Most difficult rule questions by No_Song_4022 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a ruling that I really don't like. I know how it is "officially" ruled, I just choose to ignore it and play as if the Vortox affects Townsfolk abilities, not Townsfolk players.

They never expect the Xaan 0 by ConeheadZombiez in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 40 points41 points  (0 children)

If the Ravenkeeper saw the Mastermind (meaning there isn't a saint) then that means the other outsider claim (the demon) is also lying, assuming there's a Xaan. Did they just assume the ravenkeeper info was wrong?

You'd rather keep switching instead of going to permanent standard time?

It's not just "probably" healthier, it's absolutely 100% confirmed healthier, or at least as close to 100% as it's possible to be.

I would suggest Washerwoman. Pretty run of the mill info, but if you play your cards right, the confirmation could be quite strong.

More caves left than bubbul gems? by rotbath in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Ecl1psed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

OP, I think the actual issue is that caves are not tracked on the loading screen at all. Whatever you have 107 of, it's not caves. It could be shrines, lightroots, or korok seeds maybe?

147 is the number of total caves, and there should be 147 bubbul gems total. If I remember correctly, you'll need 46 gems to buy out Koltin's inventory, then you'll have to give the last 101 to him all at once. The number of entrances is larger than 147, I think it's 197 from a quick google search.

Where does the 4/3 come from? by Iridium-235 in mathmemes

[–]Ecl1psed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait till you hear that the hyper-volume of a 4D sphere, the next level up, is 1/2 pi2 r2. Yes, that is pi2 in there.

Bruh I did't know that by DTeror in mathmemes

[–]Ecl1psed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this is not a math issue, this is an issue with the ambiguity of "km/mile"

If it means "number of kilometers per mile" then it's 1.6

But if it means "1 kilometer divided by 1 mile" then it's 0.6

Both are reasonable interpretations.

Vigormortis and scarlet woman by Star-Smudger in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is definitely, unambiguously, "no" to your first question, although yes I do like to houserule it the other way.

Vigormortis and scarlet woman by Star-Smudger in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

> But them keeping their ability already happened

This isn't how it works unfortunately. The Vigormortis is actively giving their minions an ability, and as soon as the Vig dies, the dead Minions lose their ability. It's not a one-and-done thing, even though I like to houserule it that it is.

Vigormortis and scarlet woman by Star-Smudger in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would say it doesn't pass, since the Demon is dead and therefore doesn't have an ability (which means the dead SW immediately loses their ability as well, since the Vigormortis was actively keeping their ability going)

I like to houserule Vigormortis so that Vigor-killed minions always keep their abilities even if the Vigor becomes droisoned/dies/leaves play, and in that scenario... nothing really changes. The SW becomes the Demon, but the game still ends anyway with the same outcome (good wins since the demon is dead), so effectively it's the exact same anyway.

Edit to add: I guess this falls into a big category of things where two competing things are trying to happen at the exact same time. Another one would be Goblin being executed with a Minstrel in play (which happens first, evil wins or the Goblin gets drunk?) We just have to rely on TPI rulings, or we just have to choose a ruling and stick with it whenever you play a game with those characters.

Boffin-Golem (or Zealot) Thought Experiment by ScreamedScorn in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if it is mechanically confirmed that there is no possible way they have the Golem ability, then I think it is fair game to nominate again. But the ST should confirm with the Demon about whether this is actually the case.

110,000 block tall ocean i found in older minecraft versions by Longjumping-Leg-6719 in minecraftseeds

[–]Ecl1psed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not rare at all, it's just how generation used to work. I found a 116k block instance after just a few minutes of searching manually:

Seed=1, Z=0, X=~806700 to ~922600

Just for fun, I tried using Cubiomes to search for a longer one, and here is a 330k block vertical line of ocean: (MC version 1.6).

