Gambit checking in.

It seems many have already chosen their teams. I am not sure this isn't for the best for me, since I am a loner by nature.

For the record, I am not a Horseman, despite my actual history in the comic book world. I am just a handsome devil of a Cajun heritage with an affinity to, umm, making normal things powerful.

I will consider joining a team, but I'm perfectly happy being without one--because I am certain the Horsemen are among your teams.

I had picked out three members that I almost certainly would have chosen:

Blade
Alan T or Schmidty (but only one)
Gramm

The last pick would have been an UTR type like CR, EF, Talgian, JE or gi (sorry if some of these guys are no longer URT, as I have not played for awhile). Probably would have chosen, at random, from one of those guys.
Thanks again for the nod :)

Talgian
01-17-2007, 11:22 PM
Seeing that I play rarely, I probably would have based my horsemen off the limited knowledge I have of players, but also their character choices.

Path12 (Silver Surfer)
DaddyTorgo (Professor X)
Bonegavel (Wolverine)
AlanT (Warpath)

I think I'd have chosen a grizzled vet who isn't one of the big names: path, swaggs, anxiety

I think I'd have chosen one or two of the players who haven't played in a while/new players: Talgian, Sack, gi, Thomkal

And the rest would have been based on what I perceived to be complementary powers.

However, that assumes a good working WW knowledge. If someone who is more comic book oriented got it the composition of team A would look very different.

01-17-2007, 11:23 PM
Gambit you'd be welcome with us I think. You seem to have a good fit to our other abilities. And Add Chief Rum to the grizzled vet who isn't a big name list.

Is it just me, or is this game going to be incredibly hard?

Definitely hard. I haven't played in many of the real complicated games, so this one has me quite lost.

One of the toughest things, for me, is trying to get an idea of how powerful/useful my "powers" are. They seem pretty impressive in the normal WW-game context, but my thinking is that they are probably pretty average in this game.

In some cases its more info than I wanted to know!

HA HA. I qwik post Alan again!

Talgian
01-17-2007, 11:28 PM
Talgian could you put your summaries in one post? That way there's an easy reference.
Hulk- Wimpy but super smart scientist Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk under stressful situations. The Hulk is incredibly strong, and incredibly hard to hurt, but isn't very smart (HULK SMASH). Typically hits very hard and is very hard to hurt with physical attacks.

Silver Surfer- Assistant to Galactus, Destroyer of Worlds, but he only took that job to save his homeworld. He's relatively omnipotent. Super fast, almost indestructible (as is his board, although it has been destroyed very rarely, he can just regenerate it), and strong. I'd expect him to have strong attacks, some sort of mobility (time, space, dimension) based power, and maybe minor healing.

Magneto- Holocaust survivor who is one of the strongest mutants alive. He can manipulate metal with his mind, and most things are made out of metal. He is the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants, which believes that mutants are the next step in evolution, and therefore should rule over lesser beings (i.e. everyone else). Also had a big fallout with Prof. X Helmet makes him immune to telepathic attacks, expect abilities based off of his control of metal.

Moon Knight- Don't know much about him, but he's more or less a glorified vigilante/super-spy. At night he gets enhanced physical abilities. He's well trained in most combat arts. Expect strong attacks, both melee and ranged based, don't use psionic stuff on him.

Prof. X- Founder of the X-Men, believes mutants should live in harmony with humans. Incredibly strong telepath, he can manipulate objects with his mind, go into your mind, pretty much anything you can imagine a telepath doing, he can. He also has a machine to find mutants anywhere, anytime. Expect very strong mental abilities.

Warpath- No clue.

Storm- X-Man who can manipulate the weather. This allows her to fly via wind currents, control lightning, make earthquakes, adjust moisture, things like that. I'd expect a relatively diverse portfolio of attacks and abilities based off of such broad abilities.

Hawkeye- Don't know much about him except he's an expert archer.

Gambit- X-Man who can charge things with kinetic energy. I don't remember his backstory, except he's Cajun. The iconic Gambit attack involves charging cards from a deck and throwing them at his enemies, but he can charge anything (that's not living) with his deadly energy. Extremely agile, he also is immune to telepathic abilities. Expect strong attacks involving his kinetic energy, as well as some ability based off his exceptional charm.

