Here's the script: https://imgur.com/a/Cc4elqZ

It's time for something a little different...

If you'll indulge us a short while, we're going full ouroboros and playing a BOTC homebrew script that's ALL ABOUT US, begging the question, if you're the Sullivan, then who am I??

Releasing this a little earlier than usual because, in case you didn't know, an In-Person episode will be dropping on the YT channel at 6pm. WHAT A BIG CLOCKTOWER DAY.

i kind of want the json and stuff to run this online lol

Lee Dellbridge

Holy....I've just read the script. Mind melting lol but I'm sure it will be fun and hopefully can be used multiple times.

Dradkyn

The editing is always insanely good. They make such a good story

Miguel

Absolutely delightful

Samuel Wood

What an absolute mess. Amazing. We're gonna need another go at this script ;)

Jacyn Corbin

As experimental characters, a lot of these were actually really interesting. I’d like to see some of the more chaotic groups try to break this script, then hand it back to NRB with the kinks all worked out. The new mechanics really made the players return to the basics in an entertaining way.

John Adey

Yes yes yessss I'm excited for this

Vexleth

OMG please play this script again it was amazing!

Oliver Dodwell

Clocktower content is the best content

Rosa Hübenskjold

You guys HAVE to play this script again! Maybe get daddy Ben to work on its faults, but please! This is one of the funniest videos you've ever done.

Mike Hughey

"Of course, it's company policy never to imply ownership in the event of a Sullivan. Always use the indefinite article 'A Sullivan,' never 'YOUR Sullivan.'"

Stew Sizer

Wow, near 3 hours and the characters\!!!!!! :)

Colm Mallon

Incredible game! So much fun, well done team

Crysarcher

It seems that Jon and Tom were ill during the shoot, I hope you both feel better soon! Of course you must have recorded this way earlier but still, being ill is not nice and I hope it went away quick.

Matthew

Dom is amazing. More Dom. Dom is the hero of all these games. (I’m not Dom)

Amy

Two NRB BOTC in one day? Yes please!

Hugh G Rection

This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen and I love it

Josh Mc

This was amazing 👏

Lucifer4077

Oh man I love Adam's impression of Canadians xD

Meredith Roman

This script is a little rough around the edges but there are so many mechanics I love. My sincere congratulations to the author for creating something so fun! I love the sock puppets. I want sock puppets added to official BotC. Laurie is great, but probably shouldn't exist on a script where evil can see the grimoire. Tom is overpowered, since it's both an info gathering and ability resurrecting(ish) ability. Maybe have the story tellers visit every night that both statements are true up until the player decides to have a dead player regain their ability for the day? Dan is flawless and so much fun, especially on a script where townsfolk can be evil and demons/minions can register as townsfolk. Father Benjamin needs to be able to do something cool. My initial misread of Blaire's power is entertaining and I want to see it played: You start knowing a good player. If you are drunk or poisoned on the first night, they become evil but still register to you as good. I also want to see Ken, Rosie, and all of the other demons in played.

Jake Mears

I agree, I love the script, but it seems like it's still just a first draft and not the final product. I also thought the combo of the the Laurie and the Tempest was an odd choice. And when I read the Tom I almost immediately thought of multiple game related statements that I could make that could be used to cheese it.I'd probably reword it to be a bit more specific or tightly restricted. Maybe somrething like require the be statements be related to the current game, not just the game in general and maybe make it so they have to be facts not just statements since an opinion would count as a statement and would be hard to be called wrong. Also, on a more NRB lore related note, I'd probably have made Blair and Brooke the Evil Twin counter parts, since that is one of the oldest running jokes I can think of on the channel.

Astral_doe

This is so funny! Would love to see this script played again

Shirini

why doesnt tempest mention what mara told him when holly tells all her pete infoooo. Good would have won.

Sam

I'd love to see a Ken role where a good player has to be Mad they are the demon.

OzLo11

This feels like the script was made to anger Brooke… worked as well

Jakob Bräuer

Haven't watched the video yet, just looked at the script. Great idea and probably perfect for one game but on a first glimpse there seem to be some problems with the script. A lot of characters are standard characters with a small change. Jon and Father Benjamin read like outsiders (detrimental abilities). Some characters seem to work differently than intended. Killing 2 players as Carley is already OP and since you don't have to use "once per game" abilities, the 2nd part of her ability is just another upside (yeah, Carley is OP in RL but this is too much). The public game related statements by Tom could be something like "there are 9 alive players", so you have an even more powerful Gossip (more upside, less downside, better confirmation) that can additionally be played as some kind of professor. Also, the balance seems to be a bit off. Too much drunk/poison protect vs drunk/poison sources. Too few good information roles. Btw. is there a rivalry between Blair and Tempest I'm not aware off? Their abilities read like that and he is (besides Rosie) the only source of 1st night drukenness.

Liam Kirby

Character power for The Laurie should be "Your team cannot win"

Justin Hesketh

Wheres the Teri character, the towns real champion. lol. Have to say hilarious though well done.

