Werewolf XLI - Apocalypse Awakens - Game over!

[hoopsguy]

The battle began a day ago, when Mr. Sinister appeared at the X-Mansion to report that Apocalypse had resurfaced after a long slumber. Although many of the X-Men wonder why Sinister would warn them of this, the conversation was interrupted by reports of a massive space ship appearing over New York City.

http://123pichosting.com/thumbs/5772ship.jpg (http://123pichosting.com/viewer.php?id=5772ship.jpg)

The Avengers, and other local heroes, gathered to defend the city against a swarm of robotic insects unleashed from the hull of the ship. Many heroes fell against the initial surge of robots, as well as a cadre of Dark Riders.

In Latveria, Dr. Doom sensed the arrival of a great source of power. Color Doom intrigued ...

Each of the gathered had their own reasons to face down Apocalypse in this conflict. Whether it was a sense of self-preservation, heroism, or desire for power, twenty five heroes (?) were able to gain entry into the mammoth ship to face their would-be-master. A mammoth spectral image of Apocalypse greeted the intruders.

"So, it appears that the strong have indeed survived while the weak have perished attempting to gain entry. You remaining heroes will have the opportunity to prove your worth against me and my four horsemen - we live here amongst you, disguised by the Celestial technology that now surrounds you. Know that this will be my greatest triumph, as unharnessed power that is now separated will come together at the end of this conflict."

The greatest defenders of humanity are gathered together in this ship. If they fail, no one will be able to stop Apocalpyse from delivering his dark vision upon a terrified populace.

Moderator Source Note #1 - There have been a pair of superhero games on BoardGameGeek, one involving Thanos and another that was an X-Men based game, that got me looking at comics as source material.
The Werewolf Gauntlet: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/112679
X-Man: The Cure: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/117348/page/1

Moderator Source Note #2 - this game will be based very loosely upon the X-Men story "The Twelve". This was a story that was hinted at for a decade before a clumsy cross-over event was launched sometime in the mid-90's. For me, it was a case of expectations far exceeding the delivery. Hopefully this game does not parallel the comic in that respect ...

Here is a summary of the original story in the comics. Note that I will be quite liberal with my adaptation to werewolf and that events are likely to deviate substantially from the comic version.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse:_The_Twelve#The_Twelve

Background:
"The Twelve" were first mentioned by X-Men foe Master Mold and later referenced in the diaries of noted precognative Destiny. The names of the twelve are unknown, but they are closely tied to a future where Apocalypse rules the earth with an iron fist.
Each of the heroes finds themselves in the deserts of Egypt after an encounter with the minions of Apocalypse, the Dark Riders. You have battled your way into the inner sanctum of Apocalypse to face the world's oldest mutant once and for all.

Players: 25
Evil/Werewolves: Apocalypse and his four horsemen
Good/Villagers: Everyone else
During sign-ups, each player selects a Marvel comics hero or villain that they would like to play during this game. The moderator has the right to refuse a selection (Apocalypse can not be selected) but will try to accomodate any reasonable selection. Once twenty five players have signed up and selected their characters the moderator will assign roles/powers.

The game begins with randomly assigning the role of Apocalypse. The player who is assigned Apocalypse will retain the guise of his selected character, but will gain the extra abilities associated with this role. Apocalypse can then choose his four horsemen, with the knowledge of the players and their hero/villain, but not knowledge of their roles/powers. The game then proceeds with 20 good guys and 5 villains.

Win Conditions:
Evil: eliminate "The Twelve" from the game. Evil knows the identities of the Twelve (out of 20 heroes). When all of these characters are removed from the active roster Evil wins the game
Good: defeat Apocalypse and his four horsemen.

Characters:
Each character will be assigned a set of powers, as well as ratings for Health and Energy.
Health - how much damage a character can sustain before they are killed
Energy - the currency for taking actions. All powers cost at least one point of energy
Powers - these will differ from character to character. As you would expect with a comic book theme, some characters will be inherently more powerful than others

All characters recover 3 energy and 1 health per day unless otherwise noted. Health cannot exceed the starting value, but there is no cap on energy levels. If a character does not launch an attack during the Day cycle they will only recover 2 energy. This is in place to encourage participation and to remove any incentives to skipping an action during the day.

