hey dont call me out like that 😭
that's what causes the best 2 hour arguments
Can confirm
anyway, hystrex, under what circumstances should someone execute a d1 mutant break,
Uh oh
I mean
When the mutant
if it's exactly 8p and not fang gu
the answer is "d1 in a 14p where it immediately mech rules out two demon types but, somehow, is by a significant margin the worse option for town"
obviously
wait i wanna see that grim then
Lmao
that was the 8 savants game
i see
town has what can be called 'some difficulty' worldbuilding around a cerelock when people are loudly exploding in public from non-locked ceremadness (he was specifically breaking as "I'm the ceremad mutant")
That thing you hate so very much
I don’t think I’ve ever had the chance to consider a day one Mutant exe on SnV since they just don’t seem to break madness on D1 in my group
But I did do a custom with Godfather with another group where uh oh Godfather kill N2 after the Mutant went boom D1. And that Godfather kill did end up saving evil’s ass when they basically got caught but good needed two executions to completely clear the world
...yes
I do light mode on discord
And dark mode on reddit
Does this make sense
no
what
no it does not
also
livetext are all minors?
dont use reddit
😭
like mostly
I use it for the same reason I’m here
i'm like, undergrad age
Because BOTC
I haven’t ever played live text here before but tbh
Not shocked there’s apparently a lot of minors there
ok but that's reddit
and me realizing i have to hear a minor's opinion every time make me want to die a bit inside
😔
my general impression of livetext is a bunch of teenagers, a few people in the "undergrad to young adulthood" age band (incl. self), and more established adults who keep leaving
Dude!
Uncool
but also that the first group includes a lot of people who kind of cycle out eventually when they realize they can't get games to run all the time by spampinging
that sounds like a skill issue
no need for two hours
wait...are you a minor
Time Machine go
i have depicted you as the soyjack and myself as the Chad
Just had that discussion
that explain your fondness of catfishing...
Yes
What fondness
hang on lemme get the meme
axo you have the "catfishing and minors" screenshot to hand right, I can't find it
i need to play it one more time so i can confidently say "nah i'd rather play snv"
Can you stop
it's not about whether you'd "rather" play snv exactly
Seriously
then get a pfp
It's in livetext pins
I should
But the last time I made an avatar
It was vaticidalprophet’s kazali rant
send the rant
On my computer
Reminds me of one of my favorite interactions between people on a different server
Not on my phone 😔
Clearly the best way to solve a disagreement
I mean, natlove is right
I think we can find a happy compromise. What if we gave them a maybe
ruling this ruling that

Oh yea
just ask your ST
IT'S 1101
sorry forgot to remove the reply
Damnit
light mode
where was this 😭
The blinding sun attack
I love how people comment every time on light mode screenshots and never on my insane cosmic mode background
ion't even know what it looks like
And i checked discord and saw. this
because it's dark
Idk what the cosmic mode background looks like but I’m assuming it doesn’t viciously attack your retinas
Dude it’s almost midnight
anyway have fun you all i will go play rhythm heaven
Sun is good
have fun but also dont stay up until 3am <3
it's the vicious retina attack colour scheme in the background of the savant/kazali infodump screenshots
the game is fun
if i could react to that with FoR hannibal i would
Absolutely
Eh color scheme is fine, much better than suddenly getting flashbanged
Truth
snv's outsider mod setup means that if the outsider count is unmodified, and a savant can receive true info, it's exactly a no dashii game
better start running some trad legion
Waiting for ||MHD|| for that
Trad legion would suck so much on the script I have it on
whats trad legion
also notably this has implications past just saying "the outsider count is modified" or not
and app players apparently don’t like trad legion after the LoT release script incident
e.g. I recently saw "2 forms of madness in play" in a 10p, which is only possible in exactly fang gu
how does ben b run it 😭
oh that's
interesting
my group wake all legion together
and give them like 6 bluffs
See that’s close to what I do
The best ways to run legion in my opinion
No bluffs
Or
Get sets of 3 that recieve the same bluffs
And they are unique
they of course learn who is in their set
And if leftovers, make new set
no bluff 😭
woah this was not worth the backread
i technically fall into none of these 3 categories
average secret-thing series of events
I was like “oh well I have like 10 minutes before I have to leave I can quickly flick through this”
It has been around 20 minutes and I’m going to be late
Mastermind and uhuhhhhhh
wait is that
oh no it's American date cool I didn't respond to a question from October
Poisoner, probably
Idk if I like being the goblin, but I like the effect it has on the game
wow i did not even see the secret thing question throughout the yapping
hmmm favorite and least favorite minion huh
not only is the "self-nom meta" a social problem that's not actually fundamental to the character, it's not even good strategy
people can and should refuse to self-nom in those metas...and if everyone else thinks they're evil because of it, again, that's a social problem that the Storyteller should be addressing, and from a strategy perspective, players are best served actually trying to find evil and win the game rather than play this weird side game of hampering nominations
is saying your most favorite xaan is cringe
no favourite minion can be cringe except harpy
LOL
hmmm i guess in a more serious tone


is my most and least favorite, respectively
mez is my favourite minion to be good in a game with because I don't have to be good anymore :)
crazy
baron is my favorite minion because it is exactly a minion per minion
mez is my least favorite because it is more than a minion per minion
I wanna be a mez turned alchemist
it would be very funny
new alch letting me be the evil alch cere in a game with a normal cere
is it like, any good? no, but I am a turncoat of all time
cere or spidow favourite, pois or harpy least favourite
(both spidows occupy the same space for this question)
cerenovus is hard to categorize because it's aesthetically my favourite role in the game and insanely fun to play but I dislike playing against it and still have mixed views on madness overall
also it's so swingy and not all that swing is player-controlled
sometimes you just get unlucky with your picks or the ST doesn't know how to run it
kinda real
yeah no cere is by far my favorite minion to get
the power trip is real
but like, it's really cringe to be cerelocked
also I'm literally a steampunk cyborg with mind control powers irl? so it makes sense
where does the prophet part come in
the line between "minion of a demon" and "messenger of a god" is thin
just don't be picked? skill issue
so true!
