Tilly was 100% the MVP for this episode, just watching her trying to navigate the nightmare, her voice trembling as she approached the two other players on her team was compelling & melodramatic, all the while looking fabulous in her sweet hat!
@@MoleoflandsLaurie understood that Oli was evil, Oli didn't get the whiff of evil of Laurie... just shows how much Laurie seems innocent, despite extreme tells.
Not impossible but dang near close to impossible. Drunk/Poisoned Grandma seeing Olly as the Mathematician would require the Story Teller's to Cold Call what Olly would bluff as that before day one.
1:04:40 "Does [the summoner summoning a demon] happen tonight" *Looks away.* "It does" *Deadpan look to camera.* Laurie is playing this like the protagonist of a sitcom lmao
@@Kantilvih At that point all Oli knows is that Laurie isn't the grandmother, but Laurie could still be good. By calling Laurie's bluff Oli is revealing that he isn't the mathematician which is really suspicious given he has already hard claimed that. There is also the possibility of Laurie being a drunk grandmother who happened to see Oli as a mathematician. That's very unlikely but if true Oli would have gained Laurie's trust.
@pauleean4364 fair, it is also easy to see the play when we are on this side. When you are there with no info it is a different thing, however, an assassin getting found isnt disastrous, and the value of finding another evil player is such that it is a given for me to poke at that. Good players hard claim bluff all the time, so backning off mathematician ain't that bad.
It just goes to show how insanely powerful the Poppygrower is. That game was going *amazingly* well for evil, but one little mistake and it all slipped from their fingers.
@@nickwulfeMe neither, there’s already a way neater more balanced version in the magician that doesn’t have weird interactions with poison/vortox, I don’t get why they don’t just always use that.
same, I used to like it when I first learnt about the game. But after seeing many more games, I think it's juts too op in a game that's already stacked against evil@@nickwulfe
@@matroqueta6825it was genuinely an incredibly solid move that would have worked if it had been ANY other demon. (She was the only person 100% NOT the demon because if she died he would have learned the evil team) The only better (but riskier) choice would have probably been himself so he’d get a vote but that’s a huge risk and not a play most people would make because staying alive is such a key piece to evil in this game.
@@kassygo1375 cant remember which ep it was (was one of the live ones tho) but oli thought he gets to choose a new characters powers each night as the philosopher but its only once per game, and oli just chose the first one the script and got the fairly useless power of the clockmaker lol
This was absolutely legendary! Probably one of the best undercover evil plays from all the minions. Just before the final night, the good team was almost completely lost and even went into a tunnel in the wrong direction, digging their own graves even further.
Without the assassin kill I think they would have executed Ollie the next day. Kill Sullivan in the night, then Holly needs to nominate herself on final 3 or the evil team wins.
@@fakjbf3129He plays really well, except that one time when he was the demon and bluffed as the clockmaker, which is still probably the best episode to this day.
@@Panthersman52Nobody knew that Oli was on their team. Ken heavily suspected it but probably not enough to out everything to him, and Laurie definitely didn't know the team other than Tilly. Don't forget Tilly was the only reason why evil found each other, and she never saw Oli
@@blockinite5382 the reason laurie didn't know is because he blindly followed ken's plan of messing with Oli instead of trying to find any information at all. Oli was clearly scared of being outted as evil but none of the other evil players made any effort to find the last evil person on their team.
@@matroqueta6825 they didn't know for sure that Oli was evil, Ken just knew he was lying about Mathematician for whatever reason. He was likely evil but losing the game by trusting the wrong person to out yourself as Evil to is too devastating to risk it
I have no idea who he is at all but he fit right in and and in his first chat was both aware of how the game worked and immediately offered to join the evil team which is great.
check out Goofs On The Noobtower! it's his own Clocktower stream channel, and it's great fun! Has some NRB people, as well as one or two other Dropout people involved, AND the guy who did the puppeteering for Detective Pikachu!
@@NovaStalker He's an actor. He plays a recurring character in Superstore, for example. He has also recently started a blood on the clocktower youtube channel called Noobs on the Gooftower which is great and several of the NRB gang have been on that.
Worth the wait!!! Spoilers! What a finish! Absolutely hilarious sequence of events. Three deaths in a single night, and a good team waking up to find somehow they won without doing anything. All evil deaths came at the hands of evil lol
First I thought that the Traveller broke the game and it was not fun... Then, when they started to think who to kill to add the votes, I thought "wooow, that IS good!"
@@plcflame Yeah you can clearly tell this guy designed the game with ALOT of care and thought, the roles are so intricate and the way that you can jigsaw piece a script together so that multiple roles connect perfectly with each other and either harmonise or greatly conflict and spread misinformation is just so good. This is by far the best social deduction game I have ever seen.
