      She always sounds like she's lying, even when she's telling the truth. She never backs her claims up with anything solid, even when she could. Y'know what it is? She gets emotional about it. She gets whiny and flustered and sounds like a manipulative bitch and people react to that because "calm down the flustered young woman" is a thing that gets wired into our brains.

    I did a poor job of explaining the Mastermind here, so I thought I'd own up to it like a big boy and explain myself. I said "if they execute no-one, the evil team wins". This is, in fact, not the case. Evil team has to push for the execution of a good player. If no-one is executed, the good team wins. Essentially, the baddies have been given one extra day to push for the execution of a good player. A 'hail Mary' pass, if you like.

      This would suggest that if no-one is executed, the '1 more day' ends and, since the Demon is dead and the special Mastermind win/loss condition hasn't been met, evil loses.

      Tell me about it. The one kill he got was reversed as well, so really he didn’t kill anyone, the 4 deaths that stuck were both from Gossips and executions, with the good team being 2 for 2 on executing baddies. That was the most one sided game of BoTC I have ever seen, through no fault of Dom, just that getting drunk by the Courtier, exorcised by the Exorcist, drunk by the Minstrel, then exorcised again, he never caught a break.

    If only Isaac and Dom had talked and he knew Isaac was the mastermind, he would've realized he could've gone along with Blair's nomination on him day 1, leading to a very probable day 2 win when Blair's positive gossip information results in a kill emulating the demon and she assumes her gossip was incorrect. Then they just have to get them to execute any townsfolk at all and nobody except the biggest galaxy brains would think the mastermind was already in play on day 2 and they just so happened to execute the demon day 1.

      Its that, the exorcist Luke have chosen a "demon" Laurie or the fool Elliott might think they have stopped a kill and a gossip kill. So I think the demon is still alive and killing. Still it would be nice if the DA Angela go for that kill too since she knows there is a mastermind in play. And like what Ben said, Angela could have went ahead and confirm the "role" of sailer when she protected Dom.

      He also panicked about being killed the first day, but said he'd drunk with someone else. If he'd checked on day 1 that Angela would protect him on night 2, he could have told Blair on day 2 that he hadn't wanted to risk accidentally making a first night information role drunk, and drunk with himself that first night. Suddenly he has an excellent excuse for not wanting to be executed on day 1, and can "prove" he's the sailor on day 2 by surviving execution.

    Such a weird game. Evil were just too quiet, didn’t throw out any misinformation. Dom as the bluffed Sailor is a great way of getting the good team to mistrust their information. Isaac as the bluffed Pacifist has a great excuse for Angela’s failed execution. Angela as the bluffed grandmother could have justified Isaac as a good player.
    Evil had bad luck too, but it was the quietness that just made easy leads for good to call out the evil players. Everybody else in the circle called out what they were and why you should believe them.

      Evil lost for many reasons in this one, but their biggest mistake was not coming up with a better plan for bluffing Grandmother. If evil is going to bluff Grandmother, they have to use it to back up another evil player's bluff. Angela has to be Dom the Sailor's grandmother or Isaac the Pacifist's grandmother. The game really unraveled once Angela was caught in the obvious lie of "I'm the grandmother who didn't bother to talk to their grandchild for 2 entire days."

      Having played a good amount of Blood on the Clocktower -- this is a common occurrence. You're never 100% sure of what's going on, so games often devolve into debates about what "possible worlds" there could be and how do we hedge one against the other. It's probably the worst thing about the game because if one person tunnels on something that isn't true, they can seriously delay the game by trying to ensure a 100% chance of victory instead of taking the 95% shot.

I love these things but that really imbalanced the game when she conspired while evil to switch to the good team. I feel I’ve seen Ben warn people in other games that that’s not allowed. It forced the storytellers to really start doing crazy shit to keep it going. Killed a lot of suspense and back and forth momentum.