Daredevil- Matt Murdock was blinded in a terrible accident, but his other senses have evolved, and he also has a radar sense. Basically, his senses except sight are the best they can be (he can hear a heartbeat from like 20' away, analyze speech patterns, etc). Imagine what super sense could do, then combine that with superb martial arts and acrobatics.
Cannonball- No clue.

Dr. Doom- Dr. Doom is the dictator of the "enforced monarchy" in Latveria. Incredibly arrogant, but also incredibly smart, he has suffered many hardships in life. As a result of an accident and then putting a burning hot iron mask on his face, he is horribly disfigured, which does not gel with his vanity. Nonetheless, he is very powerful, thanks to his scientific genius and other abilities. I'd expect powers relating to his control over powerful Doombots, mystical abilities like attacks and body switching, as well as other abilities generated from a nuclear-powered super suit, and his genius.

Mystique- Often aligned with Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants, Mystique is not too nice. I don't know much else of her background, but Mystique is a shapeshifter. She can change make virtually any aspect of her appearance-including clothes, fingerprints, retinas, etc. She also heals really well and is a trained combatant.

Captain Marvel- Again, somewhat fuzzy here. I'm not sure which incarnation of Cap. Marvel we're talking about here, but it's generally the same story, and powers are pretty much identical. Marvel is an alien who has helped earthlings many times. He has an interesting array of powers, including limited precognition, strength, energy blasts. However, he needs to convert solar energy for these, so without starlight he's significantly weakened, although he still has many high-tech weapons and tools. Powers would probably include strong energy attacks, something tied to his ability to see the future and determine enemies' weaknesses, and his tactical brilliance.

Wolverine- Logan was experimented on by the Weapon X program way back when (his age is in the triple digits). Very gruff, likes cigars. He is an X-Man, and his powers are quite formidable. He regenerates, is very fast, has super strength, and an extremely acute sense of smell. Oh, and these three claws on each hand, part of his adamantine skeleton. I expect his powers in-game to fall along those lines.

Spider-Man- Again, someone you probably know. Peter Parker was bitten by a spider, great power, great responsibility, yadda yadda yadda. Powers include super strength, speed, agility. He can shoot spiderwebs to move fast, tie up enemies, or for any variety of purposes. He's also a brilliant scientist. I'm going to go ahead and guess you all know Spidey well enough to stop there.

Captain Britain- Don't know the backstory too well, but he's very similar in power to Captain America. Britain has the same super speed, strength, and agility as Cap, but he can also fly. He generally has a more mystical feel, I seem to recall something about a wizard or somesuch. He also has some immunity to psychic abilities. Oh, and he's a combat whiz.

Deadpool- A cheap knockoff of DC's Slade, Deadpool is an evil mercenary and combatant. He's also incredibly stupid. Despite that set back, few can match his combat prowess. A premier assassin, Deadpool has a very nifty tricks besides a vast knowledge of unarmed and martial combat. He's got regenerative healing, super reflexes, strength, etc. Powers would likely include lots of ways to kill you, mostly through physical means. He does have lots of criminal contacts, and also a device that allows for minor teleportation.

Mandarin- No clue.

Mathemanic- Uhhh, doesn't need a calculator?

Captain America- Steve Rogers was injected with the Super Soldier Serum, Cap has been the symbol of America and Patriotism ever since. He's got all the super strength, reflexes, and agility you could want, as well as this nifty, indestructable shield. Basically, he's the best possible at physical activities a human could be. Expect powers based on his leadership, unequaled tactical genius, shield throwing/bashing, and good ol' fist-pounding.

Juggernaut- Someone else who I don't know the backstory too, but still wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. Jugs is usually aligned with evil and the Brotherhood of Mutants. His big thing (aside from his large physical size) is inertia. Once he gets going, nothing, I mean nothing can stand in his way. He also has super strength and resistance to most physical attacks. Like Magneto (and most other people), he is quite vulnerable to telepathic assault, so he wears a helmet that makes him relatively immune, like Magneto. Powers will most likely be based on his inertia, ability to crush you, and various resistances/immunities.
Venom- Not sure which person you were originally, but Venom is the result of an alien symbiote. The symbiote finds a host (Eddie Brock is the iconic one, IMO), and the host gains many new abilities. Frankly, the abilities are remarkably similar to Spider-Man's powers. Wall-crawling, some sort of alien substance that looks and acts like webbing (slinging, sticking, just like Spider-Man's webbing), super strength, speed, danger sense, etc. As a nice bonus, he's pretty much immune to bullets and can blend in to the background. Expect powers to be based around those.

