This Ojo Needs To Go-O | No Rolls Barred Plays Blood on the Clocktower IN PERSON

[@JV-the-Tossh]

Dom's and Ken's subtle information passing in the first convo is first class. Dom getting the bluffs out in secret to Ken because they cannot be sure Sully isn't bluffing them. And Ken being able to pass to Dom which bluff he is taking in secret as well. That is good stuff.

[@eleanorbrushia]

genuniely peak improv there, fantastic stuff to see

[@ialsoagree1634]

Ken was actually trying to pass a lot of information secretly. For example, during the day on day 1 31:50 Ken gossiped that Sullivan and Dom were the demon - he was trying to tip Sullivan off that Dom was the demon and he was on the evil team. Also, when Ken nominates Dom near the end of the game 1:26:43 as part of his prosecution he mentions that there's an Amnesiac who pinged Dom as evil, trying to tip Dom off that there was an Amnesiac with a powerful ability in play.

Hopefully this comment rises to somewhere near the top, as I anticipate a lot of people wondering why I said what I said. The Ogre's rules have changed in the several months since this video was recorded and it no longer changes alignment along with it's buddy. Eagle-eyed viewers might notice that it no longer has a reminder token for this exact reason. This is because there are some edge-cases where it can cause the evil team to outnumber the good team, which is a tiny bit broken.

I'm surprised people weren't more suspicious of Dom. He didn't put much effort into his bluff and kept "forgetting" who he had gambled on, and also paying against information he supposedly had. But it's probably just because of the mayor, otherwise they would have dug into that more on the final day.

[@thomasblazek4104]

I assume he was probably really struggling with his bowels beyond the comedic snippets they put into the cut and people chalked it up to him being really distracted by it. Then there were just enough "attention grabbers" such as the DA/Ogre situation and the Amnesiac and the drunk information to make sure he could stay out of the spotlight.

[@CrypticCobra]

Mara even had the realization Dom was voting completely in contrast to his claimed Gambler clear of her and whispered to herself it made no sense, then her defence to the group completely failed to mention how sus Dom is for 100% not being the gambler

[@Ryvaken]

An interesting thing in Blood on the Clocktower is that there's a trickle of objective information but people mostly rely on social reads because the objective information is too hard to puzzle out. You don't have any logicians in the group finding the contradictions and making them stick. "I trust X" is taken as stronger than "X isn't using his information."

[@Ikonicre_Moonshield]

Laurie played the Mayor really well here. Remembering the episode where he screamed he carried his team to victory (Ding Dom Merrily on High), he actually did just that here. The evils did a good job making Mara look suspicious. Also a serious throw by Sully right out of the gate again, LOL.

[@loke6664]

Yeah, it was a mistake to take out Ken though. Dom should have tried for the Mayor, it might still have bounced for Ken but would have been worth the chance. Everyone played well and Laurie did deserve the Mayor win, he usually gets thrown in front of the buss.

[@idman4081]

@@loke6664 I was actually thinking it through and it probably would have been better to kill the amnesiac. He could have reasonably guessed that Ken would be protecting him that day, so if Mara was dead, then as long as anyone was executed, evil wins. If I'm not mistaken, a player doesn't have to die to stop a mayor win, just be executed. So even if they found out somehow that Dom is the demon, voting him out wouldn't have killed him, and the day would end with 3 players and 1 execution, meaning evil wins automatically. All they had to do was push that Laurie probably isn't the mayor, and I think they could have done that pretty easily. There was enough doubt there to scare people into voting someone. But also.... WHY DID KEN VOTE WHEN HE DID??? If it had tied, Dom still had the opportunity to bluff some reason why he would rather nominate Mara than no one, and then they could try to convince the ghosts to go through with it. With Dom, Sully, Ellen, and Ken voting, Mara would have been killed if Dom and Laurie had tied at 3 votes each. In reality the only ghost that needs convincing there would be Ellen. I think Ken just panicked, which is fine, it's a pretty stressful game, but I think that was the final nail in the evil team's coffin lol. Everyone played very well, but a few evil team mistakes was all it took to stop the momentum they had going into the end.

