BOTC/BOTF Discussion Thread 2

recluse can win with the evil team despite only registering

<3

they explicitly cannot

the almanac could not be more clear about this

okay the almanac admittedly could stand to be slightly more clear about this. but they cannot

the only way to settle this debate is to have amelia tell us what it is in 9 hours…

The onlyy way to settle this debate is through vooelnce

if misreg could affect wincons spies would start playing for good

this is like making the claim that recluse can never be on script because the storyteller will always show it the demon

Adding multiple red herring candidates doesn’t help for the simple reason that it could potentially affect too many roles with a Lycanthrope in play, or there could potentially not be enough sources of misinformation if you just build a script conclusively around it.

With that said, making a solo red herring register to just the Lycanthrope does limit the uniqueness factor. It’s a powerful ability but it has a cool script-building impact which can’t be readily replicated, akin to Bounty Hunter. Yes, this could be bad; Klutz, Noble, Village Idiot, sure. But it could also be great with other roles; Soldier, Mathematician, Marionette.

This could be fine.

Other interesting interaction:

CL could just not learn, if they are turned evil, since the were registered as evil beforehand. (also in this case Lycan red herring has to move, since it can only effect good players.) So CL eventually will learn when they turn good.
Same with Goon, if it starts as the Lycan’s red herring.

Hello, I watched a youtube video of people playing BOTC and despite being a lifetime botc hater on this site it actually looked quite fun so I would be interested in playing in next one. The only game I played here was 6 years ago and a bunch of people from outside the game turned up and formed an alliance (led by Kiiruma) and allied against all the good people so it was bullshit and I’ve never played since from PTSD.

But in the youtube video I watched they didn’t have the dumb ability for random people to turn up which is way better so my request is for someone to please host one like that so I can join (or at least prevent loads of people from turning up and allying against the permanent players).

Wait a second, the fuck you mean?
The first BotF I played was Ides of Blood. And that was less than 4 years ago. And you weren’t even in it.

Also “Leading an alliance against the good people” is uh… what?
In BotF that ain’t a thing mate.
