BOTC/BOTF Discussion Thread 2

I am going to steal this, muhahahahaha

(Though if you want I can photoshop the text to look proper)

(And try to do ā€œartā€ to replace the icons. But I think itā€™s good how it is ironically.)

My favourite part about this image is the environmental storytelling of how you can totally tell ā€œPillarcentreā€ was changed to ā€œPillarcenterā€

I loved that part when theyā€™ve said itā€™s pillarcentre time and pillarcentered

Yeah, the Storytellers figured that out a few days into the game :crogge:

I had fun. Since I was the Cerenovus. And thereā€™s potential for extreme shenanigans there. Mutant claimed while under Minstrelā€™s influence and so I got to get them Awesome Stabbed the next day. And I accidentally killed my own teammate but doing so ended up being good for us in the long run so

At least they found out :skull:

Basically nobody in the game had played Blood on the Clocktower before, by the way. This was our introduction to the game. Longform.

One would think that killing the Devilā€™s Advocate D2 via accidental bus and then the Scarlet Woman via accidental madness break (I still maintain it was their fault that they answered my question, given I immediately tried to stop them from doing so) would not make for a victory but by god did I brute force that carry. No competence only pockets

Iā€™m trying to find the screenshot that says ā€œMay doesnā€™t have pockets May just runs around with a butterfly net and yoinks peopleā€. Stark contrast to my wolf play here. Iā€™m a great wolf when Iā€™m Not Scared

ok so wait

did you forget who your teammates were or did the Storyteller just. Not tell you them. I donā€™t see Poppy Grower on the script

The accidental bus was purely a social error. We had messed up our night actions such that I was holding the Lilā€™ Monsta token but not protected by Devilā€™s Advocate, so I panicked under the slightest bit of pressure and tossed out a case in my teammateā€™s direction, intending for it only to be a distance. Unfortunately someone picked it up and ran with it toward EoD and got them killed. I argued against it, in a deeply obvious move, but it was too late.

The Cerenovus kill was another convoluted accident. I Cerenovused my teammate because they didnā€™t yet have a claim, and I knew what on the script was a safe fakeclaim at that point, so it was a nudge at ā€œHey. Claim this, and if it falls through, say it was madnessā€. I couldnā€™t directly whisper them because they were sus as hell and I was deepwolf at that point and couldnā€™t afford any scrutiny. And then through a chain of whispers I asked them like ā€œhey what were you planning to claim before thisā€ and the follow-up ā€œWAIT FUCK DONā€™T ANSWER THATā€ didnā€™t reach them in time

TL;DR I do random shit when I panic

Thatā€™s my biggest weakness in any case. Every wolfgame of mine is a beautiful wonderful palace carefully constructed that falls apart as soon as any kind of pressure is put on it. If I can keep everything on the rails, I donā€™t panic and I win. If I canā€™t, I fall apart and lose. Very easy stuff.

Itā€™s not even that I crumble under pressure as in suspicion. If I know Iā€™m going to receive suspicion, if I can prepare myself for it, I can handle it perfectly fine. I crumble under unexpected suspicion, unexpected behaviourā€¦ Pathologic I fell apart because the wrong townie was misexecuted the day before ExLo. I didnā€™t have any semblance of a plan for what to do with Eliza already dead, and I was too overconfident in myself to make one in the night, so I just threw. I need a plan. I always need a plan.

Next BoTF should have Vizier 100%.

I ask, once again

Are you positive Vizier is going to be fun?

Asynchronous environments are difficult to coordinate in, and Vizier requires top notch coordination for Good to surpass.

And will it be fun for the Vizier player themselves? They have no room to bluff.

Besides, I have a better idea. Just needs some more refinement.

If you know you know.

Well we had an Organ Grinder in BoTF, which as far as I remember wasnā€™t expected to work in long form BoTC. Vizier should be easier, as the storytellers only have to ask the Vizier if they want to use their ability or not.
