anyway this is btb
it's the only script that makes kazali spoisoner viable
(by having all the minion combos be equivalently broken)
?
will throw up with kaz poisoner, nty
I don't agree
yeah and you have known weird positions on minion strength
doesn't look bad at all. though i fear da+sw
This is not a poisoner infoscape 😭 why is pois with science
poisoner is a very delicate character
what 😭
tbf nobody's ever tried it
anyway it works in practice which is the place things need to work
DA aint even that guy anymore tbh
3 YSK
I'd give it a shot
big if true (big)
ok if it works in practice then fuck everyone who says it sucks
This is not my Beautiful House (I think?)
that's all I need to hear 🤩🤩
(there's some WC script with poisoner and science)
No things need to work when I rotate them in my head, nothing else matters
things that don't work in practice: godfather on cc. please help
It's got light science yeah
-godfather +barber
so true
🤩
this script needs 7 insanely damaging outsiders
tbf
that fixes its main problem, which is that the outsiders don't singlehandedly destroy every game
this is why I guessed Parlour as damsel
bc I didn't belueve that 4 damaging outsiders would be racked
you dont know me
putting in all 6 next time
oh the funniest part is that pd/damsel/pm/moonchild is a totally plausible bag
I was right
sure but at that point in the game, if that's the bag, evil's won
the original bag had +poli then i realized i forgot to pick kazali and had to reroll
lmao
notably if that had been the bag it would not have ended up with four in-play outsiders
in parlour's spot there's a decent chance i bluff lib seeing damsel and get guessed d2
sure, the bag removed the most "good for good" outsider there
(pings among the ft claims obv)
in parlour's spot i'd go all in on dc'ing the fortune teller and then bluff pixie
that's 100% helping good mhm def
yeah that tends to happen
that or it's the recluse who either starts bluffing a townsfolk and loses or keeps claiming recluse and wins
does the pm drunk the widow here
Moonchild obv what else
Drunk the kazali
drunk kaz
bet you wish you picked godfather now
No u
that remind me i put an evil traveler on a solo fang gu script
dw travelers arent real either way
just make reverse BH
i was about to pm drunk one of the outsider to compensate but medway through i realized if the outsider is fang gu jumped to the game is just over for evil
homescript interaction
drunk the fang gu so they never jump to the puzzledrunk
(the pm end up drunking themselves instead)
anyway I've seen cc bagbuilt at 11p with pm/pd/damsel/recluse and good won
but the kazali picked 2 outsiders
what if the kazali pick none 😭

dw moonchild always picks demon
omg
NO THAT GAME NEVER HAPPENED
nevermind secret thing is already spent today
ill use tomorrow's secret thing question to ask about the top 3 most damaging outsider
That's when you, the Storyteller, reconsider your life choices.
no no you see, in that case you drunk the scarlet woman
Golem, it has smash in its flavortext fr fr
Damsel is one of the least damaging because it ends the game so no more violence can occur 
running this rn on the app
PICK GODFATHER PICK GODFATHER SOMEONE PLEASE PICK GF 🙇♀️ 🙏 🙏 🙏
Vati in my longtext thread when I draw Kazali in CC:
(I will pick Widow Cerenovus as medway intended)
if i roll kaz the next time i play CC< i will
you will lose the damsel wincon and lose the game due to no sw
cere GF lowkey goes hard i think
I can't add outsiders to a setup to save my life so I know I picked the damsel as widow anyway
all info will either be wrong or founded on lies so the good team'll play werewolf but worse anyway
The info roles on this script are strong enough you only need one of them to get anything useful to solve (it's always Moonchild)
towncrier
confirms the minion who damselguessed is a minion which confirms the lib/damsel pair
which solves via process of elimination
Is a demon bluff, not an info role
I see
but there's no fang gu on cc who's gonna bluff it
currently being played on the app but i cant spec for some reason unfortunately
just ran the most insane game of this ever
The demon outed evil in FINAL EIGHT
AND WON
lobby was full probably
final day was all evils + the politician, the demon and a confirmed good were both trying to sway the poli into nommin/not nomming
oh ok
eventually the politican DECIDED TO PLAY FOR GOOD
and nommed the demon
but then the ceremad banshee used both their votes
and broke madness
and evil won
huh
it was actually wild
wild
oh i just realized this was the same game lol
wild game
yeah it was all 1 game
14p will do that
mhm
also there were like 8 nominations each day
and 2 days where no living player was executed
best actual TC info in practice:
why does that ping me
😭
Cerenovus + Banshee strikes me as a janky interaction
I know I have personally avoided it in the past when putting together scripts
What can a Banshee reasonably say here to maintain madness as not being the Banshee when the ST announces that they are in fact the Banshee and might have used their Banshee ability a day or more already?
