so is ur list comparing how much better they are on solo scripts rather than not
so it's kinda a pain in the ass to put anywhere that isn't exactly bmr
yeah
this applies to all BMR demons to an extent imo
in that case I agree with your pukka placement but I still don't think it works solo very well
pukka needs bmr likes
They added the awnser to this for app players soo
- Seamstress/VI (7 times)
- Dreamer (6 times)
no, po shab arguably can goes long way with enough death mod i think
with yagga po shab you need something that can just straight up turn off deaths
bc otherwise po charges become obvious
yeah that's fine
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
yeah I think people are often not willing to sacrifice the two kills though
also hear me out, ojo multi kill on some script
true
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
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
lies
Shab and Po work fine off of BMR
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
sure
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?
Beware the Barista
mostly just because i made a few bad barista calls in an SnV game i recently ran and then when trying to use barista to help the losing team accidentally swung the game so far to the other team winning
the players still mostly had fun i think but it was not a good game
The info looked so incredibly vortoxed too
But not when it's mechconfirmed 100% true it isn't
oh that’s painful
I need to start using .live voting in livetext
…
I just played a game that like
you did see the incident earlier today vati, right? 😉
did the opposite
req how much 12p livetext have you run
A bit
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 😭
i suppose there is a difference between large fulls and small teensies
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
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
??? really
yeah I saw that game
basically, a nom that wouldve gotten 3 votes (out of 5) on the lleech host ended up getting 0
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
Ok but why
miscommunication and technical difficulties
Then you run the vote again so it's fair??
at that point the other vote had been run bc the st didn't see it
and the demon outed evil and the marionette
Oh
how does livetext voting work
.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
tbh
the "overtalking" aspect of livetext is kinda my favorite part?
bc I can still read everyone's messages
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
sounds like livevoice lol
The manual processing makes it much tougher
mm the solution is to just make the game 3 hours long and just say "livetext is long"
Honestly yeah
(iirc 8 person Omnibucket 1 was 2 hours long)
I feel bad enough about the fact 12p is about 2.5 though
3
It was 1:30am through 4:30am
Also it was 9p
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
What's Omnibucket?
Homebrew
Ahh
isn’t NWC like
incredibly volatile
as in none of its characters really work outside of the home script
have you ever played fishbucket
FYF is the same, omnibucket is nothing if not weird
it functions
This is my least favourite things, let me talk about my points and PLEASE do not flood noms

If the Good Wizard Wishes to do something that lets them break the game like seeing grim, don't monkeys paw it and make them alch widow, just make the cost that the grim is 50% right and there's also 2 demons now /j
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"
Some players are fine with that wish but others may really not be for it
Clock/noble/amne klutz/saint/goon cere/gf pukka/legion
If you say you win you win
Pretty sik
16/2: You are now in Ravenswood Bluff as it's about to start a Demon hunt. How did you get here, what team are you on, and do you win?
What script are we talking about?
Yes
TB: I'm the Virgin. I confirm a top 4 but I get killed soon after (by the demon).
BMR: I'm the Chambermaid, Dire is the Demon and we execute him very early.
SnV: I'm the starting Sweetheart who gets Fang Gu jumped and I bluffed Savant so well that people just trust me.
I am legion, promoting the chipotle rice cult
I mean
I'm the Voudon who came to the town looking for the infamous Occultist, and instead somehow ended in a place where people still make up their info even if they didn't learn something new everyday.
Anyway I decided to just turn evil and kill a few people for fun, then voluntarily leave once I realized that this is BMR and nobody is learning jackshit 😔
By Lynyrd Skynyrd?
You have no whimsy
canadian burrito chain are simply just better, you guys don't need to argue over chipotle vs qdoba
I sold my whimsy
I’m gonna say they both suck
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.