[@amaryllis0]

There's not really any world where the Mara vote makes sense. If she's the demon, then Laurie is really the mayor and the vote is already tied, guaranteeing victory if no one votes. If she's innocent, then executing her lets the demon win. Maybe be could have blagged it, but I think muddling the waters by throwing his vote in was a better chance of them voting Mara, thinking it means Dom is innocent and killing him would ensure evil win, and their best option being to tie 4 votes or vote Mara. Sadly the vote order makes a last minute "evil adds an extra vote to push the tie over" impossible, but it's reasonable to not expect Ken to be able to calculate the exact moving parts in the moment

​@@kev_whatevHow did he do that exactly? I thought Ken played pretty much perfectly throughout, wasting so much of the village's time together with his ogre. If anything it was Dom's mistake of killing Ken instead of the mayor that lost them the game. If you're thinking of Ken's last second vote for Dom, he even addressed it in the ending. That would have tied the vote and it would have been impossible to convince the village not to go for a mayor victory in that case.

[@SamuelBoshier]

​​@@kev_whatevAlso spoilers: . . . . They lost as soon as Dom got up to 3 votes on him. Even with all the remaining ghost votes on Mara, she or Laurie would have to vote for her for her to be executed - and Laurie would only ever want to tie it, while Mara would never vote for herself of course. I can also see the logic, though it's flawed (in a fast-paced situation). Ken made a lot of great plays throughout, and one tactical error at the end that couldn't affect the outcome anyway, so it seems way too much to say he caused the defeat.

[@BobHerzog1962]

Dom claims Sullivan is at fault. But he had this one in his hands. All he had to pick was Empath on day one. He knew that was the only one that could confirm Sully. Overall a good demonstration how strong an Empath can be in particular when their neighbours change.

[@HatterDrivenMad]

And not to mention he should've taken Mayor as the last choice. If it bounced it would have killed Ken which is fine. so I don't get his choice to pick DA.

[@baydiac]

Ken is really more to blame than Dom, and I think it was just a matter of playing chaotically as opposed to thinking things through (the Ken classic, can't be mad at it). He threw by: 1. Hiding it from Sully, which made Sully confident he was a good boy-meaning when Sullivan successfully figured out Dan was an empath it didn't scare him one bit that Dan would be able to check him in the night. He was confident his role didn't change, so he had no reason to warn Ken and Dom. 2. Saving Sully's life on the first night was intended to be a self-serving move, I get it, but Sully had to die. With Dom going for the oracle, hiding Sully's alignment change was the next biggest priority. No one cares if sus is thrown on Tilly, she's the Baron. She can die to save the reputation of both Sully and Ken. One person losing trust is better than two. This is another situation where Sully incorrectly believing the Empath wouldn't ping him since he was such a good boy unraveled the evil team's game. 3. Exerting more control over Sully. Being "on team Ken" was not utilized at all during the game, when it's a clear reason for Sully to play Butler. Tell Sully to vote with you. If Sully is voting before you and you know you're going to vote yes on someone, order him to vote for them as well so you're on the same page! 4. Throwing up his hand at the end to put Dom on the block was bad math. It might be tempting to blame Tilly as well for committing to the mayor bit and using her ghost vote on Laurie, but how could she have known the rest of the evil team wouldn't back her up? So Ken is more to blame for not realizing that saving Dom without tying the vote was literally impossible since Mara would never vote for herself*. *Possibly what Dom could've done was pretend he wasn't going to vote for Mara, forcing her to vote for herself to tie it and give a mayor win -then throw his hand up right after she voted to secure victory. I truly believe that's the only chance he had after Ken's play. I don't like criticizing plays without offering an alternative, so this is the alternative I'm suggesting that would've made Ken's maneuver work.

[@baydiac]

In the end, it's BotC. No one misplays by choosing not to trust another player, even if they're telling the truth, because we have an omniscient view into the game and they do not. I don't know why it would be more likely to assume Sully was lying about being an ogre to suss out evil players as opposed to genuinely being an ogre, particularly because it's Sully and he's not a fan of using 4D chess mindfuck plays. If Dom or not-Eve would have said it, I would understand Ken's hesitation much more. But Sully? He doesn't like playing that way, it stresses him out. You know he's being honest if he's claiming a lying-heavy role like that one. It's like if he claimed savant while being evil, it's just unlikely since it gives him a lot to keep track of. (For example, figuring out what to say when two other outsiders crop up thanks to Tilly's Baron. He would have to *know* he could get away with it, and presumably be telling multiple people he's the ogre to fish for the first minion/demon he gets? Sully would be much too nervous to try it).