Iron Man- Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is one of the world's richest men. He's been through many different phases, including as an alcoholic and Secretary of Defense. A highly-educated business man, he created the Iron Man suit, and has been performing superheroics ever since. His powers will be based around the suit: Super speed, strength, flight, regeneration, control over electronics, armor, and weapons. I'd expect his powers to be drawn from those, as well as his intellect and business.

Mr. Sinister- Nathaniel Essex was obsessed with his so-called Essex Factors regarding human mutation, but despite his brilliant research he was mocked. However, he gained powers of his own and has continued performing research and experiments on mutants to this day. NOTE: I am going to write this next part as what I expected his powers to be, just like I've written all the other entries. Interpret that how you will. Through his experiments and other sources, Mr. Sinister has gained many abilities. Notably, he super strength, damage resistance, and can shape shift. He also employs strong telepathic abilities. I'd expect his powers to be drawn from that, as well as his scientific background.

Hope these helped the less comic-oriented.

hello gambit my old friend

Bonjour, Professor.

I hope you of all people will know my skirting with those on the wrong side is no more an indication I am evil than Wolverine, who also has been tested. I have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, but you know where my true allegiances lie.

I would certainly consider an allegiance with the Professor and Wolverine.

Eric...it isn't about preserving mutant-kind this time. It's about preserving Earth and ALL her children against Apocalypse. The sooner you realize this my old friend, the greater chance we all have. Do not let your hatred blind you Eric. We must set aside petty divisions...you must work with Sinister, even though he was there at Auschwitz and collaborated with the Nazis against your people.

This is bigger than any one of us, and our past histories.

01-17-2007, 11:35 PM
(ooc) The Wikipedia page on Mathemanic appears to be a concise description of the character, including his usual allies (as I've previously observed, none in the game). (/ooc)

Regarding our team composition, I think the most important thing for obtaining maximum effectiveness of our attacks is having multiple modes of attack. The only weakness I perceive in lacking one mode is that a target might be particularly ineffective against it. It seems unlikely to me that we'll find anybody who is invulnerable to all but one mode of attack, but then, stranger things have happened.

I think there's something to be said for some informal cooperation with another group, as long as their interests continue to align with ours.

Mathemanic Powers:
Psionically attacks by projecting abstract mathematical information into his victim's brain overwhelming his victim with the information. Also has the ability to realize mathematical concepts giving him power over the fundamental forces of the universe. He has used these for a variety of effects including increasing the gravity around a target, and manipulating time to age a target or slow down the movements of a target

Eric, do not presume to turn my own against me. This is not about you and I. I refer to them as my children because many of them WERE literally children when they came to me, those that were not PHYSICALLY often were in terms of control of and knowledge of their powers.

Those who truly know me know that I hold them in the utmost regard. Gambit and Wolverine, despite our differences, know that I have only the greatest love for and respect for them. They are grown now, and capable of making their own decisions, but even they will acknowledge the fatherly role I have played in their lives when needed.

Here is who iwould have chosen as Apocalypse..
Eaglesfan - Iron Man Mandarin is Iron man's arch nemesis. I could hide behind my hatred of that evil Iron man.

LSG- Captain Marvel a very powerful character

Chief Rum-- Gambit Using his past as a horseman to hide him in the open. Apocalypse cant possibly take HIM attitude.

Later this morning I'll look to publish the list of teams, as I show them - remember that team membership must be mutually offered:

To start a team, bi-directional offers are extended between two players. A team name should be included (and must be included by the end of the day for it to be effective).

To add a new member to the team, bi-directional offers are extended between one member of the team and the new member.

Posts should be in bold.


Also, at some point during Day 1 actions should transition towards votes/attacks in order to begin the process of flushing out Apocalypse and the Horsemen. No rush ...

Fellow Mutants First members, we need to decide on who we want to attack. To get full use of our team bonus I hope we can agree on who we want to attack.

I still would like to find one more member to join us today, but the one nice thing I can say about having a team of like minded personal is that I am far less worried about Apocolypse infiltrating our ranks than some of these larger teams that have accepted just any old person. I think it would be wise to see what type of agression some of the other teams start with and see who is willing to flex their muscle before launching the first strike ourselves.

Without any clear target, I might as well be flapping in the wind right now.

