To be clear, that last comment was pointing at everyone involved here, Spectre and yourself. You could easily live longer if you didn't do things that make the evils and goods want to butcher you. Although I have to admit that I'd be sorely disappointed if there were to be a lack of Paint Wars and haiku. I still have an epic poster I made for the Robot Phalla to become MC, but I decided to back cheez instead. Still saving it for just the right moment.
The real question comes down to the imperative to win versus have fun. Being quiet and keeping your head down will increase you chances of living but if you're just a villager what the fuck are you doing to try and win? I will also call out bad plans as a villager (and thus as a bad guy as well) and call people on the carpet for them. It's one of the strongest things a villager can do to help the village win the game.
This changes somewhat if you're a special obviously.
I do this quite often, (Such as Zot's insanity which drew some suspicion on me, or Buzz's horrible Death Note theory that got me jailed.) and it generally ends in my demise. I do all I can, even if I am a vanillager.
Or, you can pull a Gorilla Salad and say "Man, I am just a villager, I can't do anything else other than vote!" then he gets bandwagoned and "Oh, at least I have too much of a life to spend on playing phallas all the time, c-ya."
I find that much more annoying than Pretentious' agressiveness or Drez's douchebaggery. Hell, I think those two add more to a game than most people, which is why I had been saying I missed Drez before he signed up.

People who post more make the game more fun!
I hear that. It's always a pain when all the other fun people are dead at the end, and I'm sitting around with a bunch of people that hardly post during the end game, trying to convince them that I'm not evil while they won't even deign to respond.
Oh and if someone would go into the signup thread for Frosteey's game and say Luna Lovegood, that would be great. I'd really like to post something terrible there that's been sitting in the quick reply box for quite a while now.
No no, not in here. Phallagnorok thread. Just repeat what you said there, and I can post a very large and cruel (to the viewer, not the subject) picture.
It's difficult to understand the satisfaction I gain from finally posting that. Not in the sense that I've been waiting for the right moment, but that I've had the tab open for multiple hours while I did other things. Sure I could have posted much worse things, but the situation really didn't call for it.
Much appreciated Spectre. I'll remember this the next time I hold your life in the balance. Now, I can finally rest.
EDIT: Whoa, that's a lot of Pargons you have there in your profile Seriously.
EDITx2: I was going to make a "seriously" joke just now, but I appreciate your politeness with regards to my brief trek into madness.
That was my first real chance to play evil and it was pretty fun.
The dead seering kinda sucked, as I seemed to go from not stirring any suspicion at all (we honestly thought Crono would bite the dust before I did) to being instantly bandwagonned with nothing I could do about it.

Exactly. I mean, I'm rather surprised I lived so long. I thought I was acting OBVIOUSLY evil. I mean "explain why you look so unsuspicious" is just crazy and I repeated it about four or five times. Crazy. Evil. I don't know if I'm insulted or flattered that no one picked up on it. :P
But really my goal was to have fun. I feel a bit guilty that my craziness may have lost (or contributed to losing) the Chats the game but...I think we had fun anyway.

Honestly, every time I've been in a game where I can target someone and I go after you someone else targets you the same round. So I basically just assume someone else will take care of it :P

On the day I was dying I was pretty certain you were evil...which is part of the reason I kept baiting you, the other was that it was entertaining.
It's hard to stay interested in a game when you get killed Day 1, even when there is a dead thread with active mechanics. Apologies for my inactivity later on, but, towards the end, I figured there were enough dead villagers around for my vote not to be missed.
That being said, how did I get killed? I don't remember who the Mantorokian was, did they kill me 'cause of my bottle or was it just the luck of the draw?
If it was just a random death, that would count as the third time I've been killed on day 1 or 2 of a Phalla due to supposed RNG (Phallost, death by Frosteey in aSoIaF, and now this)
Maybe I should stick to the mini-Phallas, I seem to do better in those.
I've never been evil, so I don't know how I'd act.
I've actually gotten rather comfortable as the constant vanillager.
It gets old after awhile. It's been awhile since I've done anything as a normal villager. Either I'm lost in the game or well, I'm not on the village's side.

pk was the mantarok. So it could have been what you said in my day 1 network that had you killed.
I actually tried to see if I could kill myself on the night I died. I asked HB if that would be allowed. For two reasons. First, I thought it would be hilarious and confusing if the narration/results said "Drez...Chatturgha Horror...killed by Chatturgha" and second, I wanted to take Rend with me. So I'm glad PK had the sense to stab at me. And that's why I made a post (which I summarily deleted) saying that if I read the mechanics correctly, Rend would die anyway. At that point I hadn't confirmed with HB that I could not kill myself but...I'm glad PK did it.
I felt I played it just about as good as I could have, short of finding an alliance.
This is the second time I have been the lone wolf type and died just a day or so out of victory.
Basically, I did want the tome, because I figured if I had the tome, my powers would be greatly was my first assumption. It was true what I said about wanting the tome over the weekend. It is true I am barely on if at all and I didn't want to be a target for being the tome holder. When I came back over the weekend, I decided to change gears and act with madness. I usually don't live after day 3, because then everyone expects me to being evil or some sort of special, so I figured, acting insane was the only way to safeguard my life for awhile, which I did. I got lucky on the vigilante\family kill on night 2 and pretty much played to how I think people were acting.
My assumption was right in this game as I figured the bad guys to be mostly quiet if not inactive votes based on a bad guy killing an already dead guy (durax).

But where are the role PMs?
I only saw the prophet's. Also, those runes.
can not count beats for that to
be a mechanic
EDIT: Wait, is it 575 or 585?

Which is what it comes down to. Additionally mechanics that give people things to post about (besides just post whoring) are good.
Also, 5 7 5.
With that, I bow out for a few hours.
Thought so, in which case, what I had up there originally
DA is correct
A mass of uncultured swine
It is quite the shame.
And I'm out as well.
what?
No no, not in here. Phallagnorok thread. Just repeat what you said there, and I can post a very large and cruel (to the viewer, not the subject) picture.
I suppose that was kind of a...moral? Victory for you.
Because that doesn't really affect me either way.

Although I can pretty much guess that it was due to me acting like I usually do.
I opened it up, but there isn't much there.

Hurray!
If you want to.

*evil*
Yeah, Matatat. You did just fine ^_^
Heck, you outlived the entire REST of the network, and had the tome, like, forty times.
I wish I'd saved that PM....
