1/19: Update to this question. A BOTC character of your choice has asked for 1 wish. However, they asked for a wish from the Wizard and will recieve a price

What did your chosen character wish for? And what was the price?

#

What is this Harpy agenda

indigo osprey
#

My own imprssion is that harpy isn't popular because people aren't strict enough on enforcing harpymadness, making it incredibly weak.

ivory ridge
#

Harpy when “they read socially evil”

indigo osprey
#

exactly

#

To quote myself: "Harpy instructions should be more ‘you think it is vital thzt this person is executed today because of reasons’ and less ‘oh, he just sounds somewhat evil to me so I am just goinf to nominate him but you ginuys do you if you’t believe me’'

22/1: I planned to do this one a while ago but forgot, now that there won't be any more releases for a while, which monthly release is your favourite? (Organ Grinder and everything after)

I think it’s a toss-up between Wizard, Kazali, and Zealot

The double Knight/Steward release

I like Noble 2

Actually are we talking about the character or the stream release itself

If actual release, Gnome

pseudo fulcrum

I was imagining character

shrewd cloud
#

Kazali is mine personally. Great character theming, fun build up and speculation, and seeing that Outsider mod for the first time was a wild experience

If based solely on actual character though, Shugenja

Extremely fond of the xaan. Great both to script build around and to add on if needed, super fun puzzle for both teams, can play in a few different ways, really helps out some demons that need more script building support

multiple S-tier characters here

100%

Yeah I joined just after Village Idiot released

tardy wyvern
#

wait VI is in this list. my pick is 100% VI

rocky idol
#

Kazali, Harpy, Vizier, and Banshee are all just so perfect

tardy wyvern
#

VI is like, top 3 townsfolk in the game imo

foggy grotto
#

VI is definitely A tier

#

not S tier imo

#

I think seeing Yagga release was soooo cool when I first started

rocky idol
#

but people have convinced me to "stop liking" Kazali and Harpy

so I'll say Banshee

I think I like Wizard and Kazali more though

i think vizier can be fun but you need to be a certain kind of person to enjoy playing vizier i think

kazali is a demon I find it hard to be super excited about

rocky idol
#

is Magician kind of an objectively better and more fun character than Poppy Grower? Probably

foggy grotto
#

kazali is definitely my second favorite demon

rocky idol
#

but I still love Poppy Grower

tardy wyvern
supple dirge
#

I like kazali, can be hard to fit on scripts because of the outsider mod and making it so there's no obvious choice which minions to choose though

rocky idol
#

people have "convinced" me to "not like" Harpy, Poppy Grower, Kazali, and Marionette, all of which have been my favorite character(s) at different points in the "past"

next marlin
#

Yeah people love putting kazali on scripts where it absolutely sucks ass

I also really really don't like the arbitrary outsider modification. I know it's necessary for the character to work but it kinda irks me

get ready for vati CC textwall

I need to run livetext in 50 minutes

I will say that if I see Kazali and then Pit-Hag/Poisoner in #custom-script-discussion, I immediately point that out

#

Actually, if I see Poisoner at all, I immediately point that out

#

it's one of my built-in automatic routines

At this point the second of those is just cargo culting

as you've shown, you do like pointing out poisoner as a script issue 😉

It's legitimately a little scary to me that I just say shit and suddenly 3 kids start posting it everywhere

#

However I'm right about everything so it's fine

rocky idol
#

you, hystrex, and my own observation and experimentation have led me to my opinion about poisoner

#

i'm selectively deaf to your thoughts about harpy

let's not oversimplify them into 'poisoner doesn't go on scripts' then 😉

but everything else

gasp vati winked. im the only one allowed to wink 😦

"poisoner doesn't go on 50% of scripts"

i literally bought a monopoly on the emoji

next marlin
rocky idol
#

i do think Poisoner : Trouble Brewing :: Minstrel : BMR

#

Poisoner fits well on TB, and people think that because of that, it fits well anywhere

#

rather similarly to BMR

#

actually

zenith lotus

#

Mastermind is probably a better comparison

next marlin
zenith lotus
#

i should do that

next marlin
#

Anyway kazali is just vigor if it worked on a fundamental level (I will not elaborate)

shrewd cloud
#

Not Vat I’m guessing it’s referencing how both of these Demons are ones that make Minions more socially trustworthy. Vigor does that by carving out bluffing space with its Outsider mod and killing Minions, while Kazali does it by giving their Minions free bluffs (Kazali can also choose players they know have a good social game when evil)

Vigor overall works fine to me on a fundamental level but it’s so much more challenging and unintuitive for players to understand compared to Kazali. And Vigor in general is sort of a mess of multiple different abilities in one (what with the dead Minions, fewer Outsiders, and poison on top. Vigor is absolutely built to fill in the design holes in SnV lmao)