[@jclocke9157]

All the players of the evil team beefed it this time in some way. After Dom left the Empath alive by choosing Gossip and getting Blair killed, the evil team should have pushed hard on Dan. It's very suspicious that Blair, a spent Clockmaker, would die when an Empath was outed - and it just so happens that death conveniently makes Ken the empath's neighbor, and the empath can now confirm two evil players? The evil team should not have let that stand, and no one seriously pushed the idea that Dan was lying.

[@JCPRuckus]

​@@baydiac - I agree that Ken screwed the pooch with regards to Sully. At least tell him not to tell anyone else he's an Ogre who picked Ken, because that makes outing one of you outing both of you. Also Dom blew it not picking Empath to take the possibility of picking up a Sully team switch off the table after Sully did reveal that in the town square. But that's a more difficult play to think through than just telling Sully to be at least a little coy, which wouldn't be weird even if you're on the good team. So I still blame Ken more, even though it made for some lovely chaos... Also self-nominating day 1 with two decent kills on the block was very sus. However, I believe Dom had to vote first. So there's no way your alternative play works.

[@CMFKids]

I've read through most of the comments, but first impression when watching this episode was that it was certainly a quite blatant misplay by Dom killing Ken his DA on that last night, and on reflection I still strongly believe this is the case. The only explanation I can offer is that had he still gone on to victory it would have been more grandiose. From a probability perspective he certainly needed to kill Mara either by targeting Laurie and it inevitably bouncing to Mara or by just targeting Mara. Having 2 evil players alive on the last day allows Ken to vote more than once and provides the evil team with more options. Dom definitely messed up forgetting he'd told Mara he gambled on Amnesiac as well; I think the episode was edited quite a bit around that point in time because you see a few seconds when Mara remembers that Dom should know Mara is good, and then nothing more is said. Prior to that point Mara never considered voting for Dom, after that point Mara immediately knows Dom is evil, and I think most of the rest of the cast realise this as well. Still greatly enjoyed the episode and hindsight is 20/20 but it certainly appears that Dom played suboptimally in this one.

I'd like to just take a moment to express how much I appreciate Tegan. She's hilariously entertaining every time she's in a video 💗 "Art thou evil, sir?" I am not evil *at you,* but verily I am evil. *Bites thumb*

[@LSOP-]

More Tegan!

[@ilovesparky13]

She’s so obnoxious in every video she’s in.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@ilovesparky13 You're entitled to your opinion, but maybe consider why you felt the need to tell people publicly that you don't like someone they do?

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@tappy8741 "It's hard not to speak up when someone loves a person or thing that I don't"? No, it's not, if you understand the concept of subjectivity and that different people are different and there's no objective right or wrong view. I dislike a lot of people that many others love, and it takes zero effort for me to be happy for them and not complain that they shouldn't be liked. Humor is subjective. Her brand of excitable humor isn't for you, and that's okay. I prefer it to quiet people in my entertainment.

[@Flamuski]

@@ilovesparky13 I know right? She's amazing.

[@bradleyhampton7966]

Dom fumbled so hard on the last day lmao. He killed his DA protecting him. Allowed a Mayor who outted themself as Mayor to win… which killing woulda resulted in a guaranteed victory. He proceeded to have Mara on his side, got the Laurie on the block, but then forgot that he claimed that he gambled Mara as Amnesiac… therefore ousting himself as evil to Mara. Dom had it and threw it all away.

[@meko750]

This confused me so bad, why would he kill Ken? He and Ken had majority if he made a good kill and Mara was pretty clearly amnesiac by that point. Maybe he was scared of ghost votes, but of course Ken was gonna protect him. Such a weird play.

[@jamesburns679]

Did he throw for content? Game makes no sense tbh

[@alexanderhoak]

Problem here is that A) Dom was desperate to make Laurie look like the Demon, as more players trusted Mara than Laurie. and B) If Dom had chosen to kill the Mayor, then Ben would have almost certainly bounced the kill to Mara, as the Mayor would have been the only path to victory for good with a DA'd demon on the final night. He could have killed Mara, which would have left the (basically) confirmed DA, the Demon, and the Mayor. At that point the town would likely assume that the Demon was DA protected and pushed even harder for the Mayor, as it would have been the only path with a possibility of victory. Essentially banking on the idea that the chance of the Mayor being in play was greater than the chance of the Demon not being protected. If anything, I would argue that Ken was the one who messed up by voting for Dom. If it tied then Dom would still have nominated Mara, the village would go for another tie, and Ken, being the last person to vote could throw his hand up last minute to get Mara killed and win.

