Hypno, talking to the poisoner and the drunk, "There's a poisoner or a drunk"

[@cryptic_sunflower]

i feel so bad for xisuma. first time he was just confused and everyone thought he was the demon. this time hes the town drunk and ends up even more confused.

[@grandpaGenX]

Good on him for playing again

[@ExcaliburPaladin]

But he was so funny

[@TerrisH20]

I don't know, he was acting like the drunk despite not even knowing he was at the time. It (unintntionaly) fit his role quite well. EDIT: also, is there a reason you don't start the count on the playerless blocks? thus insuring that the players always have a moment after you say go to vote?

[@trumtrum5136]

But he also seemed to figure out a lot on how to play, unfortunately he got smacked with more confusion to understand. But it's funny. Next game he'll be a pro

[@lunarshadow7712]

If they move on to next base three script, I’m betting that he’ll get Savant which is each day learn two statements from the ST, one is false and one is true.

[@skarm227]

Impulse actually being the mayor is such beautiful comedic irony

[@VagueCastle649]

Xiuma is so funny "This is a great time to tell you I know nothing"

[@ExcaliburPaladin]

X is just great philosopher

[@SirChaosS]

i felt like that was just Xisuma's tag line at this point LOL

[@AscendingIcarus]

Maybe it would be more fun if dead people (ghosts) couldn’t interact with the living folk and share information

"Here's my defense: The classic 'I'm innocent'." lmao bdubs I was really surprised to hear Bdubs say he plays a lot of Town of Salem, and it really showed in how skillful he played it!

[@LucyTheBox]

Yeah, I had the same thoughts about Bdubs! You can tell, despite probably not having played this particular game, he is aware of general strategy.

[@frostboi77]

yea it really does show

[@crossfang1440]

DO and TCG are awesome, but lowkey this is my favourite game in Season 9. Simply because of the sheer joy I derive from seeing the Hermits engaging in interactions with one another.

[@grandpaGenX]

This is the season of mini games I love it

❤❤❤ I love this one too. Have been waiting for more. 😊

[@ahmed4363]

​@@grandpaGenXCan you really call Decked out a "mini" game

[@Nopenopenope412]

I was saying the same. DO and TCG look like a ton of fun to play, but sometimes are really boring to watch. I was so giddy watching Bdub's POV and wanted more. It was the same feeling I get when watching the Life series.

[@metaphysicalmonsters3667]

Cleo’s little double take when they saw Cub 😂 tbh I didn’t even notice he shouldn’t have been there until people started laughing

[@sjarel9111]

impulse getting the mayor role had me LOL!!

[@InfernaFiresword]

I watched this game live from Hypno’s stream, and the irony was so funny then - knowing Cleo and Impy busted their guts laughing at the draw makes it even funnier now xD

[@thegameplayer125]

and what was as comical was that xisuma who is still a beginner getting what is without a doubt 1 of the most complicated roles of the game

[@sjarel9111]

It's like when you're playing D&D, and the DM gives you disadvantage on a roll specifically so it's unlikely you'll succeed, and then you get two nat 20s anyway. Sometimes RNGesus wants what he wants.

I want X to get confusing roles every game, he is just hilarious

X as the drunk is perfect casting. The dropper knew what it was doing.

[@sarahsoup97]

Not gonna lie, every time I heard Cleo's horn summoning everyone I had war flashbacks to "COMING SOON TO OWN ON HOME VIDEO"

[@GforGForce]

Love how both of these games have just been everyone going “oh poor X”

[@legacyproductions9555]

Oh God Xisuma can't catch a break 🤣

[@noatmealcookie02]

Next time he'll get Imp as his role lmao

[@Amber-wq1sy]

Absolutely love the small touches and simple visual upgrades from last time Cleo. The white chestplates for ghosts, the horn and the edittable signs makes it all feel more refined. Its also nice seeing a few of the hermits starting to pick up a little on game stratergy, joe especially stood out for me in that department but that comes unsurprisingly. Hopefully with a few more games in them they'll fully understand the rules and tactics, and will all be at the same level. Poor Keralis was so lost bless him, very much didn't grasp the game in the same way impulse did last time and I just think lack of knowledge really bit him in the butt. Though having an empath which can confirm a fortune teller and an undertaker as good is so so powerful and would be difficult to overcome at any skill level of this script. Overall this game was more predictable, but it definitely showed us that the hermits are starting to get into their groove and I can't wait to watch them evolve into pathological liars :)

[@liamengram6326]

Impulse picked up the game quickly because he played the crap out of Among Us on "Friday Night Stabby Stabby" streams with Tango, Mrs. Tango, Skizz, Joker, EvilNotion, and occassionally a bunch of other Hermits/MCYTers like Grian, Scar, Etho, False, Pearl, Joel, Scott, etc. While the games are very different they still very much rely on social deduction, deception, and gleaning information while keeping some tight to the vest.

[@PriestessGoat]

"they've given me sugar, and grain." is bdubs a hworse?

