ADAM: For a brand new BONUS Clocktower episode, join NRB's Patreon www.patreon.com/NoRollsBarred Here's the script we're playing: imgur.com/a/Vr1bboC

Day One and Jon says to Blair "I am the Leviathan!" Me: how is this video nearly 3 hours long? Do they play twice?

Jon’s face when Blair finally comes out as the Politician and he learns he’s been the Demon all this time…

It's so nice to know that no matter how things are going in my life, at least I am not Jon Gracey playing BOTC

This game has everything: -Demon thinking he's a Lunatic -Townsfolk claiming evil to the Magician -Politician immediately solving the game, then keeping it secret -Dreamer immediately finding politician, but being driven mad that he's the goblin so he can't tell people. -Cerenovus making the Dreamer mad that he's the Dreamer -Townsfolk trying to lure minions into thinking she's Damsel, BUT she tells her to roles ONLY to the ONE minion in the game. Just wild all around.

Man, Holly claiming she's going to hard claim to Ken, getting him to do so first, and then _not_ hard claiming herself is classic evil

Ben: Politician has to contribute the most to evil winning, which is difficult to do. Blair: Watch me speed run this shit.

Isaac: "I'm the most chaotic Blood on the Clocktower player No Rolls Barred history." Ken: "Hold my napalm."

36 minutes in im WHEEZING at the clusterfuck that is Jon-Tom-Blair accidentally tangling themselves into the delicious double-bad-bluff. I love this series SO. MUCH.

This episode was bonkers in a great way. Jon's social reads continue to be hilariously bad. He can't even read himself now.

dom: "at this point, there is still a minion who has been told two names, and it's probably very easy for them to hide." minion: "i would say that's true, yeah"

Holly: “I’ve been trying to suggest that I could be the Damsel, to see if I could bait a minion. It may have horribly backfired.” Minion: “In what way do you think it may have backfired?”

I was absolutely losing my marbles at Jon yelling “I’M THE LEVIATHAN” and Blair with a story so specific only Carley would be able to come up with, and begging on her knees for them to kill Jon. And the cherry on top, people around them were just like 🧐 if only there was something pointing towards Jon being the demon…………

Funnily enough, Jon was actually the lunatic in this game.

More than half of players openly claimed evil roles, most of them doing so on day one, and it still went to the final day. This was one of the most insane games I've ever seen...

The conversations between Adam and Holly are proof of why the game mechanic is called Madness. Adam is going insane

This game’s first day was so funny Demon literally came out as the demon but then thought he was a lunatic Towncrier dressing up as Demon to bait the magician The politician manages to guess one of the actual Demons Bluffs to make the actual Demon think he is a lunatic Balloonist trying to dress up at the damsel tells the one minion that she’s not the damsel Night one was just so insane

Blair's Empath play on day 1 would of totally given her the politician win no matter what happened on subsequent day. That was the best thing to watch.

I've seen a game go off the rails before. 45 minutes in, I'm not sure this game had rails. I love it.

this is probably. the biggest clusterfuck of an early game. ive EVER seen from blood on the clocktower. great job daddy ben.

Blair, Jon and Tom chat in day 1 might be the best moment in BOTC history xD Love how Blair could've just voted for herself and win with evil but decided to stick with Good, in the end Holly played more as a politian than her

Ben and Laurie gossiping over Ken, Dom, Tom, Jon and Blair was perfection. Laurie’s hand over mouth moment was brilliant. He thought he had the best news then Ben came in with “get this” oh boy, no idea how this’ll play out but I can’t see it ending well for Jon’s mental health 😂

34:35 I laughed my ass off when Blair bluffed as empath with a 0 with the only 2 evil players in the game. Hilarious!

HOW DID THIS GAME LAST LONGER THAN 30 MINS WHAT THE HELL I LOVE THIS SHOW

There are tears streaming down my face at Adam and Holly's goblin conversation. I'm sure there were better ways to play that for the team, but 10000% this was the best for the content.

Poor Tom is totally frazzled for this game. Jon's absolutely insane logic/plan of just telling everyone is one of the maddest things I've ever seen in BOTC.

I think the biggest missed opportunity, by Blair choosing to play for the good team is seeing Jon's face after learning that he is the demon AFTER evil won the game.

This was the most gaslit game and it somehow didn’t include Carley.

There is a moment. A brief, glorious moment. You'll find it. When Jon says something. A moment of truth. Baited breath and tension. He speaks a truth in which no mortal should ever speak. And in that moment. The heavens grow silent...except one voice. Ben hand on face, thinking: You utter muppet

It would have been so glorious to see a demon win when they don't think they're the demon and they don't know who their minion is.