anyway my other favourite minion is pithag because the pithag can turn me, the starting spidow, into the cere n2
best of both worlds
😭
ooh actually
if you have to divide the minions in half
one half being "more favored" vs "less favored"
how would you sort 'em
Good question, time to crack out the tier list template
do it
Template doesn’t have Xaan, but it would be in More Favored. Tiers aren’t ordered
Splitting in half is hard, if this was simply Like vs Dislike there would be like three or four in Dislike lmao. A lot of Minions in Less Favored I like
okay, for context i invited him to the server, and then he immediately started trying to get himself banned
interesting
did you misspell my name again
they wrote "people1011"
Pedestrian0101
Citizen0101
HELP
Homosapien1011
this mf is a person, get him
Person 7
He’s the 1101th person to be born

many such cases
(it's not even ET's fault)
mizu continuing to be trapped in the livevoice mines where they play clockmaker+twin every game
livevoice...truly an experience
Text voice games are just voice notes
livevoice is where you can see 3 people nominating themselves for witch check
oh that's just snv
and there is an evil twin + a town crier game
yeah but snv != livevoice snv
I ran a game once with 10 noms d1
town crier pissing and crying
it was cere/twin and both twins nominated
so is flowergirl
by about nom 7 or 8 someone went "yeah guys I don't think there's a witch"
😭
they eventually random executed the juggler, who was also the only twinsolver on the grim
no one agrees how to play snv, that's the magick of it
however there is a correct way to run it [18 paragraphs follow]
such as? 👀
I keep thinking about the d1 mutant thing because my group prefers not to have attempts at secret madness breaks and idk if it's a problem that that means I'm almost never executing breaks
"Execute ceremadness more than feels fair and mutants less than feels fair" is probably the right landing spot?
oh just some of the way people like to play snv
You need to blur the edges of the meta a little because it's very rough if town can meta things like "mutant is an evil scapegoat, if it saves someone from the block early game you should double tap them" but in general it's funnier to have mutants beg to die than confirm them most of the time
Also depends on player count
To be fair it feels like Ceremadness is doing its job because people are making convincing claims that are making good go down wrong tunnels
Mutant in large games is a townsider in an unfortunate way
Yeah when I intro madness I do remind people that I can and will refuse to execute even blatant breaks sometimes
As player count decreases, executing mutants becomes worse for town, so something to do more often
Yeah this is the ideal outcome
I've noticed a lot of people will out d1 if they're a ceremad-as-townsfolk mutant and this is interesting to me because from my pov it's better for town to let the cere waste their ability giving you a free bluff
(this is also why I've come to think I don't like putting cere and mutant in together as much as I historically have, sometimes the cere gets unlucky)
(I am terrified of this when I'm cere)
so real
also people will claim you as ceremad anyway and be fine with it
I figure the logic is they'll be more of a liability later
i presume, but also outing cere come at the cost of other townsfolk becoming liable to cere
versus "yeah there's technically a cere but they locked me, the mutant so they're just a blank token"
True, I hadn't thought of the meta of "hide cere to make the ST less likely to execute madness breaks" (which is a strategy I'd be impressed by people coming up with organically)
You're also breaking the madness execution barrier which, when running madness well, should mean later players are much more likely to be executed
Yeah
I've found that the Cerenovus is usually most dangerous when locking a dead player
that is
i don't want to think about it too much
but that's true, i think
since dead player read socially more likely good than not
hey mizu given that you're the clockmaker are you cool with being executed d1
holy fuck
this give me vietnam flashback
i want to advocate for the "don't execute people" meta more
😭
ofc we're going to build every single world around your clock number that isn't a number you randomly made up through madness
My group is too keen on executing people who want to due and we've had loads of evil clean sweeps because of it (and most good wins have been lucky picks with tons of evils alive) so I'm trying to push back on it
There are upsides and downsides to the meta, personally I'm a selfish bastard so I rarely do it as such a role, but depending on player count I'm usually fine if someone else wants to
i think the problem is that
(on specifically d1, later we should always be going into pings)
I won't push back on it too hard but there is such a thing as overvaluing confirmation
yeah this is only d1
but like
stop "executing spent role"
😭
unless there's like, some information
it's just whenever i say stuff like "do we need to execute people d1" i am framed as evil
people develop some weird metas that sound good when you're newer, for some groups for some reason they seem to have trouble moving past them
Well you do need to execute d1. It's just a question of whom
obviously the spent clockmaker/seamstress/artist that is willing to vote on themselves