This whole episode was a thing of beauty. So lovely to have the series back for a second season. No surprises Chris is a great fit for the rest of the gang, and Steve was a curious twist too - I always say we don't see enough of the Travellers, and his approach to the game particularly was very interesting. Don't think I've ever seen a Voudon before either! My favourite moment was Laurie's classic 'secretly evil' look at the camera when he hugged Oli, who he didn't know was his own evil teammate XD
OMG! I Love the addition of VIP travellers! It's seen rarely in streamed games, and they always add so many interesting twists. I hope there's a few more games with them this season.
Me approximately 90 minutes ago: Oh no what shall I do, I’ve watched literally every minute of NRB BOTC content. This couldn’t have come at a better time.
I discovered Blood on the Clocktower via NRB. Since then I watched a lot of games ran by Ben on BotC channel. And I must say, it is great to watch how much the cast improved at it compared to the early episodes. I still have Sullivan just blurting out his role fresh in my mind. And now everyone's working through the worlds, collating info, creating whole logic chains. Very fun to see the progress.
After all these years, I finally got to play a game at a local board game convention. 20 people, I was The Saint and I got to final 3. Myself and one of the others had been working together for the previous 2 nights. The one I hadn't been working with nominated me, and both of them put their hands up as well as some dead players. They were both evil and had completely done me while also making it look like I was the demon, The Saint claim didn't help either. It was great
Love to see this back. Tom’s openers are always a lark. That said, nothing will ever quite match the simultaneous hilarity and disquieting of “remember… you wanted this.”
Laurie is such a clever player. Managed to just talk past Hollie without even giving any bluffs, stroke of genius. And when Tilly came and made contact he didn’t let on that he was the summoner in case she was bluffing as the evil bounty hunter. Beautiful play.
For anyone wondering why a Poisoned Poppy Grower does not reveal the evil team to each other: Basically, the way Poppy Grower works mechanically is it removes the "you know your team" part of the demon & minion info. After that, it isn't _actively_ making them not know each other, the info simply did not happen at the start of the game. This is also why Poppy Grower's ability specifies that the evil team learn each other when you die - because the ability isn't _actively_ stopping them learning each other, so without that clause they wouldn't learn because there would be no trigger for them to learn.
Also otherwise the evil team would instantly learn each other if the Poppy Grower is poisoned for even one night via Sailor or Poisoner, making the role way way weaker
There were a lot of great fits on the episode but Tilly’s look is on another level, performed incredibly too. I think I’ve just gone from a Tilly fan to a Tilly stan, I’m absolutely obsessed.
I can't express how excited I am for this series. Watching (most of) the gang back together and getting a new character reveal every episode, what a treat
I really wish the youtube app didn’t automatically show a preview of a top comment. Saw this and immediately got spoiled since it was pretty easy to infer what this meant.
@@somecallmetim4490honestly this wasn’t even Oli’s fault. Choosing to make a Leech in a PoppyGrower game was a wild choice knowing there was a 50% chance the other minion was an Assassin that hadn’t used it yet. If any other Demon had been created Oli would have pretty much secured a win for the Evil team.
@@YamiMysticI mean, for the first two rounds of play Oli knew that killing anyone during a Poppy grower game was a monumentally stupid choice. There is no reason at all that he should decide to kill at random without conferring with an evil player first. *_Especially_* if he believed a summoner was in play! If Laurie is to blame for anything it's that he didn't read Oli's social cues that he was trying to find an evil buddy, and as a result he wasn't able to warn him then nor later in the game. But that's kind of expecting Laurie to be psychic. It's just a case of Ollie being inexperienced here, that's all. We always knew he was the naïve, innocent type. That's perfectly valid and we love him for it lol
It’s fun that just by seeing how long the video is, it almost foreshadows what’s about to happened. At one point I checked to see only about 20 minutes left and began to realize “oh no, Oli you wouldn’t…”
The boss coming in with no information and unilaterally making a decision for action’s sake that tanks his team is such a perfect encapsulation of modern corporate C-suites.
On point. Did not pass the vibe check. I'd never want to go into a group of players I do not know and take such an influental role that basicaly makes all the decissions (at least for a while).
Despite good winning I think Tilly was the real winner. She played a great game and love the hat turn when she in lawyer mode. I hope she is in several more of the filmed episodes. Also Blair doing much better and Jon not having a melt down. I like the addition of Chris. Poor Oli though and well I fear for everyone if Laurie looses again lol.
