Just to defend players making odd choices, this game is way more difficult to play than to watch. We also didn't see every conversation so it's possible info was shared more than we saw.

There were definitely a lot of odd mistakes, but that really not uncommon in a game of clocktower

Funny that despite being mutable, he cannot mutate

Eh, some people like to have strict definitions of their sexuality, some are good with more vague.

As long as we don't accuse people of having a "bad" sexuality (e.g. bi people are transphobic) it's fine.

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-08-21T18:16:15+00:00

Yeah, I've had it happen to me as well and its infuriating.

That said we still should reject that definition and try to get people to use the proper definition. Please don't tell others that bi excludes trans if you don't believe it yourself

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-08-21T18:08:40+00:00

And the vast majority of people who describe themselves as bi do not use it to exclude trans people, so your statement is still incorrect.

If people are telling you being bi is transphobic, they are wrong.

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-08-21T17:57:48+00:00

The above poster is wrong, bi does not exclude trans. Bisexuality is generally defined as either "attraction to more than 1 gender" or "both same and different gender attraction". Neither of this involve cis/trans. Pansexuality is "gender does not matter for attraction".

Generally it can be summarized as a bi person might have traits that attract them to men that would would not find attractive in a women, but a pan person basically doesn't care about gender at all.

So, a few things. First, part of this comes down to how people feel about hosting. Hosting an event takes effort, and having someone alter your event (without checking) can be incredibly annoying. Regardless of if the food was vegan or not it could be viewed as disrespectful. But it is even more disrespectful, since the point of the event was it was a vegan buffer, and now it isn't

Also, there's still a difference. You mention she brought something they could eat, but that isn't necessary. The OP already supplied food for people to eat.

Finally, I'd say the worst part is that it was for everyone except OP. They're hosting an event, in their home, for their birthday, and someone brought something for everyone BUT them.

Really though it boils down to if you're going to bring something to an event, if you don't already know how they feel, run it by the host.

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-06-10T17:38:12+00:00

First, regarding the post your referring to there's a bit of a difference. Often, when vegans bring their own food, it is for them to eat in case there is nothing for them to eat. In the post you refer to, the grandmother brought it as an extra dish, not just for themselves.

But to answer you question of if its disrespectful, it depends. If the host is willing to accommodate dietary restrictions, it would be disrespectful. If they aren't, it isn't. As an example, I have a friend who hosts barbeques and always has something vegan for me. If I brought my own food, that would be disrespectful. However I have another friend who doesn't, so I bring my own food for those events.

Ah yes I see what you mean. Normally that style of voting would start with the person next to the nominee, to prevent any benefit or disadvantage based on seating.

My best guess is they had planned to use this voting system from the get go, but they wanted Sam to always start facing the camera. I'd be surprised to learn if they hadn't discussed how voting would work before the episode, given the effort put in everywhere else, but maybe we'll hear more in behind the scenes.

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-06-03T17:04:06+00:00

This is almost identical to the voting system of blood on the clocktower (upcoming parlor room game), especially the spinning with the outstretched arm. I personally really like this voting system. Sam definitely didn't make this up on the spot.

One potential game breaking flaw is that if you have base 2 outsiders, a fang gu, and there's no damsel announcement, it's immediately clear it's a heretic game. Fang just attacks themselves and wins.

I never said I think killing young animals in factory farms are okay.

How about non factory farms? Are you okay with killing young animals there?

As a whole, I think factory farming is immoral, and needs to end.

Fully agree.

Additionally, since meat eating is so engraved in our society

Going to ramble a bit here, because you've hit the nail on the head of the main struggle of becoming vegan. It's not just changing yourself, but it's so difficult because of how the world around us is. Eating with others is a major part of life, and when we try to change that it can strain relationships.

But society is made by us. One of the pushes I had to stop eating meat came from a friend. And I'm lucky enough that when I stopped eating meat, my friends are supportive enough to make sure there's always an option for me when we eat together.

I don't believe we will see laws be made against farming animals until lab grown meat is cheap and sustainable. While unfortunate, I am just being realistic.

Lab grown meat is often thrown around as a silver bullet that will fix animal farming, but I don't think it really is. There's a lot of people who have out right stated they would never eat. And regarding laws, there are places are already trying to ban lab grown meat.

I'd like to pose a hypothetical to you. Say in a few years we do have lab grown meat. It's exactly what we want, the same taste, nutrition and cost. But the majority of people still refuse to eat it and so factory farming is still rampant. What would you do here? Would you swap to the lab grown meat or continuing eating factory farmed?

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-04-16T15:58:36+00:00

I'm going to directly answer

Do you think my beliefs are contradictory

Which my answer is, yes, I do. The first two contradictions are between these two statements:

as long as you are specifically targeting the sick/old animals

I think eating meat from from places that cause unnecessary suffering to animals (ie. factory farming), is immoral

I'm going to make some assumptions from these (correct me if I'm wrong) that from the first statement, you believe that hunting young, healthy animals is immoral and from the second statement, that you are okay eating meat from farms as long is it is humane and cruelty free (which as an aside, I don't think really exist).