hm, looking at this game, I have decided to update the script for vati to better align with player experience
its definitely intentional
cerenovus hard counters banshee
just claim to be the character they are and dont use their ability
i wouldnt break madness for that
this is fake, put in widow like twice more
Who are they fooling
amne shenangians
no one
or claim ST mistake
Sure amne is like the only thing
the main reason a cere locks a banshee is to prevent their ability from being used
like in the game above i wouldnt have broken it if the banshee just claimed what they were mad as and did nothing
Just in principle
The point of madness is creating an act to confuse other players
There is no act if there is no way to replicate an effect
yes its not perfect but i think the cool mechanical counters outway the social jankiness
i would love to get vati's thoughts tho
I think I'll be pushing a 5.3 with boffin soonish
It's not ideal but everything else is worse
Town should just kill the cerenovus 😎
run double widow
It's a bit more common a play than I intended it to be so I think my ruling has shifted towards letting ceremad banshees freely singlevote but not doublevote
But it's also a thing the script has on purpose
Cere is always going to have weird interactions with roles with any public component
pff
How's CC for one minion games? I'm considering running it today because it looks fun, but am likely to only have 8 or 9 people
Leans more towards good than at other counts but perfectly functional
(I think on net the script is slightly goodsided at 1, slightly evilsided at 2, and balanced at 3)
Be more careful with PM, and Moonchild is on the more outsidery end of its balance range because killing good players is worse (in practice the moonchild always picks an evil player and solves)
Disaster, billions must die, the west has fallen, etc etc
What does boffin do
vati I think you should just add Hannibal
sober the damsel while it tries to look like the widow
wait
no
templar
or agitprop i dunno
or the objectively funnier option: chairman
legit boffin abilities:
- lib (seeing pd/poli/mc/etc)
- general
- math
- dreamer
- amne
- banshee (kinda)
- recluse
- pd
- pm
"guys please I'm a good minion over the widow 🥺 I can give you dreamer or uh uh uh puzzlemaster? widow does both of those better save 1 outsider that might not even be in the bag? please pick me anyway 🥺"
It's almost like literally no released minions will do something better than that
wait for an unreleased minion to come with the carousel :)
Your argument is "people will pick it", which means I think it's a good fit :^)
Vizier :3
Omen (real)
Vizier actually does something different over Widow
this script has like 10 different sources of ongoing info to push on/go off of
Vizier has several problems here but the sticking point that ultimately rules out multiple minions is "what configurations make widow pings unbluffable"
It loses
well, that's not different
wrong :3
I just want to say i like the funny monkey
I would rather have godfather over boffin
kenoboi doesn't
sad…
also organ grinder multiplies evil team configurations where other minion abilities are unbluffable
no I'm ignoring req not kenoboi get it right
:(
👉👈 Marionette?
similar to OG, godfather isnt really bluffable here if it actually gets to use its ability
ok nvm ignore req
OG however at least has an ability
even hystrex admits that won't work, which says something
grr
lemme go over all the minions
It's the worst choice
anyway starting work on the hybrid homebrew cc fork with gf -> omen and [something] -> occultist
vat just add wizard nerd
what’s omen again
I am trying to diversify picks
or add xaan
"things you are mad about might become true"
oh fun
xaan+kazali is insanely swingy
consider:
people will choose it
also
funni
Assassin - too easy counterplay to banshee
Baron - no
Boffin - worse widow
Boomdandy - ?
Cerenovus - on script
Devil's Advocate - ? edit: too powerful
Evil Twin - bad socially
Fearmonger - bad
Goblin - ? edit: bad with PD
Godfather - coming off
Harpy - vati no likey
Marionette - no
Mastermind - no
Mezepheles - no
Organ Grinder - too loud
Pit-Hag - no
Poisoner - no
Psychopath - too loud/powerful
Scarlet Woman - on script
Spy - worse widow (kinda)
Summoner - no
Vizier - too loud
Widow - on script
Witch - on script
Wizard - no
Xaan - ?