d1 snv has very high info uncertainty and there are useful things that can come out of executing a very likely good, like oracle checking, but it's super player count dependent
and not so good as to be a dominant strategy
yeah i do think snv is
better for execution
i just heavily dislike people executing for non-abstract reason
If there are seam pings and we have anything that might help us interpret them I'd generally rather kill into the pings if the interpretation suggests that's a good idea, same with artist questions
wait lemme explain what non-abstract means. personally i think randomly targetting stuff d1 because "they're 180 degree from me" is better if you have limited information and a lot of uncertainty. but when you nominate someone because they are a spent role and there are better info role, it's unlikely that you hit someone worthwhile and more often than not can be detrimental
Even pushing on someone who you don't think will get exed is useful because people sometimes need the push to actually consider the possibility that they'll be evil
Having said all of this I have a long and bloody trail of bodies behind me originating from absolutely horrible d1 executions I keep pushing off my asspulled incapacity for social reads
but then if you do have information, you should push on it
Especially if the pattern of not getting on the block is suspicious
My curse is I keep being f3 with two evils and I always pick wrong
oop
sometimes it's just like that though
you identify evil
but you do not have the vote power for it
My gut always makes me pick correctly then I talk myself out of it
so you just, sit there till f3
I did this to the last living good recently 
what were you
I was an evil traveller in f3+trav with two evil residents
Lmao I saw that one
The evil residents were outed but there wasn't the info for demon vs minion
My demon had the more miniony socials 
This almost always happens but they didn't bother to exile me but also it wouldn't have mattered because it was social rather than mechanical
they're super confirmed good?
Although the time the final good got -3 votes in f3 because people forgot was very funny
i.e. if I'd been exiled it would've gone the same way
I don't really like policy exiling travs anyway
But I say this because I want to bone collect the mutant in f3
So probably don't take my word for it
Funny
it's pretty typical for Travelers to be exiled at this point, but I've also seen this cost the evil team the game
I have yet to see a bone collector and I think STs forget about resurrection as a thing
They keep refusing to accept dead player gossips and forgetting this confirms no Shab in play
Professor isn’t real
(then again I have never actually been in a Shab game)
if the Traveler is probably good, and they have an ability that can't significantly disadvantage good (whether they are good or evil), it's definitely worth considering having them around
also was that from the game-highlights post or as a spectator in the actual game? because I noticed at some point on final day that the lobby had 25 members
The post you made about it
many such casee
the last living good was also playing snv for the first time 😭
SnV clicked for me in the game where I was the demon, accidentally sank a kill night 1, and then coasted the entire rest of the game because nobody even asked me for a claim
I was going to bluff Philo without really knowing what the role was or what good picks were but the day 1 sink just threw everyone into Pit Hag tunnels and my Cere drew all the attention
I constantly, every time, manage to forget when I put a bone collector in that you can't give artist as a bluff or the bc will get them killed
That wasn't something I'd considered
...but last time I ran snv I forgot this and the pithag parlayed it into a 5D chess play as the confirmed good artist with 2 questions
so it worked out
another example of an apparent meta that is just way different than what I see anywhere, lol
the potential for 2-3 artist questions is there so I get it
eh, I mean, that doesn't make it an inherently good play
it can be a good play, but I think the game is better for a few different reasons once players move past the meta of advocating for the death of good players
Tbh a Pit Hag having this happen to them is only a small distance from having been Vigor killed in smaller games
that will never happen 😭
yeah the pithag whiffed his only living one but when bonecollected turned the math into the klutz, who got jumped
I mean, it definitely happens and is how most people I know play
and the artist question implicated the flowergirl who was loudly clearing the sweetheart
we're not going around just killing Recluses, top 4, Clockmakers, etc for no particular reason
I have what seems to be a weird meta where the Pit Hag will pretty much always turn themselves or someone else into the Evil Twin eventually
yea its a good play
I ran a game where that happened going into f4 and the pithag forgot until I explicitly told him that I'd have to (in that particular gamestate) assign him a dead twin
add a wincon for evil, and even if it doesnt work good still has to spend an execution to get rid of it
I had the same but I didn't prompt them because it was an experienced player
also, the brand new fang gu who didn't know her minions accidentally barberswapped the mutant and seamstress the same night
Evil still won though
wait really?
