WW LXXXIII Marvel Universe - Game Over! Rebel victory!

[Mimic]

Too late.

[Vision]

It is with misgivings that I issue this order, both because of all of the violent conflict in the past between Erik and myself, and also because in this current situation I believe the power of Magneto better spent than to protect someone who is nigh invulnerable such as myself.

Nevertheless this is but a quibble, because in most other respects I have agreed wholeheartedly with the decrees of Doom, and I shall not fail to support him now.

ORDER MAGNETO TO GUARD VISION

[Scarlet Witch]

Mimic -- any side bets on who gets hurt worst, the rebels or Galactus?

This would have been a lot funnier to witness, if the Vision had not had all that misgiving nonsense. Still funny, though. I'm sure the Vision will sleep well with his trusty guard by his side. :lol:

[hoopsguy]

With most of the effort focused on the Mission in Egypt, a group of heroes ready themselves to assault Galactus once again. Much is made of the role that Scarlet Witch will play with her probability manipulation, which when last used coincided with a very successful Mission.

Doom transports the forces up to Galactus' base using his teleportation machine, hoping to strike from a different direction this time. The heroes emerge directly in front of Galactus and begin their assault. Henry Pym assumes his enlarged form and begins to lay into Galactus, who still dwarves him in size. Cable, Kang, Jean Grey, and Hulk approach in a second wave, but that wave never arrives. Galactus unleashes what appears to be some form of an energy net that collapses around this group, leaving Henry Pym to do battle alone!

On the ground, Scarlet Witch's features are strained, as the air around her shimmers with an unknown force. The air around her feels electric and none dare stand close. In the air, Henry Pym momentarily takes the upper-hand against Galactus, forcing him back towards his ship!

That moment is fleeting, as the Devourer of Worlds recovers and casts Pym towards the ground at frightening speed. Pym shrinks himself to a smaller form and is gently corraled by Magnto's magnetic waves.

The remaining heroes flash before you, released from their temporary prison. Scarlet Witch collapses on the ground, spent. She rises, on her own (as none moved to help her) minutes later.

Galactus ignores this scene, remaining focused on his work.

[Mimic]

Mimic -- any side bets on who gets hurt worst, the rebels or Galactus?

Considering I spent 15 energy, I hope the rebels.

[Scarlet Witch]

Hrm.

[KangtheConqueror]

getting caught in that net was a nice waste of a big chunk of my energy.

[HenryPym]

wow, very glad I went on the Galactus mission now. My thanks to the Scarlet Witch

[KangtheConqueror]

If SW failed, our attacks have failed and Mimic can't do his thing anymore, we're seriously hosed regarding Galactus

[Barkeep49]

I'm guessing we have several players who are new to WW (welcome BTW!) or who haven't played in a while (welcome back). This combined with the super hero logins compels me to make a few reminders:

1. Profanity is allowed/disallowed on a game by game basis. These moderators seem to haven't said otherwise so no problems there.

2. Attack the argument or idea not the person. People seem far more into role playing in this game than normal, so it doesn't seem like we've reached a point where people are upset at what is being said. But the level of personal attacks is still worrying to me. The idea of attacking the argument or actions and not the person is what allows us to run most games in a fun way. Consider this in your posts moving forward.

3. There have been several deleted posts. As I haven't been reading along with my mod account, I haven't seen where they've happened, and so I'm guessing they are just deletions of duplicate posts. If so, no problem. Otherwise posts should not be deleted or edited.

This has been a great game so far and I'm looking forward to seeing how it continues to unravel.

Or, maybe, we should find the Herald. Ya know. Just a thought.

[Cable]

Heh - I thought I saw a certain real account as the last post in the thread, only to open the thread and see that they were no longer there.

I know who you are....cheater.

[Barkeep49]

Yeah that perhaps wasn't the best word choice considering the current state of things.

[Mimic]

I haven't deleted any posts. That would be....rebellous.

I thought the ability to delete a post has been taken away?

[Mr.Fantastic]

As I am a brilliant Scientist that has mastered most technology with the exception of message board software, I can safely say that a few of the posts deleted were from my alter-ego account. :) I have however cleared it with our moderator each time for my inability to learn how to post correctly!

[Barkeep49]

Only threads. Though asking that the right to delete a post be taken away for this forum is a good idea. Let me run it up the flagpole.

~BK49, YFWWM

[Mimic]

Or, maybe, we should find the Herald. Ya know. Just a thought.

I'm not sure just getting rid of the Herald would defeat Galactus. I'm thinking that more than likely that person just has the win condition that Galactus eats the planet.

I'm thinking there is something we need to do here in order to make Galactus vulnerable to our attacks up there.

[DrDoom]

Thus you will ever play second fiddle to Victor Von Doom, Reed.

If I had any idea on how to do such a thing, I'd be all for it.

I know who you are....cheater.

I ask that a player tells me if they post under their regular FOFC name. Upon doing that, if they copy/paste the content into a new post with their "in-game" name I'm fine with the delete. But the moderators should definitely be informed if/when this happens.

[JeanGrey]

If I had any idea on how to do such a thing, I'd be all for it.
Yeah I have no clue either. I'm just trying to spitball here.

[Aardwolf]

It seems a couple of my assumptions have not been correct.

[DrDoom]

Indeed, Galactus seems to be growing impervious to our attacks. The device Doom is working on should stop that, but finding the Herald would not hurt either as he may be lending material aid to Galactus somehow.

It is also possible that apart from Pym the others did not expend enough energy to have an effect on Galactus (though Kang claims it is not so in his case). Or simply that we require larger numbers.

I had hoped to push Galactus back today, for my device will not be ready for operation yet. I can only hope that a convincing show of force in our attacks today will give him pause.

[Mimic]

I'm thinking there is something we need to do here in order to make Galactus vulnerable to our attacks up there.

Now that's a good thought.

[Magneto]

No shit the rebels didn't know who he was, how would they? and by the very SAME token, how could *I* have known he wasn't a rebel either? I had no foreknowledge that skrulls were even IN the game. So How does this negate the fact that I 'felt" someting was amiss with Mr. Storm? Oh thats right, it doesn;t, you simply can't maintain a timeline in your haste to persecute.

Not knowing that he was in fact a skrull sort of eliminates any premeditation on my part don't you think? I was assuming Torch was a rebel, nothing more. Again, a baseless point on your part. You're not paying attention to the flow of events.

And yet again you fal back on the "you lied to us" No shit. If you had actually read my posts you would see that I expended points on the mission as well as in my attack. Now I don;t know how many points you had to start, but my pool was rather limited. And just to reiterate my response to your claims that I was not vulnerable:

I had already gone on a mission so i could not use my defensive powers, I expended points on both the mission and the attack on Storm, so I had only a point left to work with. SO yes, I was worried about retaliation from the forces I BELIEVED at the time I was striking against.

Try thinking in the terms of how things actually happened instead of making it up as you go, then perhaps it might sink into that magnetic field you call a brain.

I've had enough of your ridiculous time wasting, we have a mission to fulfill.

*sigh*
I agree that this discourse has descended into the realms of the farce.

Let us examine the alleged timeline from your perspective.
1) You assign X energy to the failed mission.
2) You determine that something about Young Storm's inane banter rings false, and determine to attack him.
3) You choose to allocate 3 EP to hit him, thus leaving yourself, by your own admission, vulnerable to attack by forces unknown because you would have only 1 EP left. You make this decision, to leave yourself so dangerously vulnerable that you would have to lie several times over the next couple of days, based simply on something that you "felt."

I 'feel' that you continue to lie. And not very well.

