I imagine that us youtube people are missing out on a lot of short but exciting kill-the-saint-day-one type games from the stream, as they don't make for good longform youtube content. It would be sweet to one day see a complication video that includes some of the best day-one/two wins from past streams.

[@thaddeusarden2189]

I agree! I really want to see some night 1 snake charm content but nobody uploads any. It just has a fun chaotic energy that I need some more of.

[@Crimson_Rogue97]

@@thaddeusarden2189 There's definitely one out there on the Demon Bluffs channel

[@gtplayzz5087]

Yes please

[@couchpot1298]

i haven't laughed harder in a long time than when jams said, "omg you're the pit hag? cAN I BE THE GOOD DA??"

[@couchpot1298]

that entire conversation was legendary

[@danw91]

oh god that patters uno reverse card was insane

[@gaymedievaldruid]

From this title I hypothesise that either the evil team did something INCREDIBLY devious and utterly swept, or someone was pedantic about being accused and started a debate.

[@DyrianLightbringer]

When Patters created a good-aligned Evil Twin, Ben actually should have told Patters that Alex is his twin. That's part of the twin ability and why Patters asked Ben if he should have told him something when they were in private chat the next day. Ben just assumed that Patters knew Alex changed, but if there had been a Minstrel in play, the change wouldn't have happened, so Patters wouldn't have known, although Jamie's death confirmed there was no Minstrel. Still, Ben should have been sure Alex's twin player was aware that they are indeed a twin player.

[@UnhallowedEssence]

I don't know how, but Skilz social reads are always on point. I can only imagine being on the evil team against skilz and edd, how stressful it would be.

[@q-tuber7034]

Skilz’s intuition does seem uncanny. As much as anything else, I think he is reading the Storyteller.

[@tammyboy2084]

Yeah, I think killing the snake charmer in a twin situation is a good thing. I’ve been in two twin games where the demon got charmed early (and I was the former demon in the first one), and it was all over in two or three executions.

[@ribbonquest]

Patters plays like he's on a single player team.

[@j.r.cilliangreen4083]

GOT MY COPY TODAY AND IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@q-tuber7034]

Same!

[@omegonchris]

Received my copy a day or two before watching this, I entirely understand Grolen's excitement

[@Steev42]

(~33:00)In a good evil twin situation; by the wording of the role, wouldn't it still mean evil would win if the good player was executed? So if Patters got executed, no problems, since he's the evil player. Right? Edit, and confirmed at 52:30. Thanks!

[@Aus10Gr8]

MORE BLOOD ON THAT PESKY CLOCKTOWER

[@half55-qo1tq]

1:17:13 Yes, a good twin would definitely break a tie on themselves

[@GordonHugenay]

Ben should have informed Patters he's the evil good twin, right?

[@patters]

Technically yes, but I was pretty sure that was already going to be the case.

[@SharienGaming]

wow - that juggler 4 is actually crazy powerful in this situation, because it allows to deduce that alejo is guaranteed to be evil out of the 5 people juggled one person is evil that means the remaining 7 have 2 evils 1 of those 7 is the juggler themselves - 2 of them are the grandmother paid and 1 died in night 1 that leaves 3 people to assign 2 evils to... alex, patters and alejo and 2 of those are in an evil twin pair and so have to be opposing alignments ergo - alejo is evil that also allows the deduction that the demon is one of the 5 people juggled

[@Moleoflands]

That juggle won the game

[@thelaughingman5730]

wow... a "good evil-twin". not seen this one out in the wild before... happened to me tho few months back

[@mosessimon4170]

It's just something I notice, but whenever Patters plays loud and rowdy, he's evil. It's like his tell tale?

[@truemajority]

Lol that's always patters - good or evil

[@aperson6389]

"Brewing for Beginners"

[@q-tuber7034]

Most improperly named script?

[@Sgrand80]

It is pretty good for beginners. It does not mean that pros can't make it more entertaining. Like any other game :)

[@DyrianLightbringer]

Just going to say, Patters was probably the best player on the good team that game! Seriously, what were those P-H choices, and that whole Twin claim in the beginning? I honestly think Patters doesn't play to win, but just tries to make as much chaos as possible.

[@DUDEMIKE8]

Any idea where we can get the Discord bot with all those options (e.g., Al-Hadhikia, Fearmonger, Timer, Follow/Unfollow Player, etc.)?

[@Pauavi]

pretty sure it was specifically coded for the official server

[@clpearson991]

so hypothetically you could create a good demon and good minions vs evil demon and evil minions?

[@BloodontheClocktower]

You can, but evil would almost certainly lose that fight. - Ben

[@Kollider115]

Explain to me why people all juggle and gamble if it’s not them?

[@BloodontheClocktower]

People will often bluff Juggler, Gossip, or any role that makes a public statement as part of its ability, so that the demon doesn't know who the real Juggler/Gossip/etc is. If only one person juggles or gossips, then the demon can deny that person their info by killing them that night. Even the evil team will get in on this, as they want to appear to be helpful to the good team. - Evin

[@darbyl3872]

Virgin token: says nothing about nominating their self. Does it go through?

[@Sgrand80]

Yes, if the Virgin nominate themselves they will be executed.

[@darbyl3872]

@@Sgrand80 I thought so. It doesn't seem like the best use of the ability, but I just saw someone do it, anyway.

[@lexsellsmerch3512]

Got my physical copy the other day. Ran a test game of Trouble Brewing with 4 players. Imp, Soldier, Empath, Chef and Scarlet Woman was the orientation of town square from left to right going around the circle. Empath gets a 0 night 1 and Chef gets a 1. Day 1, Soldier convinces everyone to Hard Claim roles publicly…. Imp claiming Virgin made it to final day against the Soldier who (obviously) didn’t die when they nominated the Demon. And was promptly executed. I couldn’t believe everyone just sat in town square and was like… yeah this is who I am and what my information is
