BLOOD ON THE CLOCKTOWER - MAYOR OF MADNESS - 40 - Hermitcraft Season 9

[@justinsmith5870]

Iskall-That's a lovely accusation from a thief. Joe-I got it second hand. Ba-dum-chiss.

[@SolitaryGrave143]

lol

[@ki11ershark]

That was a hilarious statement from Iskall, I missed him on hermitcraft.

[@Nihilore]

My favourite bit of this whole thing haha

[@justinsmith5870]

My favorite part is Joe effectively did get it second hand. He didn't make the original accusation. Cleo just picked the last of three to get things going right.

[@lightning_11]

Joe says so many briliant things that practically nobody notices. That's why I live the comments section so much!

[@thetigerrex5586]

Impulse as the imp (with his name starting with imp). Cub as the poisoner (with his lab skin) is just perfect match. Should been obvious XD

[@nasiskahn]

Right! These were a good pair! I wish we could see an Among Us pair up with these two.

[@lightning_11]

Iskal as the soldier after all his vault hunters experience also fits.

[@Takisan111]

X being the saint is also really good casting XD

[@lolli_popples]

The funniest part is Impulse didn’t even have to lie in the last accusation. He could have literally said “My argument is that I’m the demon and I’m gonna win now because Cub is my minion.” And then move to voting, him and Cub vote, it ties, and he wins.

True. And he probably lost because of it. Although it makes sense for the saint to be paranoid.

[@thegameplayer125]

question now is how long will it take for xisuma to actually get the hang of the game. my hope is he releases his pov considering as somebody who used to play tos (town of salem) quite a lot, i would be very interested to see the pov from somebody who is unfamiliar with these types of games like xisuma was. while it might take several run throughs of the game to understand, it really is quite fun and intense when you do get the hang of it

[@Sylfa]

@@thegameplayer125 I have a feeling no game will be more intense than this one for X, no matter how much he learns about it. Imagine being unused to games like this, misunderstanding the rules, being up for an execution vote while knowing they lose if he can't defend himself… Perfect storm.

[@trumtrum5136]

Sicko

[@filipdolinski1559]

It would be funny for the dead people to drink invisibility potions, so they are more like ghosts. It would be also less confusing during the votes.

[@Narfignugan]

i was thinking this! since they're playing in minecraft, the game could use a few more visual indicators, such as a "real" execution after voting, (they could get thrown off the clocktower!) and ghosts could drink invisibility potions or perhaps be the only players in all-black or all-white armor? (iron or netherite armor with the silence trim in netherite would be absurdly expensive, especially since there'd be multiple sets required, but would be a really cool option to indicate dead players!) i really liked cleo's use of heads to show someone being out of votes, so leaning into things like that would be great!!

[@carlospallete3030]

agreed or even leather armor plus potion, the head on the floor is good also.

[@Digdug-remastered]

This...

[@theglasswolf3206]

Invisibility potion + dead players wearing their own heads would be cool. Just a bunch of floating heads drifting around the map.

[@4203105]

They could wear their player heads, so only the heads are floating around.

[@aliciapothier4421]

You can hear the moment when impulse realizes he has won. It’s when he realizes that Cub has that final ghost vote. There’s a slight upturn in his voice. I love this game so much Cleo! Great work!

[@LucyTheBox]

A few cosmetic ideas for this game: Maybe you could create a pit in the middle of the circle with a trap door. Whenever someone is executed (and dies), they drop through the trap door. Dead players could wear white leather armor, to more easily identify them as ghosts. When rotating to count votes, you might want to punch the air every time you register the vote or lack thereof of a player, so it's clear at which position in the circle you currently are.

[@Ironsight_Army]

I was just thinking of the white leather armor to identify ghosts as well!!

[@Paradigm7977]

Impulse was the perfect imp. And xisuma played it so well to not get killed. I can't believe it came to that at the end. I was so excited

[@humourlessjester3584]

It was so funny, though, when Gem asked his role and he said he was the saint and Gem panicked because they were planning to vote X or Cub off.

