Rod HiltonI want to expand more on the comedy of errors that led to the eviction of #Twitter from their Boulder, Colorado office.
The story that leads up to this building even existing is bizarre and hilarious, so here goes...
A thread 🧵
AndrewNathenson has movedI wrote an article about #BloodOnTheClocktower as a strategy game.

This was a while ago, but you can still see it as the latest article on the BOTC website at the moment.
@AndrewNathenson I think for more advanced groups it is something that shouldn't be used, but if you're with a more casual group then everyone being able to participate may be a better optimization.
@AndrewNathenson so far in my experience it smooths out the rolls, you still need to trade to get anywhere but you aren’t locked out by bad luck. Definitely could lead to stale games but I think limiting its usage helps prevent that.
@AndrewNathenson if you get no resources on a given roll, you get one coin.
@AndrewNathenson I think it depends on the structure of the rest of the game. Catan introduced gold coins that can be traded 2:1 for anything, but you can only do that twice per turn. It ends up smoothing out the game, rather than causing the situations you described.
Y’all, give me some recommendations for people to follow here (and tell me why they’re interesting!)
Jon SimantovMy girlfriend got me a set of #boardgame coasters for games we've played together and/or games I love. Such a great gift! ❤️

PDXBOTC@b0pp @bignose @jen In my experience, meta in Clocktower is more like waves rolling across the surface of an ocean. It changes as the group changes.
For example, top fours in my groups used to come out day one and now, they work quietly in the shadows to find their true target or to find important roles they can swap with to get and waste a demon kill.
The beauty of Clocktower is precisely this, metas flow in and out of groups and therefore don’t lock players into specific play styles.