goblin/xaan
so there are 4 minions that idk why it's not over boffin
cool
Boomdandy, DA, Goblin, Xaan
goblin and boomdandy have been discussed pretty extensively
goblin might be the pick
DA just autowins here
yes I juts don't remember it
swoblin moment
is there a problem with swoblin
no discernable difference
i mean dreamer/savant exist on this script
They aren't always in play
goblin's interactions with plague doctor are pretty horrific in this info landscape (the game is fully unsolvable if a pd claim dies ever); boomdandy works better but this script is begging to not have an execution disincentivizer because it's already hard for town to kill into the evil pings that exist and there are too many endgames with 1 million living minions as a consequence
that's the swoblin in question
oh ok
"goblin with the scarlet woman ability" is not an outcome I'm enthusiastic to put here
no
can someone give a summary of what the issue was with boomdandy as well
I see the vision though I don't like hatter goblin either
boomdandy works better but this script is begging to not have an execution disincentivizer because it's already hard for town to kill into the evil pings that exist and there are too many endgames with 1 million living minions as a consequence
isnt that almost just swoblin again but slightly delayed
boomdandy is basically the role you put on a script if you need a reason for town to not kill into evil pings all the time
yea that makes sense
maybe the 5th minion should just be wizard lol
also hatter's playstyle is less interesting
i mean you say that wizard will always be picked but idk how true that will be in real games
Boffin is for the greedy Kazalis out there I like it
evil players bluffing wizard wishes with no in-play wizard is a fun dynamic too
and other minions have more guaranteed value for the evil team than wizard
its not really a centralising pick imo
any more than widow is
the best description I've seen of kazali wizard is that it's the philo-snakecharmer of kazali picks
and philo-snakecharmer is based and funny
it's not strictly optimal but it is absolutely going to be way overrepresented for reasons irrelevant to strict optimality
i just dont know if you can say that itll be way overrepresented until other people start playing with it
I don’t think it’s that obvious imo
maybe it is tho
10 of Infinity Trades, Master of none
but yeah, thinking about what's given this script longevity, it's more or less that I've managed to hit a balance of "serious puzzle-solving" and "play with your friends :)"
and whatever minion #5 is out of "minions that exist" has to be pretty careful to not disrupt that balance
stuff like "swoblin existing" and "DA autowin" throw the balance off
this is like my legion script
1 will fit
yes
this is
a lot
and i think wizard hits that balance reasonably well
I like wizard but I think it's too much here
Also
Although it's underrated
I dont think boffin dreamer is strictly a worse widow
Or a worse spy
It gives the bluff that matters to the Demon
I didn't end up running this bc I only got 6 players, but later another st did - they were a new enough st that they probably should have still been running base three tbh, so the game was kinda scuffed (blatant public amne ability that ended up costing good an execution, three outsiders in an 8 player game except the puzzlemaster drunked the damsel?) but somehow the scuffed parts balanced out so it ended up being a close game.
But significantly, the kazali actually made a godfather. It didn't get a kill because pd died n2 and the other two outsiders were in final three, but the script presence did a good job making us wary of executing outsider claims (especially with a dead plague doctor that could have given the ability), so idk I kinda feel like it works well here
be me
kazali on CC with boffin general
make a kill
good is strongly winning
mfw
(hilariously, the godfather didn't realize that they should have learned the damsel two times instead of just from their ability, so proceeded to correctly damsel guess when the demon was on the block only for nothing to happen)
three outsiders in an 8 player game except the puzzlemaster drunked the damselincredible
guessing good won based on "when the demon was on the block"
god imagine being the godfather who learns about a damsel once
Yee
I get godfather it's just bizarrely... the risk of it speaks more than its actual effect
Yep
It was a final three where anyone could have theoretically been the demon, but socials (barely) won it for us
tbf with that you normally just piece them together
alternatively boffin damsel
🔥
oh my god that's how you solve the kazali evil sided/good sided set up
you just boffin the recluse to add the puzzlemaster
exactly
you see the vision
kazali picks pm as boffin? guess what ability they get
and then there's always the floating drunk
you'll never run out of outsiders
and if pd dies early just use the minion abilities to boffin pm drunk another outsider
oh yeah also PD boffin exists
if the kaz doesn’t pick widow or boffin then it has utility that widow doesn’t in terms of grimpeeking
huzzah
Ran 3 games today
I do not like kazali as a character and this only solidified that but the script itself goes hard
wow ok
I thought you would see the vision by now
The minions were the same 2 people every time 😭
That's a skill issue
Game 1: alsaahir snipe
(Philo = alsaahir, rk = banshee, sh = pd, you'll never guess what kazali is)
The BC got witch cursed immediately 😭
The pixie saw TC but broke madness
why isn't slayer alsaahir
The MC was gonna be puzzledrunk but then the PM became the witch
I just played a game today with me being Lleech
the Lycanthrope killed my host
because the ST didn't make them the faux paw
Also "is the philo" can be used for banshee proc which is marginally better than "no ability"
BeCaUsE tHeY cAnT MoDiFy It AfTeR sEtUp
anyway what about the other 2 games
I'll take it
Not too much else notable happened that game, it was over pretty quickly
Hey hey guess which minion the demon chose
Game 2: damsel win
yo GODFATHER???
the godfather genuinely works here you have to keep it it goes so fucking hard
The damsel was on the block so if she didn't guess she would've gotten a kill
that goes HARD
anyway did any of the games go past d2
I believe the reminder tokens tell the full story, here's the savant info
You should take a guess as to who & what the evil team was for game 3
Or I guess their positions
The exact same evil team 😭
swerenovus?
