Yeah, I was pretty underpowered for a "KILL EVERYONE!" faction. Two kills on even nights + negative survivability wasn't going to take me the distance. Also, it never occurred to me how fractured the demon faction was.
However, thinking about it on the drive home, I think I just needed one more/different power: false seering. As in, the demons seer me and I seer as red (with the Majorly name), and if the village seers me I seer as either green or "Dark Hero groupie" or someshit. Then tip me off that the demons are disjointed, and I could play both sides and allow all the attention I got from singing and dancing be a boon. But I'd still be beatable by allowing the dark assembly to rat on me with the right questions (I wouldn't have "Overlord" in my name) or to random death.
Damn. Missed some board-specific settings that were set after the fact.
PROTIP if you set up a proboard and go to standard admin and click "Guests Must Login:" to Yes, then no one can see the board unless they're registered. Saves time having to go to the board itself and making any settings.
I'll just state here that I loved this Phalla and I am most appreciative of our two hosts for running it. It was a pretty epic Phalla. Very advanced and cool.
I think I was only guarded like twice during the whole game

Just read through the main Demon board, interesting stuff.
I should note that leaving Blarney alive wouldn't have worked at the end. Somebody had used an item of some sort on him (I think it was before I was brought on, so I don't know the details) that cancelled out the extra votes from the Tribunal judgement. I have to say, they did some pretty good acting pretending to be worried about the extra votes.

Unfortunately, it was all for naught as I completely failed to take the prinny votes into account.
Despite the fact that we lost, this was probably my best game yet as a bad guy. I felt really smart when I nailed Savant.

I was advertising that I was wonky pretty clearly. I had to do the song and dance routine to get my kills, and getting hit by the tribunal right away threw me off because I thought that they were actually directed by something. The better strategy for my role would have been to throw in with the demons, but I had no idea that I could slip in as easily as this game allowed.
Also, sorry Whod. But you have to blame Stew_Stick. I said to him that I didn't bother contacting you, because you were just an inactive vanillager. Stew_Stick didn't believe me and thought I was trying to protect you. :P It was nice to see you get bandwagon'd, though.

And I can't believe the Defenders of Earth lasted almost to the very end. It's practically a miracle.
Heh. You know, I was half-convinced that we were actually invulnerable this phalla near the end (before Zot got hosed by Baal, anyway). The defenders were up on their spaceship, I dreamed, invulnerable to attacks and able to kill one person and guard/seer another every night, but they didn't count as villagers for calculating demon victory. It was just some sort of oversight that we weren't told of this fact.
...Honestly I couldn't see how Zot (and Gumpy and I, to a lesser extent) had survived for so long. I agree with your miracle theory, CJ. :P

Aww, you don't *really* like to see me bandwagon'd.. do you!?

It's because you're a pro and you never miss!
...I'll just show myself out.
hi5!
Thinking about baseball?
Tried, but can't get over the steroid abuse.
Its because I'm blue, isn't it?
racist.
Don't know if these have been posted yet, so...
Zetta Boards (Qorzm / Squashua / Infidel)
All Demons Boards (All demons except stupid Jester313)

So a big thanks to CJ and Hylian!
Twice I believe. Vigilantes are annoying.

FWD tried to kill you, and it was blocked by Gumpy's guard that night. I think that was the only time you were attacked(not counting Baal).

Must... kill... Stew_Stick!
It did give Nion and FWD another day. :P
Well, I was going to try again on day 9 but Baal took care of him for me.
Well, hopefully see you all in the next game here.
Yay backstabbing Zot!
And Whod, don't blame only Stew. It smelled of evil when Aldo kept saying you were not worth his time ):
Who killed me?
Technically it wasn't me, going by the narrative.
The beam from space missed you as you had already gotten keeled :whistle:
