What does this mean

#

Niceee congrats on the win

calm furnace

BSN is like SnV

I mean thinking about worlds after the idea for this script gave me a headache. So of course i had to inflict it on the world through GoD

Gave +1 Thanks to @final anchor (current: #374 - 119)

neon schooner
#

Uhhh, no not really

#

Much closer to BMR

calm furnace
#

okay I'll elaborate a little

#

SnV and BSN are both quite unbalanced

#

I play both with this fact in mind

idle marten
#

You are so right. I should add a clockmaker

neon schooner
#

New BSN has a pretty balanced winrate

calm furnace
#

did I tell you my irl groups two games of BSN yesterday

neon schooner
#

Noooo ok that's fine

calm furnace
#

I might be able to recreate the game 2 from memory

idle marten
#

Also, Clarke, in your infinite wisdom, what did you think of the bag pulled in the official stream from the contest? If you could have changed anything, what would it have been?

@obsidian hull people are talking about you

that chef number must been wild

calm furnace
# calm furnace I was IK

The Fortune Teller outed evil, all good had was a philo-empath one on a dead player and a chef 3

neon schooner
#

Oh no you did mention this

#

Wdym outed evil

idle marten
#

outed to i assume they meant

#

so was killed immediately

#

or was just trolling, you know how it is

neon schooner

(also this is why you ojo snipe the chef)

Oh nice

ah right

idle marten
#

i thought you were referring to trying to confuse a possible empath on the line

idle marten
calm furnace
#

but also was IK drunked by me and nobody believed him when he said they were good and actually the FT

idle marten
#

In my official Capacity as Hystrex, I would like to announce that Goblin and Boffin and Saint are now all official BSN characters!

#

Plan your games accordingly!

neon schooner
#

Goblin on old BSN is wild, the infoscape is so alignment based

#

It's not so bad on new BSN tho

#

Still oppressive

idle marten
#

but you just said the infoscape is based

#

so it should be able to handle it

deep ermine
#

Evil twin was an earlier draft and has also been taken out. I'm am doing the best that I can to make changes that Requiem and only Requiem would approve of 🫡

calm furnace
#

I’m sorgy >_<

deep ermine
#

When I made this script originally I had no hopes that I would get even close to making top 16. The script that debuted was a product of that. I literally just filled it with the characters I thought would be funny with the Djinn.

#

I promise I am doing the best I can to fix the broken interactions. I hope I can make you proud 😂

gleaming hollow
#

april fools?

#

the script before the changes feels like a cross between extension cord and catfishing

deep ermine
#

No, April Fools was the other script that was linked

#

which is equally as bad 😂

#

Jokes aside. I'm manifesting BSN and BoS7 top 2 of group D

I've played in a seat 7 magician game

#

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS PRONOUNCED supernoVEE

neon schooner
#

i was surprised too

digital island
#

i dont care, im still pronouncing it the same 😉

neon schooner
#

wait this says both are correct 😭

digital island
#

YAY

neon schooner
#

i listened to like 5 different sources

#

all have vee but some have others as well

young loom
calm furnace
#

nah

#

I don’t care

young loom
#

alternatively you COULD name it after me

calm furnace
#

it’s supernovae

young loom
#

if luis doesn't want to be credited for demons not learning each other i am happy to steal the credit

neon schooner
#

was it originally luis or sophia

young loom
#

oooh good question

#

this implies it was luis who ran it

neon schooner
#

i forgot about the half sentinel

#

luis im sorry what was up with that 😭 copypasta moment

final anchor
#

I pronounce it like “super nove eye” am I weird

ruby lodge
#

is it not supernova-ehh

neon schooner
#

I was talking with @mint garden and I think it's decided. I'm going to be swapping assassin for Beguiler, it just fits so well

mint garden
#

As evil seemed a bit too weak Beguiler feels like a massive upgrade, we considered demagogue but it felt redundant with the script concept

#

Imagine sending in your script changes and just saying
Assassin->Beguiler

#

And wait for the reaction

neon schooner
#

No demagogue is just dumb here 😭

mint garden
#

Yeah

neon schooner
#

Idk why you brought it up

mint garden
#

It doesn’t work with the amount of death modification at all

digital island
#

i think jester would be a much better fit

neon schooner
#

Jester isn't in botc

mint garden
#

Yeah

#

Obviously

digital island
mint garden
#

Beguiler is much better

mint garden
#

Live footage of Hystrex crashing out after me suggesting Demagogue on a death mod script

I've been thinking about TC a lot

#

Maybe it's fine

#

It adds a gimmick to the noms but you know what good needs more noms than normal so it does the witch thing in the other direction

calm furnace
young loom
#

demon nominates with a minion, lives to f3 because they're "minion at worst" <3

young loom
#

imp summoner fool

#

(it is day 3)

neon schooner
#

TC is useful info regardless

#

It limits worlds and that's a lot of what it needs to do

idle marten
#

i don't see TC here?