And I think this game proves why gf goes hard
Nah just pd cere
tell me everything 👀
classic kazali moment
She chooses the demon
So the demon kills a good player and the godfather kills the demon
Now the SW is the new demon and gf's presence is unclear
Then
A seam no on the pd and demon (who's "moonchild confirmed") gets the pd executed
And the gf kills to f3
(the poli died at night earlier)
As some politicians do
Also, the TC is now ceremad as the damsel on the final day (this is also the night they died)
That goes hard
The demon is nommed early and gets 3 votes
Then the evil team is able to build a good handful of worlds where literally anyone else is the demon, and they send it on the amne instead
Wait 3 votes
Evil could've rose up but they didn't
Doesn’t evil just tie or did evil vote
Ah
I mean technically they did but at least one good player voted with them. I think 3?
Speaking of amne, the amne ability in game 2 was "each night, choose a player: the damsel, if chosen, learns this & has no ability"
I was worried about the damsel on a social level then the amne died n2 and there wasn't much I could do
This is the second game of this script where a "preacher for outsiders" amne died n2
wait the day 2 first statement isn't vacously true?
I clarified that the statement implied that poli was in play
[hystrex voice] so when are you replacing the kazali with another demon
what's the current cc?
SOLO TYPHON LMAO LOL LOOOOL
In game 3 the amne ability was "each day, if you publicly guess which minions are in play, learn the demon tonight"
Actually wait
and it's perfect
Keep godfather 🙏
Hold on lemme cook some bullshit
maybe math is extraneous but otherwise it's perfect
mmmmm
Oh yeah math is literally just librarian seeing PM
You gotta keep Godfather it's so good
math is extraneous until the puzzledrunk gets judge-slammed d1
skill issue
I don't like math here
sometimes the tb poisoner gets executed d1 and you don't have a math there
the wicked widow:
you do it's called undertaker
godfather is still problematic in its doublekills outside of this exact scenario
isn't game 2 moonchild the only possible "gf as misinfo" on this script?
that’s why i don’t like it
like it's the one intended (tm) interaction
and idt game 1 outcome change whether its gf or not so im not mentioning it
Kazali note (not a script note beyond the fact that it's a kazali script): the same player was the SW in all 3 games. He pulled dreamer/oracle/dreamer and was excited to play those and then pulled SW after specifically asking for not SW
feelsbad
yeah i never play more than one kazali script per session for that exact reason
not for bra1n's apparently
No?? It can be loud sometimes and that's okay
Oh valid
ehhhhhhh
also I think cc is finally balanced and it's so based
it's a tradeoff between confirming goodies and speeding the game up and I think it rocks
i mean loud sometimes here is "every time but this interaction"
unless it’s late game i do think it’s more detrimental to out both GF existence and confirm a player
I should've added damsel like 4 versions ago lol
unless they’re like super hard mega confirmed outsider but then why are you executing them
again, disagree
gf should not be forced to choose to sink to not hard mechanically confirm multiple worlds
another reason GF does not belong on 90% of customs
have you played hide and seek
i mean it's an interesting dynammic
tbf I'm still searching for the opportunity I'd want to ever use it
but like
it is a BMR character
Normally I agree but it doesn't limit worlds nearly as much here because it's not load bearing
When the pd is executed perhaps
in reference to kazali's arbitrary outsider count?
well yeah but at what time
is this allowed
Yeah mostly
too early and it's unhelpfully loud, too late and it's an autowin that's unfair to do with pd
Doesn't that not even make a difference
I don't even think that's unfair tbh
It's not
gf is backwards-looking, it's the classic catfishing interaction of pithagging in a godfather after the mutant pops
one might argue the gf ability didn’t come into play until after the PD died and thus the GF didn’t see the death
BMRhead in name
does not understand bmr character
(catfishing being gf's second homescript)
but if it looks back then nvm
gf doesn't have to see the kill
i forget things
the dementia consumes
im being a hardass ur good
me when i lie
me when I tell the truth
big if true (medium)
it really is
anyway still slightly unimpressed the one good gf game is the intended (read: moonchild is an outsider?) interaction game
but eh
no the damsel game was aided by gf too
it knew the damsel wasn't puzzledrunk
there was also the time they got a kill immediately and mechconfirmed the good player bluffing a widow ping for some reason as "outed evil"
i
(he didn't hear anyone else claiming a ping and meta'd that there was a self-poisoning widow)
i feel like the burden of proof isn't on my side here 😭
what interesting individuals
well this was before the script had damsel so it was still me trying to desperately prevent it from being 95% widow games
damsel is a broken outsider anyway people will one day understand
seriously I should've added it 4 versions ago it works so insanely well this is the script the jinx was made for
just hope
yeah it's legitimately mostly not widow now
instead they overrepresent scarlet lol
but that's fine
scarlet is by far the strongest minion here
it allows for so much shenanigans
also side tangent
politicians need to play for evil more on this script
maybe it’s just a fluke
but whenever i run this the poli either hard outs and plays for good as a blank token
or at least doesn’t do anything fun
