      It so was but not helped by the storytellers only able to give half of the information out with their bad choice of words, especially as town square is 2 words not 1 as they explained at the beginning. Also the first word they chose should have been something that was guaranteed to be said by someone so Blair could understand it was a two step ability without that she couldn't begin to piece anything together that could possibly be the right answer. x:x

    Having watched a few games with the amnesiac now, I think Ben both overestimates how easy it is to guess the abilities, and how useful the abilities are. He consistently makes them multi-step convoluted to the point that it would take 20+ questions to get anywhere near them without basically reading his mind. And, frankly, _if_ Blair guessed her ability right, she still has to be on constant listen and not fail to catch who said the secret word first AND be confident that Laurie and Ben didn't miss the first one and think someone else said it. Yes, knowing "Good" or "Evil" (which a binary like "same alignment as you" is) is powerful, but she again would have to figure out that her ability is telling her "Same alignemtn as you" or "telling you whether good or not" at the least to get it right.
    I think he needs to go with more straight-forward abilities; he'll probably be stunned by how hard it is for people to still guess them.

    • @Ryvaken
      @Ryvaken 10 місяців тому +16

      Ben consistently favors hamstringing the good team. Whenever the storyteller gets a decision to make he avoids anything that could give the good team an advantage. Some of these videos have been entertaining but I would sooner commit acts of grievous bodily harm than play a game, any game, with Ben...and slightly less grievous harm before playing with anyone else in this crew of liars and charlatans.
      And no, this isn't a game about lying. The good team is most likely to win when they are careful with the truth but DON'T LIE. But this crew went from "I won't tell you who I am" to "I'll give you three possibilities" to "I'll give you three possibilities and they're all lies" to "these are my lies and attendant made up information." It's no wonder evil wins so often; they're all evil.

    • @segevstormlord3713
      @segevstormlord3713 10 місяців тому +23

      @@Ryvaken Ben tends to try to help evil bluff for two reasons, I think, one more legitimate than the other. First, because Evil is generally "on the back foot" to start out, and the game needs the good team to be less (reliably) informed to balance the numbers. Second, because the way that the misinformation works is supposed to be such that evil can pull off deceptions. I think the first is the _less_ legitimate one, though it can have something of a point to it. The trouble is that Ben has a tendency to underestimate how well Evil is doing in the late game, and has, a few times, come very close to making choices that would lock the victory for Evil on the basis that "they earned it" (when they really didn't) or without quite realizing it (which is forgiveable in the sense that STorytellers are human and can get tired and make mistakes). But he would do well to work on evaluating when it's time to help the GOOD team out.
      The second is actually the one I think he does the best when he leans into, because he gives the Evil team the rope they need to hang someone, even if it's themselves, and it maintains Storyteller neutrality to give disinformation that lines up with Evil's bluffs, where possible.

      I hate to say it due to his excellence in commanding the game and his commitment, but this is the third game in a row that Ben has really rubbed me up the wrong way with his meddling. There's helping the evil team and there's making deliberate choices that punish good play and help bad play. In the last game Angela made a great play and got outright punished for it by Carley being turned into the Snake Charmer, which was absolute meddling designed to diminish Angela's role the game, increase Carley's and use a good Good play to help Evil. This time was even worse: Angela and Adam once again made a great play that Ben outright punished, while Isaac made a bad play trying to fudge and influence a Demon kill he should have no influence over and was rewarded for it. Again, Angela (the less "big name" player) was taken out of the game in terms of influence while the "big name" player was preferred, and Evil was rewarded for bad play and Good punished for good play. It's not balancing the game, it's deliberate meddling both on a meta level and a game level and it saddens me because literally other than that dynamic this is my favourite thing on the Tube.
      And that's not even counting the Legion game where Ben overtly tried to help a Legion win despite everyone realising it was a Legion game very early and no Townsfolk turning on each other, which is literally the definition of Legion failing.

    I so love Isaac's villainous monologue at his final nomination! Honestly, very well played by both teams, it was just down to who Blair would choose to nominate in the end, and Blair finally overcame her curse of being a water diviner for Evil! Perfect ending!
    Now when I saw Laurie was going to be a storyteller, I was almost expecting him to add an Atheist to the script just to finally get to win one... it still eludes him, but it's amazing that more of the crew are taking up the storyteller role!

