Have you the art to lie, and the ability to see? Have you the knowledge of the strings behind your backs?

As you settle in to your respective lodgings, you take in every landscape you can see. The clock strikes 1. Something tells you this is going to be a long night.

In the terror and fright,
Know that reality cares not for the fading of the light,
Nor the terror that lies in the night.

Beware of the Strings In The Dark.

-# we're back for a third installment! We're going bigger and badder!!


Hey all!
I'm proud to announce that after two consecutive playtests, I love this script and am running it again! 

Ever wonder if the Lunatic ISN'T convincing enough? Think you can get executed and be fine? THINK AGAIN!

The capstone Character interaction here is the Hermit ![hermit](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1382986550647717918.webp?size=128 "hermit") , possessing several lethal abilities including Lunatic ![lunatic](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/586693973679276032.webp?size=128 "lunatic") , Recluse ![recluse](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/586693973070971174.webp?size=128 "recluse") , and Saint ![saint](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/586693973326823425.webp?size=128 "saint") !

Due to time constraints over the Summer Holidays, though, and also to make sure I have enough downtime from Clocktower to avoid burnout, I'm scheduling this one on mid-July.

So I am also pleased to announce that this time I am welcoming up to 15 players for this no frills edition of _Strings In The Dark_!

‼️ Beware that this script is of high complexity, and I will demand high activity from all players. 

As usual, cya there! I look forward to it!

And then cue the Innkeeper learning a 2 and being like

#

Ah.

elder quiver
#

😂

carmine veldt
#

Too bad this script features not a Wizard

#

It does feature a Xaan

#

And considering what this script can do

#

It can do wonders

#

I even found several weird fun setups

#

Weird meaning like

#
  • Xaan 4
  • Magician Vs. Marionette shenanigans
  • Xaan 0 and Math 3 in the same night
  • as high as an actual Math 7
livid lantern
carmine veldt
#
  • Despite no droisoning, Math 3
#

Somehow it gets rowdier when we go over 12p

#

So that's something I suppose

livid lantern
#

I fear games past 12p

carmine veldt
#

Hehe

#

bro thinks this is Choose Your Own Alignment

#

Math 7 💀💀💀

#

I would like to see the day when my Mathematician looks at that and goes

#

ain't no way I'm sober

elder quiver
#

I fear teensy

#

Oh god I have to do math

#

It’s what calculators are for

carmine veldt
#

When you get to where I'm at you lucky to have any

carmine veldt
#

Crazy

  • June I'll be going somewhere and I don't wanna be looking at my phone all that much
#

Cuz I'll be there with friends and family

#

So July it is

#

However I love the enthusiasm

#

I don't wanna

#

curb it

carmine veldt
#

Oh dang we at 11

#

It's crazy how much interest this generates what

#

I feel proud of creating this script now its my first actually successful script among many bad ones

#

Or just "ok" ones

#

I didn't expect this to be a favorite lol 🔥🤣🎊🎉

#

Gotta love it

#

Lemme rant about how I made this

#

There's this channel #1399777176902963360

#

Which is where we discuss character interactions daily

#

Once I had the weird idea of

#

HERMIT

#

And SNAKE CHARMER

#

With the caveat of recluse saint lunatic

#

And everyone was like

#

YO PEAK INTERACTION

#

So I tried building a script around it

#

Which is how this was born

#

I'm really glad it made its way into the heart of puzzle script lovers

#

Gives me much more hope for other things

livid lantern
#

You’re doing well AA!

unkempt belfry
#

this hermit is just an uh drunk good demon who if exed cuases a good loss

#

but they still can register as evil

#

this is lao a way that once hermit is executed you can say: a person thinkign they were the demon is executed & a team has won

#

evils know

#

gooddoesnt know

#

who won

cerulean star
#

I'm super excited for this game, I'm also very busy in June but July I'll have more time for complicated scripts and saw this and was like this looks awesome

Peace was once a Lunatic

#

To an actual Po (it was a Po back then)

#

ALSO

#

ALSO

#

I SAW REAL MINIONS

#

amd i saw a mario 'sitting next to recluse'

#

turns otu they were actually a goblin

#

and

#

the other minion who i saw was the real widow of whom i could sense in our chat (after game) he wa sprobably debatign wheter to give me a grim or not

#

i think ender decided aigenst it because of BOTH A LUNA AND HERMIT IN BAG

carmine veldt
#

With Hermits and Lunatics, all is fair game

#

I could have given you as the Hermit's Hermit despite you being a Lunatic

#

I am only obligated to tell the "truth" to the actual evil team

unkempt belfry
#

luna in bmr:
luna: guys iim luna >nominate peace
gf: ty for free kill

luna in here:
luna/hermit: guys i have the lunatics ability >nominate peace
ST: the game is over a team has won

Does the demon learn of a hermit or a lunatic if hermit is in play?

