Congratulations to Laurie for not losing a game of Blood on the Clocktower.

The billiard boys has persisted as a joke since episode 2 and I love it

adam falling on his sword so philosopher angela can pick up his role was very cool. too bad it didn't last. great game!!

Absolutely dying at the "Wait, you were the hot bounty hunter?" banter

If an alien species found this video, they would likely assume that all men have a British accent and all women have an American accent.

Blair trying to figure out her Amnesiac role up until the bitter end is just about the cutest thing I've ever seen in a social deduction game.

I hope one day Jon and Adam become the storytellers while Ben and Tom join the game instead. I would love that role of reversals if we are continuing the Multiverse of madness.

Shout out to Dom. He's become a much better lier (except for the poison slip). Full credit for speaking calmly under pressure.

Laurie as Storyteller should have been an Atheist game. I'm sure Laurie would relish breaking the rules.

1:24:08 Carley is the most high functioning drunk ever. Brilliant little meeting here for the good team. And Carley doing an amazing job navigating that difficult role.

Nobody reacted to Laurie’s “beaten to death with a silver spoon” joke about Sully. That was amazing.

I love how hard Isaac laughed at "hullabaloo". He knows what happened.

34:24 Carley accidentally drawing on her own chin had me rolling. I love how they can't see each other

THEY SAID IM WARM! IM A WARM POPSICLE! - Blair What a hullabaloo this is.

Isacs smug smile after blair says she has no idea what her ability does was amazing :D

Two things Carley can manage even when drunk: - playing very Well in BOTC - explaining boardgames

Carley’s ability to drown out all the noise and think like an evil person (rightly pinning lil monsta on Isaac and not Dom) is just… it’s so good. She’s so freaking smart at this game.

"You know who I am?" "Yes." "Then you know what to do when I'm dead." Goddamn! Don't know what follows this, but Adam, one story writer to another, this was excellent dialogue.

It’s insane how often they pinpoint the exact person they need to execute during the first or second day then talk themselves out of it. Literally every game bar one or two, it’s crazy. They have to trust their gut and not talk everything to death 😂

58:10 “I spend most of my nights deciding whether I should lie to you” could be a very poetic line if taken out of context

Watching Laurie enjoy the punishment he’s dished out is just everything. Long live Blakenswood Bluff

1:55:30 Carly is so smart and a pro at the ins and outs of this game. Knowing just what lies to tell herself and what a liar may tell in return. Balloonist or Poppygrower Brooke. Finding that Brooke could be doing a Godfather play was clutch at that point.

YEAH! What a great way to start the afternoon. Great to see Adam Pearson, my fellow disability advocate brother from another mother playing today. Go lie, deceive and cheat your way to victory son!!!

“That’s one way to make it bigger.” Dear God Isaac 😂😂

I was scared we won't get a Clocktower game this month. Just with that today became the best day of February. This is by far the most chaotic game , what else could we expect from Ravenswood Blake. Total bedlam, again Carly solving the game.

I'm starting to feel bad for Carley for how little the others trust her even when she's arguing solidly against an obvious lier.

Having watched a few games with the amnesiac now, I think Ben both overestimates how easy it is to guess the abilities, and how useful the abilities are. He consistently makes them multi-step convoluted to the point that it would take 20+ questions to get anywhere near them without basically reading his mind. And, frankly, _if_ Blair guessed her ability right, she still has to be on constant listen and not fail to catch who said the secret word first AND be confident that Laurie and Ben didn't miss the first one and think someone else said it. Yes, knowing "Good" or "Evil" (which a binary like "same alignment as you" is) is powerful, but she again would have to figure out that her ability is telling her "Same alignemtn as you" or "telling you whether good or not" at the least to get it right. I think he needs to go with more straight-forward abilities; he'll probably be stunned by how hard it is for people to still guess them.

I adore this new thing of rotating storytellers, I hope it continues (though of course I would be just as happy for Tom & Carley to return!)