Where I live most people prefer Qdoba
I love how this keeps the fundamental law of botc that spoisoner games end in either 3 evils alive or a d1 slayer shot
The Pit-Hag and I (the Cerenovus) try to manifest a god of death in Ravenswood Bluff because it's built on a fissure between realities, which makes it a better spot for unhinged demon cult rituals than most. We probably lose because my lore explanation for "why I don't die in the ST intro" is "I'm a minion whose demon died, and the new demon and I have an agreement"
I get falsely announced as the vizier and lose to twins d1
Im a monk who fails to prevent even a single demon death and gets executed at final 5 because no one believes me
magic portal, good, yes if I live and no if I die regardless if demon dies
2/17: Late one! An Al Hadikhia has picked you N1. You are good but do not know your role. Do you choose to live or die?
Does nobody else know their role
Die
night one????
It’s blind clock tower so no
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)
Zombuul fake dying
Face your Fears explores it in a really interesting way
Design space for homebrews?
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
Oh that's interesting
anything you want to see in clocktower more, the idea can come from homebrews or not
The "minions dying at night" design space is, uh, hard enough (Vigor took like 200 drafts to end up with...that)
Outsider mod (specifically on a demon so I can add it to my script lol)
Evilsided resurrection
I think it's already been explored, but OM options are super limited when custom-building
Players coming back to live could be interesting space to explore, but it is challenging to make that work.
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
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
Oh yeah, definitely more safety net minions
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
Nomination related abilities. there are some fun ones in the old piglix doc but there’s tons of design space related to noms that’s still unexplored
FT is not medium strength imo
I think Fortune Teller on a moving demon script is closer to that
than say flowergirl
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
Fortune Teller has a red Herring which means that any pings it gets can just be waved off
once
Its such lovely beginner friendly design
isolate your red herring guys!!!!
I've run tb games where a fully sober FT with entirely true info received a yes on the entire grim
sure
Including their prior no
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
To conclude 'this player is good or the Demon'
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)
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
Or some evil-sided resurrection role that pairs with existing resurrections! much like how DA and every execution survival on BMR need each other
this makes the demon much more of a glass cannon, but the two ideas that come to mind would be some triggerable xaan night or else some significant game acceleration
the fortune teller when i have a FG Imp LM Scarlet Woman Barber Pithag script
evil could use some help I think, have you considered poisoner
It's balanced if you barista sober the puzzlemaster
I don't like this script tbh
I think it needs some outsider mod
Have you considered Xaan?
sure but i’ll also throw on sentinel
Hatter too!
dont forget to put marionette so people who get correct info can be gaslit into thinking its wrong
I think it has to be a droisoning role but I'm having trouble thinking of what droison it works with
I seem to be landing at "widow but strictly worse"
make sure its specifically chaos hatter
Yeah, I think it would want to be xaan horizontal droison and not widow/sweetheart
Normal hatter? What's that?!
Horizontal droison is paradoxically very weak on an evil nightkills role
Because it's so much easier to solve for
i don't get chaos hatter
And hyperspecialized evil nightkillers of this kind need subterfuge
the other option would be, on a BMR-style script, allowing the demon extra kills for the next N nights
Yeah something vaguely penitent-like (except retaining the original ability) is an interesting space
(Penitent, from TBA)
maybe allowing the demon to misregister for the rest of the game?
that makes it much less of a glass cannon evil team
Husk (Minion) While you are dead, twice per game, during the night, choose a player: they die.
Each night, you see the Grimoire, even if dead. If the Demon kills you, they might register as good and as a Townsfolk or Outsider.
Spy but the misreg is on the most useful evil to put the misreg on, at the consequence of your own life
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
Its guarenteed extra kills
love the minstrel
yeah it exists just to fuck over the exorcist and FT
add poppy grower so that Minions will never find the demon either
stormcaught FT
TRUE
Also wheres Goon
ig goon and Recluse are similar
Remove pm
i think lleech is way funnier tho
so is drunk/PM
Goon is much funnier on this script concept than pm
no it has demon finding potential
lleech is so funny because it just invalidates every demon finder
also even on a meme script like this i refuse to do +2 extra evils
so does bluffing goon
See the problem is it usually has to find someone who's NOT the demon and that's unironically more helpful here than someone who is
Lil Monsta Minstrel 🔥
i think this needs summoner
summoner would be funny here but idk what you remove
Mblord Mlord
Average script
oh true!!!!