Barkeep49
01-18-2007, 09:00 AM
I agree spleen. I think it's likely that Apocolypse chose a newer player so I would list gi, Talgian, and Bonegavel as possible targets for us today.

Barkeep49
01-18-2007, 09:02 AM
One other point: While we only have 3 people, if two of us act together and one goes a slightly different route we're not missing any bonuses we could get.

Alan T
01-18-2007, 09:11 AM
On the topic of who would Apocolypse have chosen, and many different people have tossed out their ideas. One thing I have tried to do in my mind is group up the players in this game into the groups that I see them belonging in as far as playstyle:

High-profile player (tends to be in middle of action, gets scanned early in games often)
3. Barkeep49 (Magneto)
4. Blade6119 (Moon Knight)
6. AlanT (Warpath)

Crafty under the radar vet (Often as good of a player or in many cases better players than the high-profile players, but does it in a different style that allows them to slide by for many days unnoticed before they strike)
1. Schmidty (Hulk)
2. Path12 (Silver Surfer)
7. Swaggs (Storm)
8. Anxiety (Hawkeye)
10. Ardent Enthusiast (Daredevil)
16. Jonathan Ezarik (Spiderman)
18. Raiders Army (Deadpool)
20. Mr Wednesday (Mathemanic)
21. SackAttack (Captain America)
24. Eaglesfan27 (Iron Man)

Solid Veteran (Tends to not necessarily be under the radar, but does not draw a ton of suspicion on them early either. All around decent contributer)
5. DaddyTorgo (Professor X)
9. Chief Rum (Gambit)
11. Thomkal (Cannonball)
12. WVUFAN (Dr. Doom)
13. Spleen1015 (Mystique)
14. LoneStarGirl (Captain Marvel)
19. ntndeadcon (Mandarin)
22. GoldenEagle (Juggernaut)
23. Grammaticus (Venom)

Newer Players (Not seen them play much before, so tough to get a great feel for their normal playing style from the few or no games I've been in with them before)
15. Bonegavel (Wolverine)
17. gi (Captain Britain)
25. Talgian (Mr. Sinister)


This is based on my own experiences, and others might have had more experience playing with someone than I so wouldn't have an unknown in the unknown group or might feel someone has a different playing style than I would view them as having.

Like I said before, the majority (if not all) of my picks if I had been Apocolypse would have been in the second group of players, as a proven track record of managing to slide by late into the games without being noticed or drawing alot of attention is important to a bad team.

spleen1015
01-18-2007, 09:19 AM
I agree spleen. I think it's likely that Apocolypse chose a newer player so I would list gi, Talgian, and Bonegavel as possible targets for us today.

gi - Captain Britain
Talgian - Mr. Sinister
Bonegavel - Wolverine

I would think the Wolverine would have some sort of regeneration ability. He probably heals more damage than most with each day. He can probably take more damage than the average player in teh game as well. We might want to leave him alone today.

Mr. Sinister could have some very valuable skills to the bad side.

I don't even know what Captain Britain was capable of, so I can't comment on him. at this point.

Barkeep49
01-18-2007, 09:40 AM
An important point, which I don't think I've been as out front about as perhaps I could have been, is that there are the experienced and the not experienced. I think you're looking at a very different grouping of players if a newer person (which I include LSG in, for instance, since she hasn't played with some people like Sack and Eaglesfan) than if you have someone who's been around the block a few times. So while Alan I think your list looks excellent, I think it looks considerably less excellent if you're not Apocalypse.

Barkeep49
01-18-2007, 09:45 AM

Okay all caught up now. Sorry for my lack of presence in the game so far, I should be able to contribute more now. How about we all start our posts with our character names in parenthesis so we can identify each other easier and roleplay better?

Saw Taigan did not have info on Cannonball with his excellent summaries. Here's a summary you can use for him.

Cannonball-Sam Guthrie is the eldest child of a large family from rural Kentucky. He and several of his siblings have developed mutant abilities. He possesses the ability to bodily generate thermo-chemical energy and release it from his skin. This energy is used as thrust to cause his body to be propelled through the air at great heights with considerable speed and manueverability. This energy also manifests itself as an inpenetrable and virually indestructable "blast field". He can use this field as a personal shield, absorb outside kinetic energy into his own energy supply, then use it add to the bludgeoning power of his blows.