Blair’s entire saga was absolutely hilarious

Sully is truly a BOTC savant (pun intended). Just a game or two ago he won as Philo, barely even understanding how the role worked. Here he claims Alchemist and Pixie-Alchemist in his two, which is brilliant, and points out that Dom can’t be the Pixie-Empath in a Vortox world, which is brilliant… and then he comes right out and breaks madness (smh), and also fails to nominate Brooke to get Carley off the block. Such beautiful, maddening inconsistency. But he wins again!

Sullivan's comment to Blair at 2:40:16 is so good to see! Even amongst the shouting and the lying and the silliness, genuinely supporting your friends inside and out of the game is always important. Good on you Sully!

I would like to go on record as saying that I could listen to Sully doing voices all day - he's HILARIOUS with them! I could also just listen to Adam B's voice all day. Smooth like butter, pleasingly deep, and oh-so-soothing.

Blair winning this for good after spending 2 hours lost in the woods was a great moment. If you were going to script the ending, it would’ve been this. Great watch.

Fuckin Adam right at the end "that's another game Laurie didn't win"....lost my shit. That was funny

Sully talking to Carly and feeling totally out of his depth is exactly how I would feel if I were playing.

The sad thing is, Ben shouldn't have gone to Isaac before Jon, and the whole poisoning of Jon (and all the consequences thereof) was a mistake. The Alchemist learns their ability well before the poisoner goes. The Night Order strikes again. Poor Jon...

finally there is more i watched/listened all the previous blood on the clock tower vids in a week. excellent content thanks to you all.

Angela really needs to be more careful with what she says about her role. Like Luke when he's good, she almost always gives the exact details of her role. I'd like to see what she's like in the late game but she rarely makes it there

Man Adam has a wonderful voice with that little segment in the middle of the video. Can we get Adam singing with someone else like mjf and Chris Jericho

Is there no comment at all that two games ago Blair got her alchemist ability BEFORE being poisoned, but in this one Jon got it AFTER? I'm confused about the Night Order here.

My favorite thing about you guys playing this is that I don't have to necessarily watch you guys so I can just listen to you guys play the game on my car radio LOL

1:52:15 The look on Isaac's face, upon remembering that he poisoned Jon, at the beginning, and realizing the implications.

I absolutely 💘 Carly. She is just brilliant with this game. This my favorite series period.

Gotta love how it was the fact that Blair's ability was completely insane that everyone believed that it was real.

"I've been your bounty hunter" "WHAT? YOU were the sexy man!?" "I heard he was a fuckin legend mate" Fucking rolling

I love the moments, in all videos across the WrestleTalk Universe, when Laurie gets up to either let his cat in or out of the room. Cats hate closed doors and I can relate to him. #catdad

Rewatching this episode really makes me want Carley to be the amnesiac with one of these complicated abilities, and see her puzzle it out!

Take a drink every time someone says “If it’s a Vortox game ...”

#1 takeaway, Adam has a nice singing voice.

Behold, as a strange Amnesiac power turns Blaire into the Lunatic.

Seems like you gave blair the most impossible ability to solve along with a bunch of words that no one will ever say

What a fantastic game! Usually Blair dies quickly or doesn't get a lot to do, so it was amazing to see her absolutely fumble through the game and actually win it in the end. So good to watch

1:41:06 I can't believe Dom weaseled his way out of that vote, he was dead to rights him and his little demon child. Adam B really said oh that imposter that was claiming his own role was fine, and the 2 people who were told to trust each other by Dom because he was the empath and knew they were good also just fell in line with it (even after Dom was advocating for killing Adam P, someone he claims to know is good just to check Carly who was already confirmed good by the original empath)

Blair’s words sound like the codewords to activate the Winter Soldier!!! Outsiders, Town Square, Hullabaloo, Popsicle…

I can't explain why, but I deeply love the look of confusion on Adam's face when Tom skips over him to do Laurie first at the beginning

I love when the title is initially confusing but makes perfect sense after finishing the video. 😄 Spoilers... I so love Isaac's villainous monologue at his final nomination! Honestly, very well played by both teams, it was just down to who Blair would choose to nominate in the end, and Blair finally overcame her curse of being a water diviner for Evil! Perfect ending! Now when I saw Laurie was going to be a storyteller, I was almost expecting him to add an Atheist to the script just to finally get to win one... it still eludes him, but it's amazing that more of the crew are taking up the storyteller role!

