theres a board game called the mind id love to see you guys play

[@The_Game_FACE]

Ben just had the BEST defense ever 😂

[@Zilong09]

Seriously what are the night orders for these scripts you guys play? Kinda useless to have them linked if we can't try them too.

[@warcraftlake7]

FYI. The phliosopher-athiest does work. Philosopher Almanac specifically states abilities that work while dead do work if the philosopher dies. so stuff like ravenkeeper, klutz, athiest, etc still work if the Philo is dead. I feel like ben hasn't re-read the new rules and doesn't know 100% how the characters are played now vs the first days of the game.

[@infernternety]

In a legion game if only legion votes is 0 votes. Why was it not called 0 when only Adam voted? That completely gave the game to evil.

[@CrowMercury]

Jon voting for himself in a possible Legion game was absolute proof Jon is the best evil player in all BOTC. Even when good.

[@Moleoflands]

I wad tearing my hair put. Ben was trying to help good by warning them not to kill themselves

[@kurobara3]

He also said this is either legion or atheist and then voted lauri even though adam was claiming good team even though there wouldnt be an evil twin in either game

[@Alwayz114]

I feel like Jon often makes some very good calls and some very bad calls, and the other good players need to reel him in. Unfortunately for him, in this game there were very few other good players, and most of them are also the "sit back and see how things go" type

[@Moleoflands]

​@@kurobara3 Yeah, based on his juggler info, Laurie was never Evil

Yeah, Jon is getting a lot of flack but Dom’s absurdly high fear of being Fang gu-jumped was equally responsible in Town’s defeat. And Tilly nominating herself in what she thinks is a Legion game is crazy.

[@MrDegan2]

@@arthursimsa9005 I mean Dom's was at least logical, it's day 1, there's no info (bar the chef) on what demon is in play and he's outed. Tilly trying to throw herself on the fire was bad but least it was a spent roll trying to save a info roll. Jon however just let himself get bogged down and ignored his own info (that Adam had lied to him in anything but an atheist game) in favour of acting on someone else's

[@enderhugo]

Btw Tilly was fantastic She got her information, figured out what it could mean, found Dom and trusted him, realized something was fishy with Adam's situation, trusted Laurie even though she usually doesn't - which means she trusted 2 off of the 3 total town characters - AND to top it off, she realized it was probably a legion game and offered herself to try and jump in front of the bullet for laurie

[@Moleoflands]

That was the incorrect reaction, but at least she was closer to actually saving this game. The only thing she could have done was nominate any legion and get the dead goods to use their ghost votes to save Jon.

[@KristoVaher]

No one - she included - actually trusted it being a legion game. They kept killing good guys intentionally, even offering themselves up :D I suppose they've not played many legion games. Voting was also not used for deduction.

[@callumcasey9156]

@@Moleoflands Honestly, considering Laurie was already on the block and was about to die, and without any other nominations, her jumping to take the bullet so Laurie could get more information like he was claiming might have been the best thing she could have done in a bad situation.

[@Ellie-rx3jt]

​@@callumcasey9156 Nominating Brooke would have been far better. Brooke was already being sussed as evil by then. Hell, she could even have nominated a dead body to get Laurie off the block. If every legion refuses to vote, meaning you can't tie it, you know pretty much for certain that you can mark them down as legion players and assume it's not an atheist game.

[@antiussentiment]

Plus 1 for Tilly fan club. Go listen to her POD cast.

[@schwenks]

Jon is the adult character in a kid's show/film who blindly trusts the bad guys and refuses to believe any evidence to the contrary. "Don't be silly Lil Laurie, Tiny Tilly, Diminutive Dom - there's no way that all our neighbours are part of a murder cult. In fact, they've invited me out to the woods tonight for a fancy dress party, you probably just saw them getting ready!"

[@platypus5146]

"What is this Neoliberal Bullshit"- Dom's performances on the block never fail to entertain

[@EpicElf42]

I knew from the moment Jon was left alone with 3 evil players that this game would go up in flames; Jon has a bad habit getting wrapped up in the whole conspiracy and this was a prime example. As soon as Laurie kicked the bucket, the only two people they had left were first nighters that would happily let themselves die. Fun game all around, loved watching the goodies unravel completely.

[@JasonJeffory]

Tilly being the only sensible one to call out that it’s a Legion game with an Atheist bluff. Is another reason why I love her! She’s the best. More of Tilly please!