is this just a livevoice thing
Oh that was the other thing I did in that weird sunk kill game, I barber swapped two good players which made people tunnel on the idea they were bluffing
now, my group does have some rather archaic Pit-Hag metas...almost exclusively creating Outsiders (even in a game that already has 2 or 3 Outsiders in play), changing a Demon to a Fang Gu even though the Demon is not currently in need of an out, etc
morning of f4:
"[ex-mutant desperately waving] HI. HI I WAS THE MUTANT [in a 13p] so I know it's fang gu and I JUST GOT TURNED INTO THE SEAMSTRESS so that's what the barberswap was and the fang gu has already jumped"
"[ex-seamstress] No you didn't. No I'm still the seamstress"
"[savant, who was executed two days ago] By the way, guys, I never mentioned this, but I'm in a twin pair"
"...can we have a round robin?"
from what I gather, public games in general tend to be really stuck in "classic" metas even if they're not good from either a fun or strategic point of view
there's a reason tons of people think the game is best played in more limited servers
I think people tend to learn eventually once evil starts figuring out how to game it
I don't think there's a single meta
All the public game communities I observe have about 10-15 sub-metas that are somewhat different from each others'
I discuss "app meta" or "livetext meta" or "livevoice meta" for rhetorical purposes though
you still do hear the same kinds of metas over and over again, just generally speaking
I was reading through this thread again because someone mentioned the "self-nom" meta with Fearmonger, that's one you hear a lot of
someone earlier mentioned the meta of killing a spent character
these are all extremely common
I'm at least glad the game has actual rules for dealing with stuff like "town pressuring everyone to Damsel guess themselves"
Spent role meta is one of those things that half the time is honoured in the breach rather than the observance, though also I don't think there's a singular "spent role meta" (e.g. the arguments for trying to mechconfirm extremely powerful YSKs on a loud minion script are different to those for "let's execute the recluse for no reason, which is pure negative utility", even though I don't personally much like doing either)
my hypothesis would be that public places (namely here and on the Patreon server/public lobbies) that it's more difficult to advance metas because there is, at least to some degree, a constant rotation of players, of all experience levels
too bad im not invited to em 😔
I mean, all the places I'm thinking of our places anyone can join
The Grimoire, Grim Scenarios, CTBotC, my Hard Claim server, Patters and Alejo each have servers that I presume have non-streamed games and such
BotC servers 🙂
large non-public servers
there are multiple botc server? pog
I mean, they're public in the sense that anyone can join them
I started playing on one of them but drifted away over time because I prefer STing to playing and have the consistent impression the one I started playing on doesn't let people ST by just asking
but they're not the size of this server, and more concentrated on how they can be regulated
hmmm
Grim Scenarios, for example, only allows games meant for people only on that server
so you have to join the server first
both Grim Scenarios and The Grimoire have regular events as well
yeah
my server is mostly concentrated on my streams, though there a non-streamed Wednesday game somebody runs
what do you think about the other server that you listed
which ones?
ctbotc, patter & alejo
Favorite: Pit Hag, it’s just too fun
Least Favorite: Organ Grinder by far
CTBotC is great, they run games through Discord and the old app still, so that could be a more familiar place...I don't think they run as many non-streamed games, but they are there
"I guess it could be fun for the organ grinder specifically" is an all time quote from this channel
that was yesterday wasn’t it
I don't keep up as much with Alejo's and Patters' servers since I can only focus on so much (and they're also EU based whereas I'm in the US), but both are obviously great personalities within the Clocktower space
the question? for me it's 13 hours ago
so maybe not yesterday enough
ok
I know there's tons of other servers out there too that I'm not quite as familiar with
goddamn this has been a lot of discussion for 13 hours though
approximately none of which is about the question
average secret thing
truly
hmm maybe i'll join one of the server you mentioned
does anyone else have any experience on 'em
welcome to #secret-thing! we got:
- meta arguments
- hystrex and axo pressgang vati into playing bmr
- discussions of server culture
- snv
the fourth point is most crucial
this is just a description of half the discussion channels isn't it
missing specs/spoiler chat, and homebrew chat
which is incredibly funny
specspoilers is also #lore-discussion, #snv-2, and #bmr-2
and #offtopic for that matter
I see you're finally getting it
we'll convert you to liking the script soon enough
and catfishing!