neon schooner
#

Yeah because Gary Cooper doesn't have a TC

haughty tangle
#

Gary Cooper is the exemplar of a Blood On The Clocktower Custom Script, the benchmark by which all scripts should be judged

Barber is fundamentally different

These are both SnV outsiders btw

#

Oracle's main purpose here is to counter mastermind, if a recluse claim is dead then it's completely incapable of doing that

gleaming hollow
#

but i mean yeah it is kinda just sweetheart+recluse on an oracle script

#

||hermit ||at home 😍

calm furnace
#

I really don’t like the idea of losing agency to not fuck over other tf

#

chambermaid seems better and isn’t an actively bad experience for the recluse

ruby lodge
#

how do you counter mm now

young loom
#

you dont :)

neon schooner
#

And you can just turn it off

neon schooner
calm furnace
#

then why is Oracle a problem on the script?

neon schooner
#

Oh because it feels horrible to pull the token

twilit sonnet
#

Wat

#

Hystrex people don’t like go “oracle feelsbad noooo”

#

people just go “aight” and then just play like a general

calm furnace
#

hey

#

thoughts on VI?

young loom
#

booooo

calm furnace
#

also like my problem with BSN rn is “first two days CM, Empath, FT die and evil instantly wins

young loom
#

aprils fool

calm furnace
neon schooner
#

Timezones

neon schooner
#

Close game!! Good had several opportunities to win and just barely missed all of them

#

We had a starpasstermind night

#

The pukka had zero mechanical effect the whole game 😭 that being said town would've had enough time to win if that wasn't the case

#

The mm was on the block d1 then they lifted onto the empath, then executed the TC, the pukka, then got 3 votes on the new imp after 2 good players dropped because they were nervous

fringe crescent
neon schooner
#

The recluse nommed both days he was alive lol

neon schooner
#

It felt good!! This didn't quite happen but I realized there are cases where TC detects mastermind panic. Not nearly enough to rely on, but it's something

neon schooner
#

Chambermaid or Town Crier

#

Playtesting between those has been limited and I don't expect to get another in before submitting changes

#

Chambermaid:

  • works
  • not gimmicky
  • basically just FT
    Town Crier:
  • probably works
  • gimmicky
  • less volatile
  • better waking pattern for math purposes
gleaming hollow
#

i think there’s enough waking modification on this script that CM works

#

although yes it’s very FT-like

idle marten
#

Neither Demon dead voted yet

#

bc executed the previous day + starpassing that night

neon schooner
ruby lodge
#

?

idle marten
neon schooner
idle marten
neon schooner
#

Ohhhh

ruby lodge
#

but i thought tying on mm day is good win

idle marten
#

and then demon killed that night

neon schooner
#

No longer confused

#

Yeah there was no more mastermind ability

#

Because they were starpassed to

ruby lodge
#

oh

#

wait oh

neon schooner
#

And there was no other reason for the game to end, so it didn't

ruby lodge
#

there is i think

#

cuz you rule it so when mm day is tied the good wincon gets proc

neon schooner
#

The djinnlegger is an instant check not a constant check

ruby lodge
#

so if mm leaves it should also proc

neon schooner
#

You can rule it either way

#

But this is the most logical ruling to me

neon schooner
#

I actually happened to outline that specific scenario before the game started so it's not like I was gonna run it another way

ruby lodge
#

so if i kill the mm after another demon is executed it also works

neon schooner
#

If you kill the mm good wins because of the mm ability

ruby lodge
#

i mean demon killing the mm

idle marten
#

yeah or poisoning them

neon schooner
#

Oh, yeah

neon schooner
#

Oh hey math and CM synergize on info scripts bc the math has a bit of a better idea on where to look for where it's getting its numbers from

#

Nothing huge but it's there

neon schooner
#

Honestly? I could see myself swapping gambler for whichever of CM/TC I don't add this time around

#

Gambler doesn't really like summoner

#

And the only hard misinfo for it is recluse innk and philo 😭

#

Well. Depends how you count things actually

#

Either way that's a thing I'm looking at now

#

Why does summoner go after gambler 😭

neon schooner
#

Man why can't oracle just be "each night* learn how many evil players died since dawn"

#

(I know why, it's because it's on SnV)

young loom
#

regamble your previous targets :)

idle marten
#

then you can start hunting people down

neon schooner
#

I guess that soft confirms them as a demon

idle marten
#

Or a recluse

young loom
#

so a demon

neon schooner
idle marten
#

just most of them

neon schooner
#

Barring the text game (which, idk and if I do I'm not sharing), I don't think anyone's bluffed recluse on this script yet lol

