Smosh Plays Blood On The Clocktower

[@OnlyMooseUKnow]

Spencer freaking out that Angela forgot her role. Goes to remind her. Which she confirms she knows what she’s doing. Then messes up right after. Is such an Angela move.

[@bee-om2ry]

I thought it was GENIUS picking Saint to throw them off her being the Monk, and Spencer was sooo cute reminding her lol. AND THEN SHE PICKED AMANDA INSTEAD OF COURTNEY LIKE GIRL WHY!! I woulda axed her on the spot but luckily they all knew no one in their right mind would save Amanda EXCEPT Angela 🤣🤣

[@them1ddle573]

​@@bee-om2ry"I woulda axed her on the spot" lmao 😂😂😂

[@badgercloudmushroom]

It wasn't even such a bad move to save the soldier (even though Angela didn't mean to). If the soldier gets poisened, they *can* be killed in the night. If they actually went off to (all) have private conversations during the daytime, Arasha and Tommy could've coordinated that.

[@ps1hagridoufofcharacter]

well she was very tired and distracted during the initial "going over the rules" meeting because of her baby so it's very understandable that she'd mess up (i'm jokingly referencing the mechanical baby video)

[@sumvan7]

She also kept saying to flip what Trevor was saying, heavily implying that she was the monk.

This new couch is perfect for these games. They all get to sit on it, and no one has to really lean over to be seen or heard, and no one has to sit behind anyone else.

[@metallsnubben]

@@explorer47422 In fact, the ability to split off and talk in pairs/smaller groups is PART OF THE RULES as well! That's a huge part of the game, being able to share and receive information that only _some_ of you know (maybe you reveal a super powerful role to only SOME people so when you die in the night you're pretty sure they wanted to kill you, etc etc.). And for the evil team, the fact that _only the demon_ gets showed the 3 bluffs (characters not in use) and wants to talk in private with their minions to share those bluffs, all without seeming sus somehow.

the comment i was looking for lol

[@Ruminations09]

For those who aren't familiar with the rules of the game, I just want to clarify real quick: Tommy got the Chef role wrong, it is not even REMOTELY as bad of a role as he thought it was. It's actually generally considered one of the best roles on Trouble Brewing (the edition that they are playing). It's understandable that he would make the mistake - it's his first time playing and he was thrown into one of the hardest positions in the game and had to make things up on the fly. But the Chef's ability is not that they learn how many evil players there are, their ability is that they learn how many evil PAIRS there are. In other words, they learn how many sets of evil players are sat next to each other. For example, in this game, there was 1 pair of evil players, because Tommy and Arasha were sitting next to each other. The reason the Chef is so good is because if you figure out an evil player, the Chef information tells you whether or not you should think that player's neighbors are evil as well.

[@ExactApproachLOL]

I don’t want to “um, actually” their first game too hard (especially like… he got the demon in their first game, lot of pressure) but yeah that chef claim was rough. If he understood the role and through out “chef 0” it would have added one more piece of misinformation. I hope they play again and keep getting a feel for the details, there is SO much in this game.

[@TheAtticus19]

Yeah, thankfully, though, no one else in the game understood it, either lol

[@Yoanka]

@@ExactApproachLOL To be fair, I think the Chef is badly worded and mentioning adjacency more explicitly would go a long way towards making it understandable at a glance. At least the first time I looked at TB, it wasn't immediately clear to me what its description means until someone talked about it. Imo, for a second time, a more spaced out game with the room for private chats and asking the ST for help understanding their bluffs (and roles in general) would have probably gone a long way towards making the learning process smoother. As it is, the Imp would have been cooked (pun intended) on day 1 if there was a face-up outsider other than the Recluse in the game. But since everyone was playing for the first time and equally confused, it all worked out. An entirely "open forum" game of Clocktower is not something you see every day. :)

[@yugiwinninglex]

Oh Hi Rumi surprised to see you here. Also agreed. Chef is not adjancy. They learn how many pair of evils sits together. Tommy + Arasha is 1 pair. Tommy + Arasha + Anthony will be 2. Or lets says if theres 2 minion instead and there is a recluse. Tommy + Arasha 1. Example: Trevor (recluse) + Angela (minion) can be another pair. Also to add on to this game the FT aldo got things wrong, they dont learn who was evil but they learn if they are the demon. Also for this game, i think the Storyteller didnt do anything for the fortune teller being poisoned.