like i want to see a poli fake a widow ping or ceremadness
mizu knows all about politicians playing for evil on cc :^)
ime you get the whole spectrum
what
i don't remember anything
i was just the savant getting confirmed by my pixie
oh yeah fake pixie pairs that too
actually widow being an evil gambler here is so funny
i genuinely forget pixie is on this script
it’s really good here tho
i just never see it do anything
you either gamble to get an extra evil (poli), or get an extra blank token (damsel)
the solution btw is to put poli damsel on a bag together
basically yeah
it's really funny
it causes evil to win due to being a bluff in a damsel game
it is funny, but it does increase game variance
but like, not my problem haha
, which is based
iirc vati said that moonchild is supposed to be a quasi-tf
like it should be racked as a TF
It’s a demonsbane
even with godfather there’s not nearly enough death mod to justify it being an outsider
sorta but it can also be executed
As I said, a demonsbane
As in, the bane of their existence
demonsbane usually refers to one of the roles that the demon doesn’t want to kill
banshee sage RK farmer soldier
See the increasing altitude of the humorous statement is hovering over your cranium
I’m copying that
anyway vati so you're not removing gf right
Also yeah the one poli that the kaz didn't pick lost with good
The vision was seen
It wasn't a borderline call or anything either
It's complicated
It should be racked like golem
You can do +1 with a moonchild and you can also do +2 with a moonchild. Probably keep +2 with non-moonchildren to a minimum in 1/2 minion games (but the bluffspace is a thing)
If it's a townsfolk it's not a very good one but it's not really an outsider either
It's something that only exists in solo Kazali
it's like kinda reverse virgin
Notably typhon has a different set of weird considerations and sentinel opens up townsiders but doesn't truly remove the border
I mean sure but Typhon definitely removes the tf outsider line even if it has the whole rest of solo Typhon to deal with
And yeah sentinel opens up 1 townsider in each direction
Typhon adds an extra minion which means it nullifies the reason outsiders exist
I mean... not really?
You can kinda splash outsiders on kazali scripts in a way you can't on typhon scripts
There's still a difference between 7p and 9p
The power level of town should be different depending on base outsider count
Ofc setup swing exists but that's a different story
Probably not (we'll be back here in 6 months after no one picks it for the whole time)
I will note this script had moonchild before it had godfather
nah that's the best part of Kazali :3
-# 5 out of 6 of my CC games have been minion I am very biased :3
Unironically I think your perception of this script is pretty skewed by how disproportionately your experience of it is from a minion seat
But basically everyone in this thread myself included is someone who specializes in coming up with outre takes so I downweigh that
I've talked to dire about this, likely true
the only CC good game I've played I have a dream-like memory about because it was like 3 days long
maybe 2 😭
Just because Hystrex found the two people on the planet that (probably accidentally) picked GF twice and did not end up with non-games due to there being +2 Outsiders and neither getting turned into a minion? SMH
No no it was the same person
He pulled the demon token twice
The gf was also the same person
(and the SW)
hey I know at least 4 people have done it
nobody's gonna pick boffin either
"oh yes I would like boffin-general to see if my team is losing" "hmm I would like boffin-banshee and then go outed evil once the boffin dies" statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged
My opinion of Boffin on this script stays being “Boffin on CC is a cardboard box trap for Kenoboi in specific”
(small)
(big)
im a big cc steward fan
not the widow stock rising again 😭
i get why it was taken off but i want it on 👉 👈
what about fish?
fish getting advice early and get widow poisoned
fish getting advice late and get ceremad as poli
hehe
hmm lemme browse some townsfolk
one day wizard will get into cc huff copium
I like Fish
but honestly
I see Vati’s vision in Math
it’s not an SSB type Math but it’s still good
patters huntsman
one might even say it’s a different kind of mathmatics
I fucking love huntsman as a townsfolk but i like this script only having 2 jinxes
and solo Damsel goes pretty hard here
like i think huntsman kinda cooked here (the buffed version)
noble? we talked about noble right
it bypass kazali just getting lucky pick and making a slightly unfun set up
and it forced minion to fear into having to damsel guess early
and also it provide the newly turned damsel with a not in-play bluff
i don't think vati likes patters huntsman anyway
l
Widow poisoning presumably
i think ut clear too much world
it's really strong but it provides direction on d1
maybe it's too synergistic with dreamer?
but cannibal/dreamer is a thing on a lot of customs and that turns out ok
Cannibal instead?
dreamer is fine here at least because it's a bit bluffable
worry about canni-ysks and canni-seamstress
worst case no widow just confirm your evil, with ut it's 😔
hmmm
is oracle too much overlap with general?
it probably is
right but they do have some overlap
a little, but they justify themselves enough
if you’re continuously exing the wrong people, you probably want to change your world
idk i'm dealing out grims and i fw noble here
ut probably stinks here but it's an idea for driving d1 executions
(most of my noble pings had the demon in them)
also recluse/noble is just
perfect interaction
How though?
