BotF XXXV: Her Royal Highness Register -- GOOD WINS

The first time I played this I was the po. I was very scared because of the fact that po has no misinformation. But I had a spy, which meant I knew everyone’s role and how to work them. I could kill people ti fake Pukka stuff, etc etc. and when you no kill, and a minion is claiming monk, and then you kill three people…

The other recent FoL script played with a Po and no other kill variance fell into another pitfall, wherein nobody ever needed to vocalise Po worlds because it’d prove itself in time, so it just seems like an individually recurring thing. I just think Vigormortis would play nicer, although I suppose you could have all four Demon types if you wanted.

wait what script was that i forgor

In Po game people not solving for po is great , they are looking for misinformation and will bend over backwards to find it and try to justify why this specific piece of info is wrong etc etc.

BotSCP.

Drunk is often paired with Po Games though, and we had a drunk juggler

That feels like a reach because misinformation doesn’t necessarily sprout from poisoning, and those players could just be argued to be evil. There isn’t much of a mechanical distinction from evil players lying about their information and poisoned evil players in terms of the philosophy so you want to kill them either way on this script as is. You won’t really construct worlds wherein a good player needs to be poisoned specifically or it doesn’t work unless you have a four-team evil world.

I…don’t know what you are arguing here? People are going to be looking for poisoned players if they do not suspect it is a Po game. Po can frame people as Pukka poisoned when they are not and can choose to holster, ending the game faster, killing evil players who are spreading misinformation to make people think they are good, while also getting rid of 2 other important towns or people trusted. Po has more utility compared to Vigormortis, who is adding a townsfolk into the game for a weaker poison ability.

Either the person you kill at night had bad info, it’s a leech game, or they could be evil and can be solved by looking at their neighbors

I don’t think the hunt for poisoning is as prevalent as you’d find it beyond just “these players are wrong”, and there are characters which don’t necessarily exhibit traits of poisoning as is, Mathematician can detect malfunctions which disprove Po worlds or lock themselves into it, etcetera. Framing a Pukka kill has limited power when all the other night deaths can be used to cross-reference, and only if they have crippling information as is; there’s effectively no possible fashion to frame N1 information as Pukka poisoned as Po because you can’t charge once then kill normally, and endgame’s nowhere near; to frame midgame information as poisoned you’d need to charge after getting them executed, which means it probably wasn’t consequential information as is if nobody greater was framed, etcetera.

Triple killing matters most if you specifically do it at F6 so that you don’t have time to suffer the fallout, so you charge at F7 ideally? It’s an entirely separate gameplay loop and the interval wherein a Po would charge passes with such little announcement that you can outright pretty much ignore it as is. Regardless of being useful, I don’t think it interacts nicely with the philosophy of solving in this setup. The Vigormortis’ utility to cast shade on the dead players and modifying the Outsider count so that one could have a hidden Drunk feels way more layered to pick through, which seems more fun to me.

Oh no totally Po without any demon or minions capable of extra KP is going to be just a gimmick
You will find out the Demon in this script at some point as good and it’s not particularly difficult

Why is No Dashii not on this script? It makes trying to convince a good player they’re the Marionette a bit easier and adds another source of poison.

Replace Baron with Godfather - Baron is boring

2 sober townafolk is a nightmare

so you should really add the heretic and the pit hag, and the spy in the same script, works very well

They play fine together but I don’t think those were May’s script intentions.

They probably weren’t his script intentions indeed. Probably because May didn’t make the script