Blair speech coming out as politician is just so good! You can see the moment when it dawns on Adam (2:22:37) that basically already knew, on Jon (2:22:47), on Dom (2:22:54) and on Holly (2:23:08) before she even says it. So entertaining

Did anyone else sit there internally screaming at Tom to make Blair mad so she could break it and be executed to win for evil?

Ken plays the fabled Florida Man role each time, I love it.

Always nice to see Tom as a player. I think Laurie is doing a great job as commentator / storyteller too!

Jon's reaction to Blair finally coming out as Politician was PRICELESS!

Regardless of how you feel about Adam's play here there's one thing I do know, Blair 100% won this game.

Dan: so you have no reason to fib unless you're the real mastermind of the whole game Blair (the real mastermind of the whole game): right.

"I trust both of you." Blair said to the demon and his minion.

Todays game in a nutshell was basically what happens when your Town Cryer is a conspiracy theorist.

Jon freaking out when the penny finally drops is just priceless. One of the best episodes yet, no doubt about that.

Thank you to the editing team for taking the time to truly capture Tom's evil laughter at 2:14:00 it was *perfect*.

Oh my GOD, Jon on Day 1 is just an extraordinary helicopter crash.

I LOVE how Blair screwed evil more than she screwed good round 1 by tricking the demon that he was a lunatic in a Levitan game

We *_need_* a Carley-as-politician game. And not as one of the in-person ones, either; I want her in Zoom chats marionetting everybody simultaneously

I think my favourite episode since Billiard Boys. I spent two and a half hours thinking "Jon's beefed it, they must be playing two games". HOW DID THIS GO SO LONG?!?

36:00 HOLY SHIT! This entire conversation has me screaming!!! Also poor Tom he looks so confused!

From a gameplay perspective, this episode makes me want to jump out of my skin. As entertainment, this is hilarious. Never have both teams been so discombobulated and bizarre in their strategy, thinking, etc. That conversation between Dom and Ken 😭 so good

I've not seen a Leviathan, Politician or Magician before I think. Always nice to see new characters.

Blair, Tom and Jon talking Day 1 was pure Gold!

“Who would do this to me?!” Basically everyone, Adam. You are a lightning rod in this town.

My name is Daniel and I am from Ethiopia.Blood on the clock tower is an amaizing game.I have watched all the previous episodes on the KZfaq NRB channell and I am a dedicated fan of the game and NRB.I want to play the game if I get a chance in the future.For all NRB fans out there,Get on board Guys.

Jon accidentally sabotaging his and Tom’s entire game has to be one of the most entertaining but strategically worst moves I’ve ever seen. Good game everyone! Tons of fun as always

Absolutely insane episode, loved every second of it, but I am once again very put off by the madness mechanic. Adam just straight up ignored it multiple times when the storytellers weren't there, then got popped for being annoyed he was the goblin after spending the whole day annoyed he was the goblin. It does lead to some nice moments like the conversation he had with Holly, but I really feel like it needs to be clarified what mad people can or can't do in order for the game to make any sense as a whole.

I freaked out in less than a minute when I realized Tom was playing instead of story telling!!! OMG I can't wait! I am sure this will be amazing!!!!!

This has to be one of the maddest episodes of BOTC that I’ve even seen! Between Adam going insane to Blair’s bluff that led to Jon thinking he’s the lunatic, I couldn’t believe what I was watching. The leviathan is a really fun demon and added a whole new dimension and mechanic to this already excellent game.

I don't know how to feel about Adam being able to break madness as long as he isn't caught. Because if it is "technically possible," then fine that's the rules. My problem with it is that I can't help but feel that someone like Ken or Blair in the same situation would not realize that you can basically cheekily reveal madness like that because it honestly just feels like cheating from the outset. It's basically undermining the Cerenovus by essentially sidestepping their ability without chancing the stated repercussions for doing so.

Holly “I am having all of the fun” while tearing her hair out - that should be the tagline of BOTC.

There was a moment in the game where someone could have believed that there were 2 demons, 2 psychopath, a guy with a top hat, someone full of hot air, a goblin, and the president

Oh my god. I don't have words. I don't have WORDS. This game was incredible. Jon not realizing he's the demon until day 4. Tom out in the cold with no bluffs. Adam driven to actual madness. Ken and Dom both on the good team, but trying to play each other. And Blair just seeing where this unbelievably lucky lie will carry her. This was phenomenal. Thanks for three hours of adrenaline.

Blair and Adam in a chat talking about Jon being a lunatic and Ken(who’s bluffing as the Lunatic) asks if they want to chat. Funniest bit ever. Ken is a absolute madman.