first 4 execution gonna be the noble pings + noble
actually when i think about it isn't it objectively better to keep your noble ping alive
the recluse can screw with the noble pings! it's like this hit script trouble brewing with an investigator and a recluse
have you heard of trouble brewing
no
that'd do it
hey nerdguy agrees with me
my problem with noble recluse is that noble is not that strong in the first place, and it getting recluse more often due to having a whopping 3 targets is just a feels bad
this is further amplified by kazali just uh, not having a proper outsider count
wait no that's not the point i'm trying to make
TB isn't an example
I find Noble is a very good character, but it works better with Vortox IMO
3 worlds or 5 worlds is an interesting distinction
If you promise to never show the poli then it sucks less than normal in this misinfoscape....... but also it's a widow script why would you not put a washerwoman or smth instead
washerwoman on a widow script? ww belongs with my bestie spy
WW is not bad here since a puzzledrunk WW can see a minion with a pre Kazali’d bluff
nuh uh
why 😭
^^^^^
No it's not it's full of beans (derogatory)
you guys don’t see the boffin amne vision
I see the vision and think it's so incredibly far off from what the script is trying to do
Boffin amne goes on waltz not CC
just put wizard in 😭
y’all don’t see the wizard vision
TRUE (false)
v3 (steward, shugenja, fisherman) was horrifically evilsided
like "2 different games where the demon outed to a good player who outed them publicly, then won"
v4/v5 (steward, shugenja, mathematician) was more balanced in the sense that good won games with sober shugenjas and lost games with droisoned ones
literally how did any of this occur 😭😭
one was a poli playing for good (demon got the grim from the widow and outed before checking) and the other was a pd bluffing poli
both games had scarlets but in the second the demon wasn't executed, they just tied the vote in f3
I can't wait for
I'm trying to work out the funniest new CC demon
true
return to roots
actually I know what to do
Clockwork Cyborg 5.3 (real)
Per Hystrex's demand I have replaced the demon with the nerfed Kazali (Vigormortis)
Scarlet Woman was replaced with Boffin because scarlet is a bad vigorkill and also I took off Oracle because there's literally no wincon ever for a vigor team with an oracle in play, it's completely mechanically impossible and you're the worst scriptwriter ever if you put them together, that's why oracle was removed from snv in playtesting. I replaced it with Atheist
-# april fools
Godfather is bootlegged to allow +2 outsiders sometimes
active baron
what have I started
Not balanced enough, needs Heretic
True
Kazali picks Widow/GF, forces game to rerack cause 2 hatejinxes with Heretic
Oh wait nvm, it's Vigor, I didn't even realize.
Storyteller picks Widow/GF, forces game to rerack cause 2 hatejinxes with Heretic
Vati, godfather isn’t that good here
It feels weak for Kazali
Beguiler would be much better
Or maybe Demagogue
But that might fall short
I was getting "oh my god I have talked enough about this forever in the last week" before realising it was bait
is this how non clocktower players feel when i open my mouth
How many people can I get with insulting a minion choice and suggesting beguiler or demagogue?
Demagogue sucks here are you kidding
Oh yeah it works poorly with Kazali, my bad
What are beguiler and demagogue?
that doesn't really explain what they are
||the point is no one knows what they are||
||they were just made up by the AI||
Nah the AI has no idea what it's talking about
We need to piece together what the abilities are based on the jokes people have made
We know that demagogue sucks with death mod
And Beguiler does something similar to assassin
There's a couple other details I think
i have personally just been assuming demagogue is wizard
beguiler here is just better FM
So yes, Demagogue is slightly loud, weaker than assassin, and isn't silent (Sources, me and axo)
Demagogue also doesn’t work with death mod (sources, me and Hystrex)
but also a good fit on China Shop
-# if we want to do this joke can we do it somewhere else btw
ye
It has to for it to work on CS
could we discuss this in either homebrew characters
or somewhere that isn't the CC thread
vati has asked
secret thing it is
you mean #speculation-and-spoilers?
is that a joke bra1n?
Demagogue and Beguiler are two Minion names that ChatGPT generated.
Now, those definitely could be names that the real game have, and I can definitely see the confusion
But we aren't discussing anything speculative. It's a joke.
there's an ongoing thing that #speculation-and-spoilers is being used for a lot of homebrew discussion, so yes, it was a joke 😉
that's fair. difficult to tell!
when a TPI developer goes to you and asks to discuss stuff in a specific place
It's best to just explain yourself
anyway
Cool script vati!
hate fills your heart
you have no mirth
nah she loves fun and whimsy unlike you
didnt you say vizier
I never said I love fun and whimsy
true
Axo hates fun & whimsy more than anyone else (but she still has good takes)
Why do you hate me
Because you hate fun and whimsy?
but I don't?