    • @scottwallbank4794
      @scottwallbank4794 Рік тому +26

      Yeah I thought that was a rough clue. Who is going to mention Town Square during nominations, after everyone has already assembled? If Ben wanted to steer away from mechanics, I would have gone for something like 'lying' or 'trust' or something completely off like 'UA-cam' if he wanted a better hint.

    • @TheKatti5000
      @TheKatti5000 Рік тому +14

      People usually say it in private chats. "Oh, we have to get back to the Town Square, I think nominations are about to open." But they rarely say it once they're already there. Yeah, I agree that it was a rough one, but I think the poisoned nonsense words were so funny that I don't even mind.

    • @Relisysification
      @Relisysification 10 місяців тому +3

      Late to the game but, with the clue you can try and get someone to say it by either outing it to someone who wants to be tested as good, OR you can say "I really had issues with my room getting back to the clock tower, wait..." And some people in this group will jump on correcting

    • @GhostySpade

      ​@Relisysification apart from that you don't know that someone has to say it at that stage. I would agree if this would be further down the line and she would already have an idea but at this stage she knew nothing. They should have chosen something in the beginning which would have been mentioned for sure so that the mechanic at least would have been triggered.

  • @itmightbevid
    @itmightbevid Рік тому +3

    I think what would've been really funny in this game is if in the final night, the three evil players chose to give lil monsta to Adam P. Adam P would immediately come forward saying he was told that he has lil monsta, but then everyone has to decide if they believe he's a good player who got given the baby as a way to confuse the good team on the final night, or if he's a minion who doesn't have the baby and is trying to get them to waste their final execution. In this situation, keep in mind the demon kill is decided after the vote, the final 3 is Isaac, Dom, and Adam, where Isaac is seen as the good player there who nominates Dom, who doesn't have the baby, and good might follow through with the vote if they think Adam is a minion. It would be a risky play, but i think there's a good amount of info that might make Adam P seem like a minion, like Dom talking to Adam P night one immediately, even if he later covers it up by claiming empath. I think the main problem with it was that Dom was largely pushing to execute Adam P throughout the game, but it at least would've been funny