[@aleaf1494]

Hes spent so much time with the horses that hes become one lol

[@justmarcus33]

I love how much "co-op hang out and do things" this season has been, obviously all the builds and bases are amazing but what has really made this season has been all "in minecraft" games the Hermits have done together

It would be funny to rename the White Leather tunics "bedsheets".

MORE (and drag Tango out of the Citadel)

[@Disastr0usMindx]

I agree w this very much! We need a game w atleast the majority of the hermits!

[@laurelwillow]

@@Disastr0usMindx I mean- there's 26 hermits and the game only goes up to 15 players, so you can't have *that* many. But you can certainly have a lot!

[@Joe-jh2gc]

Yeah we need to see Tango and Etho in this game. It was a shame that cub just missed out on this round

[@DyslecticAttack]

​@@laurelwillowthe 15 players isn't a hard limit though. It's not recommended to surpass 15 players because of the size of the standard scripts and because it makes time management more difficult, but it can be done with more than 15 players. It'd probably be a good idea to not have such a big game with inexperienced players or with an inexperienced storyteller, and you should probably either modify a script, or make a custom one to accommodate for more players. But it's far from impossible, it's just longer games where balance is a bit trickier to maintain for more nights. Just like how it's recommended to not have groups that are too small. But there are variants for a Teensyville game with 5 or 6 players. They're just generally shorter games and again, the balance of giving enough information, while not giving too much information is a bit more challenging.

[@laurelwillow]

@@DyslecticAttack yeah- I'm not counting modified scripts or adding extra travelers or whatnot. Limit of 15 is simple enough

[@joshmccarty8800]

I know x is so confused and probably frustrated but he makes it so entertaining

[@ca-ke9493]

Tbf I think X did very well, after being very confused last game he was overly cautious about all the possibilities. Somehow X being a self-aware drunk is more hilarious than the overly confident poisoned last game xD

[@danthealien]

I feel bad for xisuma, getting the most confusing role in the script, and Keralis as the demon in his first game with more experienced players! Cleo could have given the evil team more of a chance had they pinged the mayor kill onto Joe, but still, great game!

[@Awwi2]

[@Sylfa]

Though to be fair, one of the goals of deception games is to get people to throw off the societal requirements for a few hours and just have fun with it. I have a feeling I'd either be superb *or* terrible in a game like that, with almost no chance of being anywhere in between. Never played one and sadly probably never will though, looks too stressful and don't have any RL friends that are into such games.

[@ki11ershark]

Awesome second game! Cannot wait for a third! It was great to see Bdubs and Keralis join. I'm also so happy you decided to do the white ghost tunics, I know I suggested it last time but I'm sure others suggested it too and I found it VERY helpful and I had a much easier time following who was dead and who used their votes this time around.

[@LucyTheBox]

Yeah, there were a few that commented about the ghost outfits, but also other little things, it's really nice to see the feedback implemented.

[@SnickMonster]

47:18 Alright Cleo, I'm nominating you to be sued on the crime of being thirsty. Chat, Cleo was drinking an unspecified carbonated drink during in which people were talking, and just honestly I can't believe that. Like who just gets thirsty like that? No one, that's who. I rest my case.

[@doomawsogaming]

With a zombie, however, they get quite thirsty quickly due to them being undead. Sue overruled.

[@dorothea.a]

Nobody actually NEEDS to drink liquids. It's just a "want". edit: Joke.

[@doomawsogaming]

@dorothea.a hydrating is a necessity to living thus in order to keep a zombie alive they need extra hydrating

[@Rhaifha]

2 minutes in and I can already see where this is going, lol Also, that horn is a really smart way to get everyone back together

[@kazrielkazoo]

I absolutely love watching you guys play BotC! Im always hype for hermit interaction, especially if it involves scheming. Joe and Gem were the real MVPs in my eyes. Joe was fantastic at pulling information together into correct conclusions, and Gem has a great social read. This was so fun to watch!!

[@Yirggzmb]

I've watched Joe play Among Us before. He's very good at it. I'd love to see him get to be the demon in one of these because he can straight face bs his way through stuff really well

Dear Joe, I got the “audience is now deaf” reference. We used to say it at the start of every movie!

What is your review?

[@thegameplayer125]

man i am more excited to watch this than decked out. not sure what i found more funny, xisuma not only having the least experience but getting 1 of the more complicated roles or how impulse went from being the leader of demons to leader of the town

[@MagnorCriol]

I cackled like a madman when X drew washerwoman. Poor X. I haven't even finished the video yet and I know it's gonna be chaos.

[@MatsJPB]

I love this, such a great idea! I was a bit confused about why Xisuma was so upset about being made the drunk, but then I went back and watch the previous game which I had missed. That poor guy, they need a hug and a cup of coco!

[@tegxi]

oh!! I haven't watched cleo in a bit, I check back to catch up and see she's playing one of my favorite games of all time. Was not expecting BotC on hermitcraft!

[@gilbertocruz4005]

Xisuma is so funny in this game

[@SuperHeroR]

This is really fun. Cub not making it in time was sad, he is a fun guy to have in these games. Keep these coming! Joe Hills getting to fully participate was also nice! Would be nice to get the Spoon: Mumbo to join. Or some chaos in Scar/Grian. But otherwise, please keep these coming! Bdubs with Empath really made this game a bit too easy especially since it was Keralis's first game. :( Poor Keralis, he didn't stand a chance.

