[@whocares2277]

55 minute video: "Oh, this is a short game" I underestimated how short.

[@LemonStir]

You underestimated how many games there were too!

[@chaoticsamio]

i see this is the game with the “shugenja” in it. sneaky sneaky ben

[@TorIverWilhelmsen]

Well, the first game's Amni had a near-Shugenja experience.

[@magnus0017]

Ben: six outsiders in a 12 player game is a terrible idea, dont do this. It wont be fun for anyone. Ben twenty minutes later: Hold my beer.

[@thesharkfinnigan]

I can’t stop laughing, these games were hilarious. Cannot believe back to back.

[@breazybear]

"I think I have to do everything in my power to help the evil team" Ben every game

[@Yoanka]

55 minutes is a short video for one game, but earing a rerack mid-video left me in awe at this script's chaos. Though I expected a Damsel guess to close out the second one.

[@aaronfidelis3188]

Lost the game: Godfather MVP: Also Godfather

[@q-tuber7034]

When the only way to save the evil team from itself is to let the Recluse cut the game even shorter with a Damsel guess…

[@Hyliare_aud]

I am a simple woman. I see Ben ST, I see patters playing, I see evil Reznora, I press the Like button.

[@tytool2385]

If I had a nickle for every time the Fang Gu & the Godfather targeted the same person on night 2 I would have 2 nickles which isnt a lot but its wiered that it happened twice

[@Coldheart322]

In a row. I've seen an Assassin kill the Feng Gu after a swap as well. Feng Gu's with killer minions really should coordinate better.

[@theprinceofawesomeness]

Milk started as the Fang Gu and ended as the Fang Gu. It's like poetry, it rhymes

[@miguel7888]

55 minutes of this bloke punching snakes

[@Paint_The_Future]

I call this move the "Klutzerfather."

[@TrippyHippyFrog5]

Patters' breakdown at the end was great!

[@alchemicpink2392]

Both of these come very close to Isaac's lifting Pit-Hagging up to an art form

[@calamitycodified]

These are without a doubt the funniest games of Blood on the Clocktower I have ever seen.

[@Klondike1000]

Hilarious! Two godfather snipes in a row, amazing. Wow, these were some truly fun games to watch.

[@SharienGaming]

the best thing about the second one was that patters was in the same chat with his demon when they learned that milk was the plague ducktor - so he coulda seen this coming XD

[@katherinek6166]

Technically, if a Recluse claims Minion and correctly guesses the Damsel, the ST has full right to just hand the evil team the win, don't they? That would be hilarious. Extremely mean, but hilarious.

[@mmrow1634]

They can't "burn" the Minion guess and not lose. Either it's not a Minion and doesn't trigger the loss, or it is a Minion and they do trigger it.@@TheFinalChapters

[@darbyl3872]

​@@TheFinalChapters I don't think it should definitely do a thing, or not do it. I see your point, but you never know if people are just bluffing to throw off players, or seriously making a move to accomplish something, or for laughs, or x, or y, or z.

[@darbyl3872]

@@TheFinalChapters Wrong, or hoping the ST does something you want to happen, like burn the minion guess. There are very few absolutes when the ST has discretion granted by the rules. The context is important, like a Hail Mary situation, or the other team has several lucky snipes, etc. etc.

[@darbyl3872]

@@TheFinalChapters I understood you the first time. Your argument is weak, IMO. MMROW's statement makes sense. If registered as a minion, it does give evil the win, per the rules. After that, the argument about "should" this or that doesn't hold much water, IMO.

[@bennytyty]

​@@TheFinalChapters Darby and mmrow are both right here. You'd be fully within your rights as an ST to end the game. Or you're fully fine to leave it. The guess is not burned, there is no way to "burn it." Four people have said to you now that it's not burned. Outside of that it's just taste as to what makes a fun game.

[@Aschilon]

I think we learned today why a godfather and fang gu shouldn't be on the same script.

[@sofiipote7]

*should

[@Lunaraia]

@@sofiipote7 there are no problems with that, PROVIDED the snake charmer isn't in the mix and you keep the minions in the loop.

[@hypoaktivnaovca]

Magician is also on this script ... 😅

[@MalakaiSilverWolf]

I mean tbf, the chances of that happening are pretty low, and can also be avoided with proper evil communication.

[@switters8679]

Yes of course. Change the rules instead of learning from your mistakes. That is clearly the way. What a bellend.

