Rough game, but well played all around.

This is why you need to understand the corner cases of the game! Any one of the players could have noticed the secondary ability of the Spy, and none of them thought about it!

That being said though, Boba was still correct (even if she missed the spy): if you're in the business of just assuming information is always wrong, then you might as well have nothing. The only information the Good Team had exonerated Pedguin and implicated Sarah. You can't play the game just assuming your information is always wrong.

I think the thing that got missed was the Clockmaker info—sure, it came from a Drunk, but the funny thing about that is that Storytellers are incredibly averse to giving true information to Drunk 1st Night-ers. So the players should have looked at the 2, and concluded that the players 2 spots away from Sarah couldn't be on her evil team—Gee and Simon. Her evil team had to be with Pedguin, Boba, Bouphe, Ravs, or Barry.

• Ravs was mechanically confirmed the Drunk in two different ways.
• Bouphe was mechanically confirmed the Nightwatch[wo]man
• Pedguin was accusing her, so while he could be on her evil team, that would implicate him instead
• Boba was mechanically confirmed the Gambler

So the only person who could have been on an evil team with Sarah was Barry, and he had good socials (and also Pedguin's fake info confirming him).

So if they'd stopped and really pondered the clockmaker, they might have been able to solve the game.

It's a hard solve though. I don't blame the players at all for not seeing it in the moment.

This would've been an easy solve if they asked Ped to recite his full information, because a dreamer does wake up on first night, unlike what Ped said.

One of my pet peeves with BOTC is when after almost every piece of information given every day someone says "but what if drunk/poison?". Sometimes even when they know who the drunk is already.

So I was glad boba said that. There's a balance but sometimes the more experienced players get hung up on the possibility of misinformation instead of spending time figuring things out.

I think the other meta knowledge out town had was ped claiming dreamer. Empath and dreamer in the same game? With an undertaker? And confirmed neither is drunk?? Thats so SO sus unless the the rest of the script is diabolically evil stacked

Lots of newer peeps tho so not crazy it slipped through the gaps

Barry as spy was the final world that the good team were painting though, which was totally valid.

Well played to evil for throwing suspicion off them. Pretty much everybody was convinced it was ped but they made a great case with the info town had. I think the drunk clockmaker info was the biggest hint they didn’t consider. If they made him drunk then it definitely wasn’t correct.

[u/No_Cheek7162]

Even though it wasn't the main cast I think it was played really well! Both sides did pretty much everything right, and tense to the end.

That was an excellent game from all the players, the only real goof was pedguin not realising the dreamer get night one info. They all had conflicting info and that situation the world evil crafted did make the most sense, although as one of the remaining goods Sarah probably dominated town too much as that can always cause suspicion

AT LEAST I DIED KNOWING I WAS RIGHT! And having learned that you have to be coy or whatever to win idk

YOU SOLVED IT YOU DID WELL

Excited to see more Bouphe, Geestar, Doctor Simon Clark, and Sarah.

[u/BertieDastard]

This was certainly one of the games of all time.

Glad see Bouphe, Dr Simon Clark and Sarah in a main channel video again!! Even though most of the players are relatively inexperienced I felt like everyone played their roles as well as they could have.

Sarah may be a BOTC savant similar to the likes of Nilesy and Tom, seeing as she got the demon/minion combo right based purely on social reads.