i could swap out sailor and innkeeper?
i like the stupid droison tho
definitely sailor goes
Philo
yeah fair
excellent script
absolute cinema
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
Oh god
The jinx doesnt fix it
Yes
But the Good summoner can now turn themselves into an evil demon
if they so choose
Why not an evil player?
extra evil
could be an evil player
extra evil either way
but the good player will be on board 1 day earlier
just noticed LM is literally illegal to be in play at B3 minions
that’s not grammar
whatever
perfect script design
"literally"
Lol
real
i'd rather skinkulus snv
😔
most normal mizu take
you just hate whun and fimsy 😔
what is fun and whimsical about skinculus
encouraging people to transition midgame
fit in the theme of transformation don't you think
character, alignment and now gender
clocktower: the only game where transitioning mid game is an optimal play
i mean it's not call clocktower for nothing
Widow/ET volume minions
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
i feels like seeker is a lot quieter than widow/et
Sure but if you don't then you just lose
But yes
Socially yes, mechanically no
Which dead player?
They don't need a good player to push on them to be their ping
At that point yeah
It's a neat idea though
Whoever learned the seeker
yeah so a good player can just play as normal
Maybe be a bit more certain its not a poisoner game
I wanted no flavor text but that was taken already
So, good can just never win?
Nah good can win by killing the seeker
unless seeker die
That is true
It's like ET
seeker levi
Good can't win does change it
my favorite demon
So the prey needs to make sure the seeker is dead
Surely, without the phrase "while you live", it's a tad unclear?
Isn't that implicit in all abilities
unless it says “even while dead” it kinda is
not the rule
yeah but that’s the exception
ye
oh we’re agreeing
power of the reply button
Gasp
i mean have you ever seen us in the same room
i haven't
"bluffable" my dear it appears brainrot have gotten to you
Oh I know
That was fully intentional
but both are evil?\
if you know what I'm saying
Vizier is bluffable if the script is built for vizier to not suck
i just lost a vizier game
oh
as the vizier
yeah it’s pretty weak
you know what, i got my secret thing answer
a minion worse than vizier
hm
Just add alch and Boffin
but have you considered
finally, 33%
Putting the Cult Leader next to a Vizier
TRUE
"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"
I feel like that would have a lower winrate than 33%
It does say a lot about the Vizier that one of the better ways to play it is to never use your ability
why 😭
Good has info
social trust
Yeah
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

guys vizier is balanced just put ET and saint on the script
Just put Fearmonger on and remove the Jinx
Night 1 exists
yeah but do you think you can out that info in a 12 players game before 10 seconds end?
yes
you know
Yeah
also just peek at the grim smh skill issue
Just yell
The extra evils we have
Kenoboi when is app bmr happening
Make the game unbalanced
when i get minion tier again
the conspicuous chambermaid:
i stopped paying for it because it’s not the summer anymore
It's actually simple
I have it! I can literally just join the lobby
Drag vati along idk
Not rn it's 3am and I'm arguing with hystrex in homebrew
We solved it when TPI asked what to do with extra goods with 7-9 player games
But yeah make a scheduled
Forgot we were arguing my bad
We simply need the 6th Character type
can you make a scheduled app game
minion-outsiders
is that a thing
Minsiders
so, thralls?
THRALLS
the Vizier is the first Minsider
Chambermaid is hard for me to think about but I feel like "broader-definition demonfinder"
yeah you can do them in #event-listings I've done it
It actively hurts to be the Vizier
the chambermaid tells you who the demon is not, so you can find who the demon is 
Minsider
"guys I'm the stew- my invest- I dreamt miz- SEAMS NO ON- ard who ping on aut- is cere between keno- as the cannibal o- VATI AND AX-"
that's what the 10 seconds gonna be like
I like how the steward felt their role was important enough to speak first
If autumn is in those f3 then go off i guess
Every time I've been in a seam no I've been the good half 😎
axol you seeing this?