[@Moleoflands]

Yeah inexperience meant she nominated wrong, but her thinking was accurate. The only thing she could have done was nominate a legion and beg both dead good players to use their ghost votes to tie the vote to stop Jon dying. But that's hard to realise as a player I think

[@Bobsbugur8140]

Tilly was absolutely brilliant this game. I could see the cogs turning behind her eyes the entire time. She should trust herself more.

[@Ions22]

Adam’s vote for Ben being announced as 1 rather than 0 has come up in a number of comments, so posting an explanation for visibility: A failed Legion vote only gets announced if there were enough votes for an execution. Longer explanation: There are two ways to run Legion votes: 1 - Failed votes are announced instantly. Example: You’re playing a 10 player game. 6 Legion players & no good players vote for Jack. The Storyteller instantly announces that this is not enough votes. 2 - Failed votes apply at the end of the day. Example: You’re playing a 10 player game. 6 Legion players & no good players vote for Jack. No other players get enough votes for an execution. At the end of the day, you announce that no one is executed. However, you never announce a failed vote unless there were enough votes for an execution. Otherwise, every game with Legion on the script could begin with each player nominating and being the only player to vote, with the Storyteller confirming every Legion instantly through their failed vote.

[@Moleoflands]

Take my vote. Hoping this is higher to stop the deluge of the 'Ben did it wrong' comments 😂

[@MajikkaniHand]

Commenting and voting up in the hopes it lifts this comment. I was side-eying that call, but now I know why it was made.

[@randrfan1]

Thank you for the explanation, I was super confused by that

[@alchemicpink2392]

Though on the second variant you still announce 0 votes after the fact just to be very clear why the vote failed, in case the town thinks you counted the Thief wrongly out loud or had an amnesiac who fucks with vote counts but still correctly did the end result math.

[@advictoriam3106]

Well, to be fair, if Ken had been a genuine Atheist, the Storytellers could have just lied to Jon about his juggling!

[@Funktaro5]

@@TheKatti5000 But if that's the case there's no evils. So he should really only be worrying about what if it's NOT an atheist game when deciding who dies. Also it makes the Laurie execution even worse because Laurie had a power that could absolutely help you figure out if it's an atheist game. That was SUCH a bad lynch, and the only reason it went through is because of course evil would be for it, and Jon gave them the one good vote they needed to hop on the bandwagon.

[@nickburose8286]

It was really interesting to see a legion game where legion was projecting suspicious town vibes.

[@Ruminations09]

@@101RadioheadCovers It's 6 evil vs 4 good, not 7 vs 3. And games like this might make Legion *seem* incredibly overpowered, but this game is not really representative of all Legion games. Evil were in complete control of the narrative from the very start in this game, but that could have crumbled very easily if any of the evil players ever mis-voted or if the good players ever truly trusted each other. There is another game with Legion on this very channel - and it was also 6 evil vs 4 good - but that game ended in a good victory. Legion are massively hindered by the fact that they NEED to vote with good. The moment a single member of the Legion votes when they shouldn't, good team have pretty much squared away the victory. Dom even mentioned doing a test vote prove whether or not it was Legion game, but they never actually followed through with that.

Atheist is a very advanced character especially if the story teller is experienced well, and I think this group wasn't ready for it. A good storyteller would never give this many hints (especially a math FIVE, and "Trust Adam") on just the 3rd day if it was an atheist game. That being said, the person who has played the least games here, Tilly did a great job. Can't wait for an actual atheist game to see more chaos.

[@andsailedcalmlyon]

I think that's part of becoming a more experienced group, though! The more potential atheist games you play, the better you'll get at recognizing what is and isn't plausible. And a couple of times people did say "it almost seems *too* much like an atheist game!" so it's not like the thought didn't occur to people- they just didn't follow it up. But I bet next time they have an atheist on the script, they'll give it more weight and attention because they'll remember that this time they didn't and they should have.

Great to see the NRB gang once again playing Blood on the Clocktower in person. Always fun to watch Ben as storyteller.

[@happenable]

Jon beleiving that its Legion game and then dissing one of the best (and in this case the Only) information role as "not that good" without anyone debating it, totally wound me up.

[@Moleoflands]

Also his info hard cleared Laurie of being evil in any world except a world where Jon is drunk or poisoned and Ben is a bastard with his info

[@andsailedcalmlyon]

Yeah, the lack of people pointing out "It could be Legion, so we shouldn't kill good players" was probably the biggest evidence that it was Legion!