[@ZekeBittersweet]

This is the height of comedy

[@shotosynthesis312]

Incredibly disappointed Ben didn't have all the outsiders and a virgin in for the second game

[@Tribdinosaur]

This was extremely entertaining thank you I don't think I've ever seen this kind and level of emotion from Patterz before heeheee hoohoo

[@RecallKnowledge]

I hear that Evil Steve guy is pretty evil

[@WolfOfLegend]

I don't know, his script seems to make the evil team consistently implode. He might be a double agent

[@AdamjacobiGIA]

This is an absolute minefield for evil, incredible

[@Tribdinosaur]

I'm returning for my monthly viewing of this episode, and it's still hilarious and wacky. From the secret votes, to the character jumpings, to the multitude of gossips, to the wild private conversations... what a fun time.

[@piratechauvelin]

Love getting new BOTC notifications

[@hukoseft]

Should've just had the recluse register as a minion choosing the damsel

[@buckcherry2564]

woo, new BOTC EDIT: THAT WAS GOLD!!!

[@chris5632]

Patters is gonna have a brain aneurysm lol

[@ribbonquest]

I love seeing just how short and stupid a game of Clocktower can be. Most of the YT worthy ones are so dang tense.

[@ValHyde72]

It's a fine amne ability but god if Ben makes abilities that are impossible to guess

[@aGoshDarnTravesty]

Most players are also just really bad at making guesses. They need to be more broad and ask questions that eliminate around half the possible worlds each time. Asking something like "Does my ability tell me if the starting demon is next to one of their minions" is incredibly specific, compared to something broad "Does my ability relate to the position of players?"

[@Ellie-rx3jt]

​​@@aGoshDarnTravesty If you assume a game going around 5 days (with no guarantee that the amne makes it to final three) and with an ability that only gives you one piece of information, you're pretty unlikely to get a bingo using that method. In this case, getting a warm on "position of players/characters" still puts you at least two, and more likely three, correct steps away from useful information. Because until you work out that it's "evil player" and "clockwise from me" (and you risk spending an extra day asking if it's "next to me" once you've worked out it's positional relative to you) you're most likely dead.

[@cooljaedan]

reeeally good one

[@rosey9238]

this is the best script in the world

[@tremkl]

Not that this would be a good idea, but you could have given evil a day 1 victory when the Recluse guessed the Damsel. 😂

[@nathanswanson1955]

I mean hey it happens and its the most hilarious thing XD

[@myohel0]

re: Patters's Plague Doctor rage And then he proceeded to give himself three minion abilities the first time the PD dies in a non-Atheist game :P

[@sukritact]

Where's this? XD

[@Moleoflands]

Madness

[@b_z5571]

How just…how

[@darbyl3872]

I would like to know how TPI advises on running the Barber swap. Is it officially ruled to happen after the demon kills, even when the Barber is executed. I know that some STs let it happen first thing after execution.

[@DragonfoxShadow]

I think Ben said it once on different channel's stream, as a guest ST. And as a guest ST he is running everything by the night order, including Barber. And Barber has its place in night order, so swap is there

[@MalakaiSilverWolf]

@@DragonfoxShadow But also night order is a suggestion that STs do not have to follow to heart. I usually mix the night order up but group abilities together in the general way: Special Cases, Poisonings, Drunkness, Protectors, Demons, Minion killings, Minions others, Everyone else. In general, as long as you do Droisonings, Protection, killings, then everyone else, you should be good to run a fun game still and to have players not meta what is in play just by waking order :3

[@Miraxik]

​@@MalakaiSilverWolfas long as you remember the minion order when a pit-hag makes a witch 😉

[@Miraxik]

It's not an official ruling, but I run it in the night order position, so it's not obvious if the barber was the person who got executed or the one they've just killed at night.

[@acerumble4991]

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

[@thelaughingman5730]

i would've put the virgin in. with that many non-townsfolk characters, the probability that virgin procs is low, so your trying to work out why it didnt

[@adventuregameshowgeek]

General mechanics question: How would you negotiate a situation where a Alchemist with the Fearmonger ability selected and successfully executed a Goblin who'd claimed it? Which team would win? Is there a standard rule of thumb for situations like this or would it be a perfect tie?

[@mmrow1634]

Evil wins because of the Goblin. Evil loses because of the Alchemist-Fearmonger. This is a tie, and Good wins ties, so Good wins the game overall.

[@adventuregameshowgeek]

@@mmrow1634 Thank you! I'd forgotten Good wins ties!

[@Miraxik]

The rule of thumb is that good wins ties 👍

[@Steev42]

wow.

[@benchristenson2280]