i am being harpy mad rn
last time mizu said they "played catfishing" I found the grim for the game and it wasn't even catfishing
"[looks at fang gu pithag custom] is this catfishing"
I DID PLAY CATFISHING
my in person group run it once, we all hate it 🥰
I mean I know you've played it at some point because squall referenced playing it irl on reddit
as soon as two people say they've played together I just draw this immediate map in my head
anyway
but yes, squall run it explicitly say they run it because they hate it
this was the "catfishing game" you played as drunk amne and it WASN'T EVEN CATFISHING
sh....shut 😭
my favorite catfishing minions: boffin and summoner
BH fang gu 😭
oh right
see this is actually the MINIMUM number of extra evils for a livevoice custom so it's fine
summoner turn the evil ft fang gu
Organ Grinder hate?
yes
But wahy
wait do you have squall's reddit account 👀
old OG was pretty bad tho, I’ll give you that
yes because he told me he was posting the savant infodump on reddit so I know which of the /r/botc posters he is
thank you soldier o7
it just takes a crucial part of the mechanics of BotC away, new OG is not any better as it literally has to turn its own ability off to be a “buff”
it’s just not fun to play in an OG game for me
but also yeah I have this memory where I need to pretend my memory is worse than it is or else in a passing conversation with someone I've talked to twice I go "oh I was on a walk yesterday and I saw a sign for [street] and I remember you saying once you used to live on that street 12 years ago" and they file a restraining order against my autism
summoner puzzlemaster 🔥
Holy hell
New response just dropped!
imagine if evil could see who vote in an OG game
So broken
actually idk if it would make OG better
ehhhh
It would make it stronger
but like xaan
It’s cooler when evil doesn’t have the info
but like also, evil seeing who vote isn't that strong
That’s so horrible
It’s just cooler when they don’t
nice new name luis 😉
[∃t ∈ ℝ]: What is a community ruling that you wish was official?
and it’s another reason to drunk yourself
alejo snake charmer is one
Ignoring Alch Vortox
oh i disagree w this one
i massively disagree lmao
what
damnit your role is not info
wait no elaborate
Imo Alejo SC removes half of what makes snake charmer snake charmer
Patters Huntsman please
It keeps 80% of it and removes the bit where sometimes the game is randomly ruined for everyone else d1
Vigor Mastermind
or Modified Cult Leader but not many people run that
like the entire point is that if you want to go balls to the wall and choose on N1, go ahead, but if could blow up in your face
Modified?
not really
what's patters huntsman again
Pray tell?
"Each night, you learn the alignment of one of your alive neighbors. If all good players choose to join your cult, you become that alignment and your team wins."
anyway
- alejo sc
- vigorkilled minions retaining their ability if the demon changes players
- demon knowing trav alignments
Like the Demon is still hidden bc the Snake Charmer hasn't outed
Oh yea
That variation is better
mhm
oh idk about that one lmao
TRUE
Riot atheist
I don't agree w 3 honestly
yeah but also, minion being out is just a feels bad moment
like that's part of travelling
It's the most arguable one by a decent margin imo
I just really, really hate traveller baiting
so don't play w SC 💀
good traveler outing the demon is one of the most anticlimactic and unfun ways for a game to end
Jesus do you like D1 reracks?
d1 out 😔
no, i just don't have a skill issue
💀
I mean as an evil Traveller, you still know who you need to keep alive
I have 3 problems with travellers
i am
me when I spend 4 days trying to convince the demon to let me actually play the game before travelling out
whatever to the 3rd point
Bad metas on the traveller level
Bad metas on the specific character level
everyone need a hard lesson sometimes 🔥
And unbalance
if the lesson is don’t ever trust a traveler yeah sure ig
Like apprentice
Will do lmao
Guess I’m not having fun
the lesson is to not demon hunting 🔥
this is why I don’t travel
i will cerelocked you if i ever get cere token irl
Just frame your demon
Win because you found the demon
Not your twin
trust me
I found the demon!
Make sure to tell me about both games
win because you lie to your demon and form a pact with the good twin-turned snake charmer
yk my biggest ruling that i wish was official?
That works
The alignment/character type of an ability is that of the ability's character, not its source
bc what the actual fuck is that ruling
you have to
Awww
elaborate
Ok
it was "you have the ability of a not in play minion"
I keep parsing this as "alchemist with the vortox ability"
It’s my goddamn role
I'm more so pointing to the notion that a philo/canni-snitch gives false bluffs in a vortox game
Lmao
like what are you on about
wait in which case does it matter
snitch is an Outsider ability
you have to explain 😭
also run catfishing again so you remember what roles are actually on it
Vortox alch causes the alch to see the wrong ability
oh
I mean RAW I think that they should get false info
right
that’s dumb, if I told you you were the washerwoman when you were the librarian, that wouldn’t make sense
just jinx it tbh
what isn't right, is an Alch-GF getting false info in a Vortox game
The alch’s info being vortoxed is the part that’s ok
blasphemy
alchemist [townsfolk]: YSK if you are a townsfolk, townsider, or outsider.