[@micahchurch5733]

Chefs will put role but often lie or don't say the number so that the demon can't work around the info

Trevor was not “gaslit,” my friend. Gaslighting is something with specific characteristics and criteria that are well-established and determine what qualifies as gaslighting and what does not. I respectfully encourage you and anyone else who might read this to look into what gaslighting genuinely is, what it is not, and what the criteria are that something must meet for it to qualify as gaslighting because the vast majority of people who use the term gaslighting are misusing it. ✌️🏽

[@kylmbnerva145]

Nah Chanse was right, Trevor was just being dumb that moment. He didn't thought that BOTH Angela and Amanda could be good AND that if he put anyone of those two forward as nominations it is automatically gonna give the bad guys an advantage. That's why it wad so good that both Chanse and Angela talked it out so that Trevor and Amanda could also team up with them.

[@SomethingCreative20]

Similar to their trivial pursuit house rules videos. They are so different but I can't decide which I prefer

[@ELKvlt]

I had the same thought! NRB take this game so seriously and honestly, sometimes it's too strategic for me to follow and still enjoy. Smosh has half the amount of player and it's their first time so it was actually refreshing to watch.

[@baydiac]

Anthony saying the Ravenkeeper seemed like a useless role so he might as well reveal himself, it won't affect anything, nearly made me fall out of my chair 😂 This was a very chaotic game and I'm honestly worried bc historically BotC/Pandemonium has acted very nasty to anyone who doesn't play their way. A fun game made by a very uptight, bitter, hateful company. Considering they gave Smosh this game as a gift hopefully they don't spew vitriol the same way as they did when Yogscast played it, bc I really enjoyed this video and would like to see them play again. BotC's spiteful gatekeeping habit might jeopardize that if the company throws another tantrum :,^)

[@idioticreborn]

Cool video! Just a tip for a possible next time regarding voting. If a vote passes for a player to be executed, they are instead “About To Die” (or on the chopping block, whatever you prefer). More nominations can occur, but the amount of votes to pass must exceed the amount of votes of the player About To Die. If that passes, the voted player is About To Die and the previous player is safe. If it ties, neither player is About To Die. The Storyteller can ask for a final call for nominations and then countdown from 5. If there’s no nominations, end the day. The player currently About To Die is then executed and dies.

[@laniluvsit]

Shouting at the top of their lungs at each other then immediately pointing the finger at Tommy was such a turn

[@tiredturtleman6099]

I love the 2 with the fake smiles in the beginning were the evil ones, too perfect.

[@inspirationfollows9692]

I've been playing this game online and on twitch for almost a year now, it's super fun! You all did great for the first time! There's a lot of little nuances to learn and different strategies to try out, and I hope your players get to play again even if it's not on camera! If you do play again, I highly recommend allowing players to stand up and whisper to each other in pairs or small groups. This really helps the evil team, so that the Demon can tell their Minion what the bluffs are, and so they can coordinate (for example, if they want to plan to poison and kill the soldier or the ravenkeeper together). It also lets good players try to verify their information without outing it in front of the town (Trevor could have individually talked to Angela or Amanda and figured out who was the Monk that he saw). This might have been cut for time, but it's also important to know that just because someone is nominated and voted on during the day, the day phase doesn't end immediately! The players can nominate other people, and if someone else gets more votes than the person they previously voted on, the previous person is no longer "about to die" and is safe from execution that day. The person with the higher number of votes is now "about to die" and will be executed if there are no ties or higher number votes on someone else. I also recommend using poisoning/drunkenness to help the evil team. The Storyteller's job is to help balance the game, and especially in the beginning the evil team usually starts at a disadvantage just because of the sheer number of good players. In this episode, Courtney was poisoned so she received wrong information that Tommy and someone else are NOT the demon, which was helpful! However, on a different night when she was poisoned and picked 2 people who are not Tommy, you could give her a YES. Often times evil needs help making someone else look like the demon instead of themselves. It's also okay to make the minion seem like the demon - if it helps the demon survive longer it's okay to have town kill the minion and then get confused when the game doesn't end.

