it’s a museum. The monolith of memories

I said this on the Vodskall video, but here it is again: Hey Iskall, Beef saying it was you that killed the Swede is wrong. Here’s why: there’s a term in law called “by proxy” which basically means if one person induces a second to act, and the second unintentionally harms a third party, the first may be held accountable. So if someone kidnaps your child and you attack them, and accidentally hurt the child, it could be ruled that it is the kidnapper’s fault. This is basically what happened with the Swede. You can take that to court (don’t please I’m not a lawyer)