Sam is a founder of the New Mutants group, and has been a member of many other mutant groups including the X-Men and X-Force. Due to his upbringing, he is a "salt of the earth" kind of man, honest, well-mannered, and responsible.

"Ah think we want to keep the teams as small as possible to make it easier to find the bad guys if you want my opinion. I'd be honored to join a team with mutants or you other heroes on it, whereever you think I fit best. And Ah know we've been reluctant to talk about it, but we're going to have choose who to beat up on first right?"

I think Apocalypse either went for all out veterans who tend to dominate the talking, all out newbies/quiet people, or a mix based on who he/she has worked well with before or someone who tends to be a good read of Apocalypse's player in other games. How's that for indecisive? :)

So how do we decide who to attack today? Do we gang up on one or two players who are likely to have high defenses/health while we have so many heroes who can attack them? Go after someone who hasn't joined a group yet, or one of the organizers of the group? Or just roll some dice and pick one at random? :)

I know that it was decided to have only four members in our illustrious group, but I would like to formally invite Wolverine to join us in our crusade. I propose that we limit ourselves to five members, with the good Captain casting the deciding vote for our attack if the vote is split. I think that this way, we have a better chance of smoking out a Horseman if one of those vile creatures has dared to infiltrate us. Plus, we can really use Wolverine's attacking capabilities.

I have varying thoughts on who the Apocalypse would pick. I kind of agree with everyone else. One could make an argument that the Apocalypse would pick the best players because they could do more damage then harm in the early part of the game. They would also be able to cover up their tracks relatively easy and avoid making any critical mistakes. I do not think any "new" players were chosen for that reasoning.

I guess if we really want to figure out who the Apocalypse and the four-horsemen are, we have to get in their heads. I really do not know what direction this will go in, so it will be interesting to see.

If they add one of the remaining teamless heros to make an even 6 to have the advantage of numbers over everyone else.

In some ways, I am starting to feel like this game is blending Werewolf with Survivor on how teams will work together.

So while Alan I think your list looks excellent, I think it looks considerably less excellent if you're not Apocalypse.

This is a very good point. We can throw out who we think Apocalypse picked, but the truth of the matter is that until we find one of the Horsemen, we have absolutely nothing to go on. Is Apocalypse a vet or a newer player? Would he/she pick based on the players or the characters?

For the record, I was somewhat expecting to be chosen as a Horsemen. Not that I think I'm a great player or anything, but as others have mentioned, I do kind of keep in the middle range of play. I'm not overly vocal and I'm not UTR. I float in the middle and would be an ideal Horseman candidate (IMO). The fact that I wasn't selected doesn't tell me a whole lot, at least not until we do find one of the Horsemen and we start to see how Apocalypse thinks.

Normally on day 1 I don't have a problem throwing out a vote early on since you can just change it later. Since in this game once you do an attack, you've used your attack I want to be a bit more cautious is all. We can decide on some plan of action before you have to go, but I would like to look further into what things happen today before I am ready to make a move.

-Do you go after someone in a larger team and risk the retalliation of that team?
- Do you go after someone who isn't in a team or on a smaller team to be able to battle off any form of retalliation that may come?

We also had Silver Moon offer a loose alliance at least in the early going while we might have mutual goals to accomplish that we should consider.

-Do we team up with them and go after someone making it very tough for the other person to defend themselves?


Also in selecting a target, I guess everyone has different type of attacks and are vulnerable to certain types of things.

-Do we choose someone less likely to have some insane defense like Hulk or someone to make sure we get the most bang to our buck?

Mutants First, what do you guys think about attacking Hawkeye(Chief Rum) today?

I would rather avoid attacking anyone on Silver Moon at least day 1 as Moon (Blade) has shown himself interesting in working for a common goal early on.

My thoughts would be early on to either show Doom that he is all talk and look at someone on his team, or perhaps look at the small pairing of Capt. America and Iron Man as those both are players whom I would have chosen as Apocolypse.

Normally on day 1 I don't have a problem throwing out a vote early on since you can just change it later. Since in this game once you do an attack, you've used your attack I want to be a bit more cautious is all. We can decide on some plan of action before you have to go, but I would like to look further into what things happen today before I am ready to make a move.

-Do you go after someone in a larger team and risk the retalliation of that team?
- Do you go after someone who isn't in a team or on a smaller team to be able to battle off any form of retalliation that may come?

We also had Silver Moon offer a loose alliance at least in the early going while we might have mutual goals to accomplish that we should consider.