You "felt" something amiss with the Torch. What, praytell? What did Storm say that made you feel so sure he was bad that you would leave yourself vulnerable and in a position where you would have to lie repeatedly?

[hoopsguy]

Mission participants: GhostRider, Colossus, Quicksilver, SilverSurfer, Aardwolf, Mimic, EmmaFrost

Results: failed to destroy statue, casualties sustained

[Mr.Fantastic]

Before we jump to conclusions, can several of you on the mission give your input on your view of how the mission went down? I ask for several different points of view please.

[Cable]

It seems a couple of my assumptions have not been correct.

I'm sure you are the only one surprised by this.

[JeanGrey]

Well this has been a poor day for the forces of good. I'm a little upset with seeing the Egyptian mission fail.

[DrDoom]

Doom's wrath knows no bounds! Traitors and loyal subjects both will suffer for this failure. Doom is surrounded by fools, fools!

[Quicksilver]

Emma Frost is dead.

[Quicksilver]

Mimic performed well. We lost. I got the impression there wasn't enough people, but that we all spent a good bit of energy.

[KangtheConqueror]

Yeah I want to know how all that firepower including 15 from Mimic could even possibly fail.

[Colossus]

Enough magneto, I have stated my reasonings and laid my actions plainly before everyone here, you it would seem and perhaps aardwolf, are the only ones showing this much interest. I recommend you find a better target, your accusation is flimsier than you say my reasons are.

I already said it was a feeling, an instinct, there never was any 'thing' specificly. If you can't accept that, go suck a black hole. I have nothing further to say to you. you waste our time and energy with your petty badgering.

[GhostRider]

Here's my take: Mimic was kind of the man, although early on Surfer and Aardvark apparently worked well together. I did not get a mention, which I assume is due to the fact that I could only contribute three points but given my multiplier, that should be 9 of damage. I was the weak link apparently. From what I picked up, we did not see Emma die but she was surrounded by bats and when they left, there she was. I didn't see any evidence of sabotage or even of anybody "mailing it in."

[Magneto]

Understand, it gives me no pleasure to call out one of my own kind.

go suck a black hole.

Your suggestion for my new power is duly noted.

[Aardwolf]

Ghost Rider was not even mentioned in teh battle. Collossus cleared a path to the room the statue was in but did nothing from that point. QuickSilver temporarily heightened my senses and followed Collossus to the room. Mimic seemed to perform well. When the dust cleared Emma lay dead.

[JeanGrey]

I hardly think we can be surprised at this result. The briefing made clear that we needed overwhelming force. Decisions were made to split our forces equally between the two missions. Understandable, but still what resulted in this.

Oh BTW, never commented on it but I'm opposed to a weekend mission.

[GhostRider]

Quiksilver was the first one into the throne room, but that's it. I believe aardvark is mistaken and it was SilverSurfer that heightened him but he might know better than me.

[IronFist]

Reading up, not sure I can catch up before 5:30pm

JOIN EGYPT MISSION

I can change if needed.

[Mimic]

Ugh. My multi-quote got lost on the internet. That sucks.

Anyhow, the Surfer increased Aardwolf's powers so we could find the right place, which I guess is good that he came along. We met the eyeless humanoids again and Colossus helped fight through them. Quicksilver ran ahead but I'm not sure what he did exactly.

At that point, I grew to immense height and showed Colossus what a real man's package looks like and fought the statue (grew claws and something else I can't remember). I suppose I would've beaten a mortal, but not a god....which come on, if I can take on Galactus (boosted of course) I can't beat this guy? He squeezed me, I broke into a bunch of little Mimics and then bats and Emma's dead.

I'm not sure what Emma did on the mish.

Deadline was 3PM CST

[Magneto]

I would note that the White Queen was the one besides myself to order an attack on Colossus this morning. Circumstantial evidence, I recognize.

[hoopsguy]

Note - orders and attacks issued by the White Queen stand.

[Mimic]

Oooo...didn't lose multi-quote.

Galactus fire twin beams out of his eyes that strike the form of the HumanTorch - who is suspended in air and writhes in pain for several moments. He transforms before you eyes, taking the shape of the Thing, then Mr. Fantastic, next the Invisible Woman, and finally a quickly-shifting amalgamation of each of these characters. Finally, the attack relents and the body - now in the form of an enlarged Skrull - falls to the ground lifeless.
Evidently the SuperSkrull's win conditions were to prevent Galactus from eating the planet and something must've triggered his attack. This perhaps?
I've got a bad feeling about this...sorry big guy.

Nova Blast Kang the Conqueror
That being said, Kang was the last one to attack the Destroyer, and thus was the killing blow. Remember this mission would last until we defeated the destroyer. In that case, what did the Human Torch mean about a bad feeling?
There is entirely too much stuff going on for me to answer completely in a timely manner.

I believe the SuperSkrull was on our side (at least that of against Galactus). I don't know why he attacked Kang (will get to that later) but I think the Herald is still in our midst.

I think we can clear the following of being the Herald:

Attacks on the Destroyer:
Magneto #1362
Quicksilver #1364
Hulk #1368
Punisher #1373
Mimic #1380
Vision #1398
Kang #1399

Mission #2 (which was not sabotaged)
Hulk
Human Torch
Silver Surfer
Colossus
Gambit
Jean Grey

Cleared by Human Torch:
Silver Surfer
Silver Samurai
Colossus
Scarlet Witch
Apocalypse
Hulk
Mimic
Cable

The Beast was attacked so that leaves:


1. Nightcrawler
2. Emma Frost
3. Ghost Rider
9. Professor X
10. Mr. Fantastic
11. Iron Fist
13. Henry Pym
17. Dr. Doom
19. Firebird
22. Aardwolf
23. Nick Fury
25. Spider Man
Below is my amended list of people we should look at as being the Herald. Obviously the first three are no longer on the list.
Sorry, must've missed it. Then that's good as it leaves us one less person to worry about.

Reposting amended list:

1. Nightcrawler
2. Emma Frost
9. Professor X

11. Iron Fist
13. Henry Pym
19. Firebird
22. Aardwolf
23. Nick Fury
25. Spider Man

[DrDoom]

This is most disturbing. My list of suspects grows longer, and I fear the traitors' influence over us grows. We must catch a traitor tonight. Who then will it be. To my mind both Colossus and Scarlet Witch draw fire, but how much is combative personalities and how much treachery?

Aardwolf defies my orders and then takes apart in an abortive mission which results in the death of Doom's prelate. Sabotage?

Others fly under the radar. Iron Fist, Cable, Punisher, Nick Fury. They seem to hope to escape attention, yet draw the eye of Doom.

And then there are those former prelates, Doom knows some of them must have served the rebels. Mimic seems to have redeemed himself by some accounts. What of Jean Grey, Kang and Silver Surfer? At least one belongs dead at the feet of Doom.

[Cable]

Guys, guys, guys. It looks like the rebellion is really kick our asses. We need to get a bad guy tonight. I'm still wondering about Mimic, but there are others more suspect.

STANDARD ATTACK COLOSSUS

[Aardwolf]

Quiksilver was the first one into the throne room, but that's it. I believe aardvark is mistaken and it was SilverSurfer that heightened him but he might know better than me.


This is correct. I misread the PM, I saw Silver and got it mistaken. That means I take back my incorrect asumptions post. I mistaken thought I read QS had heightened my powers and then entered the room but it was SilverSurfer and then QS merely entered the room and did nothing else.

I continue to question QuickSilver's loyalty. Running into a room and standing there while Mimic does his thing is not exactly helping.

[DrDoom]

Iron Fist arrives too late to stop the death of his prelate. A classic move of treachery. Firebird, Iron Fist both failed to act today. Perhaps one of them must pay the price, to prevent further treachery in the night.

