What is your favorite part about playing Clocktower?

So I'm writing an essay about the many different dynamics that emerge from playing Clocktower, with scope ranging from a single interaction to an entire "career" of play.

A dynamic is what happens when two elements within a system interact. Many factors including mechanics, roles, the social mood, your familiarity with a person or simply personality can change dynamics drastically and often in interesting ways.

Some examples would be the "Huntsman-Damsel Dynamic" or the "New Player being nominated for the first time Dynamic", or the "Demon/Minion obfuscating who is who in final 3 Dynamic", or the "Night 1 Jokey Chatter Dynamic", or the "Dynamics of being invited to play in a local group"

The above examples won't be experienced the same way by everyone, but we've experienced some of them firsthand and our experience of that instance could be a moment we cherish, seek out again or want to give another person the opportunity to experience.

Clocktower is chalk-full of these, so I'm really curious which ones the community personally finds the most pleasing. Context-sensitive dynamics are also valid, as completely screwing over a close friend can be different than to a complete stranger.

so TL;DR

What is your favorite part about playing Clocktower?