[@marianne5055]

First time watching people play this game, but would private conversations perhaps work better on something like zoom? I just find it might be odd if in the middle of playing Tommy was like "I need a private conversation with arasha". Like doesnt that single them out as partners?

@@marianne5055 I highly recommend watching No Rolls Barred play Blood on the Clocktower. It gives a great outline of the game, tactics and roles.

[@Ruminations09]

@@marianne5055 Tommy and Arasha are not the only two people who had things to share. If they were allowed to talk in private Trevor would have been able to pull Angela aside and tell her that he knew she was the Monk without outing her role to everyone else. Him not wanting to out the Monk was the whole reason he waited so long to share his info, but everyone else thought he was suspicious for this on days 2 and 3. Courtney - as probably the single most powerful role in the game - would be able to tell her information to someone she trusted without having to out it to all of town. Because of the fact that she outed as Fortune Teller on day 1, she was literally poisoned on EVERY SINGLE day. She could have avoided that if she weren't forced to out publicly. Additionally, it allows for other forms of bluffing. For instance, Anthony outing as Ravenkeeper pretty much guaranteed that he would never get to use his ability. If he told one person in private that he was the Ravenkeeper and then publicly claimed a different role like Empath or Slayer, he would have been much more likely to actually get to use his ability because the demon wouldn't know what he actually is.

[@BillieReynolds-ti5nm]

Regular BOTC player and Storyteller here - one nomination does not end the day. The players can continue to nominate until the storyteller ends the day. You need half of living players' number to pass it, but it can be surpassed. If two people get the same number of votes, no one is up for execution and any other nominations must surpass _that_ number. It's one of the main differences to other social deduction games - one nomination is never the end, unless a character like the virgin is nominated (whose ability is if a townsfolk nominates them, that player is executed); execution, but not all deaths, end the day phase. Hope y'all play again, been waiting for this group to play it since the game came out

There were a few rules issues, I believe. The soldier is immune to any death, including execution, unless they're drunk or poisoned. It's typically how a soldier will prove themselves to the town early in the game. Also, after a majority passes, you get the opportunity to nominate again and see if someone else can get more votes and be executed or if the vote can be tied so no one is executed. It's an awesome game, and I hope go see you guys play it again. For anyone who likes this video, I highly recommend No Rolls Barred's Blood on the Clocktower series.

kudos to Chanse for being casually good at the game. also good job sniffing out Tommy's strategy immediately, Trevor

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Chanse balanced his role as "the one people will listen to because he knows what's up" really well. He didn't become overconfident and unintentially lead people astray. Ian tends to do that (Shayne and Damien as well) because they know games and/or has a tendency to be listened to in general. But they speculate as if they are "a normal player" because they don't view themselves like that. Chanse seems very aware of how he phrases things to point out what he knows and what he thinks, without bringing people along a single track too much. He's a great person in these games

[@amanshareef7971]

Honestly I feel like anyone who knows anything about this game is just wincing along with Chanse because not only did both of the evil people out themselves almost immediately (unintentionally obvi) but Trevor somehow didn't pick up on the fact that Angela was trying to protect her role as monk because it makes her vulnerable; also why did Trevor say who the two people weree omfg

[@NGSFilmWorks]

For future games, some really critical info for the story teller: Unlike in werewolf, just because a execution vote passes, doesn't mean the nominated is executed instantly. There should still be opportunity for other nominations (each player can only nominate and be nominated once per day). If votes are tied, them would be no execution otherwise, it's whichever player got the most votes in any one nomination that day who dies. Basically after a vote passes to execute, give the players a chance to talk and make a counter nomination, but usually not a lot of time. This would have given Tommy half a chance to manage the sudden suspicion on him especially as a number of players said they weren't comfortable with the vote so he absolutely could have tied something up. Splitting off for private chats is also a good idea, but probably a bit much of headache in terms of production. Hope you guys play a lot more of this as it improves so much as the same group gets more experienced with the game and how each other play. It could comfortably work as a longer running series.

[@thezenlu]

Someone is a BotC watcher! It's nice seeing more groups get involved in live play on YT!

[@markpolo97]

There's also usually some discussion before going to voting on the nomination. Most people seem to allow some private side conversations as well, which really adds to the game (but is a pain to film for KZbin, of course, though NRB does do this).

