I am probably one of the hosts of this side with the least bias used towards players, cuz I’m extremely lawful and hate it 100% to treat someone differently as host just cuz I don’t like it. But even I am a bit biased. it’s just good that games like fol aren’t allowing the host to intervene, they can just go straight by mechanics.
In BotF its different. Your host will be biased, and he has a lot of power to bring that into play.

the best way to describe this game to an FM player is flipless mafia with a flagbearer where all players get to talk for the entire game

#318

Also I too don’t entirely know how this works, but I’m sure I’lo understand

#319

more so than anarchy at any rate

other things to try to explain this to an FM player:

  1. For endgame conditions, only the flagbearer matters. Town wins by executing the flagbearer. Scum wins if the flagbearer is alive in the final 2.

  2. You can whisper other people during the day.

  3. Information can be unrelable. The game is the opposite of FoL in the sense that if you try to solve the game only mechanically, town will lose every time. Social reads should be the priority.

and yes, the game is bastard, because anytime the word “may”, “might”, or “storyteller” is used in an ability, the host chooses what happens.

#323

technically scum can also win in other ways depending on certain classes

#324

yes, that is true. some classes specify alternate endgame conditions

#325

alright
ahem
Flipless game where the dead can speak and have the power to vote someone for execution exactly once
Majority is half and does not immediately end the day, there is no plurality. The game immediately ends if a specific evil known as the Demon is killed, and evils win if the living player count ever dips to 2 players. In the event of a draw, good will win 100% of the time. There are 3 different editions with different role lists, although there are more in the making. Trouble Brewing is for newer players. BMR is for quicker games with its high kill power. Sects and Violets gives town an absurd amount of information, but makes it completely untrustable

Aka: just listen to Italy, he’s the expert :wink:

#331

also also if there’s a tie there won’t be a rand, it just defaults to nolynch

#332

Should we listen to Italy though if knight is possible

#333

yes I saw botc knight

Klutz makes evil win if he chooses an evil person when he dies
Mastermind makes evil win if a good person is lynched the day after the demon is lynched
Saint makes evil win if they die by execution
