UK Games Expo 2020 - Trouble Brewing

[@Newton2801]

Well played Ben. Was really interesting watching you play instead of ST

[@mosessimon4170]

What absolute stellar play by Ben. #holysheet

[@GrayCarper]

Catching up on streams from days gone by today and I just wanted to say that Ben put on an absolute masterclass in playing the Demon here. So impressive, and such a joy to behold. Extremely belated congratulations, Ben!

[@NafenX]

Oooh, first time seeing player perspective!

[@TheAngelScorn]

Masterful Imp/UT bluff play!

[@tappy8741]

I'm gonna make some timed predictions/suggestions here just because I wasn't there for the live chat and it seems fun. And It'll be interesting to see how bad my logic is. Spoilers 17:30 - Aggie appears to be empath because she was super into talking to neighbours. Given bad info because they were poisoned, probably given a 2 because Aggie was being very cagey with ben. Jimmy may have made her think she was poisoned so suspicions may have died down. She should die next as we can't guarantee that she'd be poisoned tonight. 50:00 - Just enable nightmare mode by killing tilly. Try to win a no minion dozen player game. 1:52:00 - It would be sweet if the mayor was drunk, the town went with a mayor win and lost because of it.

Thanks for this, what an awesome game! I hope you carry on with these streams even when you’re allowed to play in person again. Ben, if you ever see this, are you planning on running beginner games at all?

[@BloodontheClocktower]

Hey, thanks for the comment. There currently aren't any plans to scale back these streams once in-person games start again. As far as beginner-games go, do you mean for on stream or in general? - Evin

[@electra3162]

@@BloodontheClocktower thanks for the quick reply! Great to hear that you’re going to continue to stream. As for beginner games, I meant in general, not on stream. I’d love to play some games but would absolutely get rolled by the really experienced players hahaha! I know a few of us came over from NRB so I think there’d be a good group of beginners who’d want to play 😊

[@BloodontheClocktower]

Probably the best place to get started, if you're willing to try online games, is the 'Unofficial' fan-run BOTC Discord server. They're a great crowd in there and often have games for new players: discord.gg/kjHk4kT Alternatively, if you're in a place where lockdowns are ending and we have a prototype nearby, you might be able to try a live game. And, of course, by the end of the year everyone will have their physical copies: bloodontheclocktower.com/play - Evin

I love the fake night time chat Ben comes up with, in the moment! What a brilliant bullshitter. I agree that you can never nail down the intentions: "Why are they still alive?" "So you would ask just that... maybe."

[@Jubei66666]

Ben is an evil genius.

[@john-michaelkirkconnell]

If those are bad bluffs for the demon, which roles are good bluffs?

[@GG-dt5hh]

John-Michael Kirkconnell Those are bad bluffs because they’re people that either, should normally die in the night, or are safe town executions. For example, the Chef only gets info on the first night, so there’s no real negative to the town killing him, if, for example, he’s double claimed. Meanwhile the Undertaker is a REALLY powerful role. So much so, that the Demon is almost certainly going to try and kill them. If the supposed Undertaker then goes on to survive, they will be very suspicious. That’s also why Ben spent a lot of the game trying to give info through other people, to avoid publicly claiming Undertaker. If he’d done that, and gone on to survive the night, unless a Monk vouched for him, he’d be practically confirmed as evil. Good bluffs are things like Recluse, who will sow discord on all info gained on them, Ravenkeeper, who has a reason for the demon not to be killing them, and ideally wants to die at night, so won’t be executed during the day, or the Mayor, who’s ability explains why he doesn’t die at night, and isn’t someone the Town want to execute, as he can win them the game at the end.

[@GG-dt5hh]

Blood on the Clocktower That’s really high praise, thanks! I just picked it up from watching, so I guess I learnt from the best. Loving both these uploads and the streams. Thanks for keeping the content coming even with everything going on.

[@AlexH274]

How does one get in on these games? Is there a patreon?

[@bradenmiller7270]

The unofficial discord server is a good place to start. You can find many games there.

[@nnjthewho]

I am really enjoying this game with friends online. The clocktower.online site is great! How can I join the games on the discord server? I see games going on there, but I don't know how to approach them. Love this channel, Thanks!