Quicksilver seems to have not helped the cause despite going, perhaps it should be him.

[KangtheConqueror]

Frankly, I'm looking at Scarlet Witch today. It sounds like her powers could've made the difference today in the Egypt mission and while she helped the Galactus mission by switching (later in the day) she could be aiding her own cause there.

[HenryPym]

I would think I should be removed from the list of potential Galactus Heralds's after being the first hero to make him take a step towards his ship. And from my reading of the mission recap again, I think Scarlet Witch had something to do with my success.

[Vision]

I have many suspicions about Iron Fist, my darling Scarlet Witch, Mimic (still, but he does seem to have redeemed himself at least a bit), and Jean Grey. I also, to some degree, believe Colossus is not being forthright with our contingent. In the interest of supporting those of you in whom I do have some trust, and with the thought that it may take a lot of damage to eliminate the armored warrior, I choose to:

STANDARD ATTACK COLOSSUS

[Mimic]

This is correct. I misread the PM, I saw Silver and got it mistaken. That means I take back my incorrect asumptions post. I mistaken thought I read QS had heightened my powers and then entered the room but it was SilverSurfer and then QS merely entered the room and did nothing else.

I continue to question QuickSilver's loyalty. Running into a room and standing there while Mimic does his thing is not exactly helping.

I thought about that too, but the description was not really all-inclusive. Like what did Emma do? Anyhow, I thought about him running ahead to warn, but obviously they knew we were coming since we had to fight through the eyeless ones.

Anyhow, I'm out for a bit.

STANDARD ATTACK COLOSSUS

Based upon what I've heard from him today, either he's getting his stories mixed up or he's not loyal.

[Magneto]

Order Punisher to Guard Emma Frost, the White Queen

My body shall go on the mission to Egypt but I shall not commit to the mission as I have to previous ones, because, quite frankly, I think it's someone else's turn.

Commit to Egypt Mission

Prelate Vision -- might I recommend changing your guard from myself to the Punisher? I am deeply, deeply saddened that his original task cannot be fulfilled.

[SilverSurfer]

My take:

I was able to use the Power Cosmic to heighten Aardwolf's senses so that he could detect the lair. We ran into a legion of eyeless zombies.

Colossus makes a path through them that Quicksilver goes through while Aardwolf attacks the zombies.

Quicksilver gets to the throne room, there's a 30 foot statue of Khonshu that is shooting black bolts. Mimic comes in as a giant form and starts beating on the statue.

Khonshu changes to a serpent and starts to crush Mimic. Mimic changes to a army of smaller clones. Khonshu transforms to a cloud of bats, everything goes dark, loud and confusing and the next thing we know the statue is gone and Emma Frost is gouged to death.

[Aardwolf]

Aardwolf defies my orders and then takes apart in an abortive mission which results in the death of Doom's prelate. Sabotage?


If I had not been there the results would have been even worse. Your orders seemed to split up the forces instead of putting the majority on the rebellion mission where it should have been. The importance of that mission was clearly shown. You have already proven to be a traitor once and I question your loyalties. It seems that you are leading sheep to the slaughter.

I will fight the rebellion with everything I have. I call on those who want to defeat this rebellion to join me in the fight. We can defeat them but must get a victory with our next attack. I am willing to change to either QuickSilver or Collossus with tonight's attack. Both still draw my attention and concern. I feel that QuickSilver is the one we need to concentrate on but both may be the way to go.

[Mimic]

I would think I should be removed from the list of potential Galactus Heralds's after being the first hero to make him take a step towards his ship. And from my reading of the mission recap again, I think Scarlet Witch had something to do with my success.

Very true. I just multi-quoted from over a day ago, so you should also be off that list. Do you agree with the thought process?

Really, I gotta go pick up our food for my hungry kids.

[Colossus]

Guys, guys, guys. It looks like the rebellion is really kick our asses. We need to get a bad guy tonight. I'm still wondering about Mimic, but there are others more suspect.

STANDARD ATTACK COLOSSUS


Do you have some further evidence of my so called treachery? Or are you simply following badger-boys lead?

[Magneto]

with the thought that it may take a lot of damage to eliminate the armored warrior

I had not thought of this, Prelate, but you are likely correct. I must depart for the evening, and will not return until after night falls.

[ooc] With regard to the weekend, I can generally only check in late in the evening. Being much of a contributor would be difficult. Eliminating my drone, however, might be attractive to some. Or many :) [\ooc]

And there goes the bandwagon, based on...nothing. YAY team.

As someone mentioned to me earlier, the body count is starting to pile up, lets not add to it by removing me.

yes I do agree with the thought process with your list. Doesn't mean its right, but i agree with it.

[SilverSurfer]

My attack goes towards the one I've suspected for days unless requested otherwise by Lord Doom.

STANDARD ATTACK JEAN GREY

[Colossus]

I have things to tend to, I shall return later.

[HenryPym]

I have to say that I think the evidence against Colossus is flimsy enough that I won't be attacking him tonight. I also do not think we should be attacking Scarlet Witch because I do think she was helpful on the Galactus mission.

I could be up for an attack on one of the original prelates. Lord Doom what are your thoughts about Jean Grey now that two of our telepaths are confirmed good (and dead)

[DrDoom]

I will let the chips fall where they may as we consider this new evidence. For now I will say:

<B>UNATTACK SCARLET WITCH</b>

The Witch has at least expended her energy for today, and while not cleared by any means, I turn Doom's eyes elsewhere. There are many who evaded action today. Iron Fist and Firebird remain free to act tonight.

Firebird and many others seem simply not to be around. Iron Fist, you are there though. Can you provide any reason that Doom should not blast you with all his might?

Otherwise, Doom may act with his minions in targeting Colossus. He is impudent if not treacherous.

[Punisher]

Others fly under the radar. Iron Fist, Cable, Punisher, Nick Fury. They seem to hope to escape attention, yet draw the eye of Doom.

Doom,

I don't fly under any radars. I destroy them. I'm here and was willing to defend Emma to my death. I serve you and only you. I want this rebellion squashed and done with so we can sit back and rest.

[KangtheConqueror]

I have to say that I think the evidence against Colossus is flimsy enough that I won't be attacking him tonight. I also do not think we should be attacking Scarlet Witch because I do think she was helpful on the Galactus mission.

Galactus is an enemy to the traitors too my man

[DrDoom]

Jean Grey has been on my list of suspects, indeed, Henry. Many are, but I agree that we must look to some of the former prelates and she seems most likely of them to me.

[Punisher]

Prelate Vision -- might I recommend changing your guard from myself to the Punisher? I am deeply, deeply saddened that his original task cannot be fulfilled.
I live to serve. Allow me to take his place. Anyone after you or me will certainly have something else to worry about.

[Punisher]

At least in the night phase.

[Punisher]

Lord Doom,

Who do you wish for me to attack? My time is fleeting. I'm due to kill numerous gang members in about 10 minutes.

[DrDoom]

though I am not certain about the attack on Colossus, if you are going to be gone, Punisher, I would direct your attack there. Many people have targeted him already and we must at least assure that we lynch one of our suspects or fear Galactus's wrath.

[Punisher]

As you wish. Unfortunately, this is a large gang and will likely take me until 9-10pm Central time to destroy.

ATTACK COLOSSUS

[IronFist]

Out of character: Sorry, I am having a real hard time keeping up with the mid day deadlines. I don't have the time to hit it that hard in the middle of the day and different times for deadline each day makes it hard too. It just makes me look like I am doing things I don't want to do. I have PM'd the mods to see if they can find someone to replace me.

