I signed up for the discord, and as someone with really bad social phobia I instantly started sweating bullets like I was smuggling stuff through the border. I’m coming back soon but props to everyone with the guts to not only do this but all be recorded😃

[@sofiipote7]

same

[@MKisFeelinSpicy]

Also same. I played several times on the server but never really started to feel comfortable. I think it's the most social game I've ever played, even among other social deduction games.

[@sofiipote7]

I'd say we should do games for socially anxious people, but none of us would show up

[@TheDarksaphira]

I know exactly how you feel! I am not (yet?) on the TPI server, but on a different one, with the express goal to one day daring to play a game myself. I have, so far, been to anxious to actually try, especially on a stream, even if it is expressly a beginner friendly game. I am so afraid of embarassing myself and somehow getting it immortalized on their Yotube that I just don't dare. So, for now I am not doing any of that yet and restrict myself to watching. Hoping that one day the idea of actually playing will not cause a anxious knot in me... or that I will be able to push through it and see that no one will eat me for being potentially bad at a game I've never played before.

SPOILERS wow this game was a shocking reveal, well played Nicky. Massive stroke of luck aswell but thats how it is sometimes. Also glad to see you back:)

Thank you so much for putting spoilers, you are the best.

I glanced at the thumbnail and the role looked red out of the corner of my eye. Dang that role is more powerful than I thought.

Minor spoilers: Perfect time to kill the mutant imo.

[@jameswaumsley7701]

JC here - thank you! The Mutant is my favourite character, but it's because it's about having to hide or a bad thing happens. So often I see people interpret it like the outsider version of the Virgin, and there's a key difference for me, and it's all down to that "might" word. As a Storyteller I firmly believe that if the Mutant is freely acknowledging they are an outsider, you should execute them for it at the point where it actively hurts town for you to do so and no sooner. Operation "get Ben to actually feel like he should hide the fact that he's the Mutant one day" is far from complete yet, but ongoing and in full force!

Yeyyy Ben player perspective 🎉

[@Tribdinosaur]

That was beautiful. I fell for every storyteller trick in that game.

[@StrawberryGamesDev]

Genuinely one of the funniest bits I've seen in a long time. Thank you for blessing us with this! 😂

How do you even get an evil atheist and mayor when the atheist ability specifies no evil characters?

[@Moleoflands]

I was wondering that. 2 bounty hunters?

[@karlovisttimes8271]

That doesn't mean no evil players, I suppose. Atheist can break rules

[@bennburns]

The Atheist can break the rules .

[@GeniusLad32]

@@bennburns But could an atheist ST not then put a demon and minions into the game? I thought the whole point was that there are no evil players in an Atheist game.

[@bennburns]

@@GeniusLad32 yes, they could. And yes, you are correct, the whole point of Atheist is that it's all of the players working together to solve the puzzle, unhindered by the existence of an evil team trying to thwart them. When it comes to an Atheist game, the answer to the question 'can the ST do this thing?' is always going to be 'yes'. But that is the wrong question to ask. Because the ST can do anything, the question then becomes 'should the ST do this?' which is a much harder question to answer. Generally speaking, it is considered a bad idea to put an evil team into an Atheist game, as you yourself have already noted.

[@Zilong09]

In Ben's example: how does one have an Evil Atheist 🤔? Amnesiac ability?

[@BloodontheClocktower]

In an Atheist game, the Storyteller can break the rules. - Ben

[@Zilong09]

@@BloodontheClocktower okay then! I guess the (No Evil characters) just means no Minion roles or Demons but that doesn't stop you from making Evil townsfolks

[@BloodontheClocktower]

Atheist is a complex character. Because you can break the rules, you CAN do anything, including break the rules of the Atheist character itself. Because of this, the relevant question ceases to be what you CAN do and becomes what you SHOULD do. You can make the Atheist evil and give them a Minion ability, effectively turning them into a Minion. You probably shouldn't do that though. The purpose of the Atheist is for the ST to create a fun puzzle for the players. If that puzzle is unsolvable due to heavy-handed rule-breaking, especially breaking the rules of the Atheist itself, you've probably gone too far. - Ben