#

But that's because I keep putting it in the bag

neon schooner
#

Submitted with chambermaid

This one

prime dagger
#

Cool

calm furnace
#

I think that good needs 4 ongoing info roles at least

neon schooner
#

Good thing that's what I gave them

#

There's also gambler if you feel like counting it

prime dagger
#

I'll share my other thoughts once the longtext is over, but it is a fun script to play.

calm furnace
#

I'm not counting Math or Gambler

neon schooner
#

Wait why not math 😭

#

Gambler I understand

calm furnace
neon schooner
#

Yeah because it confirms half the town instead

calm furnace
#

Mathematican can't do anything when the Chambermaid, Fortune Teller and Empath die in the first two nights

neon schooner
#

Yes it can what 😭

calm furnace
#

I don't agree :3

neon schooner
#

:# indeed

#

Math procs on protection too

young loom
calm furnace
young loom
#

Math absolutely slaps with protective roles

#

because you just confirm all of them

#

you get a 4 and you instaconfirm the fool IK and soldier

#

(and the recluse who got golem punched and lived earlier that day)

regal crystal
#

Ran a game of the script today.
I used the "Stable" version from Beardys web page.

I had 13 players:

  • Demon: Imp
  • Minions: Assassin, Summoner, Mastermind
  • Townsfolk: Chef, Mathematician, Fortune Teller, Oracle, Innkeeper, Exorcist, Seamstress, Philosopher, Fool

Bluffs I gave were:

  • Soldier, Empath, Moonchild to the Imp
  • Soldier, Gambler, Butler to the Summoner

Notable Things that happened:

  • Philo chose to become Magician
  • Night two the Fool was Innkeeper protected, summoned as a Pukka and Assassinated (cause of the only math 1 the entire game)
  • final night the Imp bluffing Empath passed to the remaining living minion - the Mastermind sitting next to them.

Final 3 were Mastermind Imp, Mathematician and Philo Magician. The Mathematician got majority of the votes.
Evil won.

I'd say goods downfall was mostly overspending dead votes on executing the assassin on "final 7", but that last star pass certainly swayed some people to trust the new Imp.
The Philo Magician had the exact world but not enough votes left to push for it.

ruby lodge
#

The summoned demon got killed immediately yet won

neon schooner
#

Woahh nice :D

#

Sounds like a fun game

#

Innk protected pukka fool getting assassin stabbed immediately is so funny to me

final anchor
#

Average pukka

#

They’d have gotten the same amount of kills alive anyway

regal crystal
#

Oracle got a 1 on that night and thought the entire time the executed Seamstress was the reason, because "the Summoner and the Assassin would just talk to each other and never do this".
But hey, it essentially meant the evil team had a dead guy who could collect all the info because people trusted him.

fringe crescent
#

Pukka confirmed more useful to evil dead than alive

neon schooner
young loom
neon schooner
#

It's on the website

#

Though actually

#

Out: Xaan, Sweetheart, Shugenja, Grandmother, Oracle
In: Godfather, Recluse, Golem, Mathematician, Fool, Chambermaid

Xaan -> Godfather: on a script that moves roughly twice as fast, xaan is roughly twice as powerful. It was too powerful in practice, it had to go. Godfather meshes nicely with the outsider suite, especially after the changes.
Sweetheart -> Recluse: recluse provides some much needed night 1 misinfo, and you can't summon a permanently drunk player anymore
+Golem: Golem probably should've been here from the beginning. It's a powerful bluff, it fails often enough to not be too confirmy, and the extra death is very impactful on a fast script.
Shugenja & Grandmother -> Mathematician & Fool: Neither of these characters fit particularly well with philosopher, and while Grandmother was interesting, it doesn't bring enough to the script compared to others. I wanted more decelerants and ongoing info, and both of these find a unique balance point on this script. Fool can confirm itself, but the summoner can negate that. Fool also counters Godfather in a way that Soldier can't. Mathematician can narrow worlds nicely, help solve the fool's own life status, and even figure out if it's a mastermind night.
Oracle -> Chambermaid: as much as I love oracle here, the interaction with recluse renders it a little too useless. It can no longer detect mastermind, and neither character has the agency to combat the interaction. Chambermaid has an interesting tangle of waking patterns to sift through, and felt like the best fit for the script overall.

oooo

Chambermaid Binary Supernovae!!

#

Assuming it got through to r2?

lone marten
#

ye

#

it beat out this is not my beautiful house

prime dagger
#

Nice

#

I actually like all of these changes

#

So that's cool

neon schooner
#

Each script gets 3 matches guaranteed

prime dagger
#

Oh right

neon schooner
#

1 for each other script in its group

prime dagger
#

That's cool

neon schooner
#

then half of them are eliminated, and the top 8 go to a single elim seeded bracket

I think Ballad is definitely moving up ngl

#

Hopefully this one with it

neon schooner
#

Ballad is simply too iconic

#

Yeah I hope so

twilit sonnet
#

you will likely get a lot of points

#

Gerrymandered in our favor let's go

#

also rip the Djinns bargain

neon schooner
#

The warrens no longer has legion so we'll see

neon schooner
twilit sonnet
#

app doesn't seem to hate legion

#

the game I ran just had the hate directed toward Nodashii

neon schooner
#

Oh really

#

I love dashii there

twilit sonnet
#

uh....

