also any game where personal efforts can be undone by host meddling is bad and should be avoided

Botc is unfortunately fundamentally designed around it

And is also designed for irl casual-ish play

This is why SnV is allowed to exist

i was a replacement thrust into the spotlight

(i forgot how much i disliked BoTC)

Botc is actually mostly Fine with host bias because, well, they designed around it

then imo it is ~objectively~ a poorly designed game

But if somebody creates like a single role that says “you are the tinker the host can kill you at any time” and inserts it into some random setup. Yeah that sucks

It definitely doesn’t work longform but may I remind you that it’s designed for irl and real-time play

I do agree that you do need like, a reasonable host who doesn’t fuck people over for no reason tho

then why have you run it long form 31 times

I understand this ideology, but if a game is designed around a “gm” making it enjoyable (say DnD) it’s perfectly fine

However botc’s winner isn’t usually just completely decided by the host in my experience, nor is it a majority “the host did this random thing and we basically just won”
So it’s like, pretty good. As long as you don’t have a host who is determined to fuck over a team at every turn. If you do stop signing up for their games