[IronFist]

I will also place an attack ( I won't be back before deadline)

STANDARD ATTACK ON COLOSSUS

No real reason other than Doom has not picked a suitable target after the Witch.

[DrDoom]

ooc: thank you for the response Iron Fist. I was thinking of targeting you but wondered if it was just that.

[DrDoom]

I must attend to affairs of state and may not return until night. For now this is the best Doom can do.

<b>DOCTOR DOOM ATTACKS COLOSSUS WITH MAGIC</b>

I see no reason to waste my magic elsewhere, and several intuitions make me think we are making the right move here.

[JeanGrey]

Jean Grey has been on my list of suspects, indeed, Henry. Many are, but I agree that we must look to some of the former prelates and she seems most likely of them to me.
I have to say this frustrates me. You shoved me aside today away from where I could have been of help, away from the Egyptian mission because of your suspicion. And that failed. I followed your orders.

[KangtheConqueror]

If Doom doesn't want the Witch that's fine, but I don't think bandwagoning the big fella is wise. I know this paints me poorly in what my reasoning is, but with Mimic showing well in the mission I think I've got a 50/50 crack here.

REVOKE ATTACK SCARLET WITCH
ATTACK JEAN GREY

[KangtheConqueror]

And with that, I be out.

[Scarlet Witch]

I will let the chips fall where they may as we consider this new evidence. For now I will say:

<B>UNATTACK SCARLET WITCH</b>

The Witch has at least expended her energy for today, and while not cleared by any means, I turn Doom's eyes elsewhere. There are many who evaded action today. Iron Fist and Firebird remain free to act tonight.

Otherwise, Doom may act with his minions in targeting Colossus. He is impudent if not treacherous.

Thank You, Lord Doom. I regret that the mission did not go as planned.

Lying as a villager is something to be very careful about. That care doesn't seem present here.

[GhostRider]

I follow my leader and

standard attack Collosus

[Mr.Fantastic]

Can someone give me the reason for the votes on Jean Grey? I don't know that I understand why people are voting her? It seems pretty much that Colossus is dead at this point though, and even though I don't really do much damage, No sense in putting someone else closer to death if there is no realistic chance for a lynch and it would only help the rebels.

Standard Attack Colossus

[Beast]

My Lord Doom,

It is with the greatest regrets I am capable of expressing that I was unable to fulfill your wishes today and assist in the daily assault on Galactus. My attentions were divereted in a manner that did not allow me to meet your request I never got a chance to read the board from work. My department got a new person added, and I had her shadowing me for the entire day, including my lunch break, where I normally catch up

Please accept the humblest apologies of your servant.

Also, the Manipulator has informed me that my attack against the witch cannot be enforced, as it was outside the chronological parameter of this day. As a result I have been requested to reexpress my choice.

Her failures of today do nothing to defray my beliefs that we succeeded against the sentinels with out her assistance.

Standard Attack Scarlet Witch

[NickFury]

Nick Fury reporting back, and I apologze for not being around to aid that mission. I'll join up with one of the two next time, whichever seems more important.

I'm going to stick with my gut from yesterday as it looks like the big man has enough votes on him at this point.

It's because I messed up the protect order back on Day 2.

[Mimic]

Catching up now. Doom,

I don't fly under any radars. I destroy them. I'm here and was willing to defend Emma to my death. I serve you and only you. I want this rebellion squashed and done with so we can sit back and rest.
Nice RP, but little else here. You were ordered to do this...other than that this whole statement means nothing.

[Mimic]

Okay, I see Frank Castle did a little more...

[Mimic]

Not too much going on now I guess. Colossus deserves getting it tonight, no doubt, but if he turns out to be loyal, then where do we go from here?

[JeanGrey]

Not too much going on now I guess. Colossus deserves getting it tonight, no doubt, but if he turns out to be loyal, then where do we go from here?
I keep waiting for someone, somewhere, to have some sort of night information results, but yeah I feel we're a little adrift. Frankly rather than the colusus I'd rather keep knocking off the lowkey people. We will find a bad guy eventually. And when we have a record regarding that person we can perhaps get the rest like a house of cards.

[HenryPym]

Hey Jean,

If you are "just" a villager, then convince me of it. Tell me why I shouldn't be voting for you tonight.

[JeanGrey]

Hey Jean,

If you are "just" a villager, then convince me of it. Tell me why I shouldn't be voting for you tonight.
I've got nothing. And why would I? You can't exactly prove you're a villager either, frankly. At the moment we've got only a few people who we can say good things about. For most of us? There's nothing. So if you think I'm guilty, you think I'm guilty. I can tell you that the biggest evidence against me is my making a mistake two nights ago. If that's enough for your vote, so be it. Like I said there's not a whole lot of evidence to go around.

[HenryPym]

Jean,

That's why I'm trying to work with you here because there's not a lot out there about you. You've done missions or you've guarded each night which means you can't have done any regular special actions. I have to think your pretty damn powerful and must be able to do something that will help us, but so far this telekinetic shield is the first power I've seen from you I think.

I have a lot of energy. I've used a bunch in the two missions I went on. I was ready to use most of the rest today on the Egyptian force. I didn't use it on Galaticus cause I think that's futile right now and even if it's not, I think my efforts are futile based on what happened last time I invested energy.

There's the fact that I can allow unlimited PMs between team members. And then there is the Phoenix force. I thought at first I'd want to let it out. It's why Quicksilver attacked me. Now? Now I think it's much much better for everyone if it stays with-in. The advantages don't outweight the drawbacks, at least not yet.

Frankly, just having the information out there that I can facilitate PMs seems to me to be a lot more about my powers than most. And now there is even more.

Anyone know where the how much people standard attack for info is?

[HenryPym]

I fear that the task of compiling this list is beyond even my not-inconsiderate intellect, especially when the likes of team membership must be considered. I can see several faults in the above list already. Things would be made easier if everyone stated their base attack and how much damage they attempted to deal out every day. I am aware that I have probably missed out people who have already stated how they attacked or how much damage they normally inflict but you'll forgive me for not wanting to search through again. I shall attempt to keep this list updated.

1. Nightcrawler - Base 1, presumed attack at base day one and two
2. Emma Frost - Base 2, attacked at base every day.
3. Ghost Rider -
4. Hulk - Base 4,
5. Apocalypse - Base 2, presumed attack at base day one and two
6. Silver Surfer - Base 2,
7. Colossus - Base 2, attacked for 6 day one, Base attack day 3
8. Jean Grey - Base 1
9. Professor X - Base 1
10. Mr. Fantastic - Base 1
11. Iron Fist
12. Mimic - Base 1
13. Henry Pym - Base 2
14. Vision - Base 1, attacked at base every day
15. Kang the Conqueror - Base 2
16. Beast - Base 1
17. Dr. Doom -
18. Cable -
19. Firebird -
21. Quicksilver - Base 2
22. Aardwolf - Base 1, attacked at base every day
23. Nick Fury - Base 1
25. Spider Man - Base 1, attacked at base day 1
26. Magneto - Base 1
27. Punisher - Base 1, attacked at 3 day one,
28. SuperSkrull (aka Human Torch) - Base 1, presumed attack at base day one and two
30. Scarlet Witch - Base 1
31. Silver Samurai - Base 1

You should not feel that you have to reply to my directives just because I am the second prelate.

Oh, silly me. That came out wrong. You should feel that you have to reply to my directives because I am the second prelate. Unless you are Dr Doom or Mr Fantastic, of course.

Thank you, in advance, for your co-operation.

You mean this?

[JeanGrey]

You mean this?
Yes, thanks.