Day Cycle:
Each character declares their attack and their target in the thread - use caps and bold at the bottom of your post to declare this. A post in the thread assumes that one point of damage will be delivered. However, characters have the option of delivering additional damage. PM the moderator if you want to deliver extra damage. Once an attack is issued it cannot be revoked. Additional attacks may be initiated, assuming there is energy remaining to execute the attack. There is an
additional one point of energy required to launch a second attack, two points required to launch a third attack, etc. This is only applicable to a character's "standard attack" - special attacks are limited to one use per day. A special power can be used in conjunction with a standard attack with no additional penalty.

At the end of the Day cycle, the character who receives the most effective damage (some damage may be negated by use of active or inherent powers) is eligible for lynch. If the effective damage is greater than their remaining health, that character is removed from the game. Additionally, a second character who sustain a level of effective damage greater than or equal to twice their health rating (ex: Health of 6, if reduced to -6 or less they would fall under this rule) will suffer the same fate. So it is possible for there to be no "lynch" or for their to be two "lynches" in a
given day. The tie-breaker for 2nd kill, if it comes to that, is 1.) furthest value from zero 2.) most damage sustained in current day.

In the event that there is not a day kill (excluding Day 1) the forces of Apocalypse will have the option to execute an additional night kill. Since the amount of total damage sustained is not published, the order of attacks and the player executing the "kill shot" will be noted in the end of day summary. The characters faction will be revealed upon death, and it will be revealed if the character was a member of the "Twelve".

Night Cycle:
Many characters will have powers that can be used during the Night Cycle. Additionally, the forces of Apocalypse will be able to initiate a night kill that is not related to expending health/energy. Heroes may be able to impact the night kill through use of powers. Below is the order for night actions. In cases where multiple actions fall in the same sub-category and order does matter (two attacks on same target, for example) a random number generator will be used to process the order.

Order of Night Actions:
1. Defense actions
2. Research actions
3. Attack actions - heroes first, then villains
4. Energy/health regeneration

Powers:
There are four classes of damage: physical, energy, psionic, and magical. Characters may have resistances to some or all of these damage types.
Characters may have active or passive powers. Active powers must be declared - in the thread or via PM, as specified by the character description. Passive powers are always active.
Example:
Active Power:
Laser Beam (1) - does one point of damage for each point of energy used
Passive Power:
Tough Skin (0) - subtract one point of damage from all physical attacks against the character

Expect that there will be some duplicate powers, depending on character selection (Iron Man and Doctor Doom, for example) but a ton of unique powers as well. Powers should be a reflection of the comic book character, but likely will not be an exact representation. In rare cases different powers have been assigned. This is done for both game balance and to introduce some elements of unpredictability in the game.

Teams:
Heroes may form "teams" by mutual declaration. When a team is formed, they have the opportunity to deliver additional damage by acting in unison (+0.5 additional damage for every member of the team, rounding down) . However, if there is a villain participating in the team they have the opportunity to sabotage the effectiveness of a team's actions (-2 cumulative damage). Teams can be formed and broken up at any time. The declaration of a team must be agreed upon in the
thread. The team should be announced in bold, with the name of the team and all member of the team. Additional benefits may become available for teams who remain together for a sustained period of time.

Additional Notes:
1. If you try to use a power and do not have enough power to use it the power will not activate
2. If you try to use a power and use more energy than you currently have, the moderator will assign all remaining energy to the power
3. No editing posts
4. Actions are processed in the order posted. So if someone issues an order such as "protect Solecismic with a Force Field" that will impact future attacks but have no bearing on attacks already launched
5. Character powers will take precedence over any rules posted in this thread. The rules here are meant to apply to the majority, but in some cases may not apply to a small minority
6. This is a comic book setting. Expect some new mechanics for this game that pay homage to a comic book universe.
7. Playing in character is highly encouraged. The moderator reserves the right to reward players for especially good role play, either publicly or privately.
8. If a character is driven below 25% of their health, but still lives into the next day, they will be listed at 25% of their health (rounding up) heading into the night cycle. Regular healing will take place at that time.

