Shout out to Daddy Ben for catching himself making an assumption at the beginning explanation and then verbally recognizing that playing a social deduction game with strangers and/or online is more stressful for some players than others. A great example of what it looks like to monitor one's privilege, and not surprising for the makers of game that included so many thoughtful, official accessibility and equity options (the Fabled).

"Who would talk to the Vizier for mechanical reasons?"

The Vizier is known evil. It's known that he probably is going to be in on something with the evil team. And even if you won't talk with him, that just means he has the power to stop you from talking to others by...showing up.

I just have to say that Ben is the best ST in this group. No shade to the other story tellers, but I love Ben's setup. It is easy to see, easy to follow, and I love the commentary, great job! I love the explanations of why you do what you do and how the rules work.

@kirstenlunde 3 years ago

This didn't feel like it showcased playing the Vizier but only the impact that character has on the game, potentially at the expense of the player. There were almost no times we saw the Vizier talking with anyone. Would be interested to hear how Aggie felt.

@Saffa_Jo 2 years ago

Love that in effect JoJo got revenge on losing as Vizier so quickly in first game by single-handedly taking out the Vizier in the second game..

@verdiss7487 3 years ago

Innkeeper + Vizier seems like a pretty unpleasant interaction. The vizier is outed evil, and their impact on the game is very visible and their drunkeness is easy to test. Other outed evil is either hard to test for drunkeness, or is the demon itself. This allows the innkeeper to use them as a control for testing potentially demon players. I'd definitely avoid putting the two on the same script after seeing this work out.

Jojo played the hell out of the Innkeeper

Great timing. I just finished a Patters video where I was introduced to the Vizier

@MelodiCat753 3 years ago

This video was extremely fun! I do think this script needs more work, as it heavily favors good imo. The Baron can lead to more outsiders, and the outsiders all don't really mind dying too much, which nerfs the Al-Hadikhia heavily. Additionally, there's too many powerful roles in town.

1:30:02 That tiny "no", omg I'm dying

@eddielikesfish7114 3 years ago

the first time i ran an al-had game the demon consistently picked themself and it was so nerve wracking for me and my co-ST (they lived each time)

@AlexH274 3 years ago

High risk, high reward play. Clockmaker is Too strong with a day 1 outed evil. Not much of a chance for Alejo to win.

@masterjbt 3 years ago

was wondering if it was gonna show the rerack or just the original

@raymanta5671 3 years ago

An Al-Hadikhia game? It’s been 84 years… And I couldn’t be happier!

@chizmeeple 3 years ago

I'm still shocked every time I hear Chiz mentioned. I've gotten so complacent about having such an unusual name I still can't quite believe there's another Chiz out in the wild

@messynic 1 year ago

I know this video is old as heck but as someone who has been watching this channel for a good while (albeit out of order), finding out that Aggie is Polish is blowing my mind because she sounds so very British to me

@darbyl3872 3 years ago (edited)

So, a Pixie who sees Choirboy means that the Choirboy can't be the Mario (at least IRL, with only one of each token available.) I don't think you can show the Pixie a Mario's false token. I'm not sure why Adam suspects JC as Mario, unless he thinks he may not be the Pixie, but the Drunk or the Mario.

@katherinek6166 3 years ago

Clockmaker count of 3 is not that unlikely. In a game of 12 it's a 20% chance, so players shouldn't treat it as, "Oh, I'm poisoned or the marionette." However, while it looks really bad when looking at grimoire, from player perspective, it's not that damning. Given the correct clockmaker count of 3, 3/7 odds that Vizier is sitting 4-6 from demon, meaning you can't act on this info immediately. So IF the clockmaker is not evil, and IF the clockmaker is not poisoned, THEN there is a 4/7 chance that one of TWO players is the demon... It's the sort of info you save for later, to cross-reference with info on the next few nights, not start to execute the two players 3 away from Vizier on day one.

@aleafinthewind52 3 years ago

At this point, it's got to be visier, OG, fearmonger and psychopath for The Tomb minions. They all have public abilities that affect executions and kills.

@Ruminations09 3 years ago

Vizier has very quickly become one of my favorite minions in the whole game. I am eager for the day I draw that token from the bag.
I like Organ Grinder - it creates an interesting new dynamic to the game - but I need to be in a particular mood for an Organ Grinder game. However, I'm always down to play with a Vizier.