Adam P just wandered in and killed it! I wonder if he'll be back for a redemption arc after becoming Laurie's Sith apprentice.

This series is incredible; we're only 22 minutes in, and Jon Gracey has alerady been played by the sheer audacity of the game that makes Blood on the Clocktower and NRB together the funniest board game to watch. Hope you guys had a lovely evening ❤

the way Carley dealt with her drunkenness was impeccable

As usual this was a really fun, however the choices made sometimes I found quite strange. Ofcourse we see the full grimm, but still... Adam P. was a delight as always.

Just noticed on second viewing at 44:40 Blair is labelled as Alchemist not Amnesiac which mirrors Ben accidentally calling Jon an Amnesiac at the start....double blunder or a nice nod?

"The Poisoned Popsicle" would make a fantastic wrestling nickname.

So here’s a rules question- what would have happened (assuming no poisoning was involved) if Dom had selected Jon as his Fearmonger target, Dom nominated Jon, Jon claimed that he was the Alchemist Goblin, and Jon was executed? In that scenario, an “instant win” condition has been met for both teams, so…who wins?

I think what would've been really funny in this game is if in the final night, the three evil players chose to give lil monsta to Adam P. Adam P would immediately come forward saying he was told that he has lil monsta, but then everyone has to decide if they believe he's a good player who got given the baby as a way to confuse the good team on the final night, or if he's a minion who doesn't have the baby and is trying to get them to waste their final execution. In this situation, keep in mind the demon kill is decided after the vote, the final 3 is Isaac, Dom, and Adam, where Isaac is seen as the good player there who nominates Dom, who doesn't have the baby, and good might follow through with the vote if they think Adam is a minion. It would be a risky play, but i think there's a good amount of info that might make Adam P seem like a minion, like Dom talking to Adam P night one immediately, even if he later covers it up by claiming empath. I think the main problem with it was that Dom was largely pushing to execute Adam P throughout the game, but it at least would've been funny

oh i bet laurie has been waiting a loooonnng time for his unbridled revenge. i can't WAIT to see how this turns out

It's scary how good everyone has become! Thought Brooke did an especially good job

Number of games Adam won : 1 Number of games Adam lost : 13 Games played total in 2022 : 15 Number of times Adam WILLINGLY chooses yellow: 3 Number of games Adam wins BotC: 2 (won't count to win score) Number of games Adam's wins in other series: 2 (won't count to win score) Number of games Sully has broken his resolution to always win: 12 Number of games Laurie has won BotC in 2022: 0 Has Adam played Diplomacy with Dom yet? Yes: No: ✓

Great to see adam Pearson. Its that time of month again.

Literally caught up on all episodes nrb plays botc yesterday. I was bummed out bc like now what?...MORE NRB BOTC!!! YAY

Adams singing at 1:27:17 was a genuinely lovely interlude

Laurie is killing it in this role

Love these games, and it's always a sign of good storytelling when it goes down like this.

Carly is SO good at playing evil that Adam never trusts her when she's good.

Really really hope we get a Poppy-grower game. Imagine the chaos and paranoia.

Dude I was just about to watch some of the older videos for my Clocktower fix... And just like DJ Kahild here comes the crew with another one!

Hindsight's 20/20 but if Brooke had chosen not use her godfather ability, Carley wouldn't have been drunk confirmed, and I think the evil team probably wins.

Looking forward to see everyone, especially Jon and Adam, think Caley is evil.

Juat when i've been missing BOTC, y'all upload the next installment!! MVPs

Carley is fun to watch. I especially love the way she flat-out lies to a person on day 1 just to see how it plays out.

