because it's really easy to know if it's a pukka game

#

but it also kills a lot faster than zombuul

tardy wyvern
#

so is ur list comparing how much better they are on solo scripts rather than not

ivory ridge
#

so it's kinda a pain in the ass to put anywhere that isn't exactly bmr

tardy wyvern
tardy wyvern
# ivory ridge yeah

in that case I agree with your pukka placement but I still don't think it works solo very well

ivory ridge
#

pukka doesn't work well

#

i think it's arguably work worse in non solo

tardy wyvern
#

pukka needs bmr likes

ivory ridge
#

because like

#

the script isn't built to accomodate specifically it

gray ridge
#

They added the awnser to this for app players soo

  1. Seamstress/VI (7 times)
  2. Dreamer (6 times)
ivory ridge
tardy wyvern
#

with yagga po shab you need something that can just straight up turn off deaths

#

bc otherwise po charges become obvious

ivory ridge
#

yeah that's fine

tardy wyvern
#

po and shab are definitely the two easiest to wokr with demons on bmr

#

also shab doesn't mind being outed as much as pukka since it can kill so quickly

ivory ridge
#

shab sink also exists a lot more

#

and shab sink imo is intended design

tardy wyvern
#

yeah I think people are often not willing to sacrifice the two kills though

ivory ridge
#

also hear me out, ojo multi kill on some script

tardy wyvern
#

true

ivory ridge
#

but yeah

#

another thing is

#

this is kinda a weird thought

#

but pukka outed is worse than ojo po but what if you just built a script around it 🔥

#

put yeah, i can see an argument for pukka B

tardy wyvern
#

the way I interpreted the list was that I was just ranking it based on how much I would want to play a solo script with that as the demon

#

I wasn't considering how much better or worse it was than not solo

#

so I think if you're looking at it from that angle it makes sense to put pukka higher

foggy grotto
#

Shab and Po work fine off of BMR

tardy wyvern
#

it's definitely harder to get them to work than just having 1kpn demons

#

and I do agree that of the BMR demons shab and po are the most workable

foggy grotto
#

sure

acoustic chasm
#

i have to agree... too much in the game benefits really hard knowing evil are in a line

#

6/17/31: what's a lesson you learned playing or running a game recently?

foggy grotto
#

the players still mostly had fun i think but it was not a good game

next marlin
#

I once played a game where the ST barista-sobered 4 out of 6 townsfolk

#

I was evil

foggy grotto
#

damb

#

yeah barista is deceptively strong

next marlin
#

The info looked so incredibly vortoxed too

#

But not when it's mechconfirmed 100% true it isn't

foggy grotto
#

oh that’s painful

next marlin
tacit fiber
#

I just played a game that like

zenith lotus
#

you did see the incident earlier today vati, right? 😉

tacit fiber
#

did the opposite

next marlin
#

req how much 12p livetext have you run

tacit fiber
#

A bit

next marlin
#

I want to be able to start actually thinking about the game and pay literally any attention to a single thing that's going on the entire time and not spend 2 hours in a blind panic trying to think about votes 😭

zenith lotus
#

i suppose there is a difference between large fulls and small teensies

next marlin
#

because the experience of running 2+ minion livetext is "I have no idea what's going on at all and am completely blind to every single thing in this game because I'm in an all-consuming panic about votes"

#

which is a great way to be yelled at for balloonist info

tacit fiber
#

my experience with livetext live voting has always been negative

#

Today we just ended the game in a draw bc we just couldn’t deal with it

sour harness
#

??? really

next marlin
#

yeah I saw that game

zenith lotus
next marlin
#

I don't like that it's harder to backread but I really need to just...not do things that make me miserable and are more stressful than the whole rest of the game combined

zenith lotus
#

miscommunication and technical difficulties

sour harness
#

Then you run the vote again so it's fair??

tacit fiber
#

and the demon outed evil and the marionette

sour harness
#

Oh

foggy grotto
#

how does livetext voting work

sour harness
#

.live works almost exactly like in livevoice, but if you're not doing that, you go into the noms thread, the ST gives time for the accusation & defense, then votes open and players send their (sometimes conditional) votes in chat and the ST has to manually process them (usually either by sending a message with everyone's vote and live editing it though at this point I just react to their messages)

#

You'd be surprised how much overtalking there is considering it's a text format

tacit fiber
#

tbh

#

the "overtalking" aspect of livetext is kinda my favorite part?