#

ouf

#

look considering the demon can move

#

it felt like poisoner on steroids

neon schooner
#

Right but that's what dashii is made for

#

Maybe warrens pushes it too far but that's very much within the realm of what dashii always does

twilit sonnet
#

Yeah warrens was in the "pushes it too far"

#

I really liked the legion dynamic, sucks he removed it

neon schooner
#

Yeah in the finalists server we were all like noooooo

#

Zets included

twilit sonnet
#

...... goblin

#

is a choice.

neon schooner
#

Funny :3

twilit sonnet
#

very.....

#

solvable

neon schooner
#

Mhm extremely

twilit sonnet
#

I do think that's going to be the downfall this time around

#

also widow is loud poisoner(which is funny)

neon schooner
#

Widow doesn't send out a new ping

twilit sonnet
#

oh.

#

so it's just poisoner+other stuff

neon schooner
#

That one's actually a bigger concern yeah

twilit sonnet
#

that's....

#

a...

neon schooner
#

It's an evil sided djinnlegger

twilit sonnet
#

choice...

neon schooner
#

But have you considered

#

Funny :3

twilit sonnet

No lol

#

I don't wanna dunk on the other scripts

#

a good player already knows a widow is in play

#

why would a new ping be sent out

twilit sonnet
#

a good player doesn't know a widow is still in play

digital island
#

thats not how knowing things works

twilit sonnet
#

I know

digital island
#

once a player knows something, they cant unknow it

twilit sonnet
#

I saw some homebrew with mindwiping

calm furnace
twilit sonnet
#

on reddit, no less

calm furnace
#

On their first night, wake the Widow and show them the Grimoire for as long as they need. The Widow points to a character token in the Grimoire, or a player. Mark that player with a POISONED reminder. Put the Widow to sleep. Wake any good player. Show them the Widow character token. Put that good player to sleep.

If the Widow dies or changes character, their poison ends. Likewise, their poison vanishes while the Widow is poisoned/drunk. When a Widow poisons a player, night 1 has already begun, so it does not prevent any [setup] abilities from taking effect.

If a Widow is created mid-game, execute the first paragraph of the how to run just like you would if they were in play on night 1 – it’s the Widow’s first night that matters for their ability, not how many nights into the whole game you are.

#

eh

#

this implies that it is a new thing

digital island
#

this is a defined interaction

#

its the same reason why minions dont relearn a damsel is in play

calm furnace
neon schooner
#

From zets

calm furnace
#

oh that's fucked up

azure flume
twilit sonnet
#

It’s 1 point behind

#

Which is kinda funny

weak ermine
#

I really dislike godfather on this script

#

the absolute last thing evil needs are more kills on a 2kpn script

#

oracle was core imo, MM is far too oppressive here without it, I don't like it's removal

calm furnace
#

the problem there is Assassin no?

weak ermine
#

assassin too is a character I'm not a fan of

#

here

calm furnace
#

so that every single 2 death is "ooh what if it was demon + assassin this night" "what about this night" "what about this night"

weak ermine
#

I think the overall minion selection here is just not great

calm furnace
#

either you allow ppl to say "there are two evil pings" which causes the godfather to kill the town as they nominate outsiders

weak ermine
#

like, I loved this script to run like, twice, irl where the games are super quick

calm furnace
#

or you force ppl to say "there's an ft yes and an empath 1" which causes the Ojo to kill the town and force them into werewolf

weak ermine
#

also why are there 3 protection roles?

#

soldier/fool should be info roles

calm furnace
#

no, I think that Gambler, Seam and Chef should more ongoing info myself

weak ermine
#

my local group basically has a script like BSN but better which is a solo shab script where the shab doesn't regurgitate unless the game would otherwise end

#

a lot of the roles are the same!

#

chef is on script, ik is on script, and the rest are basically just info roles

#

even gambler is on it

#

why is there no sage/rk/banshee on the script with 2kpn?

#

idk

#

I love this script but it needs to be pretty heavily reworked to be actually good, and the changes you've made so far since it's release have gone in the wrong direction

#

BSN is like that script, except the evil team is significantly stronger and town is weaker.

calm furnace
weak ermine
#

a reason for it too is that BSN demons have abilities

#

the script we play, the demon's ability is "2kpn"

#

no starpass or pukka to worry about

#

to ojo double kill

#

it's not my place to say what the script is

#

(@gritty quail I'm talking about your special menu if you'd like an input)

#

but I think it does BSN better than BSN does BSN

digital island
#

i really dont think the script you're talking about captures the theme of BSN at all

#

BSN's theme isnt "lots of death" BSN's theme is "two demons"

weak ermine
#

so you don't know what the script I'm talking about is

#

but what are the implications of there being two demons?

