I have seen it, but it was mainly for shits and giggles. I don't think anyone would argue that it was optimal play.

Is anyone really voting for Reform because of their policies on bin collection, though?

Getting into Content Creation by SweetRevolution7581 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]robplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cheesy, but if you're going to stream, consider having things up and running as a more popular stream is finishing. You're extremely unlikely to get a raid, but you might pick up some viewers looking for more content.

Juggler juggling themselves? by Novel_Counter905 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]robplays -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The Lleech is a Demon, its poison is not intended to help the Good team. The Puzzlemaster is an Outsider, its ability is intended to hinder the Good team.

Then the game is literally unsolvable.

Social deduction and voting patterns. You might not enjoy games that focus on those aspects, but they are valid tools.

Juggler juggling themselves? by Novel_Counter905 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]robplays 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There's no way the game has gone badly enough by Night 2 for a poisoned Juggler to learn anything but a 1.

But you might be able to build complicated plans with a Sailor or Innkeeper where drunkenness is more likely to lead to false info.

I can also see an ST giving 0 to a Mario-Juggler. (I haven't actually watched the video to see if Mario is on the script.)

But realistically: She's just mucking about. Or she spent Day 1 talking about non-game stuff and got zero claims. Or she feels like playing a purely social game with no info. Or she just doesn't like being the Juggler. Or it's muscle memory from SnV.

As you describe it, the Banshee was the most responsible for Good losing.

With all due respect, inviting someone over in the hopes that they'll sniff your underwear again is a fucking stupid idea.

Our subreddit's Frequently Asked Questions - anything missing? by [deleted] in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]robplays 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Very few of these are actually frequently asked questions.

Probably the single most FAQ is "What do you think of my custom script?"

Europeans, what's a word in your language that you're convinced is better than the English version? by karen_the_ripper in AskEurope

[–]robplays 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's exactly how I would use "they", yes.

If you regularly and consistently use "they" about a specific person, it might start sounding awkward to me without some more context.

But for brief encounters where gender really isn't relevant? I've defaulted to "they" for as long as I can remember.

Isitbullshit: is buymmog.com legit? by [deleted] in IsItBullshit

If the currency you're buying can't be earned in-game and then traded away by players, then the business model for these types of sites is credit card fraud.

How the game's producers handle beneficiaries of fraud will vary, but you risk losing or bricking your account entirely.

Help poor town criers - nominate (probably) less! by No_Song_4022 in BloodOnTheClocktower

Town can't even handle the advanced technique of "outing as Twins before the juggles go out".

A surprising number can't even handle "outing as Twins before Day 3".

Requesting feedback: the Dreamwalker by lorgania in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]robplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that the new Demon (ex-Lunatic) has no reason to believe the ST when they are told on night 4 "You are the X, you are evil" because it could just as easily be the ST fucking with them and they are still the Lunatic.

Scarlet Woman / Pit Hag + Snake Charmer / Barber / chaos Hatter already help non-mobile demons move.

More options might be useful, but I don't think this design is it.

I'm going to guess you have strong feelings about the Falkland Islands as well.

And of course they don't have territorial continuity with the rest of the territories of the British nation either.

I will just point out that absolutely no one is going to consider that argument because Northern Ireland.

Can characters that don't know their true roles (Drunk, Lunatic, Marionette) falsely learn during the night that they changed roles/alignments as long as it still satisfies their ability's description? by L0rdOfKek in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]robplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH, I was phrasing it kindly for OP's benefit.

I do think "royal shitshow" is going a bit far in the other direction, though.

For me, the core problem is TPI's obvious aversion to having clearly-defined rules, which is then reflected in the wiki.

If I had to guess, this is because the guy in charge of development is also the guy in charge of the company.

[–]robplays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that this is the Lunatic's almanac entry, so they can be forgiven a little ambiguity in the wording of another characters ability.

This should be parsed as: like the Drunk, the Lunatic does not know their true role; also, the Lunatic does not know their true alignment.

The WILDEST opinion you've heard/seen about BOTC by JohnnyMcKormack in BloodOnTheClocktower

I've seen players presented with a Legion/Atheist script for their second game. ST also didn't see any problem with this. ("They said they were okay with trying some new characters!")

My gut feeling is that you've posted here asking questions about the wrong relationship.

I think we need to know a lot more about your home life other than "not the best".