[@WolfiePH]

Weirdly, despite X saying that he's the most clueless of this sort of game, he played his role in the most optimal way possible. - He's a good that lived till the end - Didn't stir the pot unnecessarily with false info - Didn't prompted the evils to get a guaranteed solid kill on a townsfolk (him) - Played like a real saint.

[@humourlessjester3584]

To be fair, if you saw Impulse's game, he specifically didn't kill X because he wanted them to make a mistep and vote X, which kinda happened at the end. Poor Xuma.

[@jetistheswampert9166]

​@@humourlessjester3584He voted X to continue his Facade as a Mayor since if it was a Tie no one dies And Impulse kills X and win or They execute X and still lose because he is a Saint (And Theres also cub saving his vote at the perfect situation)

[@deldarel]

The saint is an outsider. But I'd also like to add: only X could have done this. Him being 'always clueless' in these games really saved him, giving him the benefit of the doubt until he was forced to play his cards.

[@tetsujin_144]

Yeah X's behavior in the game makes more sense if he was actually role-playing his game role as the saint - not lying, etc.

[@berndarndt9924]

Point 3 doesn't matter since only one immune role was in the game and evil knows who is good. Most of the townfolk have useful roles, so for good it would have been much better for X to be killed by imp.

[@lqmie8029]

The only thing that went through my head every time you gave Hypno the number of evil neighbours was "he's playing social minesweeper over here-"

[@humourlessjester3584]

Watching this game from your perspective I'm really seeing how Cub's early poisoning really set the stage for this entire game. Plus, him withholding the vote to the last turn really secured them that win. All Impulse needed to do was to not draw suspicion to himself until the final three which he did masterfully. The moment people threw accusations against him, he practically already won. Very clean game from the Imp team, ngl. (Also I'm with Ren that someone should literally die in the vote, purely for entertainment purposes 😂)

[@nielskorpel8860]

The last choice where the good guys could have won, was when xisuma had to choose whether to favor executing impulse. If he had chosen to execute, impulse still could have nominated someone who could have gotten three votes,... maybe. But Xisumas choice was crucial for a win.

[@humourlessjester3584]

@nielskorpel8860 True. But iskall was also convinced at the last second, because in his words, "in the slim chance impulse isn't lying", so X voting too would not have influenced that. He was going for the tie either way if impulse would have kept the same performance up to that moment and still convinced iskall. So it's not only that X should have voted but also if iskall didn't vote in the last second. The chances were very slim for the good team. Impulse really put them in a tight rope on those last votes.

[@nielskorpel8860]

@@humourlessjester3584 If X had voted voted against Impulse, Iskall could indeed have voted against Xisuma, too, and create a tie. I thought Iskall was convinced to vote so only because he realised it didn't matter anymore? Maybe I have that wrong. But if that was the case, then Xisumas choice would have impacted iskall, making it less likely he'd vote against Xisuma. Although the arguments could have been different as Impulse would have tried to convince Iskall anyway. I'd say we can't compute what would have happened in that branch.

[@geo4876]

@@humourlessjester3584 I thought iskall had voted because he didn't want the vote to tie, which would mean that if impulse had 3 votes, iskall would not have voted against X, because then that would tie.

[@humourlessjester3584]

@geoman265. He was definitely confused at that last stretch because he said he wanted to vote in case impulse was telling the truth but still voted even though that would make the votes 3/2. My assumption is that in his panic, he didn't realise Cub also voted and already secured the tie or he knew cub voted but didn't think of the maths in his panic. So he gave his vote in haste.

[@stickupking1064]

A suggestion for people not hearing the bell. Use a jukebox and make the disk sound like a bell and extend the sound radius to cover all the houses.

[@humourlessjester3584]

A simpler piece of redstone would be to connect the bell with other bells under everyone's houses using redstone and repeaters. It's not pretty, but it works.