What about a klutz confirmed seam yes 👁️ 👁️
every time I've been in a seam pick in a game axo was somehow connected to I've been the demon but we're ignoring that half of the precedent
seeing what
vati accused you of being evil
.
we're apparently in a seam no
this is making me think
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
wait i have the answer for some of this
this is about 10% of livetexts and also it's going to be kenoboi's appgame
It'd certainly be a peak game.
there's this grim where i ask people to choose their fishbucket pick
idk how it's gonna play out though
Secret thing game where we play across all formats
No idea how most people here play though.
oh yeah that was the one where you had people choose roles for someone else
yuh
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
always get sent to a minion
beside d1 which i'll send to proxi
im the recluse :/
no shit we're in a seamstress no
Oh that's good everyone should point to me then so my team wins the game
this is fiddler style pointing not boomdandy style
yeah because i want to make a 33% wr minion
boomdandy is a real minion minion for a reason
I LOVE WHALEBUCKET DRAFT
she :wail: on my buck till i'm 
oh! I also want more "push your luck" characters
Philo and courtier often have optimal plays on like n1/2, even though both are theoretically rewarded for knowing the gamestate
thrall?
Iirc it’s basically a term for Minions that can be detrimental to evil? Which old Boomdandy lowkey was lol since it gave good so much time to solve the game after the explosion
There's more that can be done with bluffs, Steven has said "If there's something you think you know for sure, there's a character that means that you don't know that for sure" so I wouldn't be surprised if more bluff related characters show up eventually
Madness demon
I'd find butler so much more interesting ST chose who the master was for the butler.
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.
Demons that don't kill or are incentivized not to, po riot leviathan etc.
made a homebrew zombie minion that poisons both tf neighbors when night killed
and can revive
So true, timer Demons are peak.
I want to see a minion that's incentivized to kill their demon. There are minions that want to kill Townsfolk (Psychopath, Witch) and minions that kill outsiders (GF), but there's no minion-sided incentive for a demon to die in the night. smh
scarlet woman?
nah nah I want the minion to make the choice to kill their demon not the demon
||This was a joke btw||
||Assassin already accomplishes this after every snakecharming||
Yeah I kinda wish we had more characters like po
I think some demon that makes people mad about something would be interesting
Idk I love the social pressure it causes. I find it much more interesting than saint or recluse where you usually are just like “hey avoid me. My ability sucks for you”. It’s more like “I’ve chosen who I’m with today, I’ll reevaluate after”
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
It’s honestly such a cool design choice
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
Ooo yeah
I am working on a document in response to the original HP argument, especially given my numerous problems with Emma's HP as well as the arguments they put forward in there.
I am amused by the 👀 eyes emojis now on my statement there
I'm looking forward to seeing it
(I think my position is probably intermediate between what I glean of the two)
Mine is prob much closer to Emma's but like I still really wanna see this
Emma's HP?
I don't know a lot about HP (because I can't process social information well lol) but I'd be very curious how this turns out
I think it's pinned somewhere
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?
Catfishing
choose you as pit hag and hystrex as summoner
then we push on vati and squall
I fully cannot fit a Kazali onto Canadian Catfishing. There aren't enough demon slots
someone make me the vizier thats my only request
anyway you're the widow
send the script again
#custom-script-discussion message
smh
Clockwork Cyborg. Vati is the Cerenovus, Axolator as Widow, and Amy as the Scarlet Woman
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
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
Vati widow or cerenovus (whichever I'm feeling at the moment) and you as the scarlet
Oh I get 3
On it (the numbers don't even work)
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
Assuming both mizu and squall are playing I want at least one evil but I'm not sure who hmmmmm
can't wait to roll gf-1 in kenoboi app bmr
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
widow
Also Clockwork Cyborg. Axo as the Cere, Kenoboi as the Godfather, and Autumn as the Scarlet Woman
I'm gonna make the best savant bluff of all time (and lose because I was too confirmed)
It's ok I'll night kill you
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
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
Actually I'm not playing it because ICAN above 1 minion is always spoisoner 😎
i've seen 1 two-minion spoisoner kazali game of this script with a sample size of like 4, how dare
(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
it what at night?
issue of not being exactly like me
Mizu no
what's zets's other kazali script?