What a great swerve right at the beginning! God I love this channel

watching blair try to figure out whats going on has got to be one of the funniest botc moments

Laurie that was one hell of a creepy intro kudos sir Kudos

They tried to nerf Carley by making her drunk but it only made her stronger.

I'm only at 21:03 and I'm dying laughing XD Ben very gleefully cheering that isaac poisoned Jon... bro what did Jon ever do to ben for ben to antagonize him this much hahahaha.. (jk ik ben loves it cuz like all of us he loves when Jon goes banans and loses his mind)

Laurie‘s intro was *insane*. Well done

What happens when: 1. Fearmonger chooses the alchemist - good goblin. 2. Fearmonger nominates good goblin. 3. Fearmonger successfully executes good goblin Would fearmonger make the good team lose? Would good goblin make the good team win? Also, in one of the previous episodes, the storytellers didnt change the alchemist-goblin-to-be's role before assignment due to being poisoned the first night. This is... inconsistent. In that game, Blair was the good goblin and was executed while knowing she was the good goblin. If it's done as in this episode, Blair wouldnt have spoken up because she thinks she has a different ability. In this game, they completely switched the order in which the operations are assigned (or just that Ben forgot to poison Blair's ability that game... which is unfortunate)

Chaos Taint is my new favorite combo of words. Don't know where Angela came up with it but I like it. Edit: my new favorite is now "Yes..... Popsicle"