New custom role for next game: Laurie "If you are Laurie Blake, you win no matter the games outcome. If you are not Laurie Blake, then you lose and Laurie Blake wins Laurie Blake wins even if he isnt playing in the game" And Ben would still somehow make a scenario where Laurie ends up losing through no fault of his own
@@DustD.ReaperLaurie would get politician and still lose. Or like you said maybe if he got Anne it could be an ability. “You win the game. If you are drunk when the game ends you lose.”
Honey No Rolls Bared Has Uploaded a Blood on the Clocktower video ‼️ gosh I'm so excited I love watching this group so much (Tilli being the secretary for the evil team is soooo good, it was funny seeing her face with confusion and excitement) (And Poor Oli, oh dear)
The episode was great as always but the remix at the end had me literally dying 😂 That's another song from my childhood that I'll never be able to listen to the same!
Watching Oli as the only evil who didn't know the team was so unfortunate! If only Ken had approached him the day before! Very unlucky there, but such a wild finish!!
YESSS! I've been waiting *so long* for this! Tilly's absolute genuine relief Laurie revealed himself... that had me on the floor 😂 I exhaled on her behalf just watching that! And the ending... Oli's absolute shame when he realized what he'd done 😂
Poor Oli; I empathize with him. It happens sometimes. They were in such a good position that night, too - if Ken had chosen Sullivan or Tilly and Oli killed the other or himself, Dom's gossip would have killed the last person and the evil team would have won.
@11th-lemon The Gossip Kill 100% Won't Kill The Demon. It'd Kill Either Another Evil Player Or The Gossip Themselves. AFAIK There Is Nothing To Cause The Gossip Kill To Not Happen (Assuming Not Drunk) Outside Of A Situation Where Everyone Is Protected From Death From Something Like An Amnesiac Ability, So Suggesting It'd 'Kill' (As In Not Kill) Ken Wouldn't Happen, As That'd Be Unfairly Dening The Gossip Thier Ability. The Gossip Would Instead Kill Themselves; Killing The Demon Would Just End The Game, Unfairly So For The Evil Team. TLDR; No, This Wouldn't Happen
@@11th-lemonIn that situation the obvious answer would be for the gossip kill to have killed Oli, and left Ken, Holly, and Dom as the final 3. 2 Goods, 1 Evil, but the actual execution to win is one of the good players. Would have been a very balanced final day.

Typical Laurie. The Oh No Who Could've Done This energy is strong with him...
His reveal to Tilly was hilarious lmao!!!
1:02:50 That entire exchange was beautiful lol
Dom nominating Chris on the basis of being better dressed than him is probably the most Dom way of saying "I really like how well dressed you are"
Accusation is the sincerest form of flattery.
I hope they keep bringing Chris back so that he and Dom can compete in an ever escalating fashion arms race.
I mean he did it so
Tilly was 100% the MVP for this episode, just watching her trying to navigate the nightmare, her voice trembling as she approached the two other players on her team was compelling & melodramatic, all the while looking fabulous in her sweet hat!
Absolutely! Also the background music in her conversation with the others makes it 10x better: 01:02:47, 01:22:28
That hat though. Real dapper.
Cool lawyer!
Agreed, she has become so much better at this game. Ken was also brilliant.
Having the 2 best players doesn't always mean you win though.
I wonder if her back was hurting from carrying the team 🏋♀
It wouldn't be an NRB clocktower game without a very useful character IMMEDIATELY giving themselves away to the demon. *chef's kiss*
you mean every useful character immediately doing so
The scene of Oli and Laurie confirming each other as good and deciding to work together was such a strange experience of dramatic irony.

On point. Did not pass the vibe check. I'd never want to go into a group of players I do not know and take such an influental role that basicaly makes all the decissions (at least for a while).
There are some incredible outfits here. Tilly, Jon, Tom... Omg!
Laurie out there catching powerful hard claims like Pokémon 😂
If this is a sign of what's to come? Hold on to your Hatter, folks. It's going to be a wild ride!
Noice.
Despite good winning I think Tilly was the real winner. She played a great game and love the hat turn when she in lawyer mode. I hope she is in several more of the filmed episodes. Also Blair doing much better and Jon not having a melt down. I like the addition of Chris. Poor Oli though and well I fear for everyone if Laurie looses again lol.
Well, the Laurie prophecy of his team losing still holds, I see.
New custom role for next game: Laurie
"If you are Laurie Blake, you win no matter the games outcome.
If you are not Laurie Blake, then you lose and Laurie Blake wins
Laurie Blake wins even if he isnt playing in the game"
And Ben would still somehow make a scenario where Laurie ends up losing through no fault of his own
@@DustD.ReaperHeretic: Whoever wins loses and whoever loses wins, even if you are dead.