#

2kpn, plus evil are vulnerable

#

having played like, 5 games of bsn and a lot of special menu, they feel very similar

#

except bsn just doesn't work a lot of the time, especially so with the changes made since releasing

#

special menu isn't "lots of death" - it's 2kpn, plus gambler, with IK and soldier as protection. it actually results in less death than current BSN with assassin and gf

digital island
#

because i feel like these two just arent comparable

weak ermine
#

no, it's not my script

digital island
#

and also the things you're pointing out arent necessarily bad, they're just differences

digital island
weak ermine
#

no but they are bad???

#

evil is absolutely stacked and good is weak

digital island
#

then why does good win this script ever?

weak ermine
#

because sometimes good wins unbalanced scripts???

digital island
#

i think you're overstating how unbalanced it is

weak ermine
#

this script devolves into werewolf, and just randomly hitting people when there are two demons means good likely wins

#

but that's not BotC

digital island
weak ermine
#

have you heard anyone else play this script????

#

like,,,,,

#

have you played it yourself???

digital island
#

yes! people talk about it all the time in this channel

#

i personally havent, but i've spectated several

weak ermine
#

mhm so you've never played BSN, you've never played the script I'm comparing it to, and you've decided you want an input

#

sure buddy

digital island
#

yes i do! because i think you're misrepresenting BSN

#

its perfectly fine if you dont want to accept my input, but im going to give it regardless

calm furnace
#

I will say

#

I’ve only seen good win BSN when they’ve gotten lucky

lone marten
#

Fool/Soldier at least from what Hystrex has shown from the games seems to do well

#

Because evil can't kill it easily

#

I haven't played this script myself though, I'm going off the games which Hystrex has shown

weak ermine
#

I'd remove one of them

lone marten
#

Would you want Oracle back on?

#

I do think when reading you though tone is kinda important

weak ermine
#

mb I wrote this coming right out of participating in a really frustrating text game 😭

#

I mean I stand by everything I said I just said it in a mean way 😭

lone marten
#

From my point of view, it sounds like 'hey I don't like things about this script. My group plays a script which is this but better! doesn't give info about it except it's a solo shabaloth script. and then when people say "that sounds different", you say 'you don't know the script I'm talking about'

#

Like??

#

Feedback is nice

#

But can you see how when you put it in this way you are less likely to be taken seriously

weak ermine
lone marten
weak ermine
#

and I don't believe it's public

lone marten
#

But then it's not that useful as feedback?

weak ermine
#

I'm giving my feedback now? that's just like,,, the grounds on why I'm doing so

lone marten
#

To be very fair

#

What you have done is base feedback off that other script

#

Which sounds like the most reasonable thing to do given your restraints

weak ermine
#

if the person who made the script wants to share it here, it'd be a lot easier 😭

#

but I totally get why they might not, and in that case I can only vaguepost about jt

#

like to summarise

  • I think oracle is core with MM on script
  • GF is way too punishing, extra deaths are worse here than normal
  • fool and soldier are a bit redundant I think? and mean there's less info. id only want one to be on script, not both
  • assassin is very mean but understandable tbh.
  • this script moves too fast for philo, there isn't much it can do that's valuable with the lack of YSKs
  • probably needs rk/sage/banshee
weak ermine
#

that question was rhetorical fyi

twilit sonnet
#

Ok the bait roles

#

Are only good because of mathmetician

#

But also

#

You can still…. Kill either demon to win

weak ermine
#

(and there's an extra evil, and evil gets 2kpn)

twilit sonnet
#

Extra evil with the saint ability

weak ermine
#

like the fact is that if all decisions are made randomly, BSN is horribly good sided. but they arent

lone marten
#

The issue with oracle, or at least the reason its come off, is because recluse dying seems very damaging to it.

weak ermine
lone marten
#

The reason why recluse has come on is because there was a lack of N1 misinformation

weak ermine
#

id prefer a drunk

lone marten
#

The reason why drunk wasn't considered is that it makes the script quite evil sided

#

And with the 6 changes rule, probably would take off a godfather for it

#

Which I also know you don't like

weak ermine
#

the script is already incredibly evil sided

lone marten
#

It's still useful to get context for why changes were made

weak ermine
#

oh ofc

#

it's understandable why the script got changed in the way It did

desert notch
#

let's await a response from the script maker himself I guess?

weak ermine
#

really I think BotC has an outsider problem, there are very few outsiders and most of them aren't fun to play as

