You are doing great as a storyteller. Your group is my favorite to watch.
@@vondaslagley6885 that’s really sweet of you to say. Thank you
I remember asking months ago if there would ever be videos here from a storytelling perspective, and Arif was unsure at the time because he preferred the player role and didn't have as much experience in the storyteller role. The progress and growth of Arif in his channel, his content, and his abilities as a player and storyteller have been awesome to watch. Keep it up man!
@@brandonvangieson8087 thanks Brandon!
First game: weird stuff happens, "it's a wizard!"
Second game: weird stuff happens "It's a wizard!"
Third game: weird stuff happens "I'm pretty sure this could only happen because of an amnesiac, everyone."
Also Arif storytelling is just loads of fun, keep it up, you're doing great! (≧▽≦)
Thanks!
Wizard is so fun, but so hard to balance around. As an abject chaos style of ST (who has probably less fun then the players funnily enough), Wizard wishes are wild. My favorite, and only wish ive dealt with so far randomized all players roles. So I just reracked and didnt tell anyone (as a specific of the wizard wish). The cost was the fisherman was no longer once per game, the hint was that the wizard made his wish public so no hint neccessary.
That was a very exhausting game.
but which team registers as the philo alchemist wizard goblin recluse team if they die by execution? makes you think
…god I love this stupid game.
I wish that JC specifically gets to make a wish.
Didn't expect to get 3 games in the time it normally takes 1 game.
Really great stuff, and I was especially impressed with Matt's BINGO.
You and me both!
Prior to wizard my fave games were always amne and/or athiest games because I think BoTC is at it's best when it's just literal insanity (hence BMR being my fave official script) but the wizard just turns that up to 1000 AND I always root for evil no matter what so having an evil chaos role is a genuine dream come true, I don't know how I can go back to watching non-wizard games after this 😭
Also I think so far most of my fave wizard games have come from arif storytelling so huge W to get a 3 in 1 here lol
@ Haha, appreciate you watching!
Matt was really bang on the money, dang! 👏👏👏
I think the way Arif ruled it was fine and I definitely wouldn't have come up with this in the moment but it would have been funny to use the wizard v wizard shenanigans to have clocktowers first ever draw. The evil wizard cost is that Matt can register as both good and evil at the same time and the good wizard cost is that good no longer automatically wins ties and boom! A draw! Previously thought impossible
draw = good win
@notenoughmice did you read the bit of my comment where I suggested the cost of the good wizard wish could be that draw no longer equals good win?
@moth.03 yes
@@notenoughmice then I'm not sure I understand your comment
The Wizard is weird as half the time the wish is very deliberately not meant to help evil so much as it is to just create chaos. It kind of makes me wish it had been a traveller just so that they could travel in, create chaos, dip out and then just watch from the sidelines the way we do. But it's almost... not a minion? Sometimes it very much is. I watched a game recently where the wizard just became a poisoner and added chaos. But another recent one was just "The al-Hadikia chooses 4 people" made by a good wizard just to mess with the ST (Who was also Arif in this case)
Note: This isn't a criticism of either the players or the character. (I'm typing this during the intro before the wish has even been made). It's just something that I thought about and I needed something for the algo anyway.
I love how Arwell shakes his head during nominations hahaha
man that game one chef 7 would've been fun XD (if chef is after Orge in the night order)
Would have been kind of funny to register the actual Alchemist as an actual Wizard to the Philosopher's ability, meaning that they were not drunk
Also absurdly strong, but it would have been funny
Never a boring wish with a Wizard in play
Good goblin is an easy win condition. Just tell town to vote for you
@@TheIngPin 😂
Ask Blair from NRB how that turned out for her lol.
I dig the wizard games, and these... more sensible wishes have been nice. Some of the absolutely nutty wishes that people have been doing lately have been fun as one-offs, but I do enjoy having games especially like the last one that are more... normal-adjacent BotC. Wouldn't mind seeing a few non-wizard games woven in now.
The script's name is such a good reference
hm i think a working cost for matts wish would have been that the minimum votecount required is reduced or something like that... or that a single evil vote is enough to lift matt off the block
but yeah that one was hard to just do a cost for in the moment with that much time pressure... its not like you can wait till nighttime to think it through
was pretty funny though XD
It's one of the wishes that you grant once and then never again. You don't have to grant a wish.
@@whocares2277 eh figuring out these dilemmas in retrospect is a good exercise to train for facing them in the future - and i prefer a "yes but" approach over straight up saying no whenever possible...its just more fun
though if talking in private i might advise people when i think that their wish is going to be very not fun for the rest of the group
mind you, if people start repeating precise wishes, then imo they are using the wizard wrong (well unless its really really funny)
@@SharienGaming There isn't much of a "yes, but" you can add to that wish I think, unless you make it something stupid like inverting the goblin win condition (goblin's team loses). If you accept the wish then this is a game-ending situation.
The option to reject wishes is part of the wizard, otherwise you could just wish to win.
@@whocares2277 i mean yeah if they are that boring that they dont even want to play then yeah... its just a no
but as illustrated in my original post - theres definitely prices that can mitigate the wishes effect in this case
but yeah its tricky, and i dont even know if my ideas would work out - but i dont think that one is beyond repair (especially given that the wish was made publicly)
A like, a comment, and I'm already subscribed.