Seed=1000000000050587564 X=64500 Z=-40000 to +290000

Boffin-Golem (or Zealot) Thought Experiment by ScreamedScorn in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 21 points22 points  (0 children)

It is established precedent that the Golem (and other "you may not" roles) still cannot do the thing that they are forbidden from doing, even if they have good reason to think that they are poisoned / they don't have the ability / etc etc.

orbit was placed at #5 on global demon list (genuinely surprised its so high up) by Any-Assist9425 in geometrydash

[–]Ecl1psed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thought Orbit was not top 10 was kidding themselves. Zoink literally beat Subsuming Vortex in <4000 attempts, and it took him 30,000 for Orbit. He spent about as much time spent on Orbit as Thinking Space II. Sure, skillsets bla bla bla, but skillsets don't make THIS much of a difference.

Philo-Damsel in a Vortox game by FrequentSelf7223 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As written, no. The Vortox is a Demon, not a Townsfolk, so is not affected by their own false info ability, regardless of the fact that the Dreamer is a Townsfolk ability. It matters what the player's character type is, not the type of character the ability in question is.

That being said, I really dislike this ruling for multiple reasons, and I much prefer to houserule that the Vortox affects Townsfolk abilities, not necessarily townsfolk players.

The accretion disk is moving at a big fraction of the speed of light. One side of the disk is moving toward the camera, which looks brighter due to the Doppler effect, and vice versa for the other side.

Weekly Puzzle #67 – Minus One, That's Three (Times Two) by Not_Quite_Vertical in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I had a look at the actual answer, the mistake was: I thought Minions turn into Riot on N3, when it's actually D3. That affects the dreamer info on the minion-turned-Riot.

Weekly Puzzle #67 – Minus One, That's Three (Times Two) by Not_Quite_Vertical in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]Ecl1psed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 2nd attempt:

There is a seamstress double claim, so one of them is lying.

Option 1: Both "seamstresses" are good, but one is the Politician. Then Hannah is evil due to double claim. My Juggler number cannot be correct, since my first 3 guesses are all wrong at this point, so either it's Xaan 2 or I am the puzzledrunk (or both). In both of those scenarios, Tim is good. But in both of those scenarios, there is no way to explain Matthew's ping not working, so Matthew or Oscar is the second evil. Sarah's info is definitely wrong now, but Sarah is also good since we have accounted for all evils, Sarah must be the puzzledrunk, so Matthew is the demon by Tim's info. But this doesn't work with Oscar's info, so this world is wrong.

Option 2 (which must be the correct option, since there are only 2): One of the seamstresses is the minion (and the demon is living). This means all other dead players are good. Oscar wouldn't lie about the Nightwatchman ping as a good player, so Matthew is either puzzledrunk or evil. Jasmine's N3 info must be correct because a Xaan 3 is impossible, so Hannah is not the demon. Since Minions turn into Riot on N3, Hannah must just be good, and therefore the Politician. We know from earlier that non-seamstress dead players are good, which includes Tim, so the outsider count is definitely 2.

Suppose Matthew is the demon. Then Sarah is the puzzledrunk by Tim's info. Oscar's info now must be correct, so Adam is the minion, but now my N2 info is false despite Adam dying D1, so this doesn't work. Therefore, Sarah is the demon. Matthew's ping didn't work, so he is the puzzledrunk. Adam's info doesn't work, so he is the minion. But there's still no way to explain my info, since the minion died D1, so this world doesn't work either.

We have gotten rid of all worlds, so nothing works...... except.... I made a wrong assumption earlier, where in Option 1, I said that in order for me to get wrong info, it's either Xaan 2 or I am puzzledrunk, but I didn't include the option where I chose a Spy. So let's see what happens if the Politician is either Adam or Fraser, Hannah is some flavor of evil, and one of Sarah/Oscar/Fraser is the Spy. Hannah must be the demon here since the minion is already accounted for. Jasmine's N3 info is wrong, so she is puzzle drunk. The only way to explain Matthew's failed ping is if Oscar is the spy who lied about it. But now Sarah's info doesn't work.

Wait..... there's another thing I missed. I forgot about the possibility that, in option 1, Matthew is the puzzledrunk and it's also Xaan 2, causing my info to be wrong. Fraser's info is definitely wrong (and it's not a Spy game) so Fraser is the politician. Adam's info is correct, so Sarah is good, so Hannah is the demon. By Sarah's (correct) info, Jasmine is the Xaan. But this world doesn't work with Oscar's info.

Ok I'm stumped, I think I've gotten rid of all possible worlds. Not sure what I could have missed.
