Carley as the damsel: “Call an Ambulance!” Carley shortly after: “But not for me”

[@WaterDroplet02]

it's quite poetic how Carley went from being the lowly, scared Damsel-in-Distress, hiding from the evil team, to ending the game as the criminal mastermind Poisoner in charge of said team and, additionally, the whole game

[@lukehb]

Carley -- Solves the game pretty much immediately, and has basically all of the information necessary to win for the good team team Also Carley -- finds her huntsman, in maybe the most wholesome moment in this game's history, a moment that gave me all the feels, gets rescued, and becomes a snake charmer Also Carley -- Figures out who the most likely minion is to be holding baby monster, has no reason to risk picking them, and still leaves her decision to the roll of a dice, because, lets be honest, she always wanted to win for evil... even though it clearly puts them in an unwindable situation Also Carley -- becomes evil, and even though this immediately exposes everything about the evil team, and with no ability to lean on the other minions, still somehow manages to get the boomdandy executed, and talks everyone in to voting but anyone but her, and functionally single handedly wins it for evil. AKA... Carley puts on a masterclass, and proves she's way too good for the rest of this group.

[@kajava5564]

I agree with you, but... I think Carley should have poisoned Dom instead of Dakota. Having the town killing Dom was clearly simpler than defending herself. And poisoning Dom could not failed her. Or they execute him (as they did) and she will have directly won. Or they would not execute him, and she will have to convince them (as she had to do).

[@L2Sentinel]

@@kajava5564 That's true! Not to take anything away from Carley, because she's amazing, but that would have been a more optimal move. It also would have been such a troll for the Good Team if Ben ended the game after Dom's execution, only to congratulate the Evil Team. They'd have no idea how that happened. But it was fun to see the group panic in their final 60 seconds, so either way it was great content. Carley's play was still brilliant, the Good Team was still completely bamboozled, and it just shows that Carley is human. A remarkably impressive player, content gold, but not a robot.

[@Firglin]

49:48 "Angela, are you the huntsman?" is like the NRB-plays-BotC-equivalent of the climax of a romantic movie's "do you love me?". Just moments before Carly asks it you can see her picking herself up ready to pop the question, "Ok....". The tension rises, the audience shifts to the front of their seats shouting "ASK HER, ASK HER, DO IT!". "Are you the huntsman?". Angela at first reluctant to have her feelings hurt doesn't answer straight away but then realises she wants this too. "Do you love me too?". "I do". FIREWORKS!!!!!!@#!@#$!@#

Not only to keep Carly alive, but to make her the Snake Charmer just in case she wanted to join the evil side.

[@elliottbarker1595]

You're absolutely correct in all of this comment, but I think it's worth pointing out one thing with the Carley/Damsel interaction is that Ben had said he wanted to kill Carley, but still accepted Angela's Huntsman use on Carley. Huntsman cannot choose a dead player, so by accepting it, he had already locked in Carley not dying in a mechanical way, since Huntsman acts after Lil' Monsta would have killed her. No shade, just an observation.

[@grunthex3090]

I'm pouring one out for Jon G on this game. Has a good evil game going, and gets blind snake-charmed on the first opportunity. Then outs all the evil info, and is believed, and Carley STILL steals the game from him!

[@thewriter8762]

It’s sad cuz I kept thinking “when are they gonna realize that Carley never really had a good claim.” Ik I am coming from a top down view of the situation, but isn’t it crazy to just assume, “oh Carley is good” after they found out that she changed roles? At the end of the day, I think they’d do better than me cuz my intuition is shot to hell

[@dhokha100]

its more of a luke fault i think he is the one who thought he was drunk and got all the possible configuration which is not possible being a drunk

[@dhokha100]

@1D1-Myke so you are saying a drunk player can receive correct info

[@landofmalvora]

@@dhokha100 The only way players cannot receive correct info is by way of an ability that forces "false information", i.e. Vortox ("Townsfolk abilities yield false information.") Drunkenness and poison, as well as being the Drunk or the Marionette, just means your ability doesn't work - mechanical abilities straight up don't function and informational abilities receive arbitrary information, which may be true or false at the whims of the storyteller.