[DrDoom]

Henry Pym, while I was also suspicious of Iron Fist, he has informed us recently of some reasons for his absence. Doom tends to believe them for if he is lying he is more dastardly than Doom.

Quicksilver contributes another hit and run. You only move yourself up on the target list.

[HenryPym]

yeah doom i tend to believe him more than I did because of that. but i didn't have anyone else I felt good about voting for.

[Mimic]

I guess it's a quiet Friday night now.

I think somebody else broached the topic, but what's happening this weekend?

[DrDoom]

I would prefer to have some night information also to go by, but it seems hard to come by in this game, Jean. I do not think it is necessarily time to attack you, but I understand people's desire to find the treacherous Prelate. Doom hopes to know more soon and strike with a heavy gauntlet.

I asked hoopsguy earlier today since I wasn't sure what my weekend availability would be. He mentioned that there wouldn't be any weekend play earlier. I don't know if that changed, but last I heard after the lynch deadline tonight, night deadline will be monday morning early.

STTANDARD ATTACK COLOSSUS

It might not seem like self-preservation, but it is.

[Mimic]

I'll tell ya who's been useless it's the webhead. Here are his TOTAL contributions to the thread so far. If he has a problem with availability, he should say something.

Basic Attack Punisher

Join SHIELD.

Join Galacticus Mission.

Ah, there we go.

How about an invite to SHIELD or Strike Squad?

Anyone? Beuller?

I could use a team invite (not sure I want to join any Brotherhood of God team, or whatever it is).

:)

And I will gladly go on the Galaticus mission.

So do we need to come up with an action today? Or is the first deadline for anything tomorrow at 9CST?

Wow! I have... uh... been kind of busy with Mary Jane for a little while, but have just caught up (although still not quite understanding everything - I guess MJ was a little distracting)...

Anyhow, I'm gonna scan back through and try to fill in the gaps of my understanding of our situation and my best course of action. I'm open to suggestions at this point as well.

- Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider Man

[Mr.Fantastic]

What I want to understand is what the interplay between the Silver Samurai, Aardwolf and Quicksilver is. The way they have all presented their cases against each other have been for the most part incoherent, without reason and non-influencing..

The three as best I can remember off the top of my head have had alot of in-voting and pretty much stayed away from whatever the group consensus has been every day.. and they all seem to be equally against each other.. for seemingly NO REASON....

When Aardwolf made his reveal yesterday of Quicksilver and Silver Samurai being bad and we must kill them.. that was all.. he never really expounded on it until today when he basically gave an answer of not liking their votes.. I somewhat chalked it down to likely being a player who might not be as used to werewolf and just trying to figure out what they could...

I then started to wonder tonight when that threesome once again started with the incestuous voting.. with these heroic alter-egos that we all wear.. Maybe that is exactly the way they want to come across. By giving less then stellar reasons for a lynch, they place their vote on each other in a way that none of us really find any desire to follow. We continue to chase our tails after the "hot read" of the day, while they stay out of the frey.

Eventually when one of them is lynched, the others look better as well with the "See I told you he was bad, I have been after him for days! Now maybe you will believe me??"

Maybe I am way off base, and I should go back to look at past days attacks, but right now that is starting to creep in my mind as I have no idea otherwise what those three are doing.

[Quicksilver]

not a hit and run. I voted him before! now, someone gets pulled apart, he seems a reasonable choice!

ask me anything!

[SilverSamurai]

Samurai immediately jumped on the "no lynch" attack proposal day one, a plan which would make all day one activity useless to try to disect (a perfecgt hiding place for the rebellion and their day one attacks). Then the Samurai seemingly attacked the target with added energy (though this went against the idea of the original plan) and was too quick to be defensive about the attack after seeing that the damage dealt was posted so that all could see the numbers did not add up to a minimum attack. In addition there was a recent mission in which he apparantly did nothing to help.

Did it not occur to you that, with all the dealings I have that take my attention in a day, that I might not look for an easy attack option on the first day? Especially on a day when we know nothing? How was the attack plan any worse than normal? How am I guilty for immediately accepting a logical attack plan, especially one which fit so well with my own schedule?

Can you explain "added energy"? I would respond to you there, but I don't know what you mean. If you mean the Human Torch was an energy-based superhero, then, yes, that did tie into why I chose to attack him, which was based on my own abilities and testing them out.

Quick to be defensive? I did not respond to the damage postings for some time. If you participated in an attack where you knew you did very little damage and saw that your target took a lot of damage, would you not wonder why? Why would you not look askance at the other attacker, on what was to be a light, energy-maintenace day for all of us? And it seems Colossus has certainly drawn more attention since then, hasn't he? Plus, you must have missed it, Colossus did confirm he pretty much did all that damage, so I was right to question it.

As for that last, you will have to take that up with the spirits of the universe. I went earnestly and expended my energy, but I must guess my value was little to that mission. Or it was completely taken care of before I was needed. Let's face it, that mission was a smashing success.

No, Aardwolf, your failure to apply logic to this situation, and your doggedness in pursuing me, deserving of little suspicion, tells me you are yourself only trying to avoid getting in the mix with the rest of the group on bigger issues.

So I will attack you today.

STANDARD ATTACK AARDWOLF

[JeanGrey]

I'll tell ya who's been useless it's the webhead. Here are his TOTAL contributions to the thread so far. If he has a problem with availability, he should say something.
No joke. I was real pleased with the damage we did him yesterday and then today? Nada. I thought for sure we stood a chance of nailing him today.

[Quicksilver]

unvote Aardwolf

[DrDoom]

Evening Quicksilver. Perhaps you can expound on how much energy you spent on today's mission and the reasons for its utter failure.

yeah Mimic, I agree with you. He's clearly not being played or there's something going on we don't know about yet.

Spiderman has proven imperious to most attacks. And I think he's bad. Or at least not working to the common good even if he's a villager.

There is something else of great interest about Spiderman. Doom knows what it is and I suspect you do also.

[JeanGrey]

Yeah looking over the threesome of Quiksilver/Aardwolf/SilverSamurai I'm not sure how much is there. I mean Aardwolf voting day after day for SilverSamurai means Silver is bound to respond at some point, good or bad.

I don't think it is that he is imperious to most attacks. I know or have a good feeling to what his trick is, but not sure I want to reveal it until I have a better feel for where his allegiance lies. Right now I think he is just AWOL.

I must admit, even with my intellect, I cannot completly grasp what exactly happened here. Why would you not have recommended yourself. You have put your telekinesis shield in place, which would lead one to conclude you will be protected significantly against any damage directed towards you tonight, but instead of recommending yourself, or even any other person that may have full reserves of vitality, you suggested the one among us that is likely in dire physical condition due to the savagery he faced yesterday.

Cause I think Spiderman will avoid Quicksilver's attack. I, on the other hand, would have to waste energy to do so. And I'm trying to keep my powder dry for the next mission that comes along, in hopes I can make a difference. I'm sick of losing missions.

Oh and my shield doesn't work against all attacks. Including, I believe, the kind Quicksilver has (though to be honest I've not been paying perfect attention to that).

You do realize you contradict yourself here. You are expecting that Spiderman will be able to evade Quicksilver's attack, which means you are assuming it is a physical attack.

But then you state that you don't believe your shield would protect you from Quicksilver's attack, which means you are fearful that it would not be a physical attack.

That's not contradictory. Who is to say my shield works against physical attacks?

"No joke. I was real pleased with the damage we did [Spiderman] yesterday and then today? Nada. I thought for sure we stood a chance of nailing him today."

So clearly another motive was the hope that if damage did go through it might finish him off.

[DrDoom]

Indeed.