  • @Benusr

    Imma make a list of Amne abilities I came up with, pinch a few if you feel like it:
    At the beginning of the game before players see their token choose yes or no, if you choose yes rerack. If you choose no, gain a new ability.
    You start knowing a word, each day the first player to publicly say the word becomes an amnesiac with a new word/ability. If there are two or more amnesiacs you lose this ability.
    You start knowing a Pokémon, if the player last executed was evil learn a Pokémon with a better type match up, if they were good learn a Pokémon with a worse type match up. You are sober and healthy.
    You start knowing an in-play role, once per game you may guess who that role belongs to, if you are correct they become a new role, you learn this new role.
    5. You start knowing a word, when the first good player to say the word would die, you die instead.
    You start knowing a movie quote, if a player publicly says this quote, you learn if their alignment is the same as yours and a new quote.
    You start knowing the title of a song and the artists who sang it, Each day if you get at least half of the alive players to sing the song you learn how many good players took part. You become drunk until dusk if at least one player shares/looks up the lyrics.
    You start knowing a not in-play role, if someone is *mad* about being this role you learn a new not in-play role.
    The demon learns who you are, if they are the main reason you died, you learn who they are.
    10. Your team only wins if all minions are dead. Deaths at night are arbitrary. [- Demon, +1 Minion]
    When you die, you get to describe how you die. Whatever you describe happens.
    You are safe from the demon, when you die all other players are drunk.
    You win if you are executed. If you win this way the game continues and you must publicly pick a player, they die the next night.
    There are no outsiders in this game. When you die if you have not guessed your ability, you learn what roles could have modified the count.
    15. If you become drunk and/or poisoned during the night, you remain sober and healthy. Each night, select a number of players equal to the number of times you were made drunk or poisoned, they become drunk until dusk.
    Each day, publicly a small game takes place, whoever wins learns a true statement, but if your opponent was evil the statement is false.
    Each day, publicly a number will be called, every day after the first the number will decrease by 1, when the count reaches zero, learn three good alive players. The count starts at 3.
    Each day, privately you may ask a question, the answer is always a lie.
    Each day, publicly a movie quote is said, but not finished, the first player to finish it learns the role of an alive neighbour.
    20. Each day, publicly choose a player, if you are opposing alignments you swap alignments the
    next night, they do not wake to learn this.
    Each day, alive players may choose to 'set off the bomb', if the majority of the players alive choose to set off the bomb the game ends. If 1 or fewer evils voted to set off the bomb your team wins. If 2 or more evils chose to set off the bomb your team loses. Everyone publicly learns who you are.
    Each night, pick a player, if they're good, you cannot die until the next night.
    Each night, pick a number, learn if that role (corresponding to the roles on the sheet) is in-play.
    Each night, learn a player, if you nominate and execute that player they learn your role.
    25. Each night, pick two players, if they are of opposing alignments and neither one was the demon you learn a yes.
    Each night, learn a (different) letter in the alphabet that you share with at least one of your good neighbours, if you cannot learn any different letters, this is arbitrary.
    Each night, pick a player they are woken up and must ask a question. You receive a true answer if they are outsider or townsfolk, You recieve arbitrary info if they are a minion, You receive false information if they are the demon.
    Each night, learn a role on the script. Once per game, gain that ability and stop learning roles.
    Each night, learn a name, if you are *mad* that it is your name, learn the alignment of at least one player who learned a name and increase the number of people who learn a name by 1. If all players were supposed to learn a name reset the number to two.
    30. Each night, learn 3 options you must select one of them, the one you selected happens. One relates to madness, One relates to droisoning and One is arbitrary.
    Each night, pick a player [other than yourself] they wake up and learn a cartoon character if you're good and a Horror movie character if you're evil. Each night,* you become the alignment of at least one alive neighbour.
    Each night, select a sound. Each night proceeding, you learn the alignment of the first player to make that sound each day.
    Each night,* you may select a player they appear dead, but retain their ability. If they were attacked they were not.
    Each night,* learn the name of a movie/musical/game and name a character, if the character was a protagonist you learn a different in-play good role, if it was an antagonist you learn a different in-play evil role. If the character was neither you may learn a not in-play role.
    35. Each night,* choose a role, unknowingly they gain the ability, "The first time you die you don't and become drunk until the end of the game". Roles you selected keep their extra ability even after your death.
    Each night,* learn who the demon kills, then pick another player, if they were the demon deaths become arbitrary.
    Each night,* learn a not in-play role, you may pick a player, they are woken and may choose to become that role.
    Each night,* if you are closer to the demon than you were the previous night learn a hot, otherwise learn a cold. Once per day, you may ask two questions if you would receive the same word as yesternight.
    Each night,* make a prediction, if the following day the prediction comes true, learn the name of a good player that night.
    40. Each night,* pick a future time and day, when it gets to that time and day learn a statement that was true during the night you selected it.
    Each night,* learn a range of 5 numbers and may select one of them, that player on the grim is drunk and cannot die until you choose again (The player at the top is 1 going clockwise).
    Each night, pick a player, if they are good you are both drunk and they are safe from the demon, until the next night. You are safe from the demon.
    (Evil) Each night, pick a player they are told a convincing lie. [For example: the Cerenovus has chosen for you to be mad as the Farmer or you have become evil.]
    (Evil) Each night, pick out of play or in-play all evil players learn a single role that fits the category.
    45. Once per game, before you die you may choose another player, they die instead.
    Once per day, privately receive a word, if you didn't say it at all during the day the next night you receive a true. If you said it, the next night you receive an arbitrary statement.
    Each day, if the first nominator is good they die and resurrect the next day. You cannot die due to this ability.
    Each night, you may ask a question about your ability. If you guess your ability your team wins. If you didn't nominate a player today, you cannot be nominated.

    In a Li'l Monsta game with an Amnesiac, I think a cool power for the Amnesiac would be, "The Amnesiac is the demon. Each night, the Amnesiac chooses a player. That player dies instead of whomever the evil team chooses. If he dies without realizing he's the demon, he ceases to be the demon and becomes good."