[@carlospallete3030]

ask Doc to do it lmao

[@rayherrly5592]

[@thegameplayer125]

that and it's obvious that xizuma had by far the least experience playing a game like this vs impulse who has had by far the most experience due to his among us hours. as somebody who used to play town of salem which is very similar to this, i would most definitely try to keep the newer player alive to the end since they would be the easiest person to get eliminated at the end game. it might be a more ruthless strategy but it's pretty effective to use

[@hermitcollector]

X was literally dying the whole time. I relate so much. Trying to play among us with my family was so nerve wracking 😂

[@karaleetdrenduringdragon8961]

True, but the problem for X was, if he's a noob among sharks, and he got the imp role, wouldn't it have looked a lot like this? The main dif I see would have been he might have been more active as he would have been more in touch with Cleo the GM during the game and might have calmed down a bit more and made some plays. Imp did a fabulous job as the imp tho, and Cub for the win at the end with playing his vote at the perfect time.

[@acenomadic]

From watching impulse's perspective, I definitely think that next time you run this you should definitely clarify how voting actually works. It definitely seemed like multiple people thought that they were supposed to choose to flip their light specifically AS you were looking at them rather than before.

[@Sylfa]

A bit of redstone could help there, have a lever in the middle that lock repeaters. So instead of a lever powering the light directly it would do so through a 1-tick repeater, then the storyteller flips the lever in the middle and after that count the votes. It's not necessary to do it that way, but it'd help reinforce that the vote can't be changed at a certain point.

[@MoonyFBM]

I thought that too! Oh well

[@Redfiregtag]

I don't understand why its an issue as you can simply count the lights at any time after the vote. Its only a hand full of people it cant be hard to count

This is my second time watching after impulses pov so it really is starting to make sense. Especially from the game masters pov and btw great job hosting Cleo!

[@tobiasburke9495]

The way I learnt the rules was through the series on the channel No Rolls Barred! The first video, some of the players have never played before, so it still has the feel of that first-time experience, and they also have the chief storyteller of the company that made the game to explain the rules, so it all is very well laid out. Plus, it's a load of fun and hours of content to sink your teeth into! P.S. I've made several of these comments about NRB but I'm not a bot, just a super fan who genuinely thinks that it's the single best way to experience the game. I'm just so glad that more people are discovering this game, outside of the little bubble it existed in.

I watched this first from Impulse's perspective and was very confused about what happened with xB. I couldn't figure out why poor, confused Xisuma insisted xB had said he was the undertaker. Now hearing the roll call, with xB admitting "I lied to Xisuma and then threw shade on him just for fun", it suddenly made sense 😂 For anyone who watches the No Rolls Barred channel's plays of Clocktower, xB is basically Isaac: the chaos gremlin who doesn't care who wins or loses, as long as he sows as much confusion as possible 😂 ("Laurie is my demon", for those who know...)

1:07:21 If they were paying attention, they would've realized that Impulse outed himself as the demon. He said "We were trying to figure out why Iskall didn't die the first night!" In reality, they were trying to figure out why NO ONE died on the first night. As soon as Iskall revealed his role, they immediately knew exactly why he wouldn't have died if he was targeted, and thus didn't spend any time trying to figure out why HE in particular didn't die. The only person who would've known that Iskall specifically should've died on the first night AND who would've spent any amount of time trying to figure out "why Iskall didn't die" was the demon.

[@miniciominiciominicio]

THIS. WAS. AWESOME!!! Cleo, I am so happy you were able to pull this off! I was entertained the entire time. Iskall & Ren stating that Impulse was very experienced at Among Us was so true it hurt when Iskall let go of his conviction right at the end, allowing the evil team to win. xD Plus Ren constantly saying that Xisuma never knows what’s going on and is panicking so he can’t be the demon was so funny. I hope X didn’t take offence to that. It’s an endearing quality because he tries his best to be good at the game but him just being so silent not trusting anybody making everyone suspicious of him when he just didn’t quite understand how to play the game was adorable. I would love to see Xisuma play Among Us. As the crew he would be so sus every time. And as the Imposter he’d be figured out in the second round of voting. 1st, if Etho and/or Grian were playing lol Impulse did really well and I’m going to watch his episode next. I think Gem did great with her little time she had alive. Ahhh, I would love to see her in the Demon or Minion role. Iskall played SO well throughout. I can’t imagine him not being in the game. I’m so happy it coincided with his return to the server as obviously this will get seen by everyone else’s fans who were in the game. You did such an amazing job. I wasn’t put off by the mistakes at all; I enjoyed the way you used text to help describe the issues and how you fixed it. I really hope this gets played again a couple more times at least. Congrats on one of the best games this season!!