#

bc I can still read everyone's messages

next marlin
#

The part that stresses me is trying to corral a million votes in like...30 seconds

#

If I take long enough to think, people will complain that the game is 3 hours long

feral snow
#

sounds like livevoice lol

next marlin
#

The manual processing makes it much tougher

tacit fiber
next marlin
#

Honestly yeah

tacit fiber
#

(iirc 8 person Omnibucket 1 was 2 hours long)

next marlin
#

I feel bad enough about the fact 12p is about 2.5 though

next marlin
#

It was 1:30am through 4:30am

#

Also it was 9p

tacit fiber
#

my point exactly :)

#

I think I ran Omnibucket 2 in like a normal amount of time

#

so like idr why that game actually took 3 hours but like it is what it is

Ahh

foggy grotto
#

isn’t NWC like

#

incredibly volatile

#

as in none of its characters really work outside of the home script

feral snow
#

have you ever played fishbucket

FYF is the same, omnibucket is nothing if not weird

It really doesn’t

Nah but moreso if a wizard wishes to change everyone's roles, probably just deny that wish or say "i'll allow that if you give up x"

I moved there a few months ago, still trying to fit in. I don't really know anyone there and mostly just spend my time at home either looking for a job or playing games. In game terms - I'm the Recluse. Fortunately for everyone, the Fortune Teller and Slayer happen to be good friends, and after the Fortune Teller gets a yes on 2 people night 1 (not me), the Slayer shoots one of them and randomly hits the Demon D1, ending the hunt. (Setup included Librarian, Chef, Fortune Teller, Undertaker, Ravenkeeper, Monk, Slayer, Recluse, Butler, Spy, Poisoner, Imp) After the Hunt, I get to know the Librarian (who had seen me as Recluse) better and we become good friends.

Die

honest tide

Yes. Wizard wish or some ish idk

I don’t make mistakes

So it must be by design

Besides the Al had I suppose

2/19: (time isn't real)

what design space would you like to see explored? the idea can come from a homebrew that integrates well, a speculated character, a contest winner, or something totally new!

(spoiler tag anything that's speculated to be a future release)

tacit fiber
#

Face your Fears explores it in a really interesting way

barren zenith
karmic rose
#

I want to see a minion that's incentivized to be killed by their demon. There are minions that want to be executed (Goblin, Boomdandy) and demons that kill their minions (Vig), but there's no minion-sided incentive for a minion to die in the night

next marlin
#

Oh that's interesting

karmic rose
next marlin
#

The "minions dying at night" design space is, uh, hard enough (Vigor took like 200 drafts to end up with...that)

barren zenith
fresh shard
#

Evilsided resurrection

barren zenith
#

I think it's already been explored, but OM options are super limited when custom-building

lean isle
#

Players coming back to live could be interesting space to explore, but it is challenging to make that work.

next marlin
#

Yeah you need to make a resurrection role that doesn't just lead to town executing all the resurrectees

#

e.g. "resurrected and turn evil" doesn't work for that reason

acoustic chasm
#

Resurrection is cool

#

More Demon protection is cool

barren zenith
#

A demon who chooses (minion count) player(s) to become evil but the evil players don't learn the demon was an idea I had which I thought would be interesting.

#

So like they can change their evil team every night

fresh shard
#

Oh yeah, definitely more safety net minions

acoustic chasm
#

that's talking from a script building Point of view

#

from a homebrew point of view

#

More medium strength info gathering townies

#

Balloonists/Fortune Tellers of the world

foggy grotto
barren zenith
acoustic chasm
#

I think Fortune Teller on a moving demon script is closer to that

#

than say flowergirl

next marlin
#

I was just thinking about this earlier -- imo FT is deceptively weak compared to its appearance

#

In a small game your info can just be uninterpretable

#

Same at mid player counts with demon mobility

acoustic chasm
#

Fortune Teller has a red Herring which means that any pings it gets can just be waved off

foggy grotto
#

once

acoustic chasm
#

Its such lovely beginner friendly design

foggy grotto
#

isolate your red herring guys!!!!

next marlin
#

I've run tb games where a fully sober FT with entirely true info received a yes on the entire grim

acoustic chasm
#

sure

next marlin
#

Including their prior no

acoustic chasm
#

you can isolate red herrings

#

that still takes about 2 nights

next marlin
#

But yeah on that note: demonfinders! They're such a tricky but interesting design space because the counter to the thing they do being so strong is that they all have to do it in bizarre ways

acoustic chasm
#

To conclude 'this player is good or the Demon'

next marlin
#

The narrow-definition demonfinders we have right now are Fortune Teller (most flexible option but wants some demon mobility), Flowergirl (cringe), Exorcist (too busted off BMR), and Snake Charmer (Snake Charmer)

acoustic chasm
#

i mean I'm currently trying to work on a homebrew which is all about info reversal

#

It's v difficult

#

yes yes i know

karmic rose
karmic rose
foggy grotto
#

the fortune teller when i have a FG Imp LM Scarlet Woman Barber Pithag script

next marlin
#

evil could use some help I think, have you considered poisoner

foggy grotto
#

TRUE

#

don’t forget drunk AND puzzlemaster

next marlin
#

It's balanced if you barista sober the puzzlemaster

acoustic chasm
#

I don't like this script tbh

#

I think it needs some outsider mod

#

Have you considered Xaan?

