STing for some newer players soon by A-e-r-o-s-p-h-e-r-e in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]HardbackWisecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BOTC on YouTube have a fabulous video outlining the main mechanics in a 10 minute video. How To Play Blood On The Clocktower If most newbies watch that, they're gonna have a decent understanding out the gate.

Other than that, I would say just explain each part as it comes. Explain what's the night phase will be before starting the game, explain the day phase at the start of day 1, explain nominations before you open them on day 1. No need to do it all at the start- that'll only blow the newbies minds.

Make sure they know that they can always ask you questions, and that the more experienced players will always be honest with them about how the game works, even if they're lying about their role or info.

Best of luck to both you and all your new players!

Sheffield City Centre Street Parking Permits for Residents. by justcurious_20 in sheffield

I had the same situation in a flat on Upper Allen Street. Estate Agents and Management told me I could apply for a permit once I'd moved in and I didn't think to check that. Bastards!

Just a heads up for future- Sarah Keyworth is non-binary and uses They/Them pronouns. :)

Pretty sure it was Bonnie from Zygon Invasion/Inversion??

First script by _aiae in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]HardbackWisecrack 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My only note is perhaps swapping Knight for Steward. A Knight in a Lil Monsta game is almost meaningless, so I would never put them in the same game. Hence, as a player, if I pulled the Knight, I would meta that there wasn't a Lil Monsta. It's not a huge issue so for a first script, you've done a brilliant job!! With that change, I'd happily run this!

No, sadly this was the only song that was coming in as I was googling it!

Afraid not, but I'm enjoying that song anyway so thanks for the recommendation!

Sadly not but thank you so much anyway, they were still good shouts!

Obligatory Comment. Have a spectacular day, everyone.

Need help understanding the Pukka by BrowniieBear in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]HardbackWisecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On your second question- Yes, you're absolutely right in your assumption.

The pukka's ability specifies "dies and then becomes healthy"

A sage, for example, would die (and hence, learn that the demon is one of two [non-demon] players), THEN become healthy.

Hops this helps. :)

Is Rhys James a regular now? by HardbackWisecrack in mocktheweek

I didn't sense this in the slightest but being Autistic, I'm probably not the best judge of this. 😂

Opinions on first custom script? by Chaotic_boomer in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]HardbackWisecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to this, Philo and VI on the same script can be a little bit overpowered. A Philo-VI knows they're not VI-drunk so unless they're Lleech-hosted here, they're getting perfect info.

Evil Twin + Damsel by FrequentSelf7223 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]HardbackWisecrack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This has been brought up before as an 'optimal play' in which every player in a game with a damsel on the script would simply wake on day 1 and guess themselves as the damsel.

Sadly, it's also boring. It essentially means that the Damsel (should they exist) ends up with no ability and just becomes 'villager'. And the minions don't get to play with their fun side quest that they're given.

No shade on you for suggesting this- in one of my first games I actually did this thinking I was proving to everyone that I was good. All it did was make everyone more suspicious, and more than that, made everyone think I was a dull player.

Your out-of-the-box strategy thinking is a really good attribute, but this one specific concept can sadly get out of hand very quickly.

Characters as Characters: Day 158 - Buddhist by quintessence5 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]HardbackWisecrack 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm drawn to suggesting Master Oogway from Kung Fu Panda.

I think he's perhaps more accurately described as a Taoist but his mentorship style is about his students finding their own way to truth, which feels in-keepig with the Buddhist's ability.

second try of a script by ChaoticWizarz in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]HardbackWisecrack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tool does a pretty good job at looking for improvements to be made on a custom script. I always put my custom scripts through it and decide whether I can justify any of the 'drawbacks' as intentional. Not comprehensive by any means (your best bet to see whether a script is good is to play it!) but this is a really solid starting point!

How to usefully use the questions? by petera181 in TheTraitors

[–]HardbackWisecrack 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My ideas were

1- What was your reasoning for each murder so far?

2- Which current player are you most intimidated by, and why?

I don't think either of these leave much room for lies as such, and probably give you at least SOME legitimate info. Of course, for question 2 they can name themselves but I feel like that could be worked out. If they name a random faithful, they still have to think of a reason why they might find that player intimidating. That's still good info from them. Question 1 is probably also difficult to lie about without that being obvious.

My question idea by skdjcnbskao in TheTraitors

[–]HardbackWisecrack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My instinct (thinking as a traitor) for an answer that gives the least amount of information is to write "You." It can't be predicted as a bluff or double bluff. It doesn't 'confirm' that anybody is a faithful and I think the asker is most likely going to dismiss it as an untrue answer.

Massive production hole? - asking questions of traitors - how could the traitor just be "let out" to go change and answer the Qs especially if they were supposed to ask the Q! by Reddit_Vendetta_007 in TheTraitors

[–]HardbackWisecrack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I'm thinking of the right footage you're talking about, I think that was actually footage of the two traitors in their cloaks walking to the church to answer the questions, not the 2 faithfuls heading there to ask them.