"It's me, I'm the godfather!" - said the godfather, publicly, on day one

Imma make a list of Amne abilities I came up with, pinch a few if you feel like it: At the beginning of the game before players see their token choose yes or no, if you choose yes rerack. If you choose no, gain a new ability. You start knowing a word, each day the first player to publicly say the word becomes an amnesiac with a new word/ability. If there are two or more amnesiacs you lose this ability. You start knowing a Pokémon, if the player last executed was evil learn a Pokémon with a better type match up, if they were good learn a Pokémon with a worse type match up. You are sober and healthy. You start knowing an in-play role, once per game you may guess who that role belongs to, if you are correct they become a new role, you learn this new role. 5. You start knowing a word, when the first good player to say the word would die, you die instead. You start knowing a movie quote, if a player publicly says this quote, you learn if their alignment is the same as yours and a new quote. You start knowing the title of a song and the artists who sang it, Each day if you get at least half of the alive players to sing the song you learn how many good players took part. You become drunk until dusk if at least one player shares/looks up the lyrics. You start knowing a not in-play role, if someone is *mad* about being this role you learn a new not in-play role. The demon learns who you are, if they are the main reason you died, you learn who they are. 10. Your team only wins if all minions are dead. Deaths at night are arbitrary. [- Demon, +1 Minion] When you die, you get to describe how you die. Whatever you describe happens. You are safe from the demon, when you die all other players are drunk. You win if you are executed. If you win this way the game continues and you must publicly pick a player, they die the next night. There are no outsiders in this game. When you die if you have not guessed your ability, you learn what roles could have modified the count. 15. If you become drunk and/or poisoned during the night, you remain sober and healthy. Each night, select a number of players equal to the number of times you were made drunk or poisoned, they become drunk until dusk. Each day, publicly a small game takes place, whoever wins learns a true statement, but if your opponent was evil the statement is false. Each day, publicly a number will be called, every day after the first the number will decrease by 1, when the count reaches zero, learn three good alive players. The count starts at 3. Each day, privately you may ask a question, the answer is always a lie. Each day, publicly a movie quote is said, but not finished, the first player to finish it learns the role of an alive neighbour. 20. Each day, publicly choose a player, if you are opposing alignments you swap alignments the next night, they do not wake to learn this. Each day, alive players may choose to 'set off the bomb', if the majority of the players alive choose to set off the bomb the game ends. If 1 or fewer evils voted to set off the bomb your team wins. If 2 or more evils chose to set off the bomb your team loses. Everyone publicly learns who you are. Each night, pick a player, if they're good, you cannot die until the next night. Each night, pick a number, learn if that role (corresponding to the roles on the sheet) is in-play. Each night, learn a player, if you nominate and execute that player they learn your role. 25. Each night, pick two players, if they are of opposing alignments and neither one was the demon you learn a yes. Each night, learn a (different) letter in the alphabet that you share with at least one of your good neighbours, if you cannot learn any different letters, this is arbitrary. Each night, pick a player they are woken up and must ask a question. You receive a true answer if they are outsider or townsfolk, You recieve arbitrary info if they are a minion, You receive false information if they are the demon. Each night, learn a role on the script. Once per game, gain that ability and stop learning roles. Each night, learn a name, if you are *mad* that it is your name, learn the alignment of at least one player who learned a name and increase the number of people who learn a name by 1. If all players were supposed to learn a name reset the number to two. 30. Each night, learn 3 options you must select one of them, the one you selected happens. One relates to madness, One relates to droisoning and One is arbitrary. Each night, pick a player [other than yourself] they wake up and learn a cartoon character if you're good and a Horror movie character if you're evil. Each night,* you become the alignment of at least one alive neighbour. Each night, select a sound. Each night proceeding, you learn the alignment of the first player to make that sound each day. Each night,* you may select a player they appear dead, but retain their ability. If they were attacked they were not. Each night,* learn the name of a movie/musical/game and name a character, if the character was a protagonist you learn a different in-play good role, if it was an antagonist you learn a different in-play evil role. If the character was neither you may learn a not in-play role. 35. Each night,* choose a role, unknowingly they gain the ability, "The first time you die you don't and become drunk until the end of the game". Roles you selected keep their extra ability even after your death. Each night,* learn who the demon kills, then pick another player, if they were the demon deaths become arbitrary. Each night,* learn a not in-play role, you may pick a player, they are woken and may choose to become that role. Each night,* if you are closer to the demon than you were the previous night learn a hot, otherwise learn a cold. Once per day, you may ask two questions if you would receive the same word as yesternight. Each night,* make a prediction, if the following day the prediction comes true, learn the name of a good player that night. 40. Each night,* pick a future time and day, when it gets to that time and day learn a statement that was true during the night you selected it. Each night,* learn a range of 5 numbers and may select one of them, that player on the grim is drunk and cannot die until you choose again (The player at the top is 1 going clockwise). Each night, pick a player, if they are good you are both drunk and they are safe from the demon, until the next night. You are safe from the demon. (Evil) Each night, pick a player they are told a convincing lie. [For example: the Cerenovus has chosen for you to be mad as the Farmer or you have become evil.] (Evil) Each night, pick out of play or in-play all evil players learn a single role that fits the category. 45. Once per game, before you die you may choose another player, they die instead. Once per day, privately receive a word, if you didn't say it at all during the day the next night you receive a true. If you said it, the next night you receive an arbitrary statement. Each day, if the first nominator is good they die and resurrect the next day. You cannot die due to this ability. Each night, you may ask a question about your ability. If you guess your ability your team wins. If you didn't nominate a player today, you cannot be nominated.

What a fantastic watch thank you all

6:50 Oh no. Jon as the Alchemist Goblin. This will go off the rails really really fast... Edit: Ohhh no... That N1 snipe. This will be delightful.

In a Li'l Monsta game with an Amnesiac, I think a cool power for the Amnesiac would be, "The Amnesiac is the demon. Each night, the Amnesiac chooses a player. That player dies instead of whomever the evil team chooses. If he dies without realizing he's the demon, he ceases to be the demon and becomes good."

Damn that amnesiac stuff was some world class bullshit, only to be saved by being poisoned

I keep hoping we'll get a Poppy Grower one of these days.

All hail the warm popsicle!

I'm seeing double four Adams

Man, that was a great episode. Can't wait for next month.

Ahhhh that was excellent. Deviousness upon deviousness throughout all building to a final shootout. Cant beat a bit of NRBBOTC !

I think one of the most stressful things in this game is when you are in final 3. You're like the good player or at least the least suspicious good player Meaning you're the one. So basically they gave the amnesiaca gun and she doesn't know who she is.

Lets go! It’s that time of the month again!