Back to Basics
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
3 minion livetext is crazy
CC
Vati widow
Req witch
Squall scarlet
Bluff ceremadness :)
i'm 100% bluffing noble here i think
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)
bluffing noble ping on a kazali script is super strong because you either get all good or all evil

I'd be more than happy with either of em
It's literally a spy imp script, I'm sorry but I'm fully ignoring my token
you kill your ping and lose, even better
So just make me a non scarlet Minion
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
Not 11/0/3/1?
cc bagbuilding guidance
One of those outsiders is gonna be a moonchild tho
anyway the last outsider standing is the plague doctor so whichever of you reads least socially horrifying can be the pd-scarlet
And by one of I mean the only one left
Anyone but me pls
which I'm gonna need after I get executed by the banshee I killed on purpose
mfw the ST gains the PD-godfather ability to get an extra kill
So real
pd with quiet minion is such a scary experience
It is.
i think loud pd is a much more interesting outsider 😔 esp if the evil team communicate with the st
Clockwork Cyborg
Vati as the Widow
Autumn as the Cerenovus
Proxi as the Scarlet Woman
oooh proxi sw goes hard
also I like how I'm the only one to not have CC as my favorite Kazali script 🙈
it's kazali's homescript
(jk)
It's literally the only Kazali script that comes to my mind, I have pretty much no experience with Kazali.
(pretty much because longtext)
Mathematician is probably the most powerful TF on the script 🔥
longtext kazali sure is a technically legal thing, is my impression of it
probably General but math is just a general-like
Really?
I've got to start bag-building around that
the maths keep getting picked hilariously often so I do need a bit larger a sample
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
actually I would pick quilava widow but my understanding is he doesn't play live timeframes ever so it's too distant a dream
Pick myself as the poisoner and axolator as the organ grinder
what's stopping you from playing text? 👀
Sorry I think I have to do it the other way around so she loses
😇
What did I do to you Hannah
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 🙈
I told you the gloves were off
After you insulted me during board games
😭
Yeah but I didn't think the gloves were off gloves were off
We’re beefing
alright then
I've pretty seriously considered it
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
You should 🥳
However I keep getting stopped by stuff like "the kind of scripts I like don't actually work in longtext"
That is very fair tbh
GOOD ANSWER 🗣️🗣️🗣️
We'd love to have you in longtext! 
Boozling, Pearly Gates and Word Around Town are very commonly played scripts in longtext fwiw
And all of the b3
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
Be happy I agreed to one (1) bmr game
They basically all work in longtext (although the yaggababble should be given approximately a 2 word long phrase)
Longtext bmr, livetext won't be a problem, app is happening (???), we can do a livevoice, uhhh come to the us for irl
my impression was more like a 2 character long phrase at this point
I am
(from the Ballad of Stick and Babytalk)
Yeah if I'm playing longtext I'm gonna pass on yaggababble
Don't make me insult -- uh. uhhhh. Actually I definitely have the worst favourite demons so I can't insult anyone else's
Vigor is cool, kazali has cool properties but it also happens to be mildly toxic
no it's the one that isn't a droison demon so it's definitionally the one that isn't toxic
I like kazali, but systematically picking the same people as your minions isn't fun for others.
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!
oh yagga is fun
Vigor is like the coolest demon in the game. Is it functional as a role? Great question. Next question
Is that the yagga phrase?
Oh yeah also
I think it's functional on SnV and specifically with a DA on customs
I randomly remembered a recent comment you made about vigor removing an outsider + outsiders making up for the extra good vote = questionable decision
But outsiders are also there to make up for the extra good voice
And vigor amplifies evil voices
My experience with text Yaggababble was quite short.