[@CooksBooks]

​@@alexanderhoak Agree with most of this comment, but not sure I agree with the conclusion at the end? If Ken hadn't thrown his hands up Dom and Laurie would be tied, no? So everyone could simply not vote for Mara, they wouldn't need to tie it, and then Ken couldn't have thrown up his hand last minute because he'd have been the only vote.

[@alexanderhoak]

@@CooksBooks No, yeah, that's entirely correct. Don't know why I didn't consider that. I guess the conclusion here is that the game ultimately came down to a coin flip, and good happened to call it right.

[@rue8929]

New Merch idea. An official album of all the end credits songs. They've genuinely been my favorite part of every in person BOTC, and getting the sequel to Ghost Lawyer today was the perfect full circle moment, give us the full songs NRB, they'll sell like hot cakes!

[@unitlonda4925]

That ending was so tense, I had no idea who would take the victory home until the end

[@aylii]

I absolutely love the look between Laurie and Blair when Tilly is intimating that she may be the mayor! 1:32:45

[@KevinWeirG2]

**Spoiler for thoughts on ending** I see a fair amount of people saying Dom was foolish to kill Ken, and while we don't really know what Dom was thinking (other than needing to poo), it's worth keeping in mind: 1) Ken was pretty much outed evil, so you'd have to convince people he was the demon, which seems tough when the idea of him being a DA was already presented. 2) People were really onboard with the Clockmaker getting a 1, so it could be easier to convince everyone that the demon sat next to Ken (outed evil) or Tilly (pinged by the Empath) 3) He had to play around the Mayor, who he very likely figured out Laurie was. There is 0% chance the Storyteller was going to kill the Mayor if the demon was DA protected, meaning it could ping to Ken or Mara, in which case, see above. And, 4) BOTC is about making split-second decisions based on a hope and a prayer and how you think you're friends will react - not solving logic puzzles while you write a comment. All a line of thinking needs to do is make sense for a moment and you can give it a shot.

[@nukethewhalesagain]

If Ken had been alive he would have been able to vote multiple times and between he and Dom they could have messed with the math every time the group tried to tie it.

[@nukethewhalesagain]

With Ken's protection (which I know he couldn't have known he had but should have a reasonable guess) and the voting order of alive players it would have been almost impossible for the evil team to lose. They could have come out as evil and still not lose. Dom fumbled by killing Ken 100%.

[@FatesChosenHero]

This was such a good episode! Happy when BotC comes around and this one does not disappoint! Laurie finally got a win after going on such a long losing streak, and it was his power that won the game!

[@Pentech2u]

No matter how many times they do it, the ending of the chatter slowly getting quiet and then Tom approaching the camera chills me.

[@amypond7631]

MAJOR props to Laurie and Mara for the first ever mayor win and amnesiac solving! That was amazing to watch! I have two major questions about the ending, though: why on EARTH would Dom kill his devil's advocate, and why did Ken vote for his own demon? I guess it wouldn't matter either way since they got the mayor win, but they both seem like things that really hurt their chances.

[@ZebMeierWatz]

Evil team should have won this. Ken was back to his chaotic self, and too open with information. Also Mara had their best game imho

[@MicroYeti]

Blood on the Clocktower are my favourite NRB videos, excited to watch this one!

[@Mealbot2000]

Dom walked back gambling on Ken being the sailor real fast. If anyone would have remembered that he said that, it whould of been GG

[@ANTLERQUEEN]

Ken's nomination of Dom to draw all the heat onto himself was outstanding. S tier player.

[@bexboc]

Poor Dom I felt his pain!

[@secretscarlet8249]

Love Tilly’s sigh when she got the minion token and Dan’s shake of the head when he got empath 😂

[@Pumpythecat]

One of the best clocktower episodes yet, good work

[@MikeDCWeld]

27:05 Sullivan was really putting out some serious Dom Monopoly energy there!

[@MarkStanley11]

I thought Mara was going to work it out at the end when she questioned why Don didn’t trust her after he had checked her as gambler. When Don nominated her I was ready for her to bring that up but she didn’t

[@malvinafis6907]

This is an amazing video to release on my birthday. Can't wait to watch it.