Zsofi Szabo

This was such an entertaining and fun game, I would really love to see this script played again for sure!

Larry DuPreez III

The patrons are definitely being spoiled this month. Pretty awesome exclusive game this month. Also, poor Maanuv getting jobbed out early on his first game

Joseph Cloud

Is there a more readable version of the script?

Matt Clemson

I feel the Teri should be a Fabled character, never actually directly present, but always hanging over the script. As a random attempt at an appropriately Teri ability: "The first player who successfully makes the Storyteller laugh each day gets double votes for the rest of the day"

DoctorRickyDicky

i wanna see more of this script but poor tempest

Jerrod Gruber

I think the script has some balancing issues that need some working out, but I do like that so many of the characters are so OP. There's something fun about a game where everyone is even more powerful than normal, even if it doesn't seem that way with balancing.

Nate Mace

That script was pretty awful but it was a lot of fun and gave me a lot of laughs!

David McGill

i find it funny how holly was the one to say "it so weird for a demon to be so eager to vote themselves" thats the holly as a demon m.o. haha

MKEBearPaladin

I really enjoy and appreciate these videos. So thank you!

MKMXM

Half an hour in... This is a hate crime against Adam Blambied and I love it. Sorry Adam.

Scott Byrne

I think he either forgot or got so turned off by his ability he completely tuned out and just assumed Mara had lied.

Scott Byrne

Father Benjamin should really be an outsider.

Brian Denton

I must say I like the Sock Puppet idea. Rather than being drunk and simply having no effect on the game state, you are guaranteed to have either the desired effect or the complete opposite effect — and you have no idea which.

Caledronius

That was a delight to watch! I love that you included the Sock Puppets!!!

Matthew Moses

I would like to see a couple more games with this script!

CallistoWarriorQueen

This was so fun to watch. I felt so bad for Tempest and I could feel Holly's frustration at not being listened to through my screen lol

Simfers

That was really funny and entertaining, but I felt really bad for (the actual) Tempest. Poor guy had NOTHING to do all game. Must've been torture.

Jenny Mcduckerson

To be fair, he could've done a lot during the game. He just didn't really seem all that invested at all. He had a role that knew one evil player right off the bat and then Mara told him she was the Laurie. That meant when she died, he knew half of the evil team. Yet rather than use any of that information, he just sat there and didn't really talk unless spoken to.

Nick Smith

Jon, whose social reads are so bad, he once famously read himself as not the demon when he was, once again defends a demon on the stand by saying he thinks socially they read good. Lol

Simfers

That IS entirely fair. Good point.

Marco Talin

I'm trying to open the imgur link of the script, but I'm getting an error. May I ask for an alternative source?

Class Thoreau

I don't understand why Tempest willingly takes himself out of the game. Non-information-gathering? Almost no one on this script is. People are still talking, you can still make social reads, give your thoughts, vote, share info. Dead or "useless" characters don't mean the player can't help their team immensely.

Angel and Gaz

I also really want a Father Benjamin T-Shirt!

Matt Clemson

To come back to this old comment, I've just been browsing the character library and discovered the existence of the Traveller character "Deviant" - I'm amused to discover that getting a reward for 'being funny' has already been encompassed in a character!

Erin

Unfortunately, I discovered and binged all of BOTC last month so waiting a whole month for a new episode is driving me crazy!

Dan Morewood

One of the best in a long time! Good job all!

Michael Lloyd

Anyone know where aprils BotC is?

Crapoleon

What a leveller. It says a lot that the 3 best/most experienced players in Ken, Holly and Patters were all in the good team and they lost. The logic game was nullified to an extent. Amazing game!!

Emerson Emser

I think the Jon's ability should be "Each day, ask the Story Teller a question. They must lie to you. You register as drunk or poisoned, even if not." to capture his normal paranoia.

Player13

The greatest power as a townie is knowing youre a townie, and gathering info. And even better if youre alive you have the power of nominations. Very much wish he played it with a bit more effort. Everyone was so sus of Brooke that if he outed Mara too, Good team woulda won that handily

Lotus

This is a brilliant idea. It also has the fun quirks of receiving true answers when drunk/poisoned/in a Vortox game which makes anything you get that seems true even more unbelievable if anything.

Noony x33

havent finished the episode (42:02) but I just knowwwwww Ken is gonna solve this game. Go Ken!

Cam

I hope they stop inviting Tempest. I have nothing against him as a person, but he completely gave up in this game (when he could have easily helped Good win) then he complained about having nothing to do for 4 hours.

alanna001

No way i love tempest

Stuartdouglas19 .

This is simultaneously silly, confusing, brilliant and hilarious at the same time.

Stuartdouglas19 .

Surely the Brooke and Blair abilities should be 'the first person to confuse you with the other one becomes drunk'

ColdFear22

Dom's case for why they should execute Sully at the end was absolutely terrible and they all voted anyways. He was not concise at all. Said Um every other word and rambled too long. Seemed obvious.

Steven Scott

New Town Folk: Ghost Lawyer. When you die, you get to vote as if you were still an alive character.