Had to Barber swap away like N3 as I was getting cooked really quickly.
So it's not that questionable
I think my full response to this is gonna be another 5000 word wall of blog
my experience with yaggababble is given the phrase "X is the demon"
anyway X got executed day 1
But I don't think it breaks even or that outsiders themselves break even in the first place
(not because of phrase being tracked or something, but because of 2 pieces of info pointing toward me)
Do it
Vigor also has reduced townsfolk counterplay due to the nature of its ability which is frustratingly antisynergistic on top of that
go off king
thank you i have objectively correct opinions on everything 😌
I like that hystrex gets blocked and I just get muted
yeah if stuff like pearly gates is your style imo it works very well in text
It's on my todo list for STing eventually
It is the point yeah
Longtext isn't a no but I think it's something I'll need to be pressganged into
if you're the vizier in a typhon line, yes
🤢

Axo pressganged me to play longtext and I was just like "ok."
(mizu was just the vizier in a typhon line in longtext)
honestly sounds like you need a better script and a better ST 🙈
I can't abuse the fallacy of human reaction in longtext
Puzzlemaster with Vortox on Pearly gates is rly cool imo as I always automatically add drunk to my vortox scripts.
Axo's running my homebrew in longtext tho so I can't be mad :)
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
True
Self-drunked PM 🔥
Sentinel justifying townsiders is really cool
and we route back to kazali
It can also drunk the farmer, slayer, soldier and monk
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
In a vortox game
it's why i'm a wizard, vizier, etc hater
LoT does it better idk what to say
LoT also does do it better imo
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
Tell that to #1280673118373023805
I'm warming up to it a bit but it's inherently weird
CS is a special case because Typhon/Yagga/death mod is brutal
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
yyayayay
Clockwork Cyborg
Vati Cerenovus
Axolator Scarlet Woman
Hystrex Widow
is my probable answer
I like how I consistently default to cere
you remind me of me
Ur literally the cerenovus irl fr fr
and I am amazing on Cerenovus
you also are Cerenovus bluffing Occultist bluffing Savant
Have you considered that widow SW witch synergize better than cere
Fair enough
I think I've dropped into the first layer of that particular mask a little more than I usually would in this server lately but people seem to still go along with it
(CC seems to always have a banshee to counter the tpk)
Because you're mad that you learn something new every gets shot
Why are all of you making me the SW I'm gonna throw so hard
Hey I changed my choice so you'd throw in the other direction!!
imma get executed on d1 either by dire or just "req is playing so evil rn >:("
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
you're gonna get one witchkill and it's gonna be on dire the pixie tc who broke madness
Did you really think I'd choose dire n1
no you're getting it on like d4
Did you really think I was living to d4
Well you'd better because you got the pd scarlet
I have one trick as the Witch and that's choosing corpses and bluffing a better minion
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
and I buy it hook line and sinker after pushing back on it for 0.1s
Exactly :D
because surely the longtext players are the more likely ones to claim tc on d1 as a minion and pivot
I picked the puzzlemaster and we know it
Cere or widow
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
Me when I pivot from amne to Cannibal as a good player
the fishermen were both good, funnily enough
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
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
Final nail reference
Idk I feel like there's gonna be some more references to nails
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
Me on my way to pivot into one of these :D
pre-in I'd like to make dylan mad as the amnesiac
wait, Proxi, have you played Pearly Gates yet
I think I played once
You're forgetting cerenovus, fisherman, puzzlemaster and juggler lol
Fisherman is ezpz
she can't put in PM, I need to bluff it to sell fang gu
And Juggler isn't that much overhead
Savant, HP and general are the main ones imo
"Get [Vat No Dashii bluffing PM] and [random "puzzledrunk" player] to talk"
(you are nd poisoned)
And then vati says he learned the recluse who dies to the slayer shot and
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
Saliban is running pearly gates, 2nd in queue 👀
Let me check my future commitments
If anyone who doesn't want to play would want to just backpack in my ST thread I am usually pretty vocal in it 🙏
Are you playing the Pearly Gates longtext?