PMs will begin going out shortly.

[Alan T]

Checking in, got my role pm. Heading to workout at the office gym then coming back to see who else has shown up.

[Barkeep49]

Having permission to start talking I think it would be helpful if our more comic book aware friends were to perhaps group the players by powers. Those of us with superior powers, mutants that is, and those with other powers, despite their failing to be a mutant.

Also, I think the last small game showed that players can be evil and slip through the cracks by going UTR. I refer to Ollie girl who I thought it would have been hard to discover if she hadn't been found in a stroke of good fortune. So I will be even more inclined than normal to attack those, literally in this case, who are not around.

Finally, I think it's very much to our advantage to start groups. I think groups can even be used as a passive seer if we suspect that a group's attack has been sabotaged by Apocalypse or his minions. I would therefore encourage all mutants to join me for the betterment of all, and join soon so that we may get the bonuses alluded to in the rules.

[spleen1015]

PM received.

I am disappointed to have to work with the X-Men again. Where are Nightcrawler and Rogue? Surely they would be valuable in this fight.

Good guy checking in.

[spleen1015]

Last night, I was thinking about who I would pick if I were Apocalypse. The first idea that I had would be to get the good players because they would be better suited to help me win. I think this might be a good starting point for looking at who we need to go after.

Sounds good to me, I'll join up in a group with you if you would like. I think the groups should stay somewhat smallish though to make it easier to track down where the sabotage came from if you feel your group was sabotaged.

Last night, I was thinking about who I would pick if I were Apocalypse. The first idea that I had would be to get the good players because they would be better suited to help me win. I think this might be a good starting point for looking at who we need to go after.

I thought alot about this during the week. I think I have found some players who are excellent players tend to get alot of attention from seers/others and likely would avoid those. I also think I probably would avoid people who are newer to WW games as they tend to be more unpredictable (both for the good and bad).

I think if I had been picked to be Apocalypse, I would have chosen players who were very underrated players in my mind, I would have tried to get an assortment of type of characters as well. (not all physical or mental types).

[Schmidty]

CHECKING IN BEFORE LUNCH!!!!!!!!!!

[Barkeep49]

I agree that if I were apocolypse I would not choose a big name, or only do so reluctantly. I would guess that only one, if any, of the "big" name powers would be chosen.

However if Apocolypse is someone who is new to the game I think it's more likely that he would go off of comic book strength. In which case I would have been chosen. Therefore, I dismiss that possibility.

Warpath you would certainly be a welcome addition to my group. A most welcome addition indeed. As would Mystique. Why feel the need to work with X-Men when you can work with some real mutants?

[hoopsguy]

All roles have now been sent.

As a reminder, all PMs should be addressed to both moderators. This is to avoid any kind of confusion. I'm not quite as worried about early questions, but this is critical for any kind of attack/defense actions as we will be cross-checking results with each other.

[path12]

I was thinking the exact same thing. I think the higher profile players need to be looked at very carefully.

But now I need to make sure I understand the rules. Silver Surfer checking in.

[path12]

Having permission to start talking I think it would be helpful if our more comic book aware friends were to perhaps group the players by powers. Those of us with superior powers, mutants that is, and those with other powers, despite their failing to be a mutant.

This would be very helpful. I know very little about the Marvel world and it's inhabitants, but of course I've spent most of my existence in another part of the galaxy.

[spleen1015]

It would be a priviledge to work with you again Magneto.

[Abe Sargent]

Love my character hoops!

[Barkeep49]

It would make sense to add one more member to our team (because of the .5 rounding down bit). I'm a bit weary of Silver Surfer, as I think path is exactly the sort of under the radar good player than many an apocalypse would chose, and would prefer a different member.