Lunatic (Outsider) - Bad Moon Rising

You think you are a Demon, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are & who you choose at night.

**Affects Setup: **False

unkempt belfry
#

since the text doesnt say the demon leanrs you are a lunatic

#

while

#

*role damsel

mystic zealotBOT
# unkempt belfry *role damsel
Damsel (Outsider) - Experimental

All Minions know a Damsel is in play. If a Minion publicly guesses you (once), your team loses.

**Affects Setup: **False

unkempt belfry
#

minions cant learn hermits

#

bc the damsle text speicifcally says that minions learn a DAMSEL is in play

#

(though screw that with gf 😂 )

elder quiver
#

im pretty sure they just learn a damsel is in play, rather than a hermit is in play

#

cause its tied to the damsel's ability itself not the hermit's

unkempt belfry
#

but lunatic doesnt say ththis so the dmeon can learn hermits

#

which is fun if you give an hermit luna some oher outsider abbility's

elder quiver
#

demon just learns the hermit is the lunatic, not that theyre the hermit

unkempt belfry
#

if an hermit luna has for exmaple ogre and you somehow learn what player the ogre selected you knowif theyre evil or not

unkempt belfry
elder quiver
#

right

#

the intent is that the demon knows who has the lunatic ability not their actual role

#

but more than likely they are the lunatic and not a hermit/cannibal/philo cause of design choice

#

which i think is why the newer tokens have updated text and tpi doesnt wanna change anything about the b3 roles cause they are printed in the main game

unkempt belfry
#

pretty sure AA gave out hermti tokens to the dmeon instead of luna token

elder quiver
#

no, they just tell the demon who their lunatic(s) is/are

#

not what character they pulled

#

unless the text reads like grandmother who specifically learns their character

#

lunatic reads "demon knows who you are" not what you are

#

demon will know that 1 of the 2 lunatics is the hermit of course cause its not possible otherwise unless a philo went lunatic/hermit and the demon gets 3 lunatics jerry

unkempt belfry
elder quiver
#

that wording is there on purpose

livid lantern
elder quiver
#

so how its ran is that they know they are the lunatic. the wording on lunatic is meant to be on b3 and doesnt necessarily interact well with exp roles

livid lantern
#

They’re not suppose to learn they are the hermit

#

Only lunatic

#

Cause you know kind of takes away from the effect of being the lunatic

elder quiver
#

lunatic says they know who you are, not what you are. thats directly with the lunatics ability but on a script like bmr, lunatic is the only option to get that piece of info as the demon but other scripts with philo, lunatic, hermit, cannibal will just learn they are a lunatic, whether they just have the ability or just pulled the token isnt really factored in, just that they are now being treated as the lunatic

unkempt belfry
#

@carmine veldt can you cconfrim im not tripoign and dmeons can see hermits?

carmine veldt
#

Yes

#

Demons have info on both Hermit and Lunatic

unkempt belfry
#

@elder quiver

#

im not going sane

livid lantern
#

I don’t think you still show hermit

#

But I’ll have to look into this

loud venture

*role luna

# loud venture *role luna
Lunatic (Outsider) - Bad Moon Rising

You think you are a Demon, but you are not. The Demon knows who you are & who you choose at night.

**Affects Setup: **False

devout trail
loud venture
#

I think the demon should see both because it’s the power of the Luna, which the hermit has too

oblique galleon
#

yeah AA let the demon know that both of characters with the lunatic ability, both lunatic and hermit

#

I forget the reasoning behind showing the hermit as the hermit and not lunatic

loud venture
#

Well it’s worded “the demon knows who you are” not as “the demon knows you are the lunatic” so I can see it

livid lantern
#

Idk I feel like knowing they’re the hermit is a lot of info in a way?

#

Maybe I’m wrong

oblique galleon
#

eh

#

the alhad likely will not be picking them at night either way

#

or until lategame at least

#

why pick the suspected hermit when you can kill some actual townsfolk roles

livid lantern
#

Well yes. Suppose it’s always the let’s push the hermit to win cause they could be the demon

loud venture
unkempt belfry
#

the wording does sya know shwo ouyou are as in you are th ehermit not th elunatic

#

bc thats not hwat you are

You start knowing a good player & their character. If the Demon kills them, you die too.

wording is absolutly inportant in clocktwer

#

and if tpi wanted to chnage this they would have to chnage the luna's wording or ggive hermit its 1st actuall jinx

That's something you have to figure out as a player

In fact the first time I put the Math in is to detect exactly how many people got thrown off mechanically by the Hermit

But you know, it’s interpretation

It's in the spirit of the character ability...