[@ttt3142]

It’s easy to judge from a position of perfect information, but I don’t really fault the players for it in any way. It’s a lie, yes, but it’s lie seasoned with a truth that everyone around the circle already clearly believed (that there was a Damsel and Huntsman in play).

She's already the best player, don't know why Ben gave her such a lay up. Provably Good, turned Snake Charmer, turned Demon. Impossible to lose.

[@Ruminations09]

@@RenewedRS First of all, roles are assigned randomly - Ben didn't *give* her Damsel, she just got it by chance. However, what *isn't* assigned randomly is how misfires happen - that is decided by the Storytellers. And it's precisely because Carely got the Damsel that Ben and Tom choose to have her ping as evil to Issac. In addition, she was not "provably good", she was just "provably the Damsel". Issac was actually the Drunk, not the Bounty Hunter, but if Issac *wasn't* Drunk, then one role that is normally good would have been aligned for evil instead.

[@RenewedRS]

@@Ruminations09 FiRsT oF aLl you're just leaving out the part where the ST decides the Damsel's new Townsfolk role? Ben and Adam have said that they've handcrafted games around a certain player being a certain character at times in this series so your entire comment was without substance.

[@Ruminations09]

@@RenewedRS Oh, you're complaining that she was given Snake Charmer, not that she was given Damsel? Well that's easy to address: she was given Snake Charmer because 3 different players had already expressed suspicion that she was the Snake Charmer (Issac, Adam, and Jon). In fact, Adam hard-accused Carley of being the Snake Charmer. For the Storytellers to choose anyone else EXCEPT Snake Charmer would have completely given the game away. Also, I have no idea what you're talking about with that second sentence. They do choose who the Good Twin is in games where there's an Evil Twin and they have talked about how they intentionally choose the Good Twin to be someone who would pair well with the Evil Twin, so maybe you misunderstood that as them saying they select the roles themselves for the players? Cause otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about.

@@Ruminations09 you're the only one complaining here lol I'm not reading that wall of text either

[@justinehercthehuman]

OH GOD. This is the best game yet so far. So many twists and turns. The part where the Damsel and Huntsman were in the same room had me at the edge of my seat. This could literally be a good movie of a Huntsman tasked by a rich dude to find his daughter, the Damsel, and save her only for her to betray him by actually being a Snake Charmer that killed the old Poisoner taking his power. It even explains the Damsel's reason for running away from her family in the first place. AMAZING GAMEPLAY!

[@patrickhohmeyer7416]

@@preppen78 I agree. And I think in this game especially, Carley should have lost. She did not immediately tell Angela her new role, despite Angela being 100% confirmed Huntsman after Carley changed. That should have raised a yellow flag if Angela were more experienced. Worse, Angela even casually mentioned it to the group and no-one picked up on that. Also, Carley mentioned that she did not want to turn Evil - but in a little monster game, there is little incentive to snake charm until the final night, unless you want to turn Evil. As previous snake charm information is immediately outdated.

[@meko750]

It was really funny when Dakota said “we don’t win this on information anymore” when all the information they needed was staring them in the face. If they listened to Isaac, Carley should’ve died, and if they realized he was drunk and Luke wasn’t, Carley still should’ve died because Luke’s empath makes it clear that Carley’s the new evil. They just didn’t consider their options well enough.

[@pinacosaure]

Feels like no one actually reads the scripts sometimes not gonna lie.

[@idman4081]

@@meko750 I think the nail in the coffin was that the Luke himself was sowing doubt about his own information to everyone else. He was so convinced he was drunk that he told everyone not to listen to him, setting him up as unreliable if he's good, and also setting him up as a potential bad guy trying to hide behind a drunk claim. From our perspective knowing everything, it feels like it should be obvious to investigate all leads, but to them the case was all but solved.

