Becca is awesome I'm glad to see her on a zoom version!

Pablo Amaya

Excited thank you! No public one as well this month tho?

Andrew Farmer

The public in person games were a limited 6 episode series backed on kickstarter Until they do another kickstarter it will just be the patreon monthly games

Pablo Amaya

Ah, I’d just assumed there would be public zoom ones to replace the in person ones until a new kickstarter. Thanks for the update!

Chas Evans

I did not realize you were still doing the monthly Patron games post-season! That's very exciting!

Daniel Bjørge

The only reason i sign up for Patreon is getting to be called a "fuck" by John. I truly makes my month!

Will Seamon

That Savant info on day 2 of the second game was incorrect. The correct statement there was supposed to be that one of Becca’s neighbors was selected by a Townsfolk the night before, referring to Dom selecting Sullivan, but Dom was an outsider.

Jamison Giles

I feel like wanting to execute STs on day 1 because you don't like playing in an atheist game isn't a great attitude to have, personally. You still get to play the game, but you are on the lookout for clues as to whether your fellow players or your storytellers are lying to you.

Jeybee

Sam seems maybe not a good fit for this game unfortunately.

Xavexgoem

Thank you for the video!

Lian Vervoort

However the other statement was true, as Sam did choose an evil player in the night. Just not for his ability, but to barber swap.

Scar Gb

thats not the only reason they did it, that was just them joking about it. there where enough things that made people believe it was a real athiest game. the investigator showing Tilly or Dom as Baron was a massive clue for both of them because if Tilly was evil she was a minion not a demon so wouldn't have died. if the investigator was drunk then tilly cant be the drunk and if the investigator isnt the drunk then one of them should be a minion which makes no sense if you are either of them. there where also 2 empaths and everyone felt good about eachother

Kalle

Ben ready getting close to the mic whilst Laurie calls him professional ✨✨

No Name

I don't mind getting two shorter games in a video

John

Also a bit of meta that expert mode introduce Legion and the Atheist, and the belief was that as a result, they were either playing a Legion game or an Athiest game, and they were able to get, what they believed to be sufficient evidence that it wasn't a Legion game. I think it was Holly killing Tilly that really convinced people, since that verified that Holly was the slayer, and that the game rules were being broken. I think if Athiest had been around in the rule set for a while they might not have been so quick to expect an Athiest game/less likely to believe Tilly.

Pablo Klimek

Tilly getting the atheist token was unlucky for the storytellers. She's not the type to bluff atheist.

Elucify 𑁍

amazing game :) i want to see laurie play again

rojowo

You should've made the "still here" link present on patreon and not just YouTube. It just feels like a weird wall against the patreon subscribers who are also the only people who could access the link and video in the first place

Daniel Taylor

A bit off-putting for me to have a relatively new guest like Chris (who I actually like to see play these games) make fun of the patrons who complained about the brief BOTC content.

Matilda Renman

I couldn't stop breaking up at the "enjoy your ten minute video, idiots" bits lmfao. you can really tell when this was filmed, love it

Matilda Renman

genuinely, for april fool's, you guys should upload a five minute game with lots of fanfare. would be absolutely hilarious. Loved this ep - the first game was so unfortunate in who got which token, because it probably would've been amazing had it played out, but I think so many just got the exact right (or wrong, depending on how you look at it) role for this group to figure out atheist. Holly with slayer, tilly with atheist, blair with investigator... They're not the kinds of people you immediately think would bluff their respective roles. But it's still impressive on the whole group to still figure it out so fast! Talk about trusting the social cues :p

Adam Ferris

It feels since forever that the evil team won!

danstan

sam see is painful to watch

Steven Scott

I don't want to pile on Sam here. I like him, and he has good chemistry with the others. He does remind me of Blair though when she first started playing, in that he just needs to work on his bluffing when he is evil because right now it seems pretty obvious. He also kind of got screwed in this game with doing an empath bluff while sitting next to a recluse, and then Ivan getting capped on day one. I still had a good time though, and maybe next time he will get 'em.