[Bonegavel]

Checking in - got my PM. I'm going to need help with this so bear with me as we go along :)

[path12]

I'm a bit weary of Silver Surfer.

I make you tired?

[WVUFAN]

Doom is above this "checking in", as you call it.

[Abe Sargent]

I'd be interested in joining up with those I;m comfortable with - Captain America, Captain Marvel, Moon Knight for example. Steve (Captain America) trained me and I recruited Moon Knight for my West Coast team for a while. Plus, Monica and I have worked tirelessly beside each other for years.

-Anxiety

[Abe Sargent]

Even though he stole my woman, I could still respect Daredevil enough to work with him. Same with that Spiderman fella.

[WVUFAN]

Those of us with superior powers, mutants that is, and those with other powers, despite their failing to be a mutant.

Doom has superior powers, above paltry mutants. Doom knows what lies in your heart, Magneto, so be wary.

Doom KNOWS.

[Alan T]

Path is an excellent player who usually stays quiet and out of the limelight. It worries me that early on he is already trying to point people to a line of thinking that I already stated that I don't agree with.

[Abe Sargent]

I think path12 would be a good choice for two reasons: One the uber-powerfulness of his charatcer in comics might translate into a powerful character here, and two, he'a good player with an UTR style.

[Blade6119]

Checking in, heading to go read the rules again

[path12]

Path is an excellent player who usually stays quiet and out of the limelight. It worries me that early on he is already trying to point people to a line of thinking that I already stated that I don't agree with.

Well, let's have this discussion and get it over with then.

I appreciate the appraisals of my mad skillz and all, but when I first saw the rules, my initial thought was that if I had been Apocalypse I would be first off looking for players who had demonstrably played bad guys admirably.......that list would have names such as Alan, Blade, Anxiety, Ardent, Swaggs, RA on it. I frankly didn't think of just names in the 'second tier' of players, where I might place myself along with about 15 of the other players who are in this game.

For the record, Apocalypse apparently doesn't agree with this sentiment that I would be a great choice for an accomplice.

So to sum up, this is probably a dangerous line of thinking, since there are 5 out of at least 20 viable candidates. If we have a seer or someone who can clear me, let 'er rip. In the meantime, I would like to find a bad guy.

[Blade6119]

lol, reading my wikipedia entry i cracked up at this:

"Moon Knight is a fictional character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Doug Moench and Don Perlin, he first appeared in Werewolf by Night #32 (August 1975)."

[ntndeacon]

I am not surprised at all that I mandarin have made it past this first line of defense from this would be interloper in my plans. I could take him alone with one hand tied behind my back. That way Istill would have 5 rings to bring to bear against my enemies.

Beware Apocalypse and your sordid horsemen!

[Blade6119]

Anxiety, i should thank you...wikipedia says you designed all my weapons when you were in egpyt..thanks bro!

[hoopsguy]

WVU, just a reminder that not even Doom may edit posts in this realm.

[WVUFAN]

WHO ARE YOU TO SPEAK TO DOOM IN THAT MANNER!!!!

... er, yeah, sorry. Wanted to edit a typo and forgot. :-(

[Alan T]

You originally said the higher profile players need to be looked at. To me that means people who are constantly the topic of discussion in every WW game. Blade, Lathum, Hoops, Barkeep, etc. I completely disagree that someone who is a high profile would make an ideal pick for Apocolypse because as we found out in a few different games (Tombstone comes to my mind where Hoops, Lathum and Barkeep were the 3 badguys to start), sometimes having a setup with high profile players is a curse as they are targeted early for seer scans, witness following, etc.

You just now listed a few people who I don't view as high profile players, but instead are the people whom I think would be good choices. Very solid players who often stay out of the limelight like yourself, Swaggs, etc. That is what -I- would do if I was Apocolypse. In fact I had already decided if I ended up being Apocolypse the people I would choose would be Swaggs, Sackattack, Eaglesfan27 and Jonathan Ezarik. (no offense to everyone else, thats just who my list would have been).