I do not deny that. Though I don't think that it's very likely we'd kill. Much more likely he might just be kept wounded.

[Mr.Fantastic]

And let's not overlook the fact that I think SPIDERMAN is BAD for the village. I was just talking bad stuff about him BEFORE encouraging someone else to attack him. This seems like an important detail not to be lost.


Can you clarify for me to make sure I understand what you are selling here?

Do you think Spiderman is bad as in evil, or do you think his lack of participation is bad for the village but he may or may not be bad?

I think he might be bad. I think his lack of participation IS bad. Either way killing Spidey? Not so bad.

[hoopsguy]

Today was a dark, depressing day for the forces of Doom. Not that there are a lot of cheery days while in servitude of this madman, but this one was particularly frustrating as it involved defeat at the hands of the rogue god Khonshu and the rebels.

Colossus bears the brunt of the frustration. The double-talking Russian with the secret agenda must be a rebel, right? Right? For the love of all things Doom, right??? The steel skin of Colossus is able to repel a number of the attacks, but not all of them. GhostRider's magical flame burns into his skin, DrDoom's mystic attack sears, him, and EmmaFrost's early morning attack is still rattling arond his skull. When Hulk brings the pain, it is all over for Piotr Rasputin.

JeanGrey finds herself under fire as well, but is able to shield off the brunt of the attacks with a telekinetic shield. She urges her attackers (Kang, NickFury, and SilverSurfer) to turn their attention elsewhere if they value all of your lives.

SilverSamurai buries his blade into Aardwolf, who bleeds profusely but is still standing.

A final review of the life and times of Colossus indicate that he was, sadly, another Apocalypse/Doom "loyalist". Not the most willing of the group, but still your ally nonetheless.

Ok, I won't get all over your case then. If you were trying to say you feel he is evil, I was going to ask how you came to this assumption.. because so far he has done so little that I barely know he is even around much less have a read on him.

I know it is not a safe assumption, but generally a lack of interest such as that feels more like mailing it in and not really a sign of being evil.. but there obviously are exceptions to every rule.

And I think it's this prevailing assumption which lets players slip UTR. They point to someone else less active than they and say "See I'm not UTR." So I say, let's not offer refuge for those evils. Lack of participation gives us nothing to analyze.

Dammit! I don't understand why he had to aggravate Magneto. He also wasn't paying very good attention since he forgot the Torch nova blasted Kang.

I can't quite put my finger on why, but this post just strikes me as very very strange.

[SilverSurfer]

There is a shimmer in the atmosphere tonight. I know Galactus, and I know this sign as his. I sense he is hurt -- far more than we thought. We may be close to victory against him. I sense the opposite for the rebels.

I wish to lead the next Galactus mission.

[Aardwolf]

That was not an expected result. I was unfortunately detained so I could not change my attack, which would have been to hit and run QuickSilver who did nothing to help in the rebel mission.

I am a little curious about Samurai again as he attacked me based on an early statement being the justification. I will assume that he did not see my later statement about not knowing the back-pedalling of collossus about the day one attack amount which made me need to reconsider my stands on the Samurai. There is only one things my instincts are certain of and that is QuickSilver. His vote today again starts with a hit and run, then attempts a quick justification for it when called out but immediately changes off me once Samurai attacks me.

Ah, if that's the case, I am sorry I carried forward with the attack (although, to be fair, it was the third attack on me by you, so I can't be too sorry). As you surmined, I did not read the later post, or much of anything, short on time as I was. I am planning to catch up a lot this weekend.

I am glad to see you at least see the error of your ways.

[Firebird]

Hello all, I am in a hotel now and had no internet last night or today until now. Sorry, let me get caught up over the last bunch of pages and find out what is what

[Firebird]

I cannot. I am unsure what to make of the entire situation. Firstly I was not aware that Firebird had any telepathic sense which made me suspicious of her initial reveal, containing as it did, a large element of uncertainty. Add to the fact that Firebird had already been on missions both day one and two - it seemed to me that her searching for the sense of unease would require a special action (unavailable to her due to her participation in missions), although clearly I could be, and probably am, wrong about that.

I certainly didn't expect Kurt to back the story up in this way. There remains the question of why he did not mention it before. I see no good reason why "waiting to figure it out" himself would provide any benefit for the greater good as, if we are to believe him, he risks being controlled against his will without informing us of his predicament. I am astonished that he would not mention this as not to do so could result in him attacking someone and then, in turn, being killed for his actions.

However a telepath is named so all my reasoning here can be portrayed as me trying to cover my tracks. I can't help that, my doubts about this remain.


I am not telepathic, but I do get visions and precognitive views from time to time, but i have to focus and meditate to get them.

[Firebird]

ooc I beleive that the Super Skrull was not on our side but wanted to kill Galactus as a win condition. In comics, big G destroyed the Skrull homewolrd and SS would want all kinds of revenge.

[Firebird]

The rule under Doom - meet the new boss, same as the old boss? Opinions differ amongst the subjects, as Doom and his new Prelates initiate a flurry of activity. However, as the day comes to a close, it is Nightcrawler who draws the most suspicion.

"Something is amiss with Nightcrawler" says Firebird, and the rout is on. Nearly half of the heroes decide that this is all the evidence they require to unearth a traitor. After a few protestations of innocence, Nightcrawler begins to teleport rapidly, avoiding attacks from Firebird, Quicksilver, and GhostRider. However, he is eventually felled by the punch from the rubbery Mr. Fantastic. He gasps, spits up blood, and utters his final words.

"Sorry ... (cough) ... (indecipherable) -king"

The other monumentous event is the eruption of the being now known as the SuperSkrull in front of Kang the Conqueror. The torrent of white-hot flame immediately melts through his defenses and leaves the future warlord howling in agony. Eventually the flames die down, leaving him very badly burned ... in a great deal of pain ... but still alive.

Scarlet Witch draws the ire of Doom, SilverSurfer, and Beast near the end of the day. Her hex defenses are enough to stave off Doom, but the Surfer and Beast lay into her and knock her unconscious. Mimic and Magneto intercede on her behalf, asking that she be spared to help save the world in the coming days. It is clear that she is not trusted, but she lives into the night.


My best guess is that he is referring to Shadow King, a character in Marvel comics.

[Firebird]

Sems I am not th eonly one to think so.


Is it possible he is referring to the Shadow King? It is from the age of apocalypse. The Shadow King telepathically probed peoples minds and was known to possess the minds of people. One thing about the Shadow King, he jumped from person to person.

In the storyline, Nightcrawler actually came up with the plan to stop the Shadow King.

[Punisher]

I wonder if a telepath couldn't change the perception of what really happened on these missions...essentially making it look like they did something to the others, when in reality they were just sabotaging the mission.

I believe we have to look at those on the Egypt mission. The rebellion clearly had reason to sabotage that mission. Aardwolf disobeyed Doom and went on that mission as well. We shouldn't just dwell on that, though. Doom may have placed the others in that group, but that could mean we were just unlucky in the selection of a rebel.

Personally, I'm concerned about Aardwolf, Quicksilver, and Mimic.

I get the sense from the rules and from my own mission, that if there is a traitor on the mission it's less likely that they take away from the mission, as that seems like it would be reported, and more likely that they would be contributing the minimum amount.

[Punisher]

'Twas the night before Day 5, when as near as I could tell

Not a Hero was stirring, not even a rebel;

The rebels were grinning, their plan almost done,

The Heroes were bummed and not having fun;

The Heroes were decimated when they laid Emma to rest,

It appeared none knew which plan may be the best;

One would say this, one would say that,

And none appeared to know a rebel to attack,

When across the street there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Into my window a rebel flew like a flash,

The knife in his chest left quite the gash.