John Gracys #1 Fan

I got to be honest... Sam is the most annoying person on this... to the point I may even stop watching? I'm sorry to say... but he's cringey and takes away the enjoyment of the game.

Matilda Renman

Yeah agreed, I really don't get why people are being dicks to the guy. This just feels like a skill/experience difference, most of the cast has been playing for years and Sam strikes me as someone who doesn't have as much experience (at least being evil, which is so much more nervewracking lol). Of course there's going to be play differences there! And that's fine, although I feel for the guy, but I think this is a good group to learn in because it's welcoming and forgiving which is exactly what newcomers need: To be allowed to learn what the best strategies are and how to improvise in this incredibly complicated game. I think the NRB people excel at that kind of welcoming vibe, and it's so beautiful to see in a field like board gaming, which has been plagued by accusations of gatekeeping and elitism for decades now. Unlike parts of this comment section, which seems to think newcomers should begone lest they make a "bad" play, and that they deserve to be ridiculed for it. Jesus christ, go outside and touch some grass and stop saying mean things to people you don't know. It's really not that hard to not say mean things.

ElloryQueen

I love Sam! He's not any worse at it than some other players, so it balances out.

NihilismRacoon

Geez so much hate for Sam just for being a newbie as if we didn't watch every NRB regular start playing awfully at BotC too

Paul Thomson

I really like Becca, would love to see her back in the future.

Lee Dellbridge

He's not a newbie he plays a lot elsewhere. But sometimes you just have a bad game.

Lee Dellbridge

If they didn't a lot of people would leave as they were the main reason many signed up to the Patreon to start with lol.

Haley

So weird to see people being so mean to Sam, if you don't have anything nice to say shutting up is free! I love having the mix of experiance on the games, it makes it more fun to watch. I thought this was great!

Micah Newby

Without fanfare. We'll be suspicious of the fanfare

Micah Newby

Right?! As a WrestleTalk fan I was watching some of the other stuff because I knew some of the people, and honestly I don't think at this point I would leave personally, but I admit that Clocktower was the sole reason I started PAYING for the privilege. Oh, and now I watch ALL the other stuff🤣

Darren Foster

It is definitely one of Daddy Ben's quirks as a Storyteller. His Savant information is often extremely difficult to unwind to the point that even with all the information it can take awhile to work out which is the true statement (as both can initially seem true/untrue). It probably helps being able to do that when running a Drunk/Poisoned Savant as you are already well practiced in misleading statements.

John Gracys #1 Fan

Totally agree... He is awkward and doesn't fit into everyone else which gels.

John Gracys #1 Fan

100% agree. Sam has tested me... I've thought about leaving this amazing page because of that guy. Everyone else is awesome, but he's a bad apple.

noob2568 /John Smith

I really dont even see how he played that badly tbh no one really suspected him at all for ages.

John Gracys #1 Fan

I don't have "nice" things to say about him, but I can still exercise my right to say he's the most annoying person they have. People can say what they want, don't hate on us because it's true... he's cringey.

Hannah Balkovec

lol at “John Gracys #1 Fan”calling someone cringey.

Lindsay M.H.

I was behind and playing catch up. That means I saw all the Sam comments before watching and I....don't get it. At all.

Burgundy

Hey gang so the cast members read these comments. Probably don't be a jerk <3

Matilda Renman

Yeah, this comment section is insane. No wonder so many people no longer take part in these videos anymore - I wouldn't either, if it meant opening myself up to this kind of stuff for playing extremely normally! For god's sake, we have people genuinely making arguments against "if you don't have anything good to say, say nothing at all" - what is going on here??? Jesus H Christ, people.