[@pyv0x733]

bdubs really made it tough for Keralis, you could tell he had experience

[@HKpanzer]

37:29 Cleo cackling like a witch makes me smile >:)

[@NemuiDoraneko]

This was so much fun to watch! X getting the drunk and Keralis being new made the outcome even more unpredictable and interesting to watch ^^ I really hope there will be more rounds of it!

[@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor]

Finished the video and I just wanna say Cleo, this was an excellent addition to HC this season. With all the decked out videos, this is such a delightful change of pace! A+ Content! Ms Cleo!

[@Van-dq4sw]

I think there should be a special role, just for Xisuma, called The Void. Where no matter what information he gets, it's wrong, but he at least KNOWS it's wrong, and has to put together the correct information in reverse (eg "I was told that this person MUST be evil, which means they must NOT be evil"). It would do nothing but confuse the poor man and be incredibly hilarious to watch. (This is a joke; I feel sorry for the poor man getting the drunk role on his second game, but it is. Highly entertaining.)

[@purplpasta]

Funnily enough, a role like this is planned to release in the future! Astrologer: Each day, visit the Storyteller to learn a piece of false information. Once per game, it's true.

[@ferrarolareine2166]

Cleo, i am obsessed with this game! It’s very interesting seeing how all the hermits interact with each other in their own respective roles and these types of games in general is fun. Would love to see more of it in the future (:

[@embrilla]

There was so much improvement in game play and strategy between the last game, I’m so excited to see what the next one will bring. I also hope next time Xisuma can have a little more luck with roles, while I absolutely love his cluelessness I’m sure he’ll enjoy the game even more when he isn’t so overwhelmed.

[@madeleineruusu]

i love seeing the hermits play this! makes for so many fun interactions and puts their acting and investigative skills to use

[@yiannchrst]

You need to organize more of these. They are so fun! Also, Joe is such a pro at this game!

[@LucyTheBox]

I wonder how long BOTC in hermitcraft will last. Would be really neat to see Bad Moon Rising and Sects & Violets played at some point. It'd be amazing if this lasts long enough for the hermits to dip their toes into the experimental character pool.

[@CamronJK]

Sects and Violets coming soon!

[@tayters8763]

I didn't notice this when I watched Joe's perspective, but I love how you call out executing Ren to joe when he gets his role.

[@masterpiece1817]

If you poison the Drunk, does the Drunk get correct information? XD

[@purplpasta]

Nope, they don't negate each other. A drunk, poisoned, or both player will get arbitrary information, and their power won't work anymore. It's up to the Storyteller what they learn.

[@Rhaifha]

Not necessarily, but you *can* give a Drunk correct information. Like when a Drunk knows they're drunk and the evil team is losing, it can be very helpful to give the drunk true information because they will assume it's false. You know, given that they're the drunk. AFAIK information only *has* to be false in a Vortox game.

[@purplpasta]

@@Rhaifha Drunk or poisoned is arbitrary, not false, correct

[@MortalAnonymous]

It would be kind of funny if the effects actually doubled down and they got some kind of impossible number or info. "You get a 3 on your neighbors." "Wait what?" Would likely help them figure out their role if it happened at least, haha.

[@purplpasta]

@@MortalAnonymous You could theoretically do that with any drunk or poisoned player haha. If you feel like the good team is struggling, make it obvious that they're droisoned

[@PredictedCyborg]

The moment X pulled the Drunk role I was like "Oh, this is NOT going to help him understand the game any better!" EDIT: Cleo's slight double-take when she turned around and Cub had just APPEARED. xDD

[@Sage8981]

Oh man, getting Soldier as a fake alibi is so good . Just don't kill anyone night 2 or 3, claim you were shot at, easy town cred . (Still at the start, let's see how it goes) Edit Day 2: False has got to be 100% certain it's Ren and Keralis now. I can't believe they both voted on Bdubs; the most town player in the pool currently. Edit 2: End. That was extremely unfortunate for Keralis to get Imp his very first game. False getting info on Keralis night 0 was even more unlucky. Cleo if you happen to read this, if I could make a small suggestion? Would it be possible to include chapters so the viewers could kinda play along without knowing the role information? Like I'd love if I could just see the day phases. (There's probably a bunch of KZbin reasons why that's not ideal, which is fine and totally cool) Final words, I love this game and social deduction games in general. I live watching your videos on them and I love watching the hermits play. You are doing such an amazing job.

Xisuma was much more confident this game! He was mostly confidently _wrong..._ but, yeah. :P Him hitting everybody with essentially "I know that I know nothing" near the end was top notch.

[@pyroisshy6617]

These videos are so great, i get so invested in the game! I think what keralis should've done was used his first day to lie and try and confirm rendog as a good player, and then sacrificed himself on the second night. A single Imp who everyone trusts with a "dead townsfolk" confusing all the other players sounds like a winning strategy.