To be fair alch vortox and godfather on the same script is a crime
yeah but as aforementioned I want to be the mez turned alch cere so I can ruin town's worldbuilding in an even funnier way than usual
Man
DA Goblin Xaan ET are good alch choices
xaan alch oh nooo
I mean that's just a script issue
like if you have bad alch minions on a script with alch
Indeed
you know what you're doing
(or you explicitly don't and it's your first script including atheist legion riot mez and og)
Truth
you forgot vortox
and most alch roles don’t even care
Unless heretic
true!
no.
Then it loops around to being good
but beside that
for no fucking reason
idk how to feels around a townsfolk require the entire minion set to build around it
SNV and BMR in general
there's a reason people build scripts from the Demon suite and work upwards lmao
Legion is probably the hardest thing to scriptbuild with
It took me a bloody year to balance mine
Heretic is easier
right but demon > minion set is different than tf > minion. at least the order that i script built from is d > m > o > t
and also for snv and bmr, i don't know if it's really a singular character that influence minion, or multiple together
but
D>M>T>O
i don't mull over this point much, i don't have such strong opinion on it
Is my setup
why T over O?
Outsiders kinda need to be suited to the TF
And the minions
And literally everything else
yeah i see that
you can’t put a recluse if nothing registers for it
but arguably
if you know you'd like a recluse
then you can put in characters that interact w it
yeh
it's a <=> moment
for me i put recluse first
O=T
that's cool yeah
heretic
Its the big 3
Different big 3
📝 atheist is an outsider
Lmao
shhh
no but yes
heretic is a tf 📝
this is distinctly different from yes but no
On some scripts yes
Heretic
Gonna be honest
Might
Just might
Be as good as golem on the wrong script
no it won’t make your script balanced
Legion is probably hardest
Atheist is easiest
because it’s quite literally atheist
what make a legion script building hard?
it wasnt that bad before the new alch bc you knew it wasn't in play
but now alch mm is basically useless
Actually 1101 in binary translates to 13
Evil needs to be able to frame just about every possible world
Confirmation becomes really powerful
And all good players are sober and healthy in legion, so you need to be careful to not give info that’s too op
loving that the only response this was dignified with was a sobbing emoji
snv + legion?
surely
I really don’t want to run catfishing lmao
[calmly] new world chaos
Or juggler
[angrily] new world chaos
ik people like the scripts but i really don't like NWC and FoR that much
i think if they're fun they're fun, I played FoR once and liked it but they aren't scripts that I'd ask to play/run
like the amount of reminders that they both have is WILD
I love the idea of nwc very much. I also know if I try to play a script that is advertised as "this is intended to cause a complete paranoid breakdown!" I will decompensate in public and spectacular fashion
still maybe worth it?
FyF is good bc it's like TT but I think it trips up occasionally
of the 3 FyF is the best by miles
LoTR?
Yea
that's burnt
It’s pretty good
have played
It’s the ||Jnak script|| but good
The latest version is pretty good
And the travellers are good
Like
It’s fun to have travellers in the game
Vati drops the bomb d1
80% chance
Lmao
Tbf something i do like about NWC is the Bomb
it's a clever way to solve evil majorities that doesn't just cuck conversion characters like SoI does
you still have things like kabaltician symphathizer at base 1/2 outsider that's kinda icky that bomb doesn't solve
but it's a good counterbalance against commie that basically forces them to get their shit together by final 5
(since most good players getting executed in final 3 will drop the bomb)
I really need to play NWC
Bomb does solve that? In 7/8 then bomb drop is sympathiser + defector + kabal + minion which is an evil majority
people keep trying to play 12p botc for some reason
you're right it solves that at base 1, I forgot it was greater than or equal to
it doesn't at base 2 though
5 to 4 is rough
Consider a 9p game where there are a max of 4 people that can win with evil and 5 good players
or an 11p game with 5 vs 6
tbf I've won as commie before pushing this world with the last good as Kabal 💀
was that the longtext that just ended
yeah
yeah I read like half of that and reforged my "I love a ton of stuff about this script and would go concerningly insane if I tried to play it" conclusion
is there a guide to playing nwc
There’s an almanac in #new-world-chaos
[time isn't real]: Now that we've finished discussing every rule in Blood on the Clocktower (#rules-discussion message), what should we do with the server?
Make a legion script
We should figure out how to make time real again
Question 32X-TCG: If your favourite character(s) became trading cards, what would their stat line be?
turn #rules-discussion into #626025489919770644-rule-discussion and keep making up characters to argue about

Cerenovus:
Attack: 8
Defense: 4
Effect: Whenever this attacks, choose a card name, then your opponent reveals their hand. If they have that card in their hand, this card cannot be destroyed this turn.