Matilda Renman

And here's me exercising my right to say that you're a bellend. Think of how much more pleasantly this conversation could have gone if you hadn't "exercised your right" to be a jerk to people for no reason. We could have been talking about, say, a board game instead. Oh, to think of what could have been.

Jellythorpe

Almost every single game on day 1, Mara: 'Hi (blank) I'm sorry about this, we haven't really spoken'. She could be unintentionally nominating a virgin playing evil, or accidentally get the saint killed. She does this whether she's playing for good or evil and it never backfires 😅 True chaotic neutral

T Pearson

Don't get the Sam hate from a mechanical point of view. He played this game perfectly reasonably based on the options available. I understand that he's quite quirky and it can be irritating. But variety is the spice of life and we wouldn't want it getting stale. Also on a related note, I'd love to see Isaac come back.

Andrew

I think I have the reverse opinion. I don't like people ragging on his personality he doesn't seem like a bad guy at all just quirky which is fine. But in terms of playing the game I think some of it was a little confusing. When he was executed at the end, he was so okay with it that everyone was shocked that he was the demon. It was such a low-key whatever humdrum attitude. You can bluff that you don't mind dying but give a reason why you shouldn't die! You're the demon! Also turning his last alive minion into the barber so that they'll have to die to benefit which erases any chance of using the ability as an escape hatch (and on top on it they could've been the poisoner instead!) was a bit out there for strategy.

Triof

I suspect a lot of it is because people find Sam quirky, so his decisions receive extra criticism, as they're trying to find a way to justify why they don't like him. I know I personally find him very hard to watch, and I have no idea why, he just doesn't seem to gel with the rest of the cast in my eyes - but clearly they like him, so maybe it's just something that doesn't come across on video?

Mal Radagast

you know what's cringey is your annoying comments. get bent, ya cabbage!

Avery Auric

Hard disagree. I like what he brings to the group, but hey we're all entitled to our opinion.

Avery Auric

What makes BOTC great is the different playstyles and personalities. You might treat it as a tryhard win at all costs kind of game, but maybe you just aren't a good fit for a group that prioritizes fun.

stephen Hopkinson

has he said to Chris he thought that holly was Alsahir want that power on the evil side

Tomas

Everyone is hating on Sam but Ivan played that second game so poorly? If he had just said that his evil ping was on Jon he would have acted consistently and bought evil another day because his ping wouldn't have been dead. His bluff was all over the place and it was quite obvious he was a dead evil by day 2.

Tomas

Like no hate everyone has a bad game, but I think Sam was playing quite a good game while Ivan just tanked it

Kathleen Goetting

Chris is so effing good at this game that I always feel compelled to comment on it. I also feel compelled to say Sam is such a delight and Ivan is also really fricken good at this game and a joy to watch. NRB you pick really great people for your content!

Kathleen Goetting

Okay wow I posted my first comment halfway through the video and before scrolling the comments. After finishing both of those things, just wanna say how grateful I am for all of you and everything each one of you brings to the table! My favourite part about this channel is getting to watch the variety of playstyles, personalities, and experience levels, and how they all interact. It would be SO BORING if everyone played the same, spoke the same, acted the same, etc.

Kaetê

This was so fun to watch, and poor Sam, he doesn't know what to do when he's nominated hahah he kinda just waits

Travis Joiner

Was yelling at the screen for Sam to pick Ivan 3rd on that first night of picks. When your minion dies that early you should almost always pick them and let that player play outed evil cuz...what is town going to do? Waste another day killing him? And then when he's like "I wanna pick two people who want to live and Chris so they all die, but wait I can't cuz that would screw his bluff" me: SO PICK IVAN! He'll say live, they all die. Or one of the town said die and you get your minion back. Woulda been huge.

Budris

Ken's first Alsaahir guess... wowwww

Ashley Caveda

I signed up just last week for all the Patreon-exclusive BotC episodes! :)

Xip

@Scar Gb - It's worth pointing out she could still be legion, which can register both as minion and as demon.