Mike

I actually love that. Your ability is to freely vote while dead.

Tullewolf

or maybe while you are alive dead players can vote

Michael Hollis

Tempest's defence that he is not evil usually isn't a sturdy enough defence

Steven Scott

Thinking back on this, it is way too powerful as is. New Ghost Lawyer: If you are executed, you may vote as if you are still an alive player New Minion, Secret Dommunist: If you are executed, you get 2 extra ghost votes. If killed by the Demon, poison an alive townsfolk for the rest of the game.

Nicole Polzin

I love this script! Might be my fave! I wish they would play this version in person!

Leon Peulings

Not an hour in and I have a headache from laughing to much. Please to this again

Soluna Espinosa Pieb

Hope we see a version of this again! With adjustments made for how the cast has shifted, of course

Stevie Taylor

Yeah, unfortunately I agree. And just as another note, as watchers we love to see our twins do more bits about being evil/good, not sit there and sound very sad when saying his dad joke. Tempest complaining about having nothing to do is just silly. The thing he had to do was be funny and disrupt whoever he thinks the evil players are. And help with puzzles like Holly's sudoku. Having said all that, this could just be a learning moment for Tempest and someone skilled in the game gives him all the tips for playing the twins and play as the twins in a game on the side. People aren't static, and Tempest is cute.

Henrik Persson

Yeah I didn't feel sorry for him even slightly. Him just giving up because he got a weak role was the main reason good lost. Yes, this script is hot garbage and only fun because of who is playing it, but it's not about your role, it's about figuring out who the demon is.

Alejandro Alonso

Sully and Tempest lost the game by themselves. Tempest got such good info right at the start (and Mara hinted that fact at the end) but was so focused on "poor me got a shitty role" that he shut down and refused/forgot to mention his conversation with Mara and her being the Laurie. Sully, from his point of view, should be sure that the Demon had to be either Ken or Dom and didn't use his power on a 50% chance to stop the demon. And he misused it AGAIN when from his point of view Dom HAD to be the demon (Jon must be at worst a minion in this situation). Sully... xD.

Summer

The wild thing about this script is that, with Daddy Ben and Father Benjamin in play, the demon can kill Daddy Ben in the night and then simulate the demon having been killed, at which point if the town executes Father Benjamin, the town still loses because Father Benjamin would be the first one to be executed.

Adam Westaway

That sounds a bit too powerful. Maybe it should just be flipped. No one knows but while alive you only get one vote but then when dead you can’t repeatedly vote as if alive?

Bob

I think Father Benjamin being a "townsfolk" but working like an outsider is the joke. The meta is that he's not a member of nrb, but he's in all the clocktower videos. Unofficial member = outsider townsfolk.

Nic Best

I think Tempest (and Dan in other games) tend to try to solve the game solo, defaulting to trusting no one - and not really progressing beyond their first intuitions

Amber Smith

I have a couple suggestions for characters even though I'm years late. The Dom: every time you are nominated you must give a convincing rant on why you shouldn't be executed and why the person executing you is stupid or you automatically die (outsider) The Holly: if you are nominated but your defense saves you, at night select one person to die (minion) The Ken: at night, select three people. The storyteller decides which one of them dies (demon) The Laurie: each day, if you make two correct statements about people's roles, you are safe from death that night (townsfolk) The Mara: if you are "mad" that you're an outsider and die, youv learn which outsiders are in play and can protect one of them for 3 nights (townsfolk) The Blair: if you show a live cat to another player, you and they are safe from execution that day (townsfolk)

Random User

Summarizing some role ideas from the comments, and adding my own: Dom, Minion: Each day, if you have spoken the most words of anyone publicly, create a new Dom. The new Dom's alignment is also evil. Ghost lawyer, Townsfolk: While dead, can decide to take over someone's prosecution/defense once per day. Can also vote each night while dead (Steven's comment). Laurie, Outsider: Your team can't win. Your alignment changes to whoever interacts with you with their ability (so a Laurie must be drunk/poisoned to win). Your ability still functions while dead (or maybe not would be fun as well - based on Liam's comment). Jon, Townsfolk: "Each day, ask the Story Teller a question. They must lie to you. You register as drunk or poisoned, even if not." (Emerson's comment) Sullivan, Townsfolk: You must be mad about being your own character. If you break madness, you may be executed. Each night, pick a player. You learn their alignment (or maybe how many letters are in their role name). Ben Burns, Outsider: Each day that a player is not executed, the storytellers can execute one additional player.

Siobhan Mowat

Horrifying implications of the need to specify 'live' cat 🫠🤣

Ruth S

A Dom yes, but what about THE Dom :D

Ruth S

It’s slightly odd Tempest didn’t out Mara, Ken or Patters could probably have inferred which character Mara really was if he’d have brought it to the town square. Tempest does seem to be unlucky with the roles he seems to pull. Just as, if there’s a “silly” role, Sullivan often seems to get that one. Or if there’s an evil one, Holly or Dom seem to always get those.