Legion
Attack:1
Defense:0
Effect: Whenever you play this card, draw 8 Legion cards and play them immediately.
(If it was a Pokémon)
Pukka (Poison/Fairy)
Ability: Regenerator/Corrosion
Stats: 88/64/60/140/125/117
Notable Moves: U-turn, Sludge Bomb/Wave, Moonblast, Knock Off, (Toxic) Spikes, Trick, Toxic, Nasty Plot
idk why the pukka gives me fezandipiti + salazzle vibes except it has regen
Atheist
(Support)
If the opponent agrees to a draw, you win and they lose instead.
what if both players have atheist?
both win
also you'd probably only use that on something like the equivalent of stall
meta becomes run atheist offer draw t1
Loops around to a draw again
you can also just not accept the draw offer
Leviathan
(Support)
After turn 8, you win.
Baron:
Attack: 3
Defense: 7
Effect: When played, two opponent characters' abilities are nullified. This unit's damage against them are doubled.
what card game is this btw? because I don't play Magic
the idea is that baron need to frame the outsiders as evil, and that's their only job
Yes
standard tcg
Riot
Attack:20
Defense:0
Effect:On Turn 6(This is announced) after 10 seconds, both players may take a turn at any time.
are you fast?
Doomsayer:
(Support)
Attack: N/A
Defense: N/A
Effect: When played, you may choose a number between 1 and the number of cards that are currently in your side, you must then throw that number of cards to your discard pile. Afterwards, choose the same number of cards to be discarded from your opponent's side. This card cannot be used for its own ability.
This is a new game
my only TCG experience is the Pokémon TCG game for the gameboy
There’s 5 made up rules
lol
I have 0 experience with any of it
ngl i'd be super up to play a BOTC TCG
This is original ideas here
Fang Gu
Attack:2
Defense:4
Effect:Once per game, you instantly kill an opponent’s card and heal to full.
Imp (4 cost, Rare)
Attack: 3
Defense: 3
When this card is destroyed, a Minion becomes an Imp
(i am using PvZ Heroes as my reference so don’t yell at me magic fans)
That is my favourite oart of the question, everyone using a different TCG 😆
Wait
Isn’t Imp already a PVZ character
Uhhh
I just made one up
If I was to make it in an actual TCG:
Heraldic Beast Cerenovus
EARTH/Fiend/Level 4/ATK 1900/DEF 1200
When this card is Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Heraldic Beast" monster from your Deck, but if this card was Special Summoned, its effects are negated. You can only use this effect of "Heraldic Beast Cerenovus" once per turn. Once per turn (Quick Effect): Target 1 monster your opponent controls, also if it is your opponent's turn, discard 1 card; its name is treated as "Unknown".
just plugging this thread for the magic-heads https://discord.com/channels/569683781800296501/1241265567072124929
ooo, yugioh?
Goblin: you may reveal this card, then exchange any number of cards from your hand (including this) with cards from the top of your deck. If you have done this and lose while this card is in your hand, you win instead
A week later, I would like to update my answer to "pithagged someone into a good vortox, he coldcalled I was the pithag as the only person in the game who would make a good vortox on purpose"
Banshee: 5 energy
2 Fear. Look at 1 earned Fear card.
SPIRIT ISLAND 🔥 🔥 🔥
Correct!
5 energy is insane
Mathematician - 1/1 Humanoid - At the end of opponents' turn, they have to tell you how many cards they played.
and yes, that's a mtg card that requires opponent's deck to be designed to make it useful 😆
What’s the mana cost? Just U?
[time isn't real]: I'm blatantly recycling this one because 1. I need more scripts and 2. it's a good one. What are some great non-famous customs you've played/STed that you didn't make yourself?
I've had fun running word around town a couple times
Lemme see if I can find it on here
lol I was literally just copypasting it
I've had a witch pop OFF on this script
The mez never turned anyone and evil swept, that's how much it popped off
Non-famous?
non-famous
shhhh
vat you can just playtest my script then post it here
surely surely
it's worse cc
but anyway i'll scour livevoice to see if there are any commonplace custom that i like
What did I say about "playing"
maybe i'll post it here
I need more scripts to run because sometimes people seem to weirdly 'not want' to play 5 consecutive snv games
are you running some games soon?
Literally just learn BMR
I am often running games
I'd ST it for you right now if I could
axo screaming crying throwing up reminding you there's a livetext scheduled in 3 hours
you should play in that livetext hystrex
I don't think I can :(
vati can you react with the overdramatic crying one

I'll prob kib but I'm too busy today to actually play a game
WAIT SHE'S RUNNING BABYTALK
I wanted to try that one
be less busy
My bad
China Shop and Babytalk are the best new customs I've played (sort of) recently
I should dedicate every waking moment to clocktower (just because I actually do doesn't mean we have to mention it)
send china shop
I contributed a bunch to the script!! (infodumped about vigor at length)
i've seen too many knight script w/ fang gu and/or scarlet woman
is this autumn's competition winner?