[@EverySongEndsStudios]

All of this. They could probably make it work having designated spots like NRB does for their in person games. It can really help the evil team or even the good team if they have people they can trust.

[@CEJRAID]

Day 4 was crazy. I still can't pinpoint the exact moment when it switched from Angela fighting for her life into convincing everyone it was Tommy. What a beautiful chaos. Thank goodness for Washer Woman Trevor.

[@abdullahkuzhan7247]

I picture this as a movie with the washer woman as the protagonist. At the end, after putting together every information she had gathered and everything she had witnessed while hanging laundry, she tries to convince the villagers that the alleged chef is actually the demon. And somewhere in the beginning of the movie there is a foreshadowing that reflects Trevor's very first suspicion.

[@pupcuz1]

Arasha's crazy play wasn't given enough credit. Not only was she poisoning Courtney every night, she did that to make Courtney think she was drunk because Courtney started to suspect she was being poisone. To reinforce that, Arasha started to claim that maybe she was being poisoned, not only throwing people off her scent but also making Courtney doubt her entire role because she might've just been drunk since two people can't be poisoned at the same time.

[@AB-xy3mr]

it’s honestly unsettling

[@pingwinsofmadagascarremast7079]

Seriously!! No one is acknowledging how smart Arasha’s play was

[@zoyamir4833]

I love Arasha’s strategy in these games. If Chanse is best at solving the riddles, Arasha is best at consistently weaving details into her story. I think over time she’s started to also use the way the others perceive her to her advantage, being more outspoken only when it benefits her more, which she probably picked up on after the Werewolf video. Well done to her, I just love seeing smart (and gorgeous) brown women in media 💕

[@ohmyoswald]

she's so smart, it was amazing to see how well she played and used her role to its maximum potential

[@fairlysleepy]

arasha IS the queen of lies fr 😭

[@animeaddictperson]

Amanda not revealing that she was the soldier at the beginning was so smart. Chanse was right that she revealed it at the perfect time. If the demon doesn't know who the soldier is when they attack and they unknowingly choose to attack them, they are basically 'wasting' a turn for attacking which is good for the good guys.

[@ameliarose47]

Chanse also stopped her from revealing it the day before. She was going to reveal it and he told her not to, and Amanda said I'm these games she always reveals to early and regrets it. Cut to her getting picked and revealing it the turn after revealing it at the PERFECT time. Chanse really is good at this game, they definitely need to bring him back next time they play.

[@oscarm4095]

@@ameliarose47 Chanse and Arasha are the best at these games, the former being better I feel (tho Arasha could just be crippled by the stigma that she's always lying even though Chanse is kinda just as good as her). They should always take point in this series. I love Anthony, he's the reason I got into Smosh again, but he's way too trusting and doesn't think too far ahead in these, unfortunately.

[@polblanes]

She still should not have revealed her role. The moment you say you're the Soldier, the demon will stop trying to kill you and try to get you executed instead. You have to say you're the Soldier only if you know for sure the demon already knows, and they didn't because there's a monk at play that could protect someone. As long as the demon doesn't know you're the Soldier, every turn is a potential fail to kill. Chanse and Arasha played amazingly and hopefully they will learn the game because they'll be brutal. It was very funny to see someone claim Chef and say they got a 2 and that's useless, Chef gets the amount of pairs of evil players sitting together so 2 means there's 3 evil players side by side xD I would have instantly thought he was drunk or poisoned. And Arasha claimed investigator and said she had inconsistent info on night 2 or 3 but investigator only gets information on night 1, luckily nobody realized that :)

[@mchlle94]

True! The only benefit to stating you're the soldier early on is that the monk doesn't waste their protection on you

Hi! Botc player here and I just want to say that the fortune tellers ability doesn't actually find evil players, it specifically finds the demon (but has one other player falsely register as the demon) which is important because minions won't register. Also thought I'd explain the usefulness of the ravenkeeper since it was questioned, usually the ravenkeeper will claim to be a more powerful role like the undertaker or fortuneteller to make the demon want to kill them, thus activating their ability. This both makes them get a use of their power, and it also protects players with powerful roles since the demon doesn't want to kill the ravenkeeper. If the ravenkeeper finds out a good players role, they know to trust them, if they pick someone evil they immediately know who it is and what ability they have and can start piecing together the game. It's quite good.