@@SinCitysOnly thank you 🙏
Just started the video: Nope! Not sick of wizard yet, he he. But I would love more amne's with wilder abilities too. Onto the game!
With this premise, I'm going into the video asking "What went wrong?" XD.
@@evaos12 nothing at all, just worth re-iterating the obvious sometimes :)
Hi Arif!! won’t be able to watch right now but leaving a comment to help with the algorithm:D
Appreciate that!
I think Matt's first wish turning him, publicly, evil would've been funny "okay, you're now the goblin, you are evil", but I think just letting the game end was the right call. There's no need to extend a fun casual game like that and publicly outing someone ruins their game. The other option could've been making him unable to be executed/have the fool's ability, but you'd run into the same problem of it sorta ruining Matt's game.
I have all the time to think about this and I'm legitimately not sure what the cost should've been lol, can't imagine trying while under time pressure
I think Arif could have said ‘I can confirm this is real Goblin ability’ to give town more info to go through with the execution. But as you say it’s just a casual game.
I wish for the ST to announce that there is a Vortoxx in play and then only give true information.
@@RoderickEtheria your wish is my command!
The cost: am I lying?
I wish for more content!
@@aggressivelymemeing your wish is my command!
The cost: you have to play in all games
I wish there'd been a chef in the first game because they would have gotten a five.
@@cassesvultus43 your wish is my command!
The cost: no cost to a Chef 5
11:50 I'm pretty sure Philo is before Xaan in the night order so Philo would be fine if they use their ability on a Xaan night
@@j-vg Xaan is a constant check, not a night order ability
@arif_a_ The fact that it has a place in the night order seems to disagree
My Wizard wish (if I ever got to play with one), I would state in town square "You know I always wanted to play the Vizer, I wish I was the Viser" because well I'm always up for open evil :) (or I wish I was the Leach, also wished publically)
Arif you ran the first wish great! I wonder if (yagababble phrase) the game would have gone differently if you asked the alchemist to choose again!
All these wizard games popping up on YT just make me more scared to put one in one of my games 😭
@@Zoh_My_Gosh my advice is to take the plunge - you’ll find it gets easier the more you run it
My Wizard wish: The Storyteller is now an Evil Thief [the Traveler].
@@MindOfGenius your wish is my command!
The cost: you have a permanent -1 vote
59:20 It would have been very funny for Anna to pick Roots as the wizard.
Optimal Wizard? Sounds like an oxymoron. I've only seen Wizards play for content.
Sweet, we get a triple game in one!!
[slight spoiler]
I think game 3 is the probably the best thing to happen to me playing clocktower and I can die happy now 😂
Our night 2 conversation was wonderful.
"Hello Matt. You learn a Yes"
"On what?!"
😂
A silly amne ability for game 3 could’ve had to do with giving some players negative vote counts. Maybe their vote and one other player they selected counted as -1 votes? Too anti wizard? Maybe there’s other things like this that could work.
I paused to say this then kept watching lol
I love that a chef 6 is possible in the final game
wait, if a philo becomes alchemist in night 1, the alchemist becomes drunk and doesn't learn the correct minion. So far so good.
But the REAL minion's ability should not be drunk, right?
Correct
First game, I definitely would have registered Matt as Evil for the win - the evil team had no way to overcome his 7 votes, and saying "goblin claim" was not the cost, it was the hint!
I know the cost I would do here instantly.
*Everyone* always registers as the opposite alignment.
You have an oracle - so this should be solveable
This is silly.
I think the cost for Matt should have been he won with the evil team because the other wizard wish registered him as evil.
I was watching another ST (don’t remember if it was Ben or someone else) talk about insta win wishes like Matt’s wish and they basically said they would be hesitant to grant them as stated or they would put in a cost to modify the wish to keep the game going.
So, if it were me, I would have made the cost that someone would have been executed/died in Matt’s place the first time he was voted to be executed, just because I think a retroactive, immediate game winning wish like this one is slightly unfair.
I don’t know if I would have taken it as well as the other players is in this game did if I had been on the evil team.
@@jesoko6724 that’s fair, and it’s why I put the disclaimer at the beginning of the game. Getting Wizard wishes right can be tough, and I’m lucky that the players in this group understand that. Wins and losses aren’t important here
I would have made the cost being that the Yagglebabble's kill (which the Yagglebabble DID have pending) would kill him immediately. So now 1) there is a dead goblin on the block, which doesn't end the game if executed since dead players have no ability 2) The Yaggababble should be rewarded for saying the phrase. This is by far the best kill for the Yaggababble since it saves the game for team evil
I think it’s tough, as you also want to make sure the cost doesn’t *completely* neutralise the wizard, otherwise it essentially turns into an evil villager with a headache for the ST.
In hindsight, it was a silly wish I did because I thought it was funny, as opposed to wanting to win - ironically I felt bad for winning 😂 which is why I did the wish in the open rather than in private.
The best thing about Arif and this group is none of us minded what happened. If my wish didn’t work, or if we had to run the vote again, etc it’d still have been funny for me (and hopefully everyone else too) :) the main thing is know your team.