I think that I convinced Autumn to remove moonchild and drunk, idk tho
Every time I see autumn or dylan post with the comp winner colours I just go "!! I gave feedback on those scripts"
drunk/pm was iirc a swap I suggested while infodumping about vigor at length
You could easily win a stream comp with clockwork cyborg +[insert new character here] tbh
new demon
I mean
I do want Wizard on it
Or Occultist when they finally make Occultist real (cope)
if wizard releases i will be submitting a version of babytalk with wizard on it to the stream comp
Have you updated it recently?
what would the swap be?
Witch?
funnily enough given the names, prob witch
yeah
gf/witch step on each others' toes
which I don't like, but there aren't enough minions that work
they have a cute synergy together, but i get what you mean
Witch gives godfather potentially more kills
It used to have 6 minions
However, mez kazali did not work
So -mez +poli, which is why it instead has 6 outsiders
then why does this script have like an 80% evil win rate 😭
not yet, stolen is running another longtext version of it soon and i'll post the version he's running when that starts
i actually don't know how strong kazali is
Depends on the minions
i have a doc in the works for a bunch of novel, unique customs i can send along to you (if you want!)
i'm also gonna make a forum post for the goon version when axo has run the livetext today and i have feedback on it, as it's currently untested
it's going to be a 7p livetext with no goon and you know it
tbf, it's less about the goon necessarily being in play and more how it allows for more worlds to be open
non-famous? dunno if this qualifies but nobody runs Trust and it's incredibly fun
trust is banging
even though it literally won the '23 clocktower con comp
one of the only live games i played in this server the drunk oracle hard solved vig
I think of Trust as famous but I think this is the "scripts Axo talks about 50 times a day, which no one else plays" cluster of pseudofame
am i enough of a microcelebrity to have my own category
You make posts so yeah
are berk and funnydoggo the same reaction just with different names
yes but they're slightly different shapes
Idk
was about to post a script with a harpy, remembered that vati hates whimsy and joy
I can travel into babytalk as the apprentice harpy if you'd like
exile d1
Angel protection
still exile
whether or not b&s is a "good script" is very disputed, but every single game I have run or played of this has been hilariously fun for both teams
fuck "objectively good" this script is funny as shit
i love it
Maybe I'll take the harpy over the poisoner
hey vati, does lunar eclipse count as non-famous?
lunar eclipse is 100% famous
Probably not
Lunar eclipse? I hardly know 'er!
idk lunar eclipse
it's like, one of THE most famous customs
it's the script people made to make lunatic work
honestly, all i know famous custom wise is catfishing and ec 😔
HHR?
Lunatic is fun on there ngl
oh right, hhr is also famous
the non-levi script people made to make lunatic work*
woe, poisoner/harpy be upon ye on it comes at night
flight of the bumbling idiots is another one of these "idc if it's objectively good every game i've seen played or run has been fun so it's good in my book" scripts
harpy on ICAN isn't a problem because the only 5 minions on ICAN are spy, poisoner, spy, poisoner, and spoisoner
monkey 🥹
honestly yeah I would probably kazali pick organ grinder instead but that's out of sadism
be the most insufferable kazali you can be
unless i have a death wish i am probably picking marionette
Kazali doesn't work here tbh
it's literally the kazali release script, make of that what you will
back to basics is probably zets' better kaz script though
My sibling in christ, this is the Kazali reveal script
wdym, clockwork cyborg is the kazali release script
:sotrue:
no it's kazali's home script, slightly different
like how Sects and Riots was Riot's reveal script but its homescript is https://discord.com/channels/569683781800296501/1315367635365527574
kazali/drunk with no drunk detector is what it is but it IS a really funny way of balancing out "kaz has a hard time with mechconfirmy roles"
tealady
drunk
...
NO FANG GU
safe from hystrex
tea lady is oh wow
it's a kazali spoisoner script that manages to NOT make spoisoner hegemonic
wdym?
spy poisoner is ridiculously centralizing in kazali if you have that combo on script but specifically spy/pois/scarlet/DA turns out okay because they're all super strong and spoisoner has 0 safety net
i get spoisoner and scarlet, but why da?
confirmation mimicry and also burning executions
Can't bluff execution survival without DA
but yeah re. exclamation marks I basically always want to see weird documents full of stuff
Well... you could
It's also just good for evil to be DA protecting people
an execution where you don't kill anyone is an execution where town doesn't eliminate a demon candidate
Ooo can I see
the notoriously world-opening golem:
:wail:
we could've won that game so easily
well, i could've 😔
many such lost games