[@jaredthompson4901]

It probably would have eventually, but they chased down what they thought were more probable leads first. For her to have been evil they would’ve had to be able to confirm which nights the empath were poisoned, that the drunk, bounty hunter who should be wrong was actually right, and that Carly sniped the demon in a single round. Not impossible to figure out as they did have all the information they needed, but much harder to source through, then the empath claiming drunk or the actually drunk bounty Hunter that conflicts with everyone.

When are we going to get a reunion episode? I would love to see the group reacting to clips from throughout this series.

What. A. Game. Brilliant script, brilliant play, brilliant content. I love the Alchemist/Goblin combo so much.

[@alharron2145]

Oooooooh yes, here we go! EDIT: Wow, I really don't want to spoil anything, but that was well worth the wait. Everyone did really well, some really heartwarming moments & utterly devastating betrayals, marvellously astute deductions & magnificent leaps of faith. What a roller-coaster, & a round of applause for the storytellers keeping everything from going off the rails as such a complex script so easily could.

[@chocobosage]

Can't believe they never questioed Carley when they knew the Damsel changes roles lol.

[@readysetpanic]

Right? Or did they just kind of forget that happens or something.

[@cwb1130]

I cant believe they all just bought Carley's claim that she magically was able to guess her Amnesiac power on her 2nd try. How convenient!

[@angusmacintyre2414]

When I watched the script reveal, I was terrified of the possibilities. But never in my wildest fever-dreams could I have imagined such an irresistible thrill-ride as this game turned out to be. Seemingly terrible decisions rescued with moments of accidental genius. The twists and betrayals. The emotions. Epic seems woefully inadequate, but I simply can't find a better word to describe what you wonderful maniacs have created here together. Thank you.

[@MarkChimes]

That was the greatest game of Blood on the Clocktower I have ever witnessed! So many crazy plays and good gambles and tiny chances and great picks! What an amazing script and an absolutely INSANE game! I loved every moment of this video.

best session in the series so far by a country mile

One of the best episodes, if not the best, in the series. The twists. I was laughing so hard I was crying. GG. Carley MVP.

Best Xmas gift a guy could ask for. 3 hours or banter, chaos, intrigue and lies. Evening plans sorted.

[@starace4031]

Carley once again proving that she is truly incredible at this game. She had everyone so bamboozled that they barely questioned her at all with her amnesiac claim, even though like she said there were clues that she was lying plus the good team forgot/didn't figure out that she could have easily changed into the snakecharmer. Such a rollercoaster of emotions in this game. The good team had it in their grasp and yet they were their undoing. 😅 Loved this custom script, a well deserved winner, and hope that they play it again in the future. Also awesome to see Dakota on the team! 😊 She was a great experienced player that like Carley has useful insight into the game and its roles.

Finally played a Blood on the Clock Tower game on the unofficial discord. It was so fun. I was a slayer and I didnt know what character to bluff as because it was my first game. So an evil tried to vote me, I used my power, and was able to confirm one player as not the demon. Which the player became one of the last 3 players left. The funny thing was the 2 minions bluffed the same role, as Mayor. And got themselves lynched consecutively. So yeah it was very fun. Thanks Adam and the NRB fam for introducing me to this game.

Absolutely loved having Dakota on here. I may be baised because she's my sister. Would love to see her back soon.

[@commander-fox-q7573]

Lol even though it didn’t end up affecting the rest of the game all that much, her play to stay mad as the philosopher while also implanting the idea in sully’s head that that doesn’t mean he shouldn’t trust her was a bit of underrated genius ngl

[@bitscholar577]

Carley's ability to turn a bad situation into a win is legitimately terrifying.

[@arthursimsa9005]

She barely did anything though.

[@bitscholar577]

@@arthursimsa9005 I disagree. She was the focal point of the narrative that deflected from her, pinned Issac, and pitted Luke and Dakota against each other. Aside from that, the group had all the information they needed in order to sus out that Carley was the new demon. She was able to construct a perfectly convincing narrative (despite some fairly large plot holes) that everyone accepted right away. She even said that she has changed roles while the group was looking for someone who changed roles. Adam said it best, by that point, it was all on Carley.