foggy grotto
tardy wyvern
#

dont forget to put marionette so people who get correct info can be gaslit into thinking its wrong

acoustic chasm
#

Ok

#

I'd also recommend both Recluse and Goon

next marlin
#

I seem to be landing at "widow but strictly worse"

zenith lotus
karmic rose
#

Yeah, I think it would want to be xaan horizontal droison and not widow/sweetheart

barren zenith
next marlin
#

Horizontal droison is paradoxically very weak on an evil nightkills role

#

Because it's so much easier to solve for

acoustic chasm
#

i don't get chaos hatter

next marlin
#

And hyperspecialized evil nightkillers of this kind need subterfuge

karmic rose
#

the other option would be, on a BMR-style script, allowing the demon extra kills for the next N nights

next marlin
#

Yeah something vaguely penitent-like (except retaining the original ability) is an interesting space

#

(Penitent, from TBA)

karmic rose
#

that makes it much less of a glass cannon evil team

acoustic chasm
#

Husk (Minion) While you are dead, twice per game, during the night, choose a player: they die.

next marlin
#

Spy but the misreg is on the most useful evil to put the misreg on, at the consequence of your own life

acoustic chasm
#

mm

#

I mean Husk is really swingy

next marlin
#

Needs to be a fairly soft 'might' so the game isn't fully unsolvable but it's a spy LM situation and good wins spy LM games

acoustic chasm
#

Its guarenteed extra kills

foggy grotto
#

alright ive made peak

#

the FT will never find the demon

next marlin
#

love the minstrel

foggy grotto
acoustic chasm
#

add poppy grower so that Minions will never find the demon either

tardy wyvern
foggy grotto
#

brb

acoustic chasm
#

Also wheres Goon

foggy grotto
foggy grotto
#

do i remove lleech to add goon

acoustic chasm
#

ig goon and Recluse are similar

next marlin
#

Remove pm

foggy grotto
#

i think lleech is way funnier tho

acoustic chasm
#

so is drunk/PM

next marlin
#

Goon is much funnier on this script concept than pm

foggy grotto
tardy wyvern
foggy grotto
#

also even on a meme script like this i refuse to do +2 extra evils

acoustic chasm
next marlin
foggy grotto
#

bbbbbbbut floating drunk + PM

#

WAIT

#

does this need summoner

acoustic chasm
#

Lil Monsta Minstrel 🔥

foggy grotto
#

i think this needs summoner

acoustic chasm
#

Minstrel is my favourite Minion

#

sadly does I'm afraid m'lord

foggy grotto
tardy wyvern
#

summoner would be funny here but idk what you remove

foggy grotto
#

xaan is kinda covered by FG, Poisoner and Sentinel

#

god i hate that sentence

acoustic chasm
#

Mblord Mlord

barren zenith
acoustic chasm
#

If I could be so foolish as to inquire

#

Why isn't Choirboy+King on the script?

foggy grotto
#

oh true!!!!

#

i could swap out sailor and innkeeper?

#

i like the stupid droison tho

#

definitely sailor goes

barren zenith
#

Philo

foggy grotto
#

yeah fair

barren zenith
#

Is too much of a TF

#

That's unbalanced

#

Has to go

foggy grotto
acoustic chasm
#

excellent script

foggy grotto
#

absolute cinema

acoustic chasm
#

I especially adore how poorly Alsaahir works with 3 of the Demons and 3 of the Minions

#

I also adore how transforming a good player into a Summoner is an optimal N2 pit hag

#

no

#

it isn't

#

jinx

#

still it's a choice

next marlin
#

That jinx is alch summoner

#

However a good summoner still learns bluffs

acoustic chasm
#

Oh god

#

The jinx doesnt fix it

#

Yes

#

But the Good summoner can now turn themselves into an evil demon

#

if they so choose

foggy grotto
#

extra evil

acoustic chasm
#

could be an evil player

#

extra evil either way

#

but the good player will be on board 1 day earlier

foggy grotto
#

just noticed LM is literally illegal to be in play at B3 minions

#

that’s not grammar

#

whatever

karmic rose
#

perfect script design

foggy grotto
#

OH GOD

#

IM TURNING INTO ONE OF THEM

#

I DIDNT EVEN NOTICE THAT

barren zenith

Lol

ivory ridge

i'd rather skinkulus snv

#

😔

next marlin
#

most normal mizu take

ivory ridge
foggy grotto
#

what is fun and whimsical about skinculus

ivory ridge
#

fit in the theme of transformation don't you think

#

character, alignment and now gender

foggy grotto
ivory ridge
sour harness
#

We need more

#

They're so cool because they become an important part of the bluffspace like any good character

#

I've made a couple and then paired them with a silent minion town needs to solve for :)

#

It's that whole "this player's alignment is intrinsically tied to the gamestate" thing y'all yap about with steward except it's actually placed right

#

Because it doesn't cost an entire townsfolk for a dynamic you find everywhere anyway

#

It works well with widow!! But ET is the other character we have rn at that volume and it plays out very differently

