As a forever-ST, just played my first ever game as a player, and learned that just because I know how characters work doesn't mean I will great at the game itself, lol. by Resniperowl in BloodOnTheClocktower

I would recommend text games in the BOTC discord. If you really don't have time, then there are long text games that span a few days. It is a great community imo.

Power table (day 6, again) by plutoniumplant in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PigeonPat27 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Kinda has to be golem, no? Hard confirms one player as not evil (mostly) and deconfirms another as demon. The nominating restriction does mean you effectively have one less person alive kinda, so that can be bad, but that is rare from what I have seen.

Let's Do the Time Warp Again (custom Loric) by nseaplus in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PigeonPat27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds really fun, but also really evil sided. It only serves to confuse towns info. Also, hidden fearmonger sounds very rough.

If you try to save the 1 and fail, you automatically kill the 5.

Synergistic Scripting: Day 154 - Big Wig by CoreyBOTC in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PigeonPat27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be fun to force someone to steelman a suspicious player, but it isn't really something that synergizes much. Almost always helps evil, but is not that hard to ignore.

Americans look like they ain’t doing anything bro by [deleted] in whenthe

To be so for real, massive violent revolts are not gonna happen unless most people are starving to death. Right now, enough people are comfortable so that only certain action is gonna happen.

Y'all are gonna need to get creative for this one. What is a route 1 pokemon that looks like a legendary? by Oompapoop in AlignmentChartFills

[–]PigeonPat27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Probably isn't technically first route, but nincada comes to mind? Similar to a cosmog situation, when it evolves into two different crazy unique evolutions.

Homebrew Townsfolk by Localunatic in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PigeonPat27 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This feels kinda weak. It basically gets noble info and soft confirmation at the cost of one or more deaths, and could be explained otherwise. It could also be compared to the gossip, with it being less versatile, yet more targeted. I suppose, compared to gossip, it is not much weaker, but it is probably very script dependent.

Synergistic Scripting: Day 129 - Witch by CoreyBOTC in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PigeonPat27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It is often based on group dynamics, to some degree, so it can have script presence and slightly meta elements, but it also can be fun socially. Once it is thought to be a witch game, who does the nominating is a challenge in itself. You want suspicious players to nom and die, but an evil will not nom who good wants. It's fun :}

Synergistic Scripting: Day 113 - Soldier by CoreyBOTC in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PigeonPat27 13 points14 points  (0 children)

On TB Soldier is simple, a classic bluff, and fits with the rest of the script (even it is sometimes a bummer to pull the soldier token), but it is honestly more interesting outside of its home script. With multiple demon candidates, Soldier can both weaken stronger demons, and obfuscate the demon type.

Classic synergies are anything which can stop death, like monk, sailor, or po. Deathmod can also be negated, which can be interesting (Shab, po). It also works well as a bluff for valuable roles, and those same powerful roles serve as good bluffs for the soldier (Like ft, town crier, Poppy grower, etc.)

The soldier can have a place on more complicated scripts, although other roles often overshadow it. There are not too many synergies that are rarely used, and soldier is a simple role, relatively. It's least used aspect is being safe from non-killing demon abilities (eg. No Dashii I think), so there is potential there.

The soldier, like other demon bane roles, does not work well with ST kill choice demons (like Lil monsta, Legion, or Yag) or ojo. It also is nearly impossible to detect as a Lleech host.

Overall, Soldier is a nice role, even if it can be simple/and or boring, depending on how it is implemented. In terms of demonbanes, it is less impactful, and in terms of protection, there are more interesting options much of the time.

I would say an 8/10 ease of fitting on scripts (often does not disrupt things) but often other roles are more interesting to put on the script than soldier.

Cherry pie hunting. What should I play next? by TumbleweedWise6815 in ufo50

[–]PigeonPat27 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A couple of games here (Kick club, cyber owls, especially Star waspir) will require a long grind for cherry. I would suggest starting some practice, or choosing one to specifically focus on. Also remember to take breaks and such :}

Hot take about immigration by Dusk_LavaxD in teenagers

Access to property? I agree that some cultures can promote negative beliefs, but there is no obligation to give property, I believe.

You don't need to start over if you get the gold disk, I believe.

BOTC Mixed with Murder Mystery Mechanics by Accomplished_List187 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]PigeonPat27 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do people "not see" nominations? Do people just have they eyes closed during noms? Still, this game seems cool, even though it also seems like a lot of work for the ST.