Nice, I'll backpack if that's alright with you
Cause I'm scared of STing while I'm in 2 games
Yeah I don't blame you lol
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
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)
Apologies
oh I am in kibitz
I'll just delete those messages rq
first script out of two
ok hannah
I have made more than two scripts??
Yeah that's the second one
no
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)
Oh I forgot about unfriendly invitations
unfriendly invitations can work
That one's a banger
I just need to like, playtest it and update it
the speedy fork doesn't count imo
it doesn't
and nostrum is a script the way Canadian catfishing is a script I think
terrifying sentence
nostrum just like, needs feburary 2025 hannah to give it a little bit of love
because it is kinda crap
🍖 I think you need to be punted into-
(this one is the beef I don't think this)
and I said, "promise?"
omw to come back from f3con with several injuries
yeah no nostrum has legion and ojo I can't stand for this
wasn't legion the entire point
oh fuck that reminds me i need to run my legion script in longtext it'll go so well
I actually don't rly like legion. Other demons literally cannot push legion worlds
good luck getting 7+ socially minded players ⭐ have fun with the ticket you get added into by the end of the game
you have to be careful but you absolutely can imo
Cause the "legion team" have voting power
just have all the good team be hopelessly paranoid people like me
that's called NWC
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
"hm, every legion world is mechanically impossible? I'll decrease my prior on legion to...70%"
Hmm this implies vortox as a demon is capable of winning games
Could you elaborate?
Surely one player being tunneled on legion won't force a skipped execution
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
Why wouldn't the other player just nominate you and win tho?
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
Pearly Gates ngl
Half the town dies and the other half reverses its info
And Balloonist is there too
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
I'll post Peraly Gates here rq
who hardsolves if people are convinced it's Vortox when it's Vortox
HP mentioned

it's in my scripts folder and I play around with grims for it a lot
wait where do I see this
#1334854502624526429
and vortox spycluse is much meaner on a live timeframe
Pearly gates is evilsided in live
you have a math it's fine
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
I'll pretend to know how to navigate it too lol
Hannah you remember that game I shared where the damsel got guessed in f3 as the last living good right
Just ask for kib
(it's also the one on the tumblr iirc)
Imp/ND/Vortox + SW/Spy + PM/Recluse/Mutant/Damsel is just, kinda brutal
which is the point
FT + vortox is weird?
How so?
No RH, first no means they've found the demon
they should get a no on the RH
I run it where red herring is seen as a no, I think that's RAF
that's word of Steven
Oh, is it
eh
I never thought that was allowed
it's been said differently by different tpi members iirc
Interesting
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??
RTTB
Doesn't have an FT
but that's re: Vortox + Spy
Also you should absolutely fuck the Empath over with spy in rttb wtf
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
Witch go brrr
Evin the creator of RTTB explicitly says not to
me when witch with no tc on pearly gates
oh that's interesting then
yah
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?
Fun
it gets boring writing down every game as a win 😌
I don't track because I already know I'm terrible at clocktower
and don't need the stats to rub it in lol
Yeah, it also made me realize I'm terrible at drawing Minions.
21/33 of my RTTB games have been good wins
checks out
lol, lmao 25% evil winrate on RTTB
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)
the app stats are funny because I barely play on the app
so, like, I've never had a repeat token there even though I know my most drawn is probably Slayer
Mine is flowergirl
I don't use the app, I just know it's flowergirl
I kinda lost track of characters, mine is probably Chambermaid or smth. (I don't play app)
I think it actually is clockmaker overall actually
because that includes games where I substituted for somebody which the app stats don't
my actual top is Vortox at 17 and Imp at 15 (then Lunatic at 14 🙈)
mine are seamstress/VI/Dreamer
We get it
Other people can enjoy things
nuhuh only me
lol, why me as Spy?
jokes on you i would never be caught playing an organ grinder script
I don’t think there are enough livetext players here to answer that question
CC, Vati can be Cere, Hystrex can be Godfather and Axo can be the Witch
