I think this video (and the decision behind it) has been rolling around in the back of my mind for a while now… The long story short (because of course, when I said out to make a short video, that was impossible for me to do) is that at this juncture, I’m making the conscious decision to go back to a “film a video when I am inspired to do so and post it when it’s done“ production cycle.

You didn’t like how it made you feel.
To be fair, it IS a lot to digest on first listen, I myself wasn't able to appreciate it the first time either guaranteed, which is why it grew to be my favorite, as was the case with probably the majority of Tool songs. I bet she'd be banging her head the 10th listen 🤘😬🤘
Hey! Amazing video! Quick question, are you sure when we talk about enemy pieces we don't take into account buildings and other tokens?
Horizons by Puscifer would be awesome!!
😂 I would WOC 500 miles to hear you sing that again lol
Hahaha, that would be a great way to get around DTS!
Do both expansions fit in box
Live Phish only C’mon now!
This is the best, most compact summary of the game, but the audio balance is awful, the music is so dang loud, it's hard to hear what you're saying.
Yeahhhh… this was before I found WAY better to fit my vibe and voice… also, I largely didn’t know what I was doing when mixing the audio, haha. So sorry :/ but glad the information was still helpful (if a bit difficult to actually hear…)
we're glad for whatever you have time and interest to create. Be kind to yourself, and to OLK, and film when it brings YOU joy
Much appreciated, friend. As excited as I’ve been to work hard to become a somewhat-regularly productive entity, I’m even more excited to go back to “shoot from the hip” mode. Looking forward to whatever comes next whenever the time and inspiration lines up ❤️
Dude this looks amazing! I would like to turn my LTR set collection into something like this. By any chance, can you share the pack lists? Didn't find any on your site. Awesome work!
That's a great idea! I'll put that together and go back and add a link to the video for it. Out of curiosity, is there a website that's a preferred way to share decklists? I'm happy to type things out old school in a word or spreadsheet format, but if I could do it in a way that'll be easier for folks to make use of, might as well do it from the get go. Thanks for watching! The LOTR Jumpstart box has been INCREDIBLY fun!
@@GIVEPAUSEhobbyI'm new to jumpstart format, but I've seen 'jumpstart cubes' on cubecobra. People use tags for each half deck to keep them separated in a clean way. Sorry I just saw your reply, keep up the great content!

You should do “Fuck Authority” by Pennywise!
Oooh, new one to me!
I think at 34:07, when you resolved the Rally, you forgot the word ”ordered” and thus should’ve only moved the moles from clearing 9 (as the order card was mouse)
Play her Swamp song
Hi again 😊 I have been playing through a couple of games ( I call it encounters, its kinda make sense 😅) where I am playing with 5 bots at a time in the games so far with me being solo, its 5th game already. In the recent one I added the Vagabot and was slightly confused as to when should and shouldn't vag would move, but realized from watching the video he/she would move if it requires otherwise they can do the action in the same clearing if the action requirements are met. Keeping a Sheet of the post game stats so far, soon I would like to mix both vags in action making the 7-fractions solo. Thanks for the comprehensive video.
OMG I immediately want to play through my own series of encounters!! How have you done so far?? And yeah, glad the video helped out with the Vagabot, it’s a bit unintuitive until it clicks, and then I’ve found the “moves when necessary” concept is really elegant. Only problem is when the hot makes a bad call and exhausts nearly all it’s items (or literally all of them) to move somewhere only to be too tired to actually do anything once they arrive, haha
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby Hi 😊 I would love to share facts from the encounters, so far I have been playing with the Vag in the last four games and have mostly been dealing with aggressive characters like Ranger and Arbiter. In the last game, the Arbiter rule got wrongly interpreted but I realized that it did not affect the game much, he was involved in an arbitration between the Riverfolk defender and Lizard, but after lending my swords I immediately put myself into infamy with the lizard which was not supposed to happen right? After all, he is only arbitrating in a conflict and not participating in one directly. Anyways the most kills are rendered by the Marquis and the Lizards and the dominance levels in the area are also credited to them as well. However, in the recent game, I have changed my fraction to the Marquis because Marquis has the most challenging gameplay but am only trying to hold my position against the pesky Lizards and not doing much to move ahead in the game. The Lizard convert option is surreal and pretty much handicaps the other players with their pawns. But on the brighter side, I won the last match with the Arbiter with aggressive tactics, there is no stopping a vag with infamy, wicked! Love to share more details with you. And one more thing I am planning to label the Autumn forest with tags with places from my place just to make it feel personal 😄
One more thing as per the law of Root, vag would go to infamy with others in their own turns, does it mean that if they are attacked outside of their turn they do not change their relationships? Secondly, does the Infamy law only occur in my turn, for e.g., if I remove an enemy warrior outside of my turn, then I would not receive the infamy bonus? I am confused there, I made a couple of mistakes with that rule, however, one can never too near to being a master in this game 😅
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby Yes I also found a couple of instances where the bot made wasteful moves just to meet its action requirements and didn't do anything when it reached the target clearing with the target player simply because they exhausted all their items by then, but as per the law of the Root bot, the target player having the highest points are attacked, does that mean if the vagabot with the clearing he/she is in currently has the second highest point fraction present, do they attack them instead or they make the silly move action to reach the clearing with the highest point fraction as usual?