-Do we team up with them and go after someone making it very tough for the other person to defend themselves?


Also in selecting a target, I guess everyone has different type of attacks and are vulnerable to certain types of things.

-Do we choose someone less likely to have some insane defense like Hulk or someone to make sure we get the most bang to our buck?

Well, if we align ourselves with Silver Moon, the Hawkeye is out of the equation for today. I just mentioned him as a possiblity because he didn't want to join our team.

To the members of Silver Moon, are you guys interested in an alliance?

Alan T

Of course if Marvel chooses to take the path after me, I would feel the need to retaliate as I have already stated several times why I would have been a horrible pick for a horseman (the very likely reason why I was not chosen as one)

Apocolypse was chosen randomly per our moderator. I think a player who hasn't played in a while and who was invited would be a very bad choice as a horseman as some might view me as an early target. I'm not a horsemen.

I don't think either one is a good target for us. Alan adds too much to the game with his analysis and I'm sure he will be scanned tonight to find out if he's a Horseman. I don't know anything about gi, but I would like to watch him for a couple of days to see how he plays.

As for who I think we should target, I would like us to go after Venom, but for strictly personal reasons. :)

The fact that I'm a "big name" FOFCer is a very good reason why I wasn't chosen as a horsemen and again the mastermind was chosen randomly. I guarantee you that I'm good and an attack on me will be a win for evil.

Since I'm being discussed as a possible target, this holds a bit of appeal to me, however this will give us little information and it will give Apocolypse and his men an extra night kill if I understand all of the constraints properly.

I think in this game its even more important than normal games to ensure you have a lynch each day, including day 1. Sure the odds are always stacked against you on day 1, however we have a 20% chance of guessing correctly who a bad guy is. The odds aren't what drive us to making the lynch vote, but instead the voting history and the data we receive from the vote is.

Reasons why its even more important this game to proceed with a day 1 lynch:

- We all can benefit from seeing how the actual system works out with the multiple attacks.

- There is a built in ability to possibly detect a horseman who has infiltrated one of your teams if your attack total is for some reason reduced without any clear identifier.

- It creates accountability for the teams to put actions behind their words. Its easy enough to say you want to do something, but will you stick up to it when the time comes?

I wonder how much information any of our telepathic allies can handle. For example, your offer of a statement may be seen as having two components. They might only be able to handle one component of that statement. I do agree that there is at least one that has the ability to determine the veracity of the teller.

I am also in favor of lynching on day one. But I do disagree with something that was said. The built in ability you refer to, seems to have more unknowns than a clear identifier would indicate. passive powers for example Several of us probably have them. For example I assume that the Hulk has a greater resistance than say most people. Plus it may happen that the horsemen do not use their sabatoge ability. especially if one of the 12 are up for lynch.

Hoops, just trying to make sure I understand how this works. We all have energy totals, so this attack uses up one of my energy correct? So now my energy is (original energy minus one).

If I later choose to do a second attack today, its 1 more energy point or is it 2 additional energy points? (1 for the attack and 1 for being a second attack)?

An attack in the thread uses the amount of energy listed with it in the description you received. So if that energy is one, then you now have [Energy - 1].

If you wanted to do more than one point of damage, and had a power that included a variable amount of damage, then you would PM me to indicate the amount of energy to spend - I'll do the math from there to calculate the damage. You should not post in the thread that you are doing non-standard damage, unless you want to reveal that information publicly.

If you later choose to do another attack in this day cycle, there is a +1 energy cost to initiate that action on top of any other energy costs associated with the action.

You could continue to launch additional attacks beyond that, with each additional attack incurring an additional +1 energy cost on top of the previous one.

Let me know if there are further questions around this - hopefully I'm doing an adequate job of explaining the concept but I recognize this is different than previous games.

So there's no increasing cost to multiple attacks?

This is EXACTLY what Apocalypse wants you to do, just blindly follow. I am not convinced Iron Man is guilty, and will not follow blindly to eliminate someone who very well may be helpful later.

Doom will NOT follow.

You would be wise to follow Magneto. Fool.

Hawkeye, what are your initial plans for today? In an attempt to form a loose alliance with Mutants first, maybe we should consider Ironman

Ummm, im sorry...when you said mutant first, you must have meant Silver Moon...its ok, honest mistake :p

Yes there is. Your second attack cost = base cost + 1. Your third attack cost = base cost + 2.