[@jlane1473]

i'm only halfway through this one. the hermits all totally committed to the game, what a fantastic idea Cleo! One of my favorite hermit craft episodes of season 9. Even starring Iskall, Gem, Hypno!

[@el3na.]

Literally just started learning this game with friends. So cool to see it in Hermitcraft! You did a great job storytelling too

[@crystaldazz]

This is pure speculation, but I think Xisuma's "confusion" and quietness was less about being confused and more about having an innate moral code about never lying. And it looked like this game was pushing the boundaries of his own moral code. Again.. speculation, but this is what it looked like. I might be way off base here, but knowing what I do about X, it seems plausible.

[@kierianiis]

Aww, points to X for trying so hard to play along with a game so far out of his comfort zone

[@edenstar80]

This game was so awesome - Impulse’s Among Us experience coming in super clutch at the end there…. and Gem eventually catching on to that and emphatically being correct but no-one quite believing was comedy gold lol. Can’t wait to see another round with more of the Among Us pros thrown in like Etho, Tango, BDubs, Grian, Pearl & Scar…… the outlandish tales that will be told will be hilarious. I imagine if Mumbo played he’d be confused and a bit erratic like an Xisuma/Ren mix. Scar would probably need a speech timer 😂

[@angelcollides]

I agree.

[@edenstar80]

@@angelcollides lol that is the correct answer 😁

[@PromptCriticalJello]

The funny thing is that Impulse could have just stood up at the podium when he accused Xisuma and declared that he was the Imp, and he would have still won. With Cub's vote there was no way to loose.

[@abhijeetvdsh]

Impulse could have kept his promise by nominating iskall he already had cub in pocket

[@the_pseudo_nim]

Obviously there are some hiccups but this premise is awesome. I think this should end up as a stand alone series.

[@A6by]

As a fellow Storyteller, you did so amazing for your first time! I hope to see more of this in the future, its so fun!

[@benjaminhughes385]

I’m a huge fan of blood my wife and I were so excited to see you do this

[@rhi8030]

Thank you for making this game Cleo, I started getting into Clocktower because of your videos and mini game. I joined a discord server for playing and am making a ton of new friends from all over the world, so thank you so much

[@mysticjerboa]

This was honestly one of the best and most enjoyable hermitcraft episodes I've seen in a while, great job Cleo, please play more of this!

[@AndrewBrownK]

42:40 I have no clue if what Cub said here was true or not, but if not, he was slick as heck

[@Fantaszika]

Loved watching this so much! I hope you guys play again, I got so invested. Amazing how just about every character who receives information died so early, it would have played out so much differently otherwise!

[@user-jn4sw3iw4h]

1:10:30 Tough one. How clear do you need to be, when someone isn't keeping up? The reason no nominations were allowed at the moment X asked, was because the execution had already been called. (I think that part was pretty clear) The reason the execution was called, without granting the town an option to put forward an alternative (potentially life-saving) nomination, was: It would take 7 to tie (8 to beat), with all current ghosts having spent their 'single post-mortem vote' (A rule I think, is not very clear to everyone) and only 6 players alive. Even with a self-voter it would not be possible to change this outcome, no need to ask for an attempt. Both Cleo and Gem said 'is not possible', but I see how this part is easy to miss.

[@cracksofamber]

Wow fantastic game! Such a nail biter at the end. Couldn't stop watching. Thanks so much for running it Cleo! Would love to see another round. Impulse was a very smooth talking demon.