Oh we will! Got some other groups to visit first, but already looking forward to our next visit to the Tool Shed!
Hello from the Tool Army!! I love Maynard's voice, angry or not! Great reaction!!
It’s such a marvelous voice, in all emotions 🎼😈👿
At this point we must ❤ how olk just hates so many things 😂 It's hilarious to watch someone 🤢 on video. SOAD, Slipknot,More RATM PLLLZZZZZZZ
Hahaha, oh, FOR SURE, haha. To me it’s the primary feature of the series and the source of my ongoing enjoyment! And yet even still she finds ways to surprise me with it, hahaha. I’ll for sure bring back more RATM, I’d thought about some SOAD, but Slipknot’s another blindspot for me, maybe that could be one of the double-react videos down the road! Any tracks I should save the name of and _not_ listen to until we’re on camera??
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby Slipknot Duality for our enjoyment and maybe give OLK the Corey Taylor version on Acoustic of Snuff. SOAD - Chop Suey for us SOAD - Aerials for OLK RATM Well that's for us 😆 Oh I know some Candle box, or Audioslave. Give her the live version of 3rd 👁️ by Tool. Maynard needs to be experienced live.
This one started it all for me. Still one of my favorites. Really hope Kate gives The Grudge another chance. Take care, guys!👍🤘
Honestly, I completely overlooked how good it was compared to some of my other favorite parts of Lateralus. But returning to it now has totally rekindled and eclipsed my previous enjoy-but-don’t-love rating from back then. It’s so friggin good. Thanks for checking it out!
If you want natural Maynards voice, then check out "The Humbling River" and "The Remedy" by Puscifer. Beautiful songs with Carina Round.
Oooooh, nice! My Puscifer listening library is shamefully small (kinda like me falling off with Perfect Circle after Mer de Noms), so I appreciate the recommendations! We’re definitely gonna make a stop in Maynard’s third act, maybe one of those!
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby The Remedy is an excellent tune, great lyrics, great vocals, and a really strange and interesting (not creepy) video.
Dissonance is the aesthetic of Schism, reiterated by Maynard saying "In the Dissonance", followed by a dissonant note
Might just be my favorite little tidbit of all of their music. And there are so, so many.
Completely right. I love it so much.
It’s such a great little moment in the music.
I'm a toolthusiast at Tool Army
Hahaha, NOICE.
OLK would really like Puscifer. Way more “nice” Maynard ! And Carina Round also has a lovely voice. When they both harmonize it’s quite magical to the ears. 😌
I feel the same way!! I’m not all that experienced with Puscifer, but two of my favorites I’ve heard so far have been Green Valley and Conditions of My Parole. Are there any songs you’d specifically recommend, given OLK’s proclivities?
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby Horizons, Momma Sed, The Rapture, Oceans, Dear Brother, Bohemian Rhapsody (cover), The Humbling River, Polar Bear, Potions, and The Indigo Children. There’s plenty more, but idk how comfortable you’d be playing them on your platform lol. They get pretty wild at times haha
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby I’ve seen them every time they’re within a 6-8 hour drive from Nashville. Awesome live sound and the production is bonkers haha!
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa… “Nice Maynard?” There is no “nice” Maynard. We don’t want no stinking nice Maynard! 😆 Glad to see you two back!
Not gonna lie, that exact thought was going through my head, hahaha. I was gonna gloss over it, but then when she made the generalization about "just yelling" I couldn't let that stand. He's so distinct! And yes, I agree that we don't want no stinkin' nice Maynard, we want __MAYNARD__ :)
Of course we have a name! It's TOOL Army!