#

As mentioned I've been exploring that design space and this is prob my favorite example

acoustic chasm
#

isn't this rather incentivise to just not out

#

like the good player

ivory ridge
#

i feels like seeker is a lot quieter than widow/et

sour harness
#

Sure but if you don't then you just lose

acoustic chasm
#

But yes

sour harness
acoustic chasm
#

sURE

#

But if the Seeker outs

barren zenith
#

Which dead player?

acoustic chasm
#

They don't need a good player to push on them to be their ping

sour harness
#

At that point yeah

acoustic chasm
#

It's a neat idea though

sour harness
acoustic chasm
#

yeah so a good player can just play as normal

#

Maybe be a bit more certain its not a poisoner game

ivory ridge
#

this flavor text is not it smh

acoustic chasm
#

:P

#

Homebrew is not refined

sour harness
#

I wanted no flavor text but that was taken already

barren zenith
#

So, good can just never win?

sour harness
#

Nah good can win by killing the seeker

ivory ridge
#

unless seeker die

acoustic chasm
#

That is true

sour harness
#

It's like ET

ivory ridge
#

seeker levi

acoustic chasm
#

Good can't win does change it

ivory ridge
#

my favorite demon

sour harness
#

So the prey needs to make sure the seeker is dead

barren zenith
#

Surely, without the phrase "while you live", it's a tad unclear?

sour harness
#

Isn't that implicit in all abilities

acoustic chasm
#

no

#

Even if dead is the exception

foggy grotto
#

unless it says “even while dead” it kinda is

acoustic chasm
#

not the rule

foggy grotto
#

yeah but that’s the exception

acoustic chasm
#

ye

foggy grotto
#

oh we’re agreeing

acoustic chasm
#

we're saying the same thing

#

Its just I break up sentences a lot

foggy grotto

Only the same discord chat

Which is bluffable 😔

"bluffable" my dear it appears brainrot have gotten to you

sour harness

it is pretty bluffable

its more like

its more like evil twin

but both are evil?\

acoustic chasm

if you know what I'm saying

sour harness

Vizier is bluffable if the script is built for vizier to not suck

Putting the Cult Leader next to a Vizier

sour harness

TRUE

ivory ridge
# next marlin finally, 33%

"On your first day, everyone dies except for 3. After a 10 seconds count down, the living player with the most vote's team win the game"

sour harness
#

I feel like that would have a lower winrate than 33%

acoustic chasm
#

It does say a lot about the Vizier that one of the better ways to play it is to never use your ability

sour harness
#

Good has info

acoustic chasm
#

social trust

sour harness

Yeah

ivory ridge
#

how can good have info when everyone die the moment the game started and you have 10 seconds

maybe the demon just happens to be that player who cannot lie when put on the spot

we're apparently in a seam no

acoustic chasm

What would an actual game between the secret thing players be like?

its kinda funny but i have no clue how most people here play

ivory ridge
#

wait i have the answer for some of this

next marlin
#

this is about 10% of livetexts and also it's going to be kenoboi's appgame

lean isle

It'd certainly be a peak game.

ivory ridge

there's this grim where i ask people to choose their fishbucket pick

#

idk how it's gonna play out though

sour harness

Secret thing game where we play across all formats

lean isle

No idea how most people here play though.

next marlin

yuh

next marlin

and somehow, across 2 different grims, the respective High Priestesses were Kenoboi and Requiem

tbf kenoboi doesn't have to worry about hp ping in my grim

Philo and courtier often have optimal plays on like n1/2, even though both are theoretically rewarded for knowing the gamestate

But "outsider for evil" is the idea

I'd find butler so much more interesting ST chose who the master was for the butler.

Wow really

#

To me that feels like it sucks the life out of the role

austere steppe

I find it a lifeless role as is.

#

There are some serious butler stans, I feel its just a contrarian position. Its functionally a blank token as is.

I think some demon that makes people mad about something would be interesting

Although I often look at outsiders from a bluffing perspective and you kinda need to play it in a certain way for it to have that kind of effect

Wish there were more official characters that used it

But I’ve made a few home brew demons cause I like the idea so much

I think something like “If you choose a dead player you gain their ability until dusk” would be interesting

21/2: You're playing your favorite Kazali script (not Fishbucket or derivatives) and you draw the Demon token in a 15-player game. What script are you playing, and which players in this thread are you choosing as which minions?

ivory ridge
#

choose you as pit hag and hystrex as summoner

#

then we push on vati and squall

next marlin
#

I fully cannot fit a Kazali onto Canadian Catfishing. There aren't enough demon slots

alpine silo
#

someone make me the vizier thats my only request

next marlin
#

#custom-script-discussion message

ivory ridge
#

smh

feral snow
#

Clockwork Cyborg. Vati is the Cerenovus, Axolator as Widow, and Amy as the Scarlet Woman

next marlin
# next marlin anyway you're the widow

Req is the cere because she consistently cooks as it and it frames Dire
Hystrex is the witch because he keeps complaining that not getting 2 million witchkills is a skill issue and I want to see the fruits of this labour. I'd actually rather make him godfather in a 15p but the problem is I am only ever negative outsider mod evil roles, it's a thing, I have a 100% rate of picking only outsiders as Kazali

#

I'm just hoping the one outsider I didn't pick was the plague doctor (probably Stick)

#

I would pick stick but I think she'd object even more to being the widow

sour harness
sour harness
#

Oh I get 3

next marlin
#

It's a 15p

#

So you're gonna have to witchkill 10 townsfolk for me 😎

sour harness
#

On it (the numbers don't even work)

next marlin
#

cc is intended to be bagbuilt with +2 outsiders in a 3 minion game and I seem to end up as "negative outsider mod evil" literally any context where it's possible

sour harness
#

Assuming both mizu and squall are playing I want at least one evil but I'm not sure who hmmmmm

next marlin
#

can't wait to roll gf-1 in kenoboi app bmr

sour harness
#

I think I want squall to mess with mizu

#

Actually yeah I'm confident in that, 3 of the games I've logged had "mizu why" as their notes and I was good in all of them

#

Vati do you want cere or widow

next marlin
#

widow

sharp violet
#

Also Clockwork Cyborg. Axo as the Cere, Kenoboi as the Godfather, and Autumn as the Scarlet Woman

next marlin
#

I'm gonna make the best savant bluff of all time (and lose because I was too confirmed)

sour harness
#

It's ok I'll night kill you

next marlin
#

widows get nightkilled shockingly often on cc

#

for...pretty much this reason

sour harness
#

Actually I changed my mind I want axo to be good

#

She's really good at the game, which is exactly why

#

I want her to tunnel

#

Hmmmmmmm

#

Req do you wanna be the witch

fast anchor
#

better answer my own question: It Comes At Night, with

Quilava Spy
Bhamber OG
Kenoboi Poisoner

I'd select Vati, but he's not playing this game because it's a Harpy script

#

and then i bluff harpymadness the whole game and lose because bhamber was the barber and my only way out of being the demon

#

Mizu is the Politician who plays for evil and wins with good

next marlin
fast anchor
#

(yes i've only run 1 non-kazali game of it comes at night what do you want from me)

#

anyway people love the harpy

ivory ridge
#

it what at night?

next marlin
next marlin
ivory ridge
#

anyway really funny outsider mod here

#

i think it works

fast anchor
#

what's zets's other kazali script?

next marlin
#

Back to Basics

fast anchor
#

can't find it but it's one that Vati would play I think

#

You get to be the Scarlet Woman

#

Hystrex DA
Requiem Poisoner

#

he better fucking cook with the da saves

ivory ridge
#

3 minion livetext is crazy

fast anchor
#

found it

#

mizu you're the poli again

next marlin
#

lol simultaneous

sour harness
#

CC
Vati widow
Req witch
Squall scarlet

Bluff ceremadness :)

ivory ridge
next marlin
# next marlin

anyway I can't pick hystrex because he's the steward and I need him to suffer (then he solves because his ping is the last good in f3)

ivory ridge
#

bluffing noble ping on a kazali script is super strong because you either get all good or all evil

sour harness
sour harness
fast anchor
#

you kill your ping and lose, even better

sour harness
#

So just make me a non scarlet Minion

next marlin
# sour harness I'd be more than happy with either of em

I'd rather gf if I weren't exactly the guy who's so unable to add or just-not-remove outsiders that every game I've rolled baron has been reracked for the ST forgetting to add outsiders, but I know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that the post-picks character distribution is gonna be 10/1/3/1

sour harness
#

Not 11/0/3/1?

ivory ridge
#

that just means 1 free outsider bluff

#

2 free outsider bluff??? 🔥

next marlin
sour harness
#

One of those outsiders is gonna be a moonchild tho

next marlin
#

anyway the last outsider standing is the plague doctor so whichever of you reads least socially horrifying can be the pd-scarlet

sour harness
#

And by one of I mean the only one left

next marlin
#

which I'm gonna need after I get executed by the banshee I killed on purpose

fast anchor
lean isle
#

So real

ivory ridge
#

pd with quiet minion is such a scary experience

lean isle
#

It is.

ivory ridge
#

i think loud pd is a much more interesting outsider 😔 esp if the evil team communicate with the st

barren zenith
fast anchor
#

oooh proxi sw goes hard

#

also I like how I'm the only one to not have CC as my favorite Kazali script 🙈

next marlin
#

it's kazali's homescript

ivory ridge
#

CC 🔥

#

Canadian Catfishing my goate

lean isle
#

It's literally the only Kazali script that comes to my mind, I have pretty much no experience with Kazali.