They've deduced that the demon is Dom, that he's a Po, that Angela is the Devil's Advocate, and they're suspicious of Isaac... So what craziness could happen next that stretches this game out for another hour??? Let's see!

    The Debonair Minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    All of you demons,
    Don't give me no guff
    or you'll have to deal with the minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    So pass me that pipe
    on which I shall puff
    That hella cool minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    They say I'm too much
    I say I'm not enough
    That confident minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    They say I'm a furry
    but I just like fluff
    the cuddly minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    I practice my lyrics
    til I'm mentally buff
    the powerful minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    I'm writing down lyrics
    but they're all off the cuff
    the improvised minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    My sexual preference
    is I like it rough
    The oversharing minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    My partner's with child
    yes she's up the duff
    the unprophylactic minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    I can't afford childcare
    I don't earn enough
    Impecunious minstrel
    of Ravenswood Bluff
    This game never ends
    these people are idiots
    the incredulous minstrel
    of Ravenswood Blidiots
    I'm the minstrel, I'm the minstrel
    Demon Dom is in bits
    I'm the minstrel, I'm the minstrel
    You can all kiss my grits.
    What more can I say?
    We kicked Dom's behind.
    Now we only need heed
    that damn Mastermind
    So if we stay our hands
    and the village stays tough
    I'll still be the minstrel

    • @Pauavi
      @Pauavi Рік тому +1

      I think there was no way to successfully claim Isaac as Pacifist Grandchild being that it was somewhat late into the game, after he "revealed" to Carley, where actually having a Pacifist would have been disadvantageous to the Evils because it would beg the question, why would Storytellers have a Pacifist ability proc when Goodies are obviously winning?
      Angela not knowing the other Townies' characters also makes sense as to why she didn't just choose one at random - either if she wanted to protect Dom/Isaac specifically or if she wanted to somehow guess someone's exact role (maybe would have been good to pick Blair as grandchild as it was obvious she was Gossip). What she should have done was pick a character that she knew was a Demon Bluff!!

    @sebastianjohnen9654 3 роки тому +23

    Loved watching. The group and their unique relationships and quirks are a great watch and the game, especially with the video setup, is just perfect to draw out and showcase them.
    Regarding the game. I think this showss as usual, you can always help good later, but evil needs help early. I think Carley was the wrong kill for the gossip. The Fool would have been best, with Luke or Brooke a good second.
    I can understand not wanting to kill characters with one time abilities that have not been used, and it might seem like it was fair to keep the field wide after Blairs gossip. But Luke and Brooke are good targets for the professor, so having unused abilities is not that important.
    But most importantly, killing Carley established a circle of trust between her and Adam and confirmed them both very quickly. A very bad thing for evil. If Carley had not died, she would have been an alive goon. Good would have needed to execute her to keep her from becoming evil again. Possibly triggering a Godfather. If they wanted to double tap her in case of Zombul, it would have taken another whole turn. That would have set back the hunt for evil for several turns. Killing Carley was a great gift to her, since now no execution needed to be wasted, with no risk of triggering a Godfather. In terms of this game, Adam would have blocked the use of the courtier a turn longer.
    So easily confirming the best player by far in terms of experience and skill, turned them into a game solving commander in chief.
    Killing Blair was also a mistake, the info was already going to be gained: Alive yes, she could continue gossiping, she would have needed to risk lives to do so though. Evil had already lost by this point, but if Luke had been chosen, there might have been three more deaths.
    But the real reason I think team evil lost was that they were too passive in this game. It is really important to put out false info as much as you can without seeming shady.
    For example, the sailor goes before the gambler. Suggesting having drunken, the gambler could have thrown a wench into things. Another example was leaving the single outsider claim uncontested. The Evil players did not even need to claim outsider themselves, just that they have heard of one. As it was, they not only allowed, Carley to claim the single outsider role, but gave away that there was likely no Godfather in play. It also took away the outsiders as bluff. With the goon revealed, they could know that the other outsiders.

    • @q-tuber7034