OMG WTF, me!? Hahahahahaha
Correct
After the grudge reaction I had some worries about this video but everything went pretty well! Cheers! 🌀🌀🌀👏👏👏👍👍👍
Right!? I was wondering if the “effects” vocals would be too much of a killer but they weren’t! Huzzah!!
I love me some RATM (and Maynard for what that's worth) but honestly Know Your Enemy has never been one of my favorites. I've always found the sudden changes in rhythm and style can make it hard to settle into a groove, and I imagine that's amplified when it's your first time listening to any RATM song. So yeah, I'm kind of with OLK on this one.
Haha, valid point, for sure. OLK was happy to have someone in her corner, thanks for watching and for commenting!
My only question is still in regards to the very top portion of the “battle” portion of the decree. “The Defender is the player with the most buildings there even zero”. What in the world is this in reference to? Choosing clearing or choosing defender? Because we already have tiebreakers for each of these on their own, and neither of them mention buildings on their own at all. Seems like a completely meaningless but confusing statement to include there.
Not meaningless at all, “most buildings” is the initial deciding variable for figuring out the defender of the Battle action. The tiebreakers below only come into play if there are two different players both tied for most buildings in the clearing. The reason “even zero” is included is to ensure opponent factions in Eyrie clearings aren’t magically immune to Battle just because they don’t have buildings (ie if the “most buildings” is zero buildings, then we check the tiebreakers below and someone’s still getting roughed up… but the birds just wanna ensure that anyone WITH buildings gets roughed up first… cuz you know, rampant and toxic expansionism)
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby thanks for quick response. Let me ask it this way. Are we supposed to decide the clearing or the “defender”(faction) first? That is what the rulebook leaves out in place of the quoted sentence above.
My assumption (that I have been playing with) is just to completely ignore the sentence about the defender having the most buildings, and instead choose CLEARING FIRST, and then go to clearing tie breakers, then once clearing has been determined, pick DEFENDER SECOND and go to the defender tie breakers if necessary. This is how the rules should be laid out if that is the intended aim, and even if I am playing it wrong, I would imagine the difference to be negligible. Still, I hope eventually people will reach some kind of consensus on this because no one has asked it anywhere on here, reddit, or BGG as far as I can tell. Thanks
In the creation of these teaching videos, when I've reached out to the original designer of the ROOTbots Benjamin Schmauss, one of the well-worn pieces of advice that has proven to be the most beneficial in my use of these bots (and has guided the creation of these videos) is to take the writings on the board and the rulebook literally. If something is written before something else, that in and of itself is a direction of priority; the boards have limited space, so not everything can be doubly-explained when it can otherwise be assumed to take place in the order it's written. In the case of the Bird Battle, I think a consensus is pretty well reached, as it's how it's laid out on the card and in the rulebook. For each column (each suit), they will battle in a matching clearing against the player with the most buildings (including zero). That sets the stage for where it will take place and who they will target. Down below, the tiebreakers are presented in that order as well (and how the more detailed instructions are laid out in ROOTbot par. 5.5 III a-e). So in order, the robo-birds will... Look for a clearing matching the current suit with bird warriors and enemies. Assuming there is one, check the clearing tiebreakers to decide between multiple options of clearings of that suit. Once the clearing has been found, they target the player with the most buildings (and in the case of a tie, consult the defender tiebreakers). Repeat this process for all columns with order cards in them. As for the "negligible difference" about the order of targeting defending and clearing, it's actually kind of huge. For the birds, priority to their spreading forces is the driving force of threat for other players; it actually doesn't really matter who's in the lead on the points track, the birds will go toe to toe with anyone within their reach, primarily targeting clearings at the outer limits of their zone (due to the "clearings without roosts" tiebreaker) and focusing on build-heavy factions and/or playstyles. Take the robo-lizards as an example of the opposite. For their Conspiracies, you're deliberately told to determine the target player first, and only then figure out the clearing. This is much more reactive to the victory conditions and how players are doing and true to the lizards' play style, much less predictable from an adjacency standpoint. Following the order of operations on which to determine first (player or clearing), the meatbags in the game are provided important information about the bots' priorities. Players can have all the buildings, pieces and VPs they want, so long as they aren't within reach of the birds. But if lizards are in the game, location on the map means nothing, so players out in front on the VP track beware. Hopefully this was helpful. Again, read everything literally. Order of words and steps matters, because a great deal of time and effort was put into paring down the verbiage on the boards to prevent overload. Most of the time this works out just fine, but other times a somewhat vague board instruction requires reading through the Law of ROOTbotics (which in this case does a great job of laying out exactly how these decisions should be made). There are a scant few examples of times when neither of these readings provide fully satisfactory results, which have led to Benjamin's creation of the Director's Cut bot boards and/or my inclusion of PROTIPs and alternate readings in those sections of the rules in my videos.