That's when I heard it, the scream in fear,

"Run away fast! The Punisher is here!"

That's when I heard them, and more soon came,

Rapid shotgun blasts, The Punisher's fame.

They screamed and they shouted, but it mattered not,

The Punisher was punishing with each and every shot.

That's when he saw me and I began to freeze

That's when The Punisher began to tease;

"I have a message that needs to be sent;

Get out of here, kid, you are innocent,

Rebels are meant to be shot and killed!

It's really the only way I get a thrill."

That's when a bad guy came around the wall

One shotgun pass later he said, "I'll kill them all."

That's when the bullets began to fly,

And I began to wonder if I would soon die,

The rebels were shooting like a small brigade,

The Punisher answered with a fragment grenade.

When the screams had ended I could tell,

The rebels were finished, they had all fell.

That's when he turned and I knew he was done,

"I don't smile ever, but if I did, this would be one."

Very nice Punisher! You should write children's stories.

If there are players who are awaiting feedback on a proposed "Create-a-power", please drop a reminder PM to Tyrith and I so we make sure to take care of it this weekend.

If you haven't proposed a "create-a-power" yet this game, what are you waiting for?

[Punisher]

I'd like to create a power where I choke one of the rebels with my bare hands.

Right, PM. I'll get on that.

[Mr.Fantastic]

The weekend seems a bit light for conversations, so I figured I would try to start one up.

Doom, I think that I have a fairly good feel for what your goal is in the assignment of various tasks for your minions each day. I think it might be worthwhile for you to re-evaluate some of your goals of it however.

After a few days of this, it seems fairly convincing that there is a balance in the universe that prevents us from likely being able dominate all fassets of each day. Let us consider for now the three primary focuses of each day (Protection, rebel mission, Galactus mission). Obviously there are other various activities occuring behind the scenes, but these seem to be the three main focuses of your administration each day.

I believe that the universe seems to be one that we can't cover all three of those sufficiently well each day, and in attempting to do so we are losing in places that we really do not want to do so. I am wondering if we should evaluate one of these three goals that we should abandon for the most part for the time being while we make sure to take care of business elsewhere.

My first instinct would normally be to say here that perhaps we should back off of the Galactus campaign for now and focus on pushing back the rebellion and keeping your leadership safe. As long as we continued to ensure the lynch vote is met every day, Galactus would not advance fast enough for now to be a threat.

The news from Silversurfer regarding Galactus's injuries if it is the truth however makes me reconsider that though. If Galactus is indeed hurting and near death, I think it would not be an optimal time to withdraw and give him the opportunity to mend. I also do not think that it is a good idea to give the rebels any further advantage considering that we have been unable to make a great dent there as of yet.

What I am proposing is that we increase the manpower on both the rebel mission as well as the Galactus mission. The only place that additional manpower can come from realistically is the individuals that you have been dedicating to guard duty each day. I feel that you should still ensure that you are protected as I doubt you are replaceable, but your other prelates (including myself) can always be reappointed.

The risk here is that it might open the door for prelates to be attacked once again, however I feel that you will be able to call upon some resource to be able to appoint new prelates that are 100% loyal to you without doubt if they are indeed attacked. Also to mitigate any possible damage, I will have the portal opened this evening to the negative zone which could be used for either your protection or the protection of another if you would wish.

The final step that could be taken here is there might very well still be some heros available for guard duty that day once the missions are complete. If you assign practically almost everyone to mission duty and leave only one person to guard yourself I bet it will be very likely that there might end up being individuals that did not listen to your will that day who we can then order to guard anyways once the missions are completed.

I just think that we need to apply even more focus than before on the missions right now. I don't want to openly speak of the reasons why I don't feel the risk of you losing a prelate to be a horrible thing, as it is currently information shared only between you and me but i believe that you will understand where I am coming from.

[DrDoom]

You speak wisely, First Prelate. Indeed Doom is thinking that we must concentrate on one mission at a time. My studies of Galactus too suggest he is weakening, and while it would be ideal to finish him off, I fear the traitors grow too strong to give them that respite.

I will propose that we concentrate nearly exclusively on missions attacking the rebels for the time being. When we have dealt them a setback we may return to Galactus, and deal him a death blow with the device I am preparing.

Your words on guard duty are wise. As some of my loyal subjects do not join missions each day, those who "forget" will be used to guard my loyal subjects. Doom can be moved by words of wisdom.

What I truly wonder is who has been harming Galactus, for it would not have seemed to be us. Who fights him in private?

And I must agree with Jean Grey, I believe that rebel sabotage of a team would be apparent to us. Instead failures must come from lack of effort by the rebels, or special abiilties unknown to us. I would not be surprised if the rebels pool together to expend their own energy to counter us. We must drain them dry.

[IronFist]

I get the sense from the rules and from my own mission, that if there is a traitor on the mission it's less likely that they take away from the mission, as that seems like it would be reported, and more likely that they would be contributing the minimum amount.

I guess they have a special action to use on the mission. You don't get to do anything for free in this game. So if they do end up taking points away or impacting the mission in a negative way, it likely costs energy.

[Punisher]

Rebels countering our energy, that's more in the realm of what I'm talking about.

I'm all for these mindless heroes that haven't helped at all for cannon fodder. Might as well put them to use.

[Mr.Fantastic]

I guess they have a special action to use on the mission. You don't get to do anything for free in this game. So if they do end up taking points away or impacting the mission in a negative way, it likely costs energy.

Someone should really make a study of who hasn't had accounted for energy each day of this game. Perhaps I will considering very little is going on right now anyways. Maybe I'll work on that when I get done in my lab (ooc: working out) in a little while.

[IronFist]

How can you pin down how much energy somebody uses? There does not seem to be a verification point as nothing shows you in game amounts used or how much a super hero has at any given time.

[Mr.Fantastic]

How can you pin down how much energy somebody uses? There does not seem to be a verification point as nothing shows you in game amounts used or how much a super hero has at any given time.


There isn't any specific way to track energy spent.. I think I was meaning tracking special actions and not energy and just mis-represented what I meant by using the wrong words in my above post. Tracking who didn't use their special actions each day is what I meant might be useful in seeing whom possibly had it to use against us in other ways to aid the rebellion. Specifically in the days when we lost the mission vs the rebels.

If we are interested in tracking energy spent however, we could probably loosely do it based on the amount of damage done in the daily attacks as well as mission performance giving a rough baseline, but you are right that would be much more spotty and in some player's cases virtually non-existant.

[Magneto]

How can you pin down how much energy somebody uses? There does not seem to be a verification point as nothing shows you in game amounts used or how much a super hero has at any given time.

A good question. Doom can insist that individuals claim what energy they have used in each step. Does this information have value to the rebels? Are heroes murdered by rebels in the night able to defend themselves using the energy they may have available?

[Punisher]

I'll be in and out, but I'm never further than 9 millimeters away.

[Magneto]

Polaris's day care is closed on Monday, so Magneto will be spending much time making the silverware dance amusingly for the tiny tot. Should she deign to nap for her father, I will catch up on things in the early afternoon.

I would not be surprised if the rebels pool together to expend their own energy to counter us. We must drain them dry.

I'm not sure that is the wisest idea Lord Doom. Perhaps I'm biased here because of how I affected Galactus last time, but he seems to be the weaker of the two factions opposing us right now, especially I think after we lost the critical mission against the rebels last turn. And I've yet to see personally at least how the rebels winning these missions are affecting us. In fact I haven't see how winning the one mission helped us either. On the other hand we know what will happen if Galactus is allowed to regain his strength. I think we should press our apparent advantage over Galactus while we still have a large number of us around.