i hope you know that saying 7 has made you contractually obliged to play livetext
I’ve already played livetext

what about second livetext?
phew i'm glad i didn't absentmindedly join in on this trend
bra1n livetext real
we can do it when patters plays livetext too
Nope
nerdguy's second livetext will be GoS in october 😉
I dropped out of that
you're still on the thing
send me the link hold on
You have to write a 10 000 word essay to drop out of Garden of Sin livetext smh
Livetext evil win (we executed the general)
Demon bluffed widow ping but got moonchild picked and checked by FT n1 (we thought it was RH because of general saying evil was winning), they self killed after MC picked and passed to scarlet woman who bluffed ceremadness framing their dead demon as cere. It was a crazy play lol
Someday good will win
Good wins pretty often now
Also moonchild pick someone other than the demon challenge
Also, vati, i just saw this, but i really don't hate slayer here. not sure what to swap out
or is that too enforcing of choosing safety nets?
Vati lacks the whimsy required to appreciate slayer in non SW bags
But it’s such a fun info role (like klutz)
I thought axo was the one lacking whimsy
Do we have multiple boring Berthas in our midst?
Axo just hates fun now
She's fine in terms of whimsy
But yeah there's a bunch of regulars here who hate whimsy
do I hate fun and/or whimsy?
Yeah both, moreso fun tho
what's my fun/whimsy rating
You hate both
CS isn't whimsical 😔
it is fun though
This is true
The Fun/Whimsy Rating™️ from @fast maple is very important. I learned that the hardway when i said Matron was no longer a suggested traveller 😔
Yaggababble is highly whimsical
I lobe clocwork cybor
look i have absolutely no idea what whimsy is but it cannot be yaggababble
i think CC is my favorite full script tbh
It does look like a very "base" script
as a concept, yeah, and maybe when playing it, but in terms of scriptbuilding not really
Ok maybe that's a lie, it does have 6 outsiders on it
I think the script's concept has changed a bit though
This script is so cool I wish kazali was fun 🤩
Like, when it was made, it was like 'Oh Kazali is so weak you need to put more outsiders in than usual to give it a chance, it's just a base demon'
And then... vati slowly realised 'wait no it isn't'
i dont see a world where kazali is weak :3
pff
but you can at least stare at that dreamer token for a minute before it gets taken away from you
all those games you were going to solve
gone
reduced to ashes
You're a Godfather now
Deal with it
You see how this makes it worse right
Nah I'm just kidding
this is fake no one ever picks godfather
No one ever goes Godfather on this script
But they do tho (rarely)
yeah
But at least you have someone to blame for it
You see how this makes it worse right
I think I enjoy being evil, so not really
Unless it's about your expectations being shattered
i only play botc to take credit for winning and blame my teammates for losing, and kazali makes that easier
dam
I mean letting evil be determined by random chance is a much better way for a group to stop being cliquey
yeah it fixes the social meta problem most people have with kazali
And I guess the pressure of 'Hey I was chosen, I can't screw up' is larger
incidentally, summoner is my favorite character and though its similar in theory, in practice its very different and doesnt have the problems that kazali does
oh i just go "they chose me, its their fault if this doesnt work out"
whys that
because you dont go "oh i pick this person" you go "oh i pick the confirmed golem or the person with good info and socials" etc
if you're asking why its my favorite character, spawning a vortox or no dashii mid game is really funny+its cool+you get to do whatever after summoning
I think kazali would be better if it started with no teammates and instead of killing picked them slowly over the game!
i think kazali would be funnier if you could get barista doubled N1 and pick two sets of teammates
i think having it be "you pick what minions are in play" is fairly interesting too, and maybe also fixes the swingy nature of kaz games
tho less fun for me :3
Idk I think it’s fine without that
Just turn folks evil
It doesn’t need to kill either
that sounds like fake-summoner
No it’s not and I came up with it all on my one it’s definitely not basically the same as an unreleased character
yeah i can see why its unreleased
No it’s AMAZING and definitely not like an awful character that would drag the game on for a really long time and ruin everyone’s fun
okay but that loses the risk of playing Kazali Game, making you my minion, everyone knowing this and still winning :3
everytime you advertise this your winrate drops slightly :3
(still picking you next time tho)
historically hasn’t :3
What's all this Kazali slander doing in my Kazali-appreciation-channel?
Can you confirm that the Kazali only script you mentioned on the QnA was CC or a different one? 👀
#speculation-and-spoilers message
And now immortalised within the CC thread 🙂↕️
you say it like that's a bad thing
Kazali (demon): Each night*: choose a player, they die. Your friends and experienced players are your minions, who learn one bluff each [+1 outsider].