Hi, thanks for long response. I am going to divide my response in two so we don’t get confused. The first part will be just in regards to how the rulebook is written, the second will be on executing the rules correctly. 1) Do you see how the rulebook saying the defender is the player with the most buildings is confusing in a game with 12 clearings, divided by suit to groups of 4, and divided further by the fact you will only actually battle in one clearing per column of the decree? A player could have 5 buildings on the board, but only one of them is in a fox clearing and you are on the fox battle stage of the decree. On the other hand, there could be a player with only 3 buildings on the board, but all of them are in fox clearings, and fox clearings that have eyrie warriors on top of it, hence battleable. Who is going to be the defender based off this rule alone? Its completely unclear. Luckily we have other rules and context clues to guide us (such as target legaility, etc.) but the sentence alone is more or less meaningless. This is the reason I have been choosing clearing FIRST (and resolving tiebreakers) then defender SECOND (and resolving tiebreakers) and ignoring that sentence. 2) Based off of your third paragraph, I think we are ultimately still playing the exact same (and correct) way in that clearing is indeed chosen before defender is ever considered, and the choice of defender is SPECIFICALLY based off the clearing that has been chosen in the “clearing step”. The rulebook should just simply state that and remove the confusing sentence. Thanks!
So many thoughts (as I effing love TOOL as well) Yet, I truly hope a Bluey TOOL, Bluey Rage, and/or… Bluey TOOL Rage mashup happens. Thank you for sharing this!
So glad you checked it out and liked it! Dude, Bluey-Tool would be the absolute greatest, here’s hoping! Hopefully our antics (well, my antics and Kate’s faces, LOL) inspired a laugh, my friend! Doom Star of Doom, signing out 😈

LOL
Hey thanks for making these. I don’t find in the law, on the player board or in your videos how to run conspiracies when the order is bird. Where am I missing this?
Sorry for the huge delay, but it’s actually super easy (and kind of brutal): it says “In an ordered clearing…” so if the order card is bird, that could be in _any_ clearing. You’ll have to look over the whole table to see which breaks the tiebreakers… remember, first you target the player, and only then do you look for the clearing that they’re present in to take the conspiracy against them. So if the order card was bird and you’re moving into Convert, if Cats and Birds are tied for most points at 25 each, you’d first go to the unwritten super secret player tiebreaker (setup order) and target Cats. Then, if Cats are in clearings 1-6, you look for the clearing with the most buildings. Let’s say 1 and 3 both have two buildings and that’s the most, then you use the super secret clearing tiebreaker (1 >>> 12) and you WOULD replace a cat with a lizard in 1, but if the Keep is still there, you’d target 12 instead (because you can’t place pieces into the clearing with the Keep in it).
@@GIVEPAUSEhobby thanks! That makes sense and it was I went with. I was just confused because the other bots all seemed to have explicit instructions for bird order. Thanks dude!!
No worries at all! Yeah, the other ones (like Escalated Daylight for the cats) are all extra spicy to emulate the power of the bird cards for us meatbags, but for the lizards, I’ve always assumed the fact that the conspiracies can suddenly target anyone ANYWHERE was enough of a threat, haha
Hey thanks for making these. I’m new to root and the bots. Cw1 was sold out so I got cw2. Trying to play my first game with logical lizards and riverfold robots. Where in the law of robotics or the bot player boards does it say what to do when the order is bird?
Sorry again for the delay, I responded to your other comment about the bird order card. Long story short is bird order card means ALL clearings are in play, so you’ll be using your tiebreakers for those Conspiracies quite a bit. Have fun!!!
Break up with her
Nah man, I love her more with every one of these videos. I don’t need my partner to like the same things I do, I need her to be funny, passionate, and with thick enough skin to try new things and “discuss it afterwards.” I’m with Old Lady Kate for the long haul 100%, my dude.