I was marvelling at the debut of heel Blair, only to be even more delighted to realise that she just booked a babyface turn for herself.

It's 1AM and Adam's absolutely desperate insanity mirroring the madness imposed upon his character has me laughing so hard that all sound has been consumed by my inability to breathe 😂 We need Adam to be made mad more often. Not for gameplay, but for Schadenfreude based comedy.

Three things: 1. I thought I had seen all the fun BotC has to offer in the previous episodes. I was wrong: This was absolutely brilliant. 2. Props for the Milan Kundera reference in the title 3. Blair for president!

This was such a great example of what I've always been saying: Lunatic is such a great character. So many people discount it because of bad plays plus the Lunatic often finding out day 1 that they're the Lunatic, but boy does this video (and some others) speak volumes about the insane paranoia it can cause by simply existing. Same goes for Magician (and Marionette is so good for that, but it "just works(tm)"). I've had people say they're not impressed with Magician, but the paranoia it causes for evil team and the way it could potentially just shut down their communication is huge. Throw them all together and boy do you have a fun time. (Just avoid having a Marionette that thinks they're a Lunatic, IMO. I know Steven said it's okay to do, but man do I hate the idea on so many levels.) What a great playthrough. Definitely one of my favorite NRB plays. I have to save this script. *P.S.:* For any fellow late-watchers that are curious about the thoughts behind this script, I dug up Theo's (i.e. the designer's) statement on it: “ *Harold Holt's Revenge* (For anyone who doesn't know, Harold Holt was an Aussie Prime Minister who went swimming in the ocean one day and never came back. Now we have an aquatic centre in his name. He has come back as a terrifying Leviathan for revenge) When I first learnt what madness was, I was really scared of it and our group would always make efforts to cover up who who was mad or they'd get executed. I wanted to re-create that feeling by including Leviathan on the script. This almost forces players to be mad and, since the consequences are much worse, makes for much more tense situations. Other characters increase this tension as you might not know what team you're actually on and a few extra win cons for evil. I personally enjoy this feel but it's not for everyone, especially for players who don't like engaging with madness -- this script isn't really for those kind of people. This script features no misinformation (unless you're the Marionette) and relies on madness and the outsiders to give the evil team some room. None of the outsiders will be public, which means there's little chance of players being confirmed good by player count. You know you can trust your information at all times but you probably wont be able to trust most of the information being thrown around by other players. I didn't want to overload players with information and create too many possible worlds because some player could be drunk or other player is the Recluse. Unlike other Leviathan scripts, players are still incentivized to lie about their roles and not info dump making the first 3 days just feel like 1. Due to the Cerenovus and Pit-Hag, the evil team can still take out useful information gathering roles from the good team. This is quite important because it stops characters like the Dreamer or Courtier confirming themselves as good and evil team feeling powerless”

Laurie finally won! He may not have played, but the way he watched them all twist themselves into knots, he totally got his revenge.

When Adam desperately needed Holly to trust him that he wouldn't use the he wouldn't use the info to guess the Damsel, he could have just publicly guessed someone as the Damsel. Holly would be able to trust him then, because if he indeed was the Minion he would have wasted his teams one try already. Of course he still could have been the demon, but we was being mad about being the Goblin at that time.

This game is so wild, I love that people are actually openly double bluffing as the demon! I have never seen this.

More than any other episode in the history, I want a watch party of the players of this episode. Have them sit through the edit and explain their actions.

What a topsy-turvy BOTC episode. I was incredibly entertained... because Daddy Ben and Laurie were so incredibly entertained. And who could blame them? I'm truly going to school on learning BOTC via NRB's plays of the game, and this one completely flipped my lid! I did feel a little bad for Tom, who I think was genuinely unsure what to do at some moments. Yet his smart moves were also pointed out, too. Blair's opening was a fluke for the ages! I just can't thank NRB enough for continuing to gift us these episodes, and I'm happy I was able help back the funding of more episodes, especially in-person games to come. Just top notch content, and a treat to watch this group play these games with such fervor, fun and yes... madness! Cheers.

That might be the most incredible first day Ive ever seen lmao John just immediately unraveling is a treat to see

Since I saw the first episode of BoTC three weeks ago, I’ve watched every episode and finished them all just in time for this one to come out! It did not disappoint; easily one of the most entertaining videos I’ve ever seen. Jon’s face when he realised killed me. Thanks for all the hours of juicy content so far!

This was fantastic. I still think that even if evil would had won in the end that Blair should had shared that win. Her lie in the beginnings really shaped the game!

