Well that's actually kinda complicated since our party pretty much turned on each other as soon as the Crown of Power appeared. Basically what happened was our cleric of Pelor decided to attack my binder right before he could make a bid for the Crown. While he was busy attacking my binder our fighter made a mad dash for the Crown and attempted to claim it for herself which pretty much ended the fight as both cleric and binder turned their attention to her. Somehow in the brawl the cleric and fighter wound up teaming up against my binder early on, apparently deaming him the most dangerous threat. Rather than fight them both my binder opted to teleport a short distance away and claim the Crown for himself around the same time everyone else was trying to.
My only beef with what happened here is that the cleric should have been focused more on the fighter who was not only lawful evil but a werewolf rather than my chaotic neutral binder. I know that clerics don't like binders but the fact is that no one was really sure what my character was since I never bothered to tell them and he always did his bindings in secret.
What makes the situation complicated is that technically my character beat out everyone one competing for the title of Demon Prince, however as the person DMing the campaign is not our primary DM (ie our dad) depending who's DMing at the time he didn't ascend to demon lord status.
The general consensus is that my binder got interrupted while he was absorbing the power and wasn't able to claim it all but still acquired some unique abilities (according to the guy DMing STAP (my brother) after our dad said my binder wasn't ascending), someone else (Dagon I think, it's either him or a lesser demon) claimed the crown (high DM's ruling), or my binder managed to become the new Prince of Demons and wiped out the two characters that turned on him (my ruling as I succeeded the necessary roll and DM these games from time to time). It really depends who's DMing at the time.