Kyle, kudos to your progression in editing. lol. That cut to you doing the robot killed me 😂 haha. Bravo Kyle.. Bravo
Thanks so much!! Yeah, I feel like I’m getting better at manipulating the videos to fit the (lengthy) conversations after the reactions. It’s been super fun unlocking these new skills and level of confidence to use them. Thanks for watching, and that was easily one of my favorite parts, too 😂
Watching someone hate this song and someone love it at the same time was hilarious. Great video! RATM/Tom Morello forever 🤘
Dude, RATM and Tom Morello forever for SURE. Yeah man, this series has been such a blast because of that dichotomy. Obviously there have been times when we were both on the same page (notably the first ever episode with Tool’s “The Pot”), but honestly, the ones where our opinions just separate and wander so far apart are SUPER fun to edit and watch, hahaha
Tom Morello and Adam Jones went to high school together and were also in a band called Electric Sheep. Have you heard Deftones - Passenger featuring Maynard?
Not until now! Deftones is a group that I was in close proximity to (I remember my friends being ALL ABOUT White Pony) but I never really got into. Thanks for the recc!
OLK's eye roll, when the guitar solo (and air guitar) started was hilarious.
Hahahaha, right!? There were some amazing moments waiting for Editing Kyle with this one!
That went slightly better than I expected, but not much.
LOL well alright then. Happy to just barely exceed expectations.
@GIVEPAUSEhobby Sorry, didn't mean to come off negative, forgot the "lol" at the end. I just didn't think OLK would vibe to angry punk rap and Whammy Pedal soloing. James Taylor to Zach De La Roche seemed a stretch. The eyerolls, nose wrinkling, sneers of disgust, and exasperated cheek puffing were fun to watch, though. Probably similar to how I looked the first time an ex tried to feed me kapusta soup.
No worries at all, if I came across too exasperated in my response, I didn't mean to. OLKR has definitely crystalized into a venue for us (mainly Kate) to share our quickest, basest, oftentimes most critical responses for the sheer fun of seeing where the conversation leads. Glad you enjoyed the cornucopia of facial expressions, haha. Lots more where those came from!
I was about to suggest a harder song from Mer de Noms that might be more up OLK's alley, but it sounds like you already know the song she needs to hear next. Can't wait for that.
Haha, me neither!!
Their 2nd album is one of the best albums ever. But "eat the elephant" is....... Not great lol
Always been interested in what else was out there, so I’m glad to be back on the hunt. But yeah, heard not all that comes after is gold, that’s for sure, haha
Oddly enough, I never got into MTG, but I respect and appreciate the nerdy obsessiveness on display here. Storage solutions and flow charts are my jam. Keep up the nerdy good work
Thanks so much! I love playing this crazy project a TON but honestly, at least half of what has driven me forward is my love of this _deep_ storage solution, hahaha
30 min on the naughty step for her and no talking
Hahaha, we take all comers here at OLKR HQ, even if they’re not fans of drum solos, haha
I literally said "every fucking time" at the same time Kate did lmao
Hahahaha, god bless the internet for connecting like minds, haha
Haha, here for a Maynard show on the WB! Love the lyrics in 3 Libras. Maybe more of an antidote for grunge phase where there was a lot of straightup screaming vocalists. Song though reminded me of old, missed ex-es. Most anyway. Makes me sad every time listening. So many times feeling unseen and that's the worst. But I'm really cranky about my sign. Yeah, I’m a Libra. Everyone other sign gets a cute critter, a mythic beast, or some deity. What do Libras get? Scales? Come on! Who decided that?! Neil Peart is the most obv drum solo. There’s the famous one of him in Frankfurt. But I prefer the epic YYZ live version because it’s integrated into the song. Yeah, I gave you two because I’m a Libra and they look equal so I can’t decide! 😆
Watched this live again! Man, U think OLK would eat up baby Maynard's vocals. Precious. Chills. Like Pearl Jam's “Black” Unplugged. The Jay Leno Show version is a blast. Great audio too. ua-cam.com/video/PDTW3vZ-R_4/v-deo.htmlsi=9ZIlk3PVBNs7vizy
Oh man, thanks so much for watching and for the great recs!! Yeah, sorry for the lame sign logo… kinda hard to embody _scales_ but you’re doing a god job by offering multiple options of things, very on brand 😁 But heck yes! Some YYZ would be super fun to watch, I have no idea what type of faces/comments Rush would elicit!
