Evil played a blinder there. Debbie sacrificing herself was a bold move for a Scarlett Woman but I think that’s what lead to the evil win in the end. Everyone was sold on a baron game
I want so badly to watch an in-person game of Hivemind and watch evil just flail to silently communicate more than the usual night communcations of [player], yes/no, good/evil, point at sheet, and numbers. I'd point out the online version allowing full conversations is powerful, but also online games are already not like in-person and give players a ton of info they shouldn't have anyways, so it's just a wash in my eyes. (Unless there's in-person STs that allow personal notepads or using phones for notes or something.) I loved the hilarious coincidence of Debbie claiming a Baron between the two Investigator pings. Sometimes comedic gold just writes itself.
I think in-person Hivemind would be very funny. Less useful, but similar to the Spy in a way - the type of information you communicate would be VERY different. As for Debbie claiming Baron between investigator pings - as you said, you can't write that.
I was sure Nic had it! If only he outed his info a day earlier (when he got a yes on himself and ste)- that might have led to more discussion about Ste being the demon and bringing up potential poisoning for future info (when he checked mark)
I was going to say, change Hivemind to "At dusk, you and the minions wake together [Not the first night]." That way, you could include it with Cult Leader or Goon, but I guess wording it as "At dusk, all evil players wake together [Not the first night]." allows it to work with an evil townsfolk if a Bounty Hunter is in play. So, I guess it's just what you prefer.
I think since this video went up, we've changed the wording of Hivemind to avoid such Cult Leader and Goon shenanigans. "Each night*, choose a player: they die. Evil Minions & Demons wake* together at dusk for 1 minute."
Thank you so much for turning off the clocktower sound! Something about that pitch drives my dog insane. I can't watch any of the botc games on their channel because they always play it.
I just got into watching BotC videos, and yours is one of my favorite games to watch. However, ,I use CC, and it's very difficult to figure out who is talking at Dawn and Dusk. Once they break out, it gets easier, but even when the discord chat highlights who is speaking, it's hard to dart between reading the CC and the chat. I know the official BotC has the speaker's token light up with the green highlights. Is that an option here?
I wish storytellers wish "have fun" instead of good luck or best of luck. This is a game, winning or losing is part of having fun playing the game, not the objective
Just watching the beginning and as the Recluse was poisoned wasn't the investigator ping invalid since their ability was off? Edit: oh he's drunk. I'm dumb. This is what I get for watching at 5 am.

@@patters It'd be fun to come up with things like make a cross with your pointer fingers and point to the Monk.
This was one of the best games I’ve seen in a while. Your moving up to be one of my favorite storytellers.

"I hate the Investigator" says Mark about the drunk that got told two good players were a minion that wasn't in the game.

Also, don't put a Hivemind and a Magician together. The fact the Magician isn't waking up is a big indicator that they aren't part of the hive.
@@patters did you mean to comment that here? I think that seems to be somebody else. Think it's to Kyle B's comment below.
@@RoderickEtheria oops thank you!
Might Jinx the Magician and Hive Mind to let the Magician wake with the evils. THough if he does, that gives him a ton of info, so... hrm.
Thank you Ekin for making it happen, I was chanting out loud to show Richie thicc nick as baron
Can a Recluse "register as evil" and thus be woken to join the hive mind conversation? I can't think when that'd be a good idea, but....

For Debbie's death, you should have given Richie "Investigator" or "Drunk." The first would throw more sus on thicc nick.

Great fun!
Wow a homebrew…exciting
This is just kazali if it wasn't toxic
