    Carley -- Solves the game pretty much immediately, and has basically all of the information necessary to win for the good team team
    Also Carley -- finds her huntsman, in maybe the most wholesome moment in this game's history, a moment that gave me all the feels, gets rescued, and becomes a snake charmer
    Also Carley -- Figures out who the most likely minion is to be holding baby monster, has no reason to risk picking them, and still leaves her decision to the roll of a dice, because, lets be honest, she always wanted to win for evil... even though it clearly puts them in an unwindable situation
    Also Carley -- becomes evil, and even though this immediately exposes everything about the evil team, and with no ability to lean on the other minions, still somehow manages to get the boomdandy executed, and talks everyone in to voting but anyone but her, and functionally single handedly wins it for evil.
    AKA... Carley puts on a masterclass, and proves she's way too good for the rest of this group.

      I agree with you, but... I think Carley should have poisoned Dom instead of Dakota.
      Having the town killing Dom was clearly simpler than defending herself.
      And poisoning Dom could not failed her. Or they execute him (as they did) and she will have directly won.
      Or they would not execute him, and she will have to convince them (as she had to do).

      @@kajava5564 That's true! Not to take anything away from Carley, because she's amazing, but that would have been a more optimal move. It also would have been such a troll for the Good Team if Ben ended the game after Dom's execution, only to congratulate the Evil Team. They'd have no idea how that happened. But it was fun to see the group panic in their final 60 seconds, so either way it was great content. Carley's play was still brilliant, the Good Team was still completely bamboozled, and it just shows that Carley is human. A remarkably impressive player, content gold, but not a robot.

    49:48 "Angela, are you the huntsman?" is like the NRB-plays-BotC-equivalent of the climax of a romantic movie's "do you love me?". Just moments before Carly asks it you can see her picking herself up ready to pop the question, "Ok....". The tension rises, the audience shifts to the front of their seats shouting "ASK HER, ASK HER, DO IT!". "Are you the huntsman?". Angela at first reluctant to have her feelings hurt doesn't answer straight away but then realises she wants this too. "Do you love me too?". "I do". FIREWORKS!!!!!!@#!@#$!@#

      You're absolutely correct in all of this comment, but I think it's worth pointing out one thing with the Carley/Damsel interaction is that Ben had said he wanted to kill Carley, but still accepted Angela's Huntsman use on Carley. Huntsman cannot choose a dead player, so by accepting it, he had already locked in Carley not dying in a mechanical way, since Huntsman acts after Lil' Monsta would have killed her. No shade, just an observation.

      However, what *isn't* assigned randomly is how misfires happen - that is decided by the Storytellers. And it's precisely because Carely got the Damsel that Ben and Tom choose to have her ping as evil to Issac.
      In addition, she was not "provably good", she was just "provably the Damsel". Issac was actually the Drunk, not the Bounty Hunter, but if Issac *wasn't* Drunk, then one role that is normally good would have been aligned for evil instead.

In fact, Adam hard-accused Carley of being the Snake Charmer. For the Storytellers to choose anyone else EXCEPT Snake Charmer would have completely given the game away.
      Also, I have no idea what you're talking about with that second sentence. They do choose who the Good Twin is in games where there's an Evil Twin and they have talked about how they intentionally choose the Good Twin to be someone who would pair well with the Evil Twin, so maybe you misunderstood that as them saying they select the roles themselves for the players? Cause otherwise I have no idea what you're talking about.

Worse, Angela even casually mentioned it to the group and no-one picked up on that.

      It was really funny when Dakota said “we don’t win this on information anymore” when all the information they needed was staring them in the face. If they listened to Isaac, Carley should’ve died, and if they realized he was drunk and Luke wasn’t, Carley still should’ve died because Luke’s empath makes it clear that Carley’s the new evil. They just didn’t consider their options well enough.

      @@meko750 I think the nail in the coffin was that the Luke himself was sowing doubt about his own information to everyone else. He was so convinced he was drunk that he told everyone not to listen to him, setting him up as unreliable if he's good, and also setting him up as a potential bad guy trying to hide behind a drunk claim. From our perspective knowing everything, it feels like it should be obvious to investigate all leads, but to them the case was all but solved.

      It probably would have eventually, but they chased down what they thought were more probable leads first. For her to have been evil they would’ve had to be able to confirm which nights the empath were poisoned, that the drunk, bounty hunter who should be wrong was actually right, and that Carly sniped the demon in a single round. Not impossible to figure out as they did have all the information they needed, but much harder to source through, then the empath claiming drunk or the actually drunk bounty Hunter that conflicts with everyone.

Luke's reading of 1 just when Carlie's new role had a chance to act was so telling, but Luke never thought about that option because he was convinced Carlie was still the Damsel I think.

    Epic seems woefully inadequate, but I simply can't find a better word to describe what you wonderful maniacs have created here together.
    Thank you.

    Every new episode is my favorite episode, but by the heavens, this ep moved the goalposts by a country mile. What a Christmas treat this was, thank you.

    It was so amazing yet frustrating to watch as nobody put 2 and 2 together with knowing that damsel changes roles, so they knew she had been a damsel and confirmed her as such while never properly considering the implications and just took it to assume she stayed good.