#

My answer to pig’s question has to be Wizard (obviously) but I think the close second for me is Xaan

After actually playing some games with VI I’ve come round to it a lot more than I previously had, so it’s around B tier now

1/23: What is your favorite Outsider to play is? Why?

hollow oasis
#

Probably….. Damsel or Recluse

Damsel because being important to hide is fun

Recluse because I play it like saint

supple dirge
#

Puzzlemaster because I love trying to solve the entire game which that character is all about

cold veldt
#

Mutant. Self explanatory

#

i really go all in with mutant madness, i will do my best to survive as long as possible, even when its probably not the best idea. such as when i was the lleech hosted mutant that bluffed king the entire game and made it to final three. i did not win that game

I love that both do similar things but in very different ways

PM is also wonky with roles like Lleech or Lil Monsta, which is fine if the script is one demon like them and 3 normal demons, but if at least half of the demons are ones where even a correct puzzleguess is questionable utility for town, the role just becomes strictly super damaging compared to the outsider baseline (especially if there's positive outsider mod in play because you can easily land at something like a Lleech/Baron/Puzzlemaster or Lleech/Godfather+1/Puzzlemaster game where town's info is completely annihilated)

My fave homebrew experiences have definitely been my friends' Oops! All Amnesiacs games. I've played in 6 or so, and had fun even if they were unbalanced.

#

I can't actually remember the last time I played in a normal game without homebrew characters. Because for those games I'm almost always the ST.

Yeah ok sounds fun

hmmm

#

maybe alch wizard shouldn't be on script after all

#

balancing alch wizard is so insanely hard and sometimes outright impossible

#

i was just thinking of like "wish i want to make" and some of them is just, broken 😭

#

either that or "should this just be an amne ability"

Good thing the one full I've put wizard on has both alch and amne

"each day, learn at least 3 statements. Most are true and some relate to who you've whispered"

Whats beachcomber and eavesdropper

Homebrew characters

sour harness
#

Not verbatim but
Beachcomber: each day visit the ST to privately learn something no other on script townsfolk could learn
Eavesdropper: each day visit the ST to learn something about each player you whispered today, in any order

#

(eavesdropper's home script (NWC) has a lot of characters that interact with whisper mechanics)

Okay, as someone who has played homebrews from the start, I kinda get confused and don't understand why a lot of people, especially in recent time are not hugely fond of it. I get the whole I don't want to memorize a new script or being tired in general, especially if the Homebrew is more chaos. Other things I don't get. Like some people just refuse to touch homebrew (which yes, is within their rights), but why? The worst case scenario is a game isn't tested well, and you spent 1-2 hours having a laugh with your friends probably. It's something that's long confused me in general. Like the gap between seeing a base script for the first time, seeing a custom script for the first time, and seeing a hb script for the first time is so large, for what to me seems like no reason. Also, I say this because I think homebrews are cool. They sometimes have characters that can even be cooler than some real characters.

Like BMR is my favorite of the base 3, but I know it's worse designed than TB, TB is the best designed of the base 3

#

I think shitry reddit homebrew has poisoned the well or something where most people hear the phrase "homebrew" and just think it's either some shitty broken mess or it's incredibly overcomplicated for most players (no shade to FYF, they knew they weren't designing characters for a general audience) & thus they don't want to look at it or give it a chance or anything

#

And it sucks cause like there's so much good homebrew out there now and there's more on the way

#

We just need more fun, accessible scripts

#

The script library supporting homebrew now is a great help towards that

# sour harness What does "best designed" mean to you

Most balanced, bag-versatile, most consistently arriving at f3/f4 with ~2-4 possible worlds, all good characters should be bluffable by evil in every condition unless the unbluffability is key to the balance of the ability (like a Virgin proccing has to actually be a Virgin, otherwise it would be kinda weak in the context of TB if evil could also replicate that end of the interaction), a unique array of abilities (not a shit ton of overlap), and as many characters as possible should be fun to play as, with, & against

#

I don't think I missed anything?

rare plume
#

day by day makes MUCH more sense 😭

flat lintel
#

could also run dead by daylight

(lots of people take "best" in reference to games to be some kind of objective quality, which it's just not)

And given those criteria, yeah I agree

27/1: What's a character token you love drawing on its base script, but hate pulling on a custom?

next marlin
#

Mutant (in base 0 or 1, it's uninteresting to roll in base 2)

It needs the poli element/"your existence strongly implies your alignment can change" for me

Which most customs don't have with their outsider mod suite

gusty bear
#

innkeeper

Grandmother

And if I'm going to solo solve I want a more interesting puzzle (Gossip and Savant are my two favourite roles)
