I've still got the screenshot saved of your response to being the Demon in one of our Clocktower games. Feels like the stress of lying might be a factor!

If one contender beats the gladiator and the other doesn't, it's a 10 point swing I think? Both beat or both lose to the gladiator and it's a 5 point difference

It was just straight-up projection. Martinelli already spent a few minutes rolling around trying to get a penalty - it may or may not have been a foul, but it absolutely didn't have any chance of injuring him in the way he acted like it had. And since he knows he'd do it, he assumes others would too

Nah, I'm going with just bad. Huge amount of redecorating needed, and then you'd just end up stood there going "why is everything in every room always so close to me?"

Exactly what I came to write - mounted archery has been a thing for a very long time. Riding a well trained horse with no hands for short times isn't that big of a deal in itself.

Agree completely. I'm still broadly behind the manager, but constantly leaving Curtis out for a consistently out of form MacAllister is the decision testing that support most.

If I had significantly more tech and/or food knowledge, this is the app I would make. Tell the app how much of leftover ingredient(s) you have and it gives you a bunch of recipes and how much of each you can make

Ah yes, like a classic box-shaped 4-sided dice.

"Ridiculous plot"? But it worked? So surely a better description would be "successful plot".

Ah, see from a viewers PoV I think it's hilarious how Traitors are able to just say that out of nowhere, then it gets repeated, then it becomes self-fulfilled truth. Jonathan was a master at judiciously deploying this strategy!

I think they will creep in new mechanics, just very slowly. "Spending" shields in missions I think was new this series, and does represent a bit of an incentive for Traitors to maybe risk not excelling to try and get some shields in the bin. But yeah, as a social deduction game it's very shallow

Exactly. The winning strategy is what I think Nick tried to do (have traitors ID'd and targeted for banishment at the end), he just let the doubt creep in at the last second. Will be interesting to see if non-celebs have this awareness going forwards.

I wonder how much of this is increasing familiarity with the rules. It's becoming increasingly obvious that catching Traitors early isn't necessarily beneficial - Nick in particular seemed very aware of this. So it's a nice gameplay moment to catch one, but less important than it seemed in S1 & 2

People seem to have not noticed how close we are to an injury crisis. One more injury in midfield and Endo is starting on Sat. Two and Nyoni starts. Same up top: one = Chiesa, 2 makes Rio a mandatory starter. Caution makes loads of sense to me.

And maybe, start shipping people to your castle in Scotland to play macabre games for your entertainment?

The problem with the left back is that he might be a LB with time to settle and a winger ahead of him that's capable of noticing he exists. What he isn't is a LCB

Exactly. He's a former Oscar winner, who won't cost much and will do pretty much any script you put in front of him if you agree to also let him produce. The sunk cost fallacy of "he must be due another good performance"

If there was some way to do surprise onside kicks, I'd say it's perfect. It's still worth sacrificing those for safety and returns, but it is a shame