@@ellysemilton1309 well played there...I totally forgot the Heretic was a thing...well played
@@DustD.ReaperLaurie would get politician and still lose. Or like you said maybe if he got Anne it could be an ability. “You win the game. If you are drunk when the game ends you lose.”
Yes and I feel like none of the good people really even suspected him!!
I AM SO HAPPY THESE ARE BACK. (Also why is no one talking about the end song - I need it on Spotify)
Honey No Rolls Bared Has Uploaded a Blood on the Clocktower video ‼️
gosh I'm so excited I love watching this group so much
(Tilli being the secretary for the evil team is soooo good, it was funny seeing her face with confusion and excitement)
(And Poor Oli, oh dear)
Whenever Laurie looked into the camera with a deadpan expression of dread and woe I felt that
If it was a drinking game I would have died.
Jon continuing his run as lord of the clocktower. Sully also padding the stats. Laurie is cursed, lol. Loved the game.
This was an INSANE game to kick off the new season with...
Oli - so nearly the hero of the game
ok but can we talk about that set design? absolutely stunning ❤️ you guys really outdid yourselves there
Excited to see Chris playing! Been loving him playing on other streams (and storytelling on Noobs on the Gooftower)!
It was very cool to meet Ben, Jon and Ken at Ravenswoodstock in Coventry last month.
You absolutely need to make a full version of that STD Song 😂
The episode was great as always but the remix at the end had me literally dying 😂 That's another song from my childhood that I'll never be able to listen to the same!
What an incredible opener! Even after watching all the Botc episodes I’m still learning but my enjoyment is growing with each one. Brilliant stuff.
Spoiler:
Laurie still can't buy a win with almost half the town as evil.
We're back baby!!!
Took a casual trip to Asda this evening to get some Easter Eggs and met Ben, what a small world. Amazing content as always folks!
Watching Oli die inside at the very end is comedy gold
I’m 100% here for Tom’s puns. BotC game is merely bonus content 😂
This is just the perfect way to start season 2. Can't wait to see what comes next!
Love the outfits!! Especially Jon's, Tilly's and Blair's!! Fashion icons
I feel like the closing title edits of these videos don't get enough hype. That was sick
WELCOME TO SEASON TWO!!
My first time seeing the creator - lovely game - especially with no rolls barred. Get on board!
So glad this is back and already looking forward to the next one
Watching Oli as the only evil who didn't know the team was so unfortunate! If only Ken had approached him the day before! Very unlucky there, but such a wild finish!!
Tilly played such a good game, so sad her team drove the game in the ditch
YESSS! I've been waiting *so long* for this!
Tilly's absolute genuine relief Laurie revealed himself... that had me on the floor 😂 I exhaled on her behalf just watching that!
And the ending... Oli's absolute shame when he realized what he'd done 😂
Poor Oli; I empathize with him. It happens sometimes.
They were in such a good position that night, too - if Ken had chosen Sullivan or Tilly and Oli killed the other or himself, Dom's gossip would have killed the last person and the evil team would have won.
@11th-lemon The Gossip Kill 100% Won't Kill The Demon. It'd Kill Either Another Evil Player Or The Gossip Themselves.
AFAIK There Is Nothing To Cause The Gossip Kill To Not Happen (Assuming Not Drunk) Outside Of A Situation Where Everyone Is Protected From Death From Something Like An Amnesiac Ability, So Suggesting It'd 'Kill' (As In Not Kill) Ken Wouldn't Happen, As That'd Be Unfairly Dening The Gossip Thier Ability.
The Gossip Would Instead Kill Themselves; Killing The Demon Would Just End The Game, Unfairly So For The Evil Team.
TLDR; No, This Wouldn't Happen
@@11th-lemonIn that situation the obvious answer would be for the gossip kill to have killed Oli, and left Ken, Holly, and Dom as the final 3. 2 Goods, 1 Evil, but the actual execution to win is one of the good players. Would have been a very balanced final day.
A brilliant episode and worth the wait! So glad to watch it early!
Tilly was an absolute delight to watch! Looking forward to the rest of the season; super glad BOTC is back.
So excited, been watching the first kickstarter episodes to prep. Thank you all!!
that is a STRONG opener. can't wait for the rest of the season!
Chris is the Winston Churchill to Dom's Stalin
Mr. BOTC Sully starts season 2 with a win! May his winning ways continue!
I love the good boys, I just met them and they immediately felt like a sitcom
So delighted to see this back
I literally JUST finished the first season! I'm addicted, this couldn't have come at a better time! :D
That song at the end sent me rolling. Amazing as always!
Spectacular from start to finish. Onwards to a fantastic 2nd Season!