#

yea hystrex is in the text game I've been in

#

pretty sure he already knows my sentiment on balance aha but hopefully the writeup i did will be a bit helpful

twilit sonnet
#

Wait Hystrex when did you have 5 outsiders

calm furnace
#

I think that

  • Godfather makes outsider claims virtually impossible to execute
  • Ojo and Godfather make a combo that makes it very hard to figure out how to execute people
  • Assassin Mastermind is an oppressive combo that makes every night an MM night
  • Chambermaid, Empath and Fortune Teller as the evil finders is too rough (current text game is playing werewolf with all three alive) we need more
weak ermine
#

probably a xaan holdover

calm furnace
weak ermine
#

it's not???

calm furnace
#

Xaan version had 4 outsiders

weak ermine
#

ooo

twilit sonnet
#

Math is a confirmation role

#

For roles that won’t die

weak ermine
#

also thing is there's a lot of mm confusion

#

tinker does that too

calm furnace
#

I have never seen Math work on the levels of FT, CM or Empath

twilit sonnet
#

I have seen math work on the level of ft cm or Empath

#

I’ve played this script multiple times as well

#

Math singlehandedly solved the game

weak ermine
#

math is a world narrower

#

but you can't create worlds just from math

gritty quail
#

I haven't followed the thread, but this is the script @weak ermine is referring to. TLDR it's Shab gets 2 kills every night, and town is getting correspondingly powerful info. The difference with BSN is that there's only one person evil has to keep alive, although my opinion is generally:
Special Menu and BSN play quite differently, they're trying to achieve different things, but personally I prefer what SM does
-# SM was originally written for 13-17 player games, which is what it does particularly well

weak ermine
#

tyyyyy

#

I get the same vibe when playing both scripts which is why I brought it up

twilit sonnet
#

I’m also pretty sure Ojo isn’t supposed to be deathmod here

#

At least, not often

gritty quail
#

IMO the vibes of BSN seem much closer to "pick which of the 2 starting demons you want to run with", so it's better for games at standard player counts than SM, but at standard player counts there's plenty of other great scripts. We usually pull out SM whenever we are at 15ish players and not convinced there's time to set up 2 games and split the group

twilit sonnet
#

A lot of the games of BSN

#

Do find 1 demon

#

Unless evil night kills

#

Themselves(please do this evil)

weak ermine
calm furnace
#

evil just playing clocktower and letting 2 good players die each night wins evil consistantly

#

all of the math of BSN is stacked against good

weak ermine
calm furnace
#

you don't need to do anything

#

on 12 there are 4 evils
after 2 good executions (likely) there are 6 players 4 of which are evil

weak ermine
#

but if there are 2 demons in f3, the math is that good wind 66% of the time

gritty quail
#

Evil either plays fast for domination, all evils alive refuse to nominate, or evil plays slow by picking which demon is more trusted / has the more useful ability

Snake charmer

calm furnace
#

at all times you are finding one demon

lone marten
#

the issue is having two living demons

calm furnace
#

exactly

twilit sonnet
#

Also, there’s no droison here(that’s fine)

lone marten
#

You need half of players to vote to get anyone on the block

#

With 2 demons, it's pretty likely that 1 half has at least 1 demon in it

twilit sonnet
#

It’s weaker

#

But that’s fine?

#

It’s not like this script has high misinfo

lone marten
#

It's great if it gets a 'no'

#

I don't think it ever gets a no though

#

And the strategy like

twilit sonnet
#

Getting a yes isnt useless

#

Also, summoner

lone marten
#

Having only part of a 'yes' half vote to narrow down which part is a Demon

#

Doesn't work when you have 2 Demons

twilit sonnet
#

Again, I’m not suggesting halfsies

#

Actually hold on

young loom
# weak ermine like to summarise - I think oracle is core with MM on script - GF is way too pun...

waving_black_paw person who has also played this script a ton

  • agreed w oracle
  • gf is punishing but xaan is worse 💀 and you need something for O-mod, lesser of two evils imo
  • agreed i think; i'd rather keep soldier. town doesn't have time to execute a fool after d3 in most games
  • i mean philo empath is insane here as is magician n1 or chef n3 but ig that tracks? philo doesn't really have a lot a lot of choice, nobody's philoing exorcist or fool
  • i remember talking w hystrex about bait roles here and they're kinda weird? sage/banshee get kinda fucked by having all of pukka/gf/assassin onscript and rk is way swingier than it otherwise would be because there are two immobile demons to hit instead of 1
#

from what i understand recluse was added to provide more reason for n1 misinfo that worked w summoner (because puzzlemaster doesn't work with it) to temper chef/empath/ft

weak ermine
#

have you considered imp --> fg and gf --> widow/poisoner

lone marten
#

Could no Outsider mod and just Drunk work?