[@Mr_Quackinson]

Mara cooked this episode! Congrats!

[@mr_underscore7681]

The song at the end was golden! 🤣

[@flip73120]

Amazing episode as always guys thanks you!! Also the outro gives me WKUK vibes love it 🤣

[@TheErlend87]

Me too! I miss that show RIP Trevor!

[@Luciusem]

Woah, I hadn't noticed until this video that the Amnesiac's question mark has the profile of a face inside it. Neat!

[@AlysterJohnEstur]

Another fantastic game with everyone playing 4D Chess with one another. Kudos to the Empath and Amnesiac vs. The MVP DA of all DAs! Also, can they stop wanting to die, specially in the first few rounds. I know they are experts at this game, but it only really helps the evil team.

[@JoeH679]

Yeah, Blair wanting to die when she was plainly good seemed pretty unhelpful to her team, and an ogre should probably want to stay alive because if they're evil their vote is very powerful later on.

[@VirtualVictrola]

Oh a lovely game of firsts! Congratulations to the winning team! Very well deserved!

[@the_luggage]

Most powerful Empath ever for a while there. Mayor victories are the sweetest, well done, Laurie! Love the way Ken plays this game.

[@seaape1070]

When Mara figured out their power, I just wanted to scream for joy. Great episode.

[@neuroticrith]

I didn't expect the Poop Demon musical at the end but it is much appreciated.

[@ExactApproachLOL]

I’m 9 seconds in, but the thumbnail promises that this is an absolute masterpiece.

[@ExactApproachLOL]

I’m just over a minute in and Tom’s absolutely outdone himself.

[@lindseywhite3371]

That was a wild ride! Thank you all, once again for this wonderful craziness xx

[@minagranic7662]

Please make a version without roles icons and Storyteller commentary - we would love to try and figure it out ourselves! Great job all-round, love watching these!

[@necr0mancrr]

The conversation between Tegan, Dan, and Sully taking about one minute to devolve into “We did the Bay of Pigs” was incredible

[@bungaIowbill]

1:58:04 lol Mara's observation completely shows that Dom is just making stuff up and he kinda gets away with it by giving an awkward smile and ignoring it? 🤣

[@CrypticCobra]

I was shocked she failed to mention it at all when it came defence time. She just said "I know the statistics and your claim is bad". when she should have been calling him out on the fact he at no point ever acted on any of his gambler claims. By the end it should have been obvious he was the only one that wasn't making any sense, and obviously didn't want a mayor win because it would mean his own loss.

[@francisxavier8374]

what a banger, one of the BEST botc episode ive ever seen literally twists EVERY DAY my god

[@brynr2953]

Dom and Tilly working together is always my favorite ❤

[@jeremybaumann9180]

Don’t worry Dom you weren’t the only Ojo saying oh no I gotta go but got hooked on the game

YAAAAAAYYYY I JUST STARTED WATCHING THE PLAYLIST AND A NEW ONE IS OUT

Same!!!! I just finished the second evil twin episode XD

Screaming, crying, gnashing my teeth, been waiting all month for this!

[@bishop1412]

The real demon was in Dom's gut

[@rebekah4761]

I love that this series has just turned into ghost lawyers and self nominations.

[@livedandletdie]

Tegan Dan and Sullivan sounded like they were the entire evil team and moreso... Absolutely Hilarious Stuff.

[@Lvmikki77]

The fact that this wasn’t a Patreon exclusive is making me even more excited about the future content

[@martinwoodrome6588]

As someone who has no idea what a little monster or marionette is, it would be nice if their description was flashed on the screen whenever someone mentions those. Ps mara you need to talk to more than just ken lol!

[@Darbyact]

I’m not to the end yet, but this has been one of my favorite games they’ve played yet!! Very good job team.

[@effyapples6219]

If I had a nickel for every time dom Allen had food poisoning while playing botc for nrb, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

[@gabrielbisbey]

This was so great!! It released just when I was about to start running my dnd game, it was so worth the wait!! Loved it!!

[@maximebetty9400]

Ken throwing again an amazing performance, almost carrying his team on his shoulders. Keep it up, master

[@doddsy9]

Another Dom song at the end of NRB!! Wasn't expecting this.

[@IOSALive]

No Rolls Barred, This is amazing! I can't stop smiling!