I don't expect anyone to blindly follow. We have laid out our reasons. We have discussed and debated. I felt we had agreement and so I moved. Alan and spleen, and others, had already expressed agreement with the choice. So if Apocolypse wants us to blindly follow, then the attacks launched so far are clearly working against him. I would urge you to take the time and think about it, and perhaps not blindly follow, because I would not expect others to follow, but instead join in.

There is.
- An additional +1 energy is required to make a 2nd attack in addition to whatever energy is used with the attack
- An additional +2 energy is required to make a 3rd attack in addition to whatever energy is used with the attack
- etc, etc

So far I'm loving this game :)

I would advise not going after Iron Man today, if only for the fact to see if there is a Horseman in the Mutants First group. I think it's safe to say that out of the ten in our two teams, there's at least one Horseman. If we join with them in attacking it might be difficult in figuring out which team has the Horseman (or Horsemen).

Mutants First, what do you guys think about attacking Hawkeye(Chief Rum) today?

(Cannonball)

"Well he likely would not have much of a defense, if Mr. Barton will pardon me for saying so. But if we have some kind of agreement with his team, probably not a good idea. Ah think we should attack a villanous type, 'cause I'm thinking Apocalypse recruited at least one of them to be one of his Horsemen."

I think it would be very useful for Silvermoon and LaResistance! to join together. The 10 of us could choose to be VERY powerful.
I oppose a formal merger. Getting too large makes it too easy for the horsemen to bury themselves in our midst.

Following this logic means that there likely won't be a lynch today. We are going to have to have some cooperation amongst groups in order to get a lynch.

Captain Marvel, dear, you are on the wrong team.

You are a fool. There was not any sort of communication between all of us. You are blindly guessing and reacting without any logic at all. If you are wrong, and Iron Man is not a Horseman, then you will be next to fall, for you would have cost us as a whole dearly.

It is funny how the heroes are always the first to turn on one of their own.

Cooperation, yes...like ive said, alliances are what we want, not mergers. Keep the teams small and that way we can differentiate when the lynches comes back good or bad

(Mr. Sinister)

I see you are gracing us with your presence, Dr. Doom. What do you think of this Ironman development? I believe the Silver Surfer is a more likely candidate for Horsemanship, as he is both an experienced in these games, as well as extremely powerful. However, angering the Silver Moon team seems beyond foolish at this juncture, whereas Ironman does not sport such support. I still have not seen anyone that truly strikes me as evil, so I am quite uncertain as to my attack, for the time being.

Mr. Wednesday

With the variations in team size (and possibly variations in attack effectiveness), I don't think it's a given that different teams attacking different targets will mean no lynch.

Maybe. I assume that Iron Man will be tough to bring down, but if all you want is a lynch, why not go after someone weaker? Or get a bruiser like Hulk to help you out?

I do not care what you oppose! I did not ask for a formal merger! I want an alliance. If you think that you are not worthy to have an alliance with LARisistance then we will ally with the Nasty Mutants!

Normally on day 1 I don't have a problem throwing out a vote early on since you can just change it later. Since in this game once you do an attack, you've used your attack I want to be a bit more cautious is all. We can decide on some plan of action before you have to go, but I would like to look further into what things happen today before I am ready to make a move.

-Do you go after someone in a larger team and risk the retalliation of that team?
- Do you go after someone who isn't in a team or on a smaller team to be able to battle off any form of retalliation that may come?

We also had Silver Moon offer a loose alliance at least in the early going while we might have mutual goals to accomplish that we should consider.

-Do we team up with them and go after someone making it very tough for the other person to defend themselves?


Also in selecting a target, I guess everyone has different type of attacks and are vulnerable to certain types of things.

-Do we choose someone less likely to have some insane defense like Hulk or someone to make sure we get the most bang to our buck?

(Cannonball)

"Ah I think its probably best if we attack a smaller team or person not on a team. I mean it could get pretty bloody pretty quickly if two big groups went at it. But I'm thinking it'd be a pretty smart idea to take on someone at least moderately powerful on the power scale. That way if we get lucky and pick a Horsemen, we hopefully will have enough attacks to take 'em out. But I'm just the son of a coal miner, so I'm not as smart as the rest of you."

I think for the first day at least, we should probably not team up with Silver Moon or the other teams and see where things stand the next day.