[@JudithARobinson]

I've always known I'd be dreadful at games like this, though I love watching other people play them. Having now seen Impulse's video, and Cleo's, which is almost a behind the scenes POV, I'd love to see it from Xisuma's side to find out just what was going through his mind😂 Such a good game, made even better by such a diverse group of players. I look forward to maybe seeing more😊

[@StarNanny]

Fun game! But sooo much information! I would need checklists for each format; circle/vote/execution, night info/action, etc. A count down timer, maybe turning off lamps as time goes by, ending with bells going off, could be fun, and take one item off the GM’s task list. Ask one of the redstone lovers for that. It could be built around the tower top, or up one corner, or similar, for all to be able to see and check.

[@TheCatOnTheMoon]

This was awesome! Thank you Cleo for putting together and running this game. Bless Xisuma’s heart. I hope he comes back to play again despite all the confusion!

[@Fenntic]

i would love to watch live streams of people playing this its awesome!! poor X all he knew was be inno and survive

[@Sylfa]

It would be hard, if not impossible, for them to interact with the livestream during a game though. Unlike among us you really need to focus on the interactions, and you *know* someone would try to cheat to "help" their favourite streamer and give away who is who. So it'd just be an unedited video in comparison to a normal stream.

[@xXfzmusicXx]

Don't worry too much Cleo, this game is amazing. Nobody is perfect, but what you did was amazing, and I love watching every game from all perspectives. Edit: Yes I'm watching this late, but I wanted to see all perspectives before seeing yours :P

[@kellirandoja]

X is literally like me when learning a new game, confused until the end lol

[@VagueCastle649]

I just got back into the social deduction genre. Your game looks very fun and I can't wait to see more of it Maybe have some rewards like some tcg for winning the game in the future?

[@LucyTheBox]

If you want to see more of this game, it's it's own standalone game "Blood on the Clocktower". You can search it on youtube and find tons of high quality videos of this game.

[@tobiasburke9495]

Just making sure you know that this isn't only Cleo's game! It's an independent game, but she is the first person (to my knowledge) that has played it in minecraft. It's made by the Pandemonium Institute, and other people have played it, so if you want extra content for this game, I highly recommend the many tens of hours of content on this game put out by No Rolls Barred! They actually have the primary storyteller in the Pandemonium Institute, so it makes the game quite easy to understand. It's always a blast, and there is loads of content to chew on, so give it a go!

[@christopherparkin7162]

@ZombieCleo The one potentially major slip up was forgetting Imp was posing was mayor, when you warned everyone the game would be lost if no one got executed Fabulous recovery though!!

[@ZombieCleo]

I laid out pretty much every possible combination of what would happen. If you're talking about 'You won't win if you don't execute somebody' That's pretty much generically true, if you don't execute you get no information.

[@StarInvasion999]

I'm so glad you brought two of my favourite things together - Hermitcraft and BOTC. I think you did a great job as storyteller considering the pressure you must have been under to introduce the game to the hermits and the audience and explain all the rules! I love that X tried to big brain the game but really screwed good by not contributing in the end 😂

[@justaloser101]

I loved this episode Cleo, it was great! You should definitely set up and host more games with other hermits as well. It would be fun to see what kind of bluffs Grian could pull.

[@mallratserf]

i cant believe xisuma got so far into the game despite being so confused and the fact that he was the one who almost got imp(ulse) executed in the end ??genius

[@johnoswald9143]

I don’t watch Cleo enough but this is a wonderful game and an excellent way to get the hermits making genuine off the cuff content. Bravo Cleo.

[@LucyTheBox]

54:14 don't worry, you followed the rules. Any role may pick dead players, unless the text says otherwise. The butler doesn't specify anything, so dead players are valid picks

[@evanneta172]

Impulse played this so so so well!!!

[@Toulou_]

this was a blast to watch as a fan of blood on the clocktower, good job running a solid game 54:12 It is fine for a butler to pick a dead player as they are still able to vote, if a butler lives very late in the game they might even want to choose a dead player who they trust on the final day since at that point it doesn't matter that they have just 1 vote