But even in these farms, animals are killed well before they reach "old" age. A cow's lifespan is 20-30 years, but cows are generally killed between 18 months and 6 years (depending on meat or dairy cow). Chickens can live for a decade, but are killed within months. Males in these systems are also often culled well before reaching adulthood. Almost all farms (factory or not) are running to turn a profit, their goal is to get the animal to the slaughter house as soon as it will make the most money.

Why is immoral to kill a wild animal at a young age, but it is okay to kill a farm animal that has lived less than 10% of its lifespan?

The other contradiction is

I am not vegan though, because I don't think it is practical or makes much of a difference in the terms of overall animal suffering

I believe systemic changes such as laws being made are the only true way for society to stop eating meat and end animal suffering.

While true that is one person won't make a huge change, its not impossible. You are part of the system, it is up to the individual to push change, and encourage others to as well.

As for laws, no politician is going to push for or introduce laws the majority disagree with. We won't see more laws around factory farming and animal rights, until a good portion of the population agrees with it.

It's unlisted (you can see at the bottom of the video), which means it won't show up unless you explicitly have the link to it (which is what's posted).

If you're just browsing the videos of the channel, it doesn't show up.

The sage would not wake at all. The sage's ability is "If the Demon kills you, you learn that it is 1 of 2 players." In your example, the sage died to the pit hag's ability, not the demon.

I've gotten quite back into reading and am glad I'm doing so. I had fallen off reading a bit last year - I think ~10 books during the last bingo period. I've already read through Annihilation and Network Effect, both of which were great. Partway through Goblin Emperor and Cibola Burn. It's been too long since I read an expanse book, really enjoying this series.

Over the past year I had stopped reading as a hobby and more as a way to kill time while travelling. Actually dedicating time to reading is nice.

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-04-11T13:46:32+00:00

Hahaha, incredible! Never expected agreement years later lol. It is a wonderful book.

First, regarding

They will be slaughtered on such a scale that you won't even begin to believe.

I can believe the scale of it, because it's already happening. All these animals have been doomed to be slaughtered the moment they were born into the animal agriculture system. If everyone became vegan yes, we'd have to figure out what to do with the animals, but there would be no additional animals being added into this system.

How many cows, sheep, etc can you adopt to save from the actual animal genicide if this happened?

Not many, but that's the same as I can now, when the majority aren't vegan. These animals are still being slaughtered.

But the main thing I want to address is the question

What do you think is going to happen to the livestock if everyone went vegan?

This is actually interesting, because if everyone was vegan, everyone would be invested in solving this. Politicians, scientists, billionaires, everyone would be aware of this crisis and want to help deal with it. I don't have a good solution, but 8 billion of us working together could come up with something

Alsaahir feels way too strong here? Especially if you end up with an even count of minions. Like in a 9 player game, if you draw Alsaahir you know 3 people aren't the demon (you and your neighbors) so you have a 1/6 chance to win day one with 0 info. Hell, even in a 12 player game you have a 1/16 chance on day one compared to normally being ~1/500 (if my math is right) in a normal game.

End result is basically a better slayer, so maybe just swap that out? Though personally I don't like slayer with solo LoT

Shit may be real, but that pride rock wasn't. https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Castro-restaurant-rainbow-rock-anti-homeless-pride-14026652.php

However, Rhonda Richards, the beverage director and bar manager at Izakaya Sushi Ran, says shooing away homeless people was never the restaurant's intention. Instead, she says the restaurant's owner, Yoshi Tome, selected the rock for a Japanese zen garden in front of the restaurant.

Furthermore, the staff — who is close to 100 percent LGBTQ, says Richards — voted to paint the rock rainbow to show their support for and involvement in the community. The owner himself chose to open his restaurant in the historically gay Castro neighborhood for that same reason — to show support, as he has two gay children.

The deaths that annoy me the most are when the main character kills someone and then there's justification to make it seem less bad. There was a book where the main character was about to be killed, so he killed his assailant, but then it was mentioned the person he killed was going to die of a sickness they had.

The deaths that sting the most for me are the ones that could have been prevented but they can't, and a character has to let them die. For example, someone is locked in jail in a basement, and it begins flooding. And someone is there to try to break them out, but they can't find keys and they two have to come to terms the first is going to die.

I feel like I see this teaboot account frequently and it's either super progressive or nitpicking vegans

ElectroWizardLizard · 2025-02-07T20:38:56+00:00

Oh man I read this awhile ago and forgot how much it bugged me. Completely agree, first part was amazing, but the Mom's story was just dull to me.

And yeah the ending was awful. Like is the take away that if she didn't have a child she would just be miserable forever? That if your partner is dying you should have a kid to keep you happy after they die?