#

Imp to Fang Gu?

weak ermine
#

and then recluse gone

#

wait no fg would be awful

lone marten
#

I don't think adding an extra evil is going to help

#

...

weak ermine
#

there's already an extra evil

lone marten
#

Poisoner is insane on this script

weak ermine
#

maybe id be ok with drunk and no O-mod

young loom
#

a grimpeeker on this script feels off vibe and widow feels weirdly loud esp in 1-minion

lone marten
#

I mean Drunk with no O-mod is the closest thing you can get if you don't have Godfatehr

young loom
#

tbh solo drunk kinda eats, who needs positive outsider mod 🗣️ 🔥 🔥

lone marten
#

I wonder if that's the solution, if you don't want Godfather here

#

Yes, no outsider mod, but drunk is some outsider mod, and if evil is still favoured here, you might need something

neon schooner
#

Oh i have so much to catch up on

#

This is good tho dw

I do genuinely think Gambler and Seamstress are definitely too weak

neon schooner

Also there's 4, counting exo

neon schooner
twilit sonnet
#

I’d honestly say Balloonist as ongoing Seamstress works

lone marten
#

I think Soldier should stay from what you've been saying of it

#

Fool is like Soldier just... less

twilit sonnet
#

Fool is worse soldier

#

You could

#

use lycanthrope.

prime dagger

Innkeeper -> Monk??

lone marten
#

Again, I've not played this myself

neon schooner
lone marten
prime dagger
#

I don't think it's that bad here ngl

twilit sonnet
#

Innkeeper works better here imo

lone marten
#

I think having a protection character that really screws over one demon specifically for the sake of 'balance' is bad

neon schooner
twilit sonnet
#

Hystrex how do you feel about lycan?

neon schooner
lone marten
#

I think though I am at least gonna suggest -Godfather +Drunk

#

As a potential way to put soft outsider mod in

#

Yes no positive outsider mod exists then, but on a script which might go at some speed

#

Maybe that's OK?

#

It only is there as a suggestion if no other Outsider mod works

neon schooner
lone marten
#

But Drunk allows you to take Recluse off and put Oracle on

#

Alternatively

#

Toymaker goblin

#

though toymaker is strong w mastermind

twilit sonnet
lone marten
#

And replace it with?

twilit sonnet
#

Nothing

#

4 outsiders is fine

#

Or drunk

lone marten
#

There is context why Hystrex went this way

#

He liked Oracle on here too

neon schooner
lone marten
#

He didn't like Recluse.

neon schooner
lone marten
#

That's fair

neon schooner
twilit sonnet
#

It’s not really a good idea to compare this to solo shab, I’m going to be honest.

neon schooner
twilit sonnet
#

But only when it wouldn’t like

#

Actually affect the game besides that math

#

But yeah ojo isn’t deathmod

lone marten
#

It kinda feels like it should be

twilit sonnet
#

Here

lone marten
#

On a script like this

twilit sonnet
lone marten
#

The only reason it isn't deathmod is

#

"Oh god evil are borked how do we balance this"

#

If good could deal with it, then it can be

#

But they can't

twilit sonnet
#

It’s only a good idea on a MM day

#

And even then

lone marten
#

If by some miracle good find a way to consistently do well against double the demons and +1 evil

twilit sonnet
#

It’s not impossible

lone marten
#

no it isn't

twilit sonnet
#

It’s doable

lone marten
#

Ye

twilit sonnet
#

It’s more like 43/57

lone marten
#

Imagine the alternate reality where the Demon replaced a Minion

neon schooner
lone marten
#

Instead of +1 Demon

twilit sonnet
#

I do think Flowergirl would be interesting

#

If like

#

There wasn’t a recluse

lone marten
#

I really don't know what Flowergirl acheives

#

Your deductions off flowergirl info become much weaker

And having both is just oppressive

What would be the most obscenely strong Minion here in theory

Of all of them

My bet is on Evil Twin

neon schooner

#

Something to experiment with post world cup

neon schooner
twilit sonnet
#

Honestly

#

Imma say fearmonger

neon schooner
#

Lycan and minstrel are immediately out because they're twice as powerful and a bit too confirmable

twilit sonnet

Ok assuming self noms do not exist

neon schooner

Did you think that was the problem 😭

young loom
lone marten
#

Ye

#

I was also thinking Organ Grinder

young loom
#

extra evil + bloc voting

lone marten
#

But Evil Twin is funnier

#

And getting around the only extra wincon good has

#

And sinking an exe into a Minion

#

I think it is close

twilit sonnet
#

WAIT

#

oh shit you’re right

floral arch
#

You're cooking something

lone marten
#

ye good can't win while both idiots are alive

prime dagger
#

Evil needs the help on this script

lone marten
#

actually now imagine taking away assassin and godfather and replacing it with Evil Twin and Vizier

neon schooner
#

Vizier has unironically been suggested bc it's 1 less evil for good to find 😭

lone marten
#

honestly though if good are finding the extra death mod from Godfather+Assassin too much

