    I proclaim this the greatest Phalla ever.

    We must all bring our best game to be worthy of it.

    Playing this phalla ennobles the heart, sharpens the mind and exhaults the spirit; the words fall away leaving only light.

    I know you haven't. I don't blame you. People get all pissy when I call them stupid fucking idiots when they're being stupid fucking idiots. I'm not sure what that's all about.

    Rishiri was totally awesome except for the part where I got us all killed.

    I like to think the Lovecraft Phalla made up for it, as I was supposed to kill everyone that time.

    The common thread being that you and I were responsible for the death of the villages. :P

    I think everybody was very happy until they died, at which point they realized their role wasn't quite as good as they had hoped.

    Well, that was my experience anyways. And it certainly made things more interesting for everybody.

    It was interesting, but having the one throwaway role (furriner!) made it a little challenging to figure out what to do for the first couple of days.

    In the end I tried (and failed) to convince outed Commies that I was a sleeper agent while telling the fibbies that I would help them. They were gracious enough to let me live for a day while I tried. :/

    It was really interesting for me, since I was not only in the CIA but also one of the mole's contacts. Getting outed by Bad Kitty was probably the best thing that happened to me in that game, as it gave me a huge amount of credibility and let me get in contact with several other people. That, and it let the remaining two CIA officers keep their heads down.

    It's pretty easy to get killed in Phalla. Also, any side that wins has a tendency to attribute it to their own genius. Hell, look at Shinto's mini-ones and the reaction to the mafia victory in New York. I'm going to try to not hold it against anyone that called me stupid or crazy...but the Gods may not be so kind.

    Yeah, although to a certain extent we had no real reason to try anything fancy. I mean, there were still 6 of us left at that point (not including the sleeper agents, etc.) and none of our names were being discussed at all amongst the villagers. At 2 kills per day, it seemed like all we had to do was sit back and kill villagers while trying to remain inconspicuous. Then the vigilante managed to knock off one of us two nights in a row, and Kakos got voted off. Which would still have been salvageable if I hadn't gotten the bright idea that Cass was the vigilante and sent in orders to kill her and werehippy (who was being protected or something). Turns out she was some kind of weird one-shot "anybody who targets Cass gets killed", and werehippy had something similar.

    Not to mention, Casual Eddy forgot to send in orders to release Premier Kakos from jail, which would have been invaluable. And I, of course, neglected to tell Casual Eddy that gundam470 was the last remaining commie. Or something. It was weird.

    In retrospect, we should have been building alternate plans, but it's easy to get complacent when it looks like the odds are stacked in your favor. Sure, we screwed up in some places, but we had some pretty shitty luck towards the end there.

    I had a blast as a secret service agent, until Aroduc set me on fire for no reason. The way the mole idea worked within the CIA and Secret Service made even the smallest actions really interesting, at least for me. I loved that everyone was a special, too--great + fun way to get everyone involved.

    Bolded part demands a huge :D

    I was the CIA agent who went crazy at the end of that game. Managed to knock off two of you in a row and then, somehow, get enough people talking about how Cass is a vouched for special that one of you (Funky?) sent in the kill for her instead of me, which worked out nicely since I didn't have any protection at that point and I was the last CIA agent active.

    Overall, that game was great, though the last third or so was really inactive on the villager's side, though I think you commies still had a network going.

    LIGHTNING

    The problem with that was you didn't name me until I'd called you out, and then you named EVERYONE who called you out. The next day WereWulfy came out as the last FBI agent and gave me enough legitimate cover that the other mobster and I managed to stretched things out long enough to win.

    I can't take credit for that win though, tux did all the heavy lifting on that one. He got wulfy to trust him, then the village in general to do the same. At any point after I opened my big mouth and came after you the village could have, and should have, come after me and I would have deserved it for being such a dumbass.