#

(pretty much because longtext)

barren zenith
#

Mathematician is probably the most powerful TF on the script 🔥

next marlin
#

longtext kazali sure is a technically legal thing, is my impression of it

next marlin
barren zenith
#

I've got to start bag-building around that

next marlin
#

the maths keep getting picked hilariously often so I do need a bit larger a sample

barren zenith
#

It's probably the most difficult custom (that is good) to bag-build for

#

Of the ones I've ran anyways

#

As you don't know if there will be a widow

#

Also, kazalis can just like not choose the widow and get a free damsel win lol

what's stopping you from playing text? 👀

ebon idol
#

😇

fast anchor
#

What did I do to you Hannah

ebon idol
#

My serious answer is I don’t like kazali and try not to play their scripts if I must, and I actually usually like picking ppl I know less 🙈

ebon idol
#

After you insulted me during board games

#

😭

fast anchor
#

Yeah but I didn't think the gloves were off gloves were off

ebon idol
#

We’re beefing

fast anchor
#

alright then

next marlin
#

I think the way I engage with things probably makes me more consistently able to participate in it than with live time formats where I get extremely into the idea of playing for a week in advance, then panic at the deadline

ebon idol
next marlin
#

However I keep getting stopped by stuff like "the kind of scripts I like don't actually work in longtext"

ebon idol
#

That is very fair tbh

sour harness
barren zenith
barren zenith
#

And all of the b3

sour harness
#

I played a longtext game and it wasn't my favorite but I'd be down to try again

#

Vati you should play bmr with me

#

We can play it in every format

next marlin
#

Be happy I agreed to one (1) bmr game

barren zenith
sour harness
#

Longtext bmr, livetext won't be a problem, app is happening (???), we can do a livevoice, uhhh come to the us for irl

next marlin
sour harness
next marlin
#

(from the Ballad of Stick and Babytalk)

sour harness
#

Yeah if I'm playing longtext I'm gonna pass on yaggababble

next marlin
sour harness
#

Vigor is cool, kazali has cool properties but it also happens to be mildly toxic

ivory ridge
#

all demon kinda suck anyway

#

is there even a 'fun' demon

next marlin
#

no it's the one that isn't a droison demon so it's definitionally the one that isn't toxic

barren zenith
#

I like kazali, but systematically picking the same people as your minions isn't fun for others.

sour harness
#

And occultist isn't a demon, however it needs to be mad about learning something new every day to not be executed. However, once per game, it can actually learn a fact!

ivory ridge
#

oh yagga is fun

next marlin
supple dirge
sour harness
#

Oh yeah also

barren zenith
sour harness
#

But outsiders are also there to make up for the extra good voice

#

And vigor amplifies evil voices

lean isle
#

My experience with text Yaggababble was quite short.
Had to Barber swap away like N3 as I was getting cooked really quickly.

sour harness
#

So it's not that questionable

next marlin
#

I think my full response to this is gonna be another 5000 word wall of blog

ivory ridge
#

my experience with yaggababble is given the phrase "X is the demon"

#

anyway X got executed day 1

next marlin
#

But I don't think it breaks even or that outsiders themselves break even in the first place

lean isle
next marlin
#

Vigor also has reduced townsfolk counterplay due to the nature of its ability which is frustratingly antisynergistic on top of that

next marlin
#

Very cool, to be clear, because it's an interesting tradeoff

#

But still

ebon idol
next marlin
ivory ridge
#

you didn't mentioned occultist

#

i'm a resident occultist hater over here

sour harness
#

Squall did this to me

#

Go yell at him irl

ebon idol
next marlin
#

But yeah longtext

#

I do have pearly gates in my script folder

ebon idol
#

It's on my todo list for STing eventually

sour harness
#

Wasn't it meant to be an snvlike that works in longtext

#

Wasn't that the point

ebon idol
#

It is the point yeah

next marlin
#

Longtext isn't a no but I think it's something I'll need to be pressganged into

ivory ridge
#

longtext kinda suck

#

😔

next marlin
#

if you're the vizier in a typhon line, yes

ebon idol
#

🤢

lean isle
sour harness
#

Axo pressganged me to play longtext and I was just like "ok."

next marlin
#

(mizu was just the vizier in a typhon line in longtext)

ebon idol
sour harness
#

I can't abuse the fallacy of human reaction in longtext

barren zenith
#

Puzzlemaster with Vortox on Pearly gates is rly cool imo as I always automatically add drunk to my vortox scripts.

sour harness
#

Axo's running my homebrew in longtext tho so I can't be mad :)

ebon idol
#

Puzzle master vortox is underrated

#

Especially I love the dynamic with sentinel, because who cares if PM doesn't do anything, it doesn't need to do anything, it's presence is enough

sour harness
#

True

barren zenith
#

Self-drunked PM 🔥

sour harness
#

Sentinel justifying townsiders is really cool

next marlin
#

and we route back to kazali

barren zenith
#

It can also drunk the farmer, slayer, soldier and monk

ebon idol
#

I don't like dislike kazali due to the outsider mod I dislike it because I don't trust the large majority of ppl to make socially minded and healthy decisions

barren zenith
#

In a vortox game

ebon idol
#

it's why i'm a wizard, vizier, etc hater

sour harness
ebon idol
#

LoT also does do it better imo

next marlin
#

yeah but I don't particularly like typhon because it's uninteresting in exactly the way vigor is interesting (them being polar opposites)

#

it's an extra evil that loses if it does anything with it

barren zenith
next marlin
#

I'm warming up to it a bit but it's inherently weird

next marlin
ebon idol
#

I think those minions work better because of that, and also because like

#

if you have 3 of DA/Witch/Assassin proccing, good luck getting the headway to solve the game in time

tacit fiber
#

sure

tacit fiber
#

yyayayay

#

Clockwork Cyborg
Vati Cerenovus
Axolator Scarlet Woman
Hystrex Widow

#

is my probable answer

sour harness
#

I'll take it

#

Widow is fun, I like being frontloaded

next marlin
#

I like how I consistently default to cere

tacit fiber
#

you remind me of me

sour harness
#

Ur literally the cerenovus irl fr fr

tacit fiber
#

and I am amazing on Cerenovus

#

you also are Cerenovus bluffing Occultist bluffing Savant

sour harness
#

Have you considered that widow SW witch synergize better than cere

tacit fiber
#

counterpoint, on CC I need to TPK

#

and Cere is the only way I can

sour harness
#

Fair enough

next marlin
tacit fiber
#

(CC seems to always have a banshee to counter the tpk)

sour harness

Because you're mad that you learn something new every gets shot

Hey I changed my choice so you'd throw in the other direction!!

tacit fiber
fast anchor
#

Cool, make hystrex the sw

#

He can deal

sour harness
#

I can but I'd rather be a silly little guy like a widow

#

Or someone who can cook like a cere

#

Or both at once with a witch

#

I can take SW tho

next marlin
#

you're gonna get one witchkill and it's gonna be on dire the pixie tc who broke madness

sour harness
#

Did you really think I'd choose dire n1

next marlin
#

no you're getting it on like d4

sour harness
#

Did you really think I was living to d4

next marlin
#

Well you'd better because you got the pd scarlet

fast anchor
#

I have one trick as the Witch and that's choosing corpses and bluffing a better minion

sour harness
#

I claim TC d1, get axo to nom for science and then tunnel on her puzzledrunk ysk info, then pivot out of TC d2 because I'm in a triple claim with both frames

fast anchor
#

and I buy it hook line and sinker after pushing back on it for 0.1s

sour harness
#

Exactly :D

fast anchor
#

because surely the longtext players are the more likely ones to claim tc on d1 as a minion and pivot

next marlin
sour harness
#

Cere or widow

fast anchor
#

on mobile so can't make this meme but

Why is it that whenever pivots out of an inplay role to a random-ass bluff, it's always from one of you three?

Mathematician, Town Crier, Fisherman

#

If someone gives me math/fish on a custom (eg pearly gates) I am marking them as a Minion and getting them killed

sour harness
fast anchor
#

That's different

#

If it was fisherman to canni you would've been evil

next marlin
#

the fishermen were both good, funnily enough

sour harness
#

I'm legally obligated to bluff amne in a bare minimum of 50% of games I play where amne is on script

#

I usually aim higher than that tho

next marlin
#

I can't wait to run final nail at a higher count than 7 so I can stick every "role that isn't real" in the game in the bag

sour harness
#

Idk I feel like there's gonna be some more references to nails

fast anchor
#

me when I run final nail at 15 and have to run HP General Savant Amne Pixie Mutant and Cere all in the same bag

you should do that more

Fisherman is ezpz

next marlin
#

she can't put in PM, I need to bluff it to sell fang gu

fast anchor
#

And Juggler isn't that much overhead

barren zenith
#

Savant, HP and general are the main ones imo

fast anchor
#

(you are nd poisoned)

#

And then vati says he learned the recluse who dies to the slayer shot and

next marlin
#

I'm the cere or boffin in a no dashii game so I get executed in f3 after playing "puzzlemaster who got jumped" for several days

ebon idol
barren zenith
#

I might join that actually

#

Depending on when the RtC ends

lean isle
#

Let me check my future commitments

ebon idol
#

If anyone who doesn't want to play would want to just backpack in my ST thread I am usually pretty vocal in it 🙏

barren zenith
ebon idol
#

I am yeah

#

I dont think ive ever actually played it in text funnily enough

barren zenith
#

Nice, I'll backpack if that's alright with you

#

Cause I'm scared of STing while I'm in 2 games

ebon idol
#

Yeah I don't blame you lol

lean isle
#

Yep, it is fair.