[@brandonvangieson8087]

Watched this on the Kickstarter, just here to like and comment for the algorithm. This was a stonker of a game too SPOILERS Maybe one of the most dominating evil team performances ever. There was a few errors in judgment on good (Savant isn't that useful Jon WTF?), but between Ken, Adam, and Carley they really layed out the whole game within the first few minutes of Day 1. Entertaining as hell as always.

[@JCPRuckus]

I'm completely on the opposite end. Good had a rule misunderstanding (Dom's bad call on what "3 pairs" could mean), and happily threw themselves into the woodchipper in a possible Legion game. I can't watch a game that badly misplayed and call it good. I only watch the in person games. So this being the last one for a while is a said end to the series.

[@KyrieFortune]

​@@JCPRuckus ​ agreed, it was painful to see everyone but the newbie (Tilly) realize this was likely a Legion game and execute themselves - if Jon hadn't voted for himself, they would have outed three characters as Legion, CONFIRMING it was a Legion game and giving good a serious chance at winning

[@justinehercthehuman]

Just love how at Day 2, all the remaining good players nominate themselves 😭. Jon nominates Laurie and vice versa, and then there is suicidal Tilly. ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

[@TBLIVIN]

Tilly was right to do so though, imo. She recognized Laurie was worth more than her. I guess she probably could have nominated a legion but they would have had a LOT of backing on the stand and she's new.

[@appleseiter15]

I’m convinced Jon needs to pull a George Costanza and do the opposite of whatever his instincts tell him.

[@FinalGurr]

I think this has now been the absolutely most frustrating game I have ever watched of BotC, NRB or otherwise. I cannot believe how easily Good served themselves on a silver platter to die. If Jon had just not raised his hand... I'm actually LIVID. But also just disappointed because I really want to see Laurie win finally

To be clear, still enjoyable to watch, but just so frustrating 😅

Anyone confused on why they never killed Ken? He seemed like he was a safe kill through the entire game.

[@Moleoflands]

Or Adam. Since Adam was either a back up atheist or lying

[@Ellie-rx3jt]

Literally none of the execution decisions made sense in this game

[@TevanBalian]

They had the votes to make ken the first kill or at least put him on the block, but Ben didn’t see that Tilly had her hand up so it was called a tie. Then they killed dom for the bit lol

[@videk_online]

Ben should have announced 0 votes when only Adam voted on him.

[@gabthang8]

They only announced 0 votes if there’s enough votes to cause a player to be executed. So only one legion voting won’t do anything, but if an execution needs 3 votes to go through, if all 3 (or more) votes from Legion and no one else, then that’s when 0 votes will be announced.

[@CrowMercury]

To be honest I’m always confused how Ben rules Legion. The wiki and the token don’t talk about extra bluffs, nor this rule. You count vote as normal but there is a token reminding you the person on the block will not get executed in the apps. So most people just continue the game and then announce a failed execution, thus giving away Legion.

[@andsailedcalmlyon]

If you did that, it would make it way too hard for Legion. All you'd have to do is over the first couple days go around the circle nominating everyone and having only one person vote each time. One, you're confirmed good, zero, you're confirmed Legion (and if you refuse to do so, obviously you're Legion!) The very first zero confirms it's a Legion game, if you get all ones, confirmed not a Legion game and you move on to the other options. It also makes every good person's power totally pointless in a Legion game, because none of it would matter. You might as well just not have Legion at all.

[@mohawkbandito902]

@@gabthang8 Then it makes Ben wrong 1:32:16 when he said "If only Legion votes, then I will say zero votes for Jon." That's not how that works. But then again, 6 bluffs isn't how Legion works either. So it's funny to start this game off with "Well, the storyteller can't do whatever they want. We have to abide by the rules."

[@gabthang8]

@@mohawkbandito902 Legion is allowed to get more than 3 bluffs because a core mechanic is that the starting demon gets 3 bluffs. There is no rule saying that every starting demon gets the same 3 bluffs. In more experienced groups, typically the ST gives the same 3 bluffs to all Legion or change out one of the bluffs to half of the legion, but this group isn’t the most experienced outside of really Carley and Mara who play the game quite a bit outside of NRB. And I will agree that the way that Legion is spoken about is weird, but the token says “Executions fail if only Legion voted” which I feel is the best way to explain it. Not all storytellers count votes, some just say if a vote is passed or not. So I think it’s easier to explain legion as an execution cannot be passed if only legion voted on it, instead of the 0 votes thing.