I genuinely cannot express how much Jon's face at 2:36:55 got me. I've been using that gif on Discord for weeks without knowing what video it was from, and seeing it just appear in the middle of such a funny and complex BOTC episode had me in stitches. I had to pause the video and laugh so hard I got a headache. Cheers, Jon!

I POPPED SO LOUD SEEING THIS IN MY FEED! i’ve just rewatched all the old episodes! so excited to see how this one plays out!

Jon: I'm really worried about the politician The politician: oh yeah.

how does Dom always end up with the roles that make him out to be the most Sus lol

Adam getting away with breaking madness was absolutely insane.

Tom's mad cackling during the roll call had me WEAK 😂

This was the best game yet. Those plays on the first day were just absolutely amazing, and Adam squirming the entire game was fantastic.

So I've been critical of previous videos so I think it's only fair to say this: Fantastic episode to everyone involved! Good and evil felt more balanced this time and it made it even more enjoyable to watch, even if a certain someone was slowly spiraling to their doom. Keep up the great work!

That was definitely the best BOTC episode! So funny with all the chaos, had me laughing out loud. Can't wait for the in person episodes!

Always enjoy these. I'm consistently amazed at how 'drunk-scared' (for lack of a better word) the group is. The first thought when someone gets info is 'I'm probably poisoned or drunk' instead of being aware of the possibility but waiting until there's any evidence of misinformation. Like in this, Jon leapt at 'I must be the Lunatic' instead of 'oh cool, we're both good, this is my role' and then having a moment to think. I'm looking forward to Ken in several games time as well. I think he said in-game that it's what, his 6th game? He comes up with interesting chaos plays but then doesn't seem to have figured out quite what to do once the chaos bomb has gone off, although he's better every time.

Been refreshing every day for a new BOTC episode! Can't wait to watch this :)

Day 1, four people claiming evil (in a two evil game) and Adam who is ceranovus mad as goblin is not one of them. What is this game 😂

Another fun episode. Choosing chaos was a great strategy for several players

I can’t believe it- BLOOD ON THE CLOCKTOWERRRR!!! I love these vids, I even rewatch them. Wowow what a great surprise baybayyyyy. Wish I could play with y’all!

I don't know if Jon realised this himself, but his "I am the Leviathan" shtick near the end was such a Politician thing to do: if they vote you while you claim to be demon, you made evil win and therefore win; if they vote the actual demon, you're on the good team and win. If I were sitting at this table (as a good player), that would actually make me consider very seriously if Blair was the demon and Jon the Politician. Luckily for the good team, they were too mindfucked from all the other chaos and ignored Jon's mumblings altogether...

Kens plays are always WILD

35:47 I missed it on my first watch as my eyes were glued on Jon because I couldn't believe what I was hearing, but on a second watch, Ben's reaction throughout Jon's confession is hilarious af 😂 At first, when Jon speaks, Ben is trying to figure out what possible scheme has Jon come up with and as soon as Jon says "Leviathan" he drops his head 😂The entire conversation between Blair, Tom and Jon and Ben's reaction is definitely the funniest moment so far in the BOTC series 😂 P.S. - I'm watching from Old to New so still have a few BOTCs to watch

The most insane and fun game so far. Chaos from everyone. Love it. Also great to see Tom back. Been worried we hadn't seen him in a while.

I'm stuck at home with covid and binge watching all of these like there's nothing else in the world. I don't think I have ever laughed so hard in my life at a game. Bravo, everyone

I'm only one hour in, and this is already the best Clocktower content I've ever seen.

Ken's unbridled insanity is the best thing ever I would love to see him as a politician

The first conversation with Tom and he was just taking a step back and was like... "What the fk..."

I thought that a "lockdown" version wouldn't be as good as the studio version, but it was AMZEBALLS good! It was so good that it felt like Ben had hand picked the roles for each person rather than then being assigned randomly.

What an absolutely wild game lmfao. I'm amazed the video is 3 hours long with how that first day went... Tom's evil laugh is incredible, though. I would love to see him play more. Loved the mind games at the end, too! God... I love this game and I love you all lmao 💚

I mean, this whole episode feels like a perfect moment in time from what I am watching already... gonna enjoy this one... But I will have to share the perfect moment of synchronicity I experienced where my ad break hit at 43:38 and I ended up hearing the sentence "Holly, As the largest distributor of blinds and countertops, you now have to choice between the two blond gentlemen"

Ken is pure chaos energy. I love it.

Oh, what a ride! I can't believe how convoluted this got, absolutely loved it.

57:40 is the best Clocktower moment ever brought by NRB! Taking into account the chaos that erupted early on having that moment in there really just captured the madness of this scenario. Thank you for the chaos daddy Ben and NRB crew.