#

My only other future game is Oops all Wizards (upd: as well as game I'll ST), so have pre-inned for Pearly Gates

fast anchor
#

wdym offchance, isn't it like d3

#

how is a 12p alhad script ending d3??

ebon idol
#

also ngl I find it very funny pearly gates was my first script and the one I put the least effort in initially and it just, works. works well in fact lol

#

also playtesting tbf

#

(just as an aside I wouldn't comment on stuff like that out of game because it's very strong meta info)

barren zenith
#

Apologies

oh I am in kibitz

I'll just delete those messages rq

I have made more than two scripts??

have you???

this isn't the beef this is genuine

next marlin

didn't you cowrite a script

#

so 2.5

fast anchor
#

Yeah that's the second one

next marlin
#

no

ebon idol
#

cannons, pearly gates, unfriendly invitations, nostrum (good idea bad execution), it's not really my script but technically edits to speedy nights (that script needs vortox I will die on that hill)

next marlin
#

there's another hannahscript iirc

#

yeah UI

fast anchor
#

Oh I forgot about unfriendly invitations

ebon idol
#

unfriendly invitations can work

fast anchor

That one's a banger

ebon idol
#

I just need to like, playtest it and update it

fast anchor
#

the speedy fork doesn't count imo

ebon idol
#

it doesn't

fast anchor
#

and nostrum is a script the way Canadian catfishing is a script I think

next marlin
#

terrifying sentence

ebon idol
#

nostrum just like, needs feburary 2025 hannah to give it a little bit of love

#

because it is kinda crap

fast anchor
#

I think nostrum needs to be punted into a ditch

by February 2025 hannah

ebon idol

🍖 I think you need to be punted into-

fast anchor

(this one is the beef I don't think this)

omw to come back from f3con with several injuries

ebon idol

yeah no nostrum has legion and ojo I can't stand for this

fast anchor
#

wasn't legion the entire point

ebon idol
#

yes thats why it's bad

#

legion fucking sucks

fast anchor
#

oh fuck that reminds me i need to run my legion script in longtext it'll go so well

barren zenith

I actually don't rly like legion. Other demons literally cannot push legion worlds

ebon idol

good luck getting 7+ socially minded players ⭐ have fun with the ticket you get added into by the end of the game

Cause the "legion team" have voting power

next marlin
ebon idol
#

that's called NWC

fast anchor
#

I've done it as the Vortox

like that's legit the Vortox wincon in poppyganda lmao

#

get a good player down the legion tunnel

next marlin
#

"hm, every legion world is mechanically impossible? I'll decrease my prior on legion to...70%"

next marlin
barren zenith
#

Surely one player being tunneled on legion won't force a skipped execution

fast anchor
# barren zenith Could you elaborate?

Vortox kinda shits itself and dies on poppyganda because

gestures at PG/Vortox

motions wildly at the info suite on Poppyganda

So if you're the Vortox you basically have to take a goodie into the Legion tunnel to win on f3 in my experience

#

The win condition isn't "win with everyone building Vortox", it's "win because you've separately convinced enough of town they're your Marionette or a fellow goodie in Legion to rise up before it's too late"

#

It's terrifying but super fun if you can pull it off

barren zenith
#

Why wouldn't the other player just nominate you and win tho?

next marlin
#

Is there such a thing as a vortox script where the info landscape neither murders it mercilessly or is mercilessly murdered with no middle ground

fast anchor
#

Pearly Gates ngl

#

Half the town dies and the other half reverses its info

#

And Balloonist is there too

next marlin

from a "looking at tokens in a grim" pov vortox pearly gates looks super duper evilsided but I'm also thinking about it on live timeframes

Pearly gates is evilsided in live

you have a math it's fine

ebon idol

But also, to make it not evil sided in live just, be a bit less firm with sentinel imo

it doesn't solve it but sentinel is explicitly meant as a balancing tool

tbh pearly gates is a bit evil sided even in text

karmic slate

Hannah you remember that game I shared where the damsel got guessed in f3 as the last living good right

It is probably a bit evil sided in text, but like 55/45 ish idk

I do

barren zenith

#

(it's also the one on the tumblr iirc)

ebon idol

Imp/ND/Vortox + SW/Spy + PM/Recluse/Mutant/Damsel is just, kinda brutal

How so?

tacit fiber

depedns on how you run it imo

does the RH give a no?

they should get a no on the RH

that's word of Steven

Oh, is it

eh

barren zenith

I never thought that was allowed

tacit fiber

it's been said differently by different tpi members iirc

Interesting

tacit fiber

imo it's scirpt dependent

If you run it like that, it's fun

I've never seen a script where it'd make more sense to give them a yes on the RH??

tacit fiber

RTTB

fast anchor

Doesn't have an FT

tacit fiber

but that's re: Vortox + Spy

tacit fiber
#

it's mostly misreg v vortox in general

fast anchor
#

Also you should absolutely fuck the Empath over with spy in rttb wtf

ebon idol

I think pearly gates honestly is less evil sided in theory mainly because most of the games I've run just get shit on in one way or another in practice

Evin the creator of RTTB explicitly says not to

fast anchor

me when witch with no tc on pearly gates

rttb is good sided in my experience so allowing spy to do things helps balance it imo

lemme check my rttb stats u might b right

Why do people track their games?

because their mental health doesn't suffer when they do ig?

next marlin
# barren zenith I feel like my stats would just insult me lol

I never got into the habit of tracking played (as opposed to STed) games closely enough but I found it really reassuring when the app released player stats for a bit because a run of ~10 games in a single day as a very new player that I lost all of is way too prominent in my memory compared to how I actually do in this game

(in retrospect the STing of those games was unhealthily evilsided)