(/lh)
I love the script, I just don't love Kazali :p
Kazali (demon): Each night*: choose a player, they die. Any outed evil minions will be meta'd backwards towards identifying you as the Kazali [+2 Townsiders]
Kazali (Demon): Each night*, choose a player: they die. If you're a real dickhead, you'll make that same player the Scarlet Woman for the 4th time in a row. [+the Moonchild, who picks you]
I think in the games I've played with this script, I've seen godfather picked more than witch
Slayer over alsaahir would be a good sub imo
but Alsaahir is great on solo Kazali scripts
alsaahir is there to solve the problem of 'picking into meta players'
This can also be solved by... not playing kazali scripts
alsaahir does shine here though bc of that
Also super funny with Damsel
recluse is a townsfolk (when there are two mathematicians)
pd scarlet?
yeah PD scarlet
Was debating GF since it would lose an execution but would also hardconfirm the ceremad (at the time) PD
which confirms the existence of a cere and I wanted to keep the option to frame the amne who was mad d1 open
(demon was bluffing seamstress yes between oracle and amne and this group doesn't selfmadden as evil)
PD died n2 btw after the Poli got exed d1
so PD godfather was very very tempting
anyway see math is good on here :^)
wait what would a math even do on this grim
aside from oracle recluse
which is enough really
and amne recluse
i had a plan
and it worked
(the plan was townsfolk recluse hold your horses)
Not convinced 😭
issue of skill
:sotrue:
Wait I did a rotate and uhhh if the plague doctor was just executed and town knows it's cerenovus and the pd is mad as a tf and the pd causes a gf kill takes breath doesn't that mean the pd is just fully stuck in madness hell
Actually this prob works better in 2 minion
Some other outsider is exed then made made as Townsfolk and town knows it's cere gf
This is an edge case so maybe not a problem
Huh that would come up...
If anyone ever chose GF
In all seriousness yea that would be unfortunate
Just gain a different ability
Or just be a nice ST
it's like the virgin being mad or being a ceremad traveler, there's only so much you can do
because nobody is picking cere gf at 2 minion
it's happened!
me when i lie
me when I tell the truth
Pinocchio’s nose is wildly fluctuating, you two gotta make up your minds
shock and awe
That game was probably Fiddled 5 minutes in because the GF player rage quit when they learned their role
dire watched me draw the kazali token in 15p longtext cc and didn't immediately rerack
did you win
clean sweep
LOL
ZAMN
it was great
town executed sober townsfolk till there weren't any left
oh yeah is 5p alive with 4 evil and a scarlet unwinnable for good
(also the recluse sent a demon whisper, and the pixie was ceremad as the role they saw)
mhm
I wrote 4 days of fake savant info and a 1,745 word analysis of it that required three nitro-length messages
also the scarlet was in a seam no immediately
who was the ST
dire
me
kazali picked savant/oracle/moonchild
three strong townsfolk :3
don’t know you enough to meta your savant info 😔
it was incredibly vatisavant I was shocked no one called that out
yeah was about to say
or called out 4 livetexters being alive all game
i make my savant info immediately after being consulted, so uh, yeah
you picked the people who would've called you out on it
played a game TODAY STed by @graceful seal where the demon bluffing philo-savant was executed because their info sounded nothing like the info the real savant (me) was getting
the real info was much cooler ngl
probably the best savant info i’ve ever got
it's in #sects-and-violets
mhm
what the hell lmao
what was the info
d1:
- The Librarian saw an Outsider with an on-death ability (Plague Doctor, Moonchild)
- All of Dreamer, Fortune Teller, and Alsaahir are in play
d2: - An evil player is sitting between two players with outsider-related abilities (outsiders, Librarian, Godfather)
- At least one droisoned player wakes to their own ability each night
d3: - Flagstuff is a minion
- Flagstuff is the sober Town Crier
d4: - There is a Widow in play
- There is a Dreamer in play
t/t, f/f, f/f, t/t
d1 could also be f/t depending how you define "saw an outsider" but yeah
how do you write a 1750 word analysis of this 😭
it was designed to carve the game up into like 15 distinct worlds and I wrote out all of them
enough sauce to hide the fish :3
but yeah he covered a bunch of worlds that were not the real ones
i trust that
i think the time to analyze that longtext brings suits you a lot
that’s what fish deserves, awful genre of food
good fish is good and bad fish is cheap
can't wait for the vati sterling quilava game (none of the other players will post)
but bread no diffs either way i think
good fish is an oxymoron
swedish fish
WHAT
its so yum and sweet and cheap and carryable
Not liking swedish fish without having some dietary restriction for them is a crime we should execute you
i always knew biscuits was evil
execute biscuits somewhere else I'm trying to decompress from the most insane demon game of my life
No it's not madness there's no barista
love how this changed from fire to sob in 2 seconds
(the barista is ceremad)
Forgot which channel this was lol mb
mm the subtle pushes on the amne and dreamer were well done
why does this botc server not have a channel dedicated to swedish fish :(
They should get on that
#speculation-and-spoilers
yeah that works
I think my suspicion that I can only play longtext like once every two months for mental stability purposes is correct, however it is still based
oof feel that