I realize this argument may make me sound like I'm a rebel, but I'm not. This just appears to be the better strategy to me at the moment is all. As always I bow to Lord Doom's wisdom in these matters.

[ ooc :lol: ]

[Vision]

I have been wondering, what would happen if a traitor were ordered to guard a prelate? Let us supposed that the rebels must designate a murderer each night, and the chosen slayer is guarding someone, would it follow that the prelate would be treated as unguarded, and, thus, vulnerable?

I don't at the moment have any use for these musings, but for some reason it has been nagging at me for the past couple of days.

I don't think this logic follows.

[GhostRider]

Glad to see your sense of humor Vision

[DrDoom]

Doom has indeed worried about this, Vision. We have yet to see a night kill stopped, so it seems likely that they are able to perform it whether they have been active during the day or not. Therefore, I don't think guarding at night prevents them from doing a night kill, but does prevent them from using their special actions.

It would also seem that a traitor on guard duty cannot sabotage their duty, or else I would think we would have seen more prelate deaths. I believe the only way to get through the guards at night are to "forget" to assign a guard to someone, to kill the guard before night, to bluff a guard order or perhaps through some special power.

[DrDoom]

We have not yet caught a single traitor. Nor have we prevented them from killing on a single night. While finishing off Galactus would be rewarding, Doom fears we do not have the time to do so. The rebels profit from killing Galactus also, and so we can perhaps hope whoever strives against him in secret continues.

Doom also has a plan to finish off Galactus, which I can enact on the day after next. Thus Day 5 we will focus on defeating the rebels, as we did Day 2 to much success. The next day we will see where Galactus stands, and how well he can face the might of Doom.

[Mimic]

Checking in over the weekend. Just to throw this out there: do you think that maybe there are far fewer traitors than we think? I mean, there's the Herald and SuperSkrull in the game...maybe there are others with win conditions.

Anyhow, there's also the possibility that the traitors are more loquacious and are pulling the strings right now as well. Spidey, Iron Fist, Quicksilver (just the ones that are pretty silent that I can remember off the top of my head) might all be villagers and we're playing into the rebels' hands.

Some football is starting so Mimic is going to kick back and relax.

And this is why I didn't quite get the whole, let's off Spidey argument. His numbers might be very important to us as we go, despite the fact that he doesn't act much. At least he's done his missions (I think).

[DrDoom]

Mr. Fantastic, I have indeed examined those who have skipped mission duties. It has not taught Doom anything clearly. Biggest suspects of that were Professor X (who was proven clear), and Iron Fist (who seems to have just been busy at mission time). I think your first analysis was correct, that we are simply assigning ourselves to the missions wrong. We must counter the rebels' energy more powerfully.

I know of no way to determine how much energy my subjects are spending on missions, that would seemingly tell us who to target.

[JeanGrey]

Checking in over the weekend. Just to throw this out there: do you think that maybe there are far fewer traitors than we think? I mean, there's the Herald and SuperSkrull in the game...maybe there are others with win conditions.

I think that in a game this large there are going to be several traitors in addition to the third parties. I don't recall any discussion about the possible number of traitors.

Anyhow, there's also the possibility that the traitors are more loquacious and are pulling the strings right now as well. Spidey, Iron Fist, Quicksilver (just the ones that are pretty silent that I can remember off the top of my head) might all be villagers and we're playing into the rebels' hands.


Let's hope that the rebels have been talkative. It means we have a shot of finding them through analysis.

[DrDoom]

I will give advance warning to my subjects. I expect all to be available for missions tomorrow, after their long, long rest.

[Punisher]

As long as I can give out some punishment, fine by me.

[GhostRider]

I will give advance warning to my subjects. I expect all to be available for missions tomorrow, after their long, long rest.

Allow me to give some advance warning as well. Ghost Rider will be out looking to purchase a new means of conveyance in the morning, possibly one of these four-wheeled, four-doored beasts as opposed to the lean, mean, two-wheeled maching that he currently cruises around on. It should be quite the exploration (as Ghost Rider is considering an Explorer).

[Firebird]

No worries here, you will find me involved and valuable.

[SilverSamurai]

I will likely be unable to respond to anything tomorrow day, as things will be busy for me IRL. So I will get my posts in now.

To DrDoom: please consider me for any mission you like.

I have submitted 3 EP to the mission.

Also, I believe Spiderman should go. I'm not quite buying he is someone we need to keep around.

STANDARD ATTACK SPIDERMAN

[Punisher]

I'm about to head off to another funeral for a mob member, I find that to be an easy killing field. However, I need to share some information:

I interrogated Mimic last night, over the weekend, however you want to put it. That's why I said I was "low" on energy the other day without saying just how much I had. Truthfully, I had enough to perform a one time action...which was my 'create a power'.

When interrogating, I couldn't ask, "Are you a rebel? Are you loyal to Doom?" or anything like that. I had to ask a question about a statement made in the game.

I felt it might be easiest to ping on anyone that said, "I used X energy in X mission". I thought Mimic's response of using 15 EP on a mission was pretty insane given that it failed.

Mimic was telling the truth. Sorry about the waterboarding, Mimic.

Based on that, I can trust Mimic is on our side and loyal to Doom. I've also got enough energy to contribute to a mission as well.

[Vision]

I don't think this logic follows.

Allow an example to illustrate:

Ultron is ordered to GUARD IRON MAN.
Ultron, in effect, stands guard at Iron Man's quarters, and it is assumed that noone will be able to intruse with ill intent save they destroy Ultron in the process.
Ultron, though, is an evil traitor, and when the camp lights go down, and Iron Man slumbers, Ultron sneaks into the room and kills him.
Next morning, we find Iron Man's charred remains, and Ultron's defense is "Special Powers were in play, I don't know how they got past me!!!"

[Vision]

The Vision will be away on matters of importance in a parallel dimension much of the day, therefore must he make known his plans now.

Return before the mission deadline is possible, but unlikely.

COMMIT TO MISSION AGAINST REBELS

[hoopsguy]

All night PMs have been sent. Health/energy PMs to follow.

[hoopsguy]

The last week has not been a pleasant one for the once proud army of Apocalypse. The former leader has been slain and supplanted (All hail Doom!) and a number of your foes have been decimated in a futile search for the rebels. The only consolation seems to be recent reports that Galactus is in a weakened state. Still, it seems a cold comfort to potentially drive off the World-Eater and hand over control of your empire to a band of rebels following a two-bit deity.

Morning arrives and there is one missing. Well, you have the same number of bodies but it appears that JeanGrey has taken on a new, somewhat fiery, form ...

[hoopsguy]

Note - there will not be a Mission today. I've got significant scheduling challenges this afternoon between work and family in town, and would not be able to run the Mission without having it processed either very early or very late. After reflecting on this, I don't think early gives time for all players to contribute and late minimizes the ability of people to have any discussion around the results prior to the deadline. Expect Missions to resume tomorrow.

Ditto Galactus - although he will also not "advance" closer to destroying the planet as a result of a scheduling issue.

Must you bring up the name of my greatest success...and greatest failure Vision? I'm surprised we haven't seen him in the game yet given everything else that's happened. No Mods that was not a suggestion.

What exactly does this mean? Jean's status on the front page remains unchanged.

What mission did he commit 15 ep on? As indicated, that is a lot of ep to end up in failure. Might be a likely mission that someone sabotaged.

No Mission, no Galactus today. We'll continue regular scheduling of those events again tomorrow.

Jean's status - I'll update it now.

He put in on the last rebel mission, the one that was really important that we won...and we didn't.