#

While I get why they are on script

#

Replacing one of them might be cool

neon schooner
#

With what

young loom
#

Return of Xaan seems too oppressive; i kinda fw drunk as solo o-mod

prime dagger
#

How would you make the most evil sided script possible without the use of extra evils? 🤔

lone marten
#

I cannot answer right now

neon schooner
#

Thinking about drunk as solo OM

#

It feels bad to lock evil out of mc/golem/butler bluffs in a third of all games

#

(and recluse but that may or may not leave)

#

((tinker is... yeah whatever lol))

#

Like those are really important parts of the script

lone marten
#

My thought is at least in a 2 Outsider game, a third Outsider claim by a Minion or even demon is a noble ping

#

Do good have enough time to go into this Noble ping

neon schooner
#

Right but I'm talking about 0 outsider games

lone marten
#

sure

neon schooner
#

In 2 outsider games I agree that's generally fine

lone marten
#

That is hugely important

neon schooner
#

Now that I think about it

#

Recluse/gf in particular is prob oppressive here

#

Tbh I could just revert back to monke and have pukka as the "only" misinfo

neon schooner
#

It's indistinguishable

lone marten
#

just execute their teammates easy

neon schooner
#

So true

lone marten
#

but ye perhaps needs thought

neon schooner
#

I'm not too worried for the stream bc I feel like the TPI stream team will turn that into content

lone marten
#

Yea of course

neon schooner
#

But I care more about script quality than stream moments

lone marten
#

TPI stream can turn anything into content

neon schooner
#

True

lone marten
#

This one is a tough rule to crack

#

Obviously the solution is Shabaloth who resses each night

fringe crescent
#

This but -- is executed and dies

neon schooner
#

No vati that would be harpy madness not cere/mutant

fringe crescent
#

No I'm being executed by town for being evil

So when will we have the EN* Regurgitate shabaloth version of the script?

  • the problem is evils can freely claim outsider because it’s too risky to execute them
  • I think thid is a more insidious problem that exists but is hard to see in practice that causes evil to be as powerful as it is
  • eh I think while that might hold true for this specific longtext game where all 3 ongoing info role still exist, most of my evil games of BSN end up dispatching every single info role in the first three nights then watching town be forced to constantly double guess themself over and over again as they have virtually no info
  • Dreamer, General, and maybe Undertaker and Village Idiot
lone marten
#

Rare Undertaker Mastermind script where its balanced

#

But UT/Dreamer is unbluffable

neon schooner
lone marten
#

:P

calm furnace
#

like yes it is unbluffable, good kinda needs that tho

idle marten
#

Just replace fool and have UT take up the confirm spot

neon schooner
#

But like

#

UT oracle? Really?

#

At that point I go cannibal oracle

#

Which

#

No

lone marten
#

If you have ut you don't need Oracle

calm furnace
#

tbh the problem is that Ojo just always says UT

neon schooner
#

Might return to monke

#

I already miss oracle 😭

#

Maybe with gambler -> chambermaid

twilit sonnet
neon schooner
#

I just don't want to take the social aspect out of it

#

There's so little misinfo in that version

twilit sonnet
#

Pukka is pretty damaging

neon schooner
#

But since then it's been shown that evil can create their own artificial misinfo, or pull off some shenanigans to hide pukka poison

young loom
neon schooner
#

😭

#

Wait a sec

#

There's a chance it's not too late

#

I'll just ask ben

#

Ok asked

#

Too late 😔

#

(quick response time!!)

#

Ok so v3 is likely a return to monke but with gambler -> cm

#

I'm a little worried that makes assassin less interesting? But eh

#

Meh, stab the pukka for a night of untraceable poison

#

It's fine

#

Wait no that doesn't work nvm

#

Night order

#

Uhhh cover up the imp doing that then

calm furnace

#

I think that's more a recluse thing than a godfather thing

calm furnace

||godfather was the thing that made it so that "if we are wrong abt dylan we lose on the spot"||

We’re begging you

That's not everything though

calm furnace
#

not really

#

because there are 2 kills every night

#

and you have no way of knowing which is pukka poisoned

neon schooner
#

Sure but you know a lot of players who weren't pukka poisoned

#

I do really like the dynamic of pukka + misinfo here bc it's still never the case that your info is probably poisoned

twilit sonnet
#

Pukka being the only misinfo is fine tbh

floral arch

It is interesting dynamic.

twilit sonnet

Yeah no I do think gambler/Fool are wayyyyy too weak

I’m going to suggest Mayor for fool.

  1. Ditch mm (almost a hard no)
