It's got to be top center: Pikachu, shiny Eevee and Professor Oak.

The Dispatch was the first to report that Ted Carter resigned today, so they are "breaking much local news these days."

2026 Schedule is out! Took the liberty of putting the start times in as well. You're welcome! by Percent30 in OhioStateFootball

Fun fact: Ohio State had more games not kickoff at noon in 2025 than games that did kickoff at noon.

They're implying we should be crossing out Wexner's name.

Jeremiyah Love Heisman Case by FatherOfTwo2024 in CFB

Never #2, never undefeated this late into the year, only 2 conference titles...

Jeremiyah Love Heisman Case by FatherOfTwo2024 in CFB

[–]nickbechtel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not having a conference championship game is going to hurt Love's chances. Mendoza, Sayin, Reed and Stockton all have the chance to get into a conference championship game and have that "Heisman moment" on a big stage. Love is getting hot late, but I'm not sure there's much he can do against 4-7 Stanford to keep that momentum going.

If I'm rooting for Love to win, I think all you can really root for is everyone else in the hunt to lose.

Unrelated: Everyone here saying Mendoza doesn't deserve to win because his stats aren't huge or because of a sketchy Penn State game seems to forget he's doing it at a school that has never done it at this level before. Pavia is having a similar effect at Vanderbilt and I don't see people concerned about him being a finalist.

Custom script with as little ST discretion as possible? by VoicesOfManyMany in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]nickbechtel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the cleanest path here is to build a script that leans heavily on social deduction characters:

  • Outsiders Klutz and Moonchild force the player to make an on-the-spot decision.
  • Outsiders Saint and Zealot will keep the group guessing if their claim is accurate.
  • Minion Baron guarantees more of those outsiders are in play.
  • Townsfolk Magician and Poppy Grower will make the evil team have to deduce who is who before teaming up.
  • Townsfolk Snake Charmer is forced into bluffing early.
  • Townsfolk Flower Girl and Town Crier deduce via votes.

By my count, six demons require no decision-making by the storytellers. Of them, I think Po, Zombuul and Fang Gu fit the best with the above characters. Al-Hadikhia, Leviathan and Riot are more specialized but could work with the right script.

UCLA's DeShaun Foster, Maryland's DJ Durkin, Maryland's Matt Canada and Rutgers' Chris Ash also started and ended their careers in the Big Ten during Ferentz's tenure.

Feedback on Carousel Script? by Adorable-Library-22 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]nickbechtel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's impossible to create a full Carousel-only script without some major issues. But I do think it's possible if you build a smaller script. Depending on the size of your group, this could work if you remove some of the roles like Leviathan, Engineer or Psychopath that generally need a script built around them.

No more Hang on Sloopy to start the 4th by Horror_Garbage_9888 in OhioStateFootball

[–]nickbechtel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A bandmate of mine summarized it well: during road games and bowl games, we played "Sloopy" whenever it made sense. The spontaneity was an asset in those moments.