Maybe I am completely wrong if you and Spleen think that Apocolypse would pick high profile players, then others probably do also (And perhaps the person who got picked to be Apocolypse agrees and did so). I just know I wouldn't have done that and I fully assume with this number of people, at least one if not more of that group will be scanned/followed/something tonight.

[spleen1015]

Although i think i actually have a rather horrid record when evil, i appreciate the nod. I may not fully agree with your line of thinking, but alan and barkeep are already saying it for me

[spleen1015]

I just know I wouldn't have done that and I fully assume with this number of people, at least one if not more of that group will be scanned/followed/something tonight.

I was just using it as a starting point for the discussion. That was the only thought I had given it before midnight or so when I realized that I'm not going to get that special PM.

I agree with you. There are a lot of things that need to be considered.

[Blade6119]

Moon Knight needs friends...who wants to be Moon Knight's friend?

[path12]

Yeah, my initial thought was something along the lines of "man, that could be a killer bad guy lineup", and I frankly didn't even think about the reasons you stated about being early targets for scanning, etc. I think we were just coming at the same sort of thoughts from different directions.

[DaddyTorgo]

i apparently have a PM. havn't checked it yet though.

[WVUFAN]

Moon Knight needs friends...who wants to be Moon Knight's friend?

Doom needs no friends, but you may be Doom's lackey.

[path12]

Moon Knight needs friends...who wants to be Moon Knight's friend?


Since Magneto didn't seem to be interested in my help, I would be happy to team with Moon Knight.

[Blade6119]

Silver Surfer and Moon Knight are now friends...do we need more, or do you want to fly as a duo?

[hoopsguy]

Note - if you want to form a team enter as a post:

TEAM WITH TYRITH (UATU THE WATCHER)

Or something along those lines.

[Blade6119]

If we form a team, can we add member without disbanding?

[Tyrith]

Yes.

[Blade6119]

BLADE6119 (MOON KNIGHT) TEAM WITH PATH12 (SILVER SURFER)

[Blade6119]

BLADE6119 (MOON KNIGHT) TEAM WITH PATH12 (SILVER SURFER)

[Blade6119]

Heading to class...path, i leave it up to you if you want to add more member...pick wisely though(cough cough not Dr. Doom)

[DaddyTorgo]

Eric...perhaps we might work together again to thwart this terrible evil which threatens both mutantkind and humankind, as per our earlier discussion my old friend?

FWIW I don't think Apocalypse went after the high-profile comic characters either because he didn't choose me

[path12]

Silver Surfer and Moon Knight are now friends...do we need more, or do you want to fly as a duo?

I'm fine either way -- I think overall we want an even number in order to maximize the bonuses, so I wouldn't have a problem with two more worthy allies.

[hoopsguy]

Teams:
Heroes may form "teams" by mutual declaration. When a team is formed, they have the opportunity to deliver additional damage by acting in unison (+0.5 additional damage for every member of the team, rounding down) .

One more note for Blade and Path - pick a name for your team as well. Thanks and sorry for not reminding you of that in the post a couple of minutes ago.

[hoopsguy]

Another note - there have been a couple of questions regarding the use of passive powers.

Passive powers are always used and the associated energy costs always totalled (if applicable). So there is no need to send a PM to the moderator indicating your interest in activating a passive power. However, all other powers would need to be posted in the thread to come into play.

[WVUFAN]

Heading to class...path, i leave it up to you if you want to add more member...pick wisely though(cough cough not Dr. Doom)

Not Doom?

NOT DOOM?!?!?

Doom will make you pay for those words. When you are groveling at the feet of Doom, you will wish you had not spoken.

So ... who here would like to be Doom's lack.. er ... "friend"?

[Abe Sargent]

Anxiety, i should thank you...wikipedia says you designed all my weapons when you were in egpyt..thanks bro!

No problem buddy. After Cap (America), the person in this group I'm the most tight with is you.

[Alan T]

Barkeep, any thoughts of two others we can add for our team? I fear I don't know much about alot of these people, but I'm not too trustful of those X-men ever since my brother (Thunderbird) died. Maybe we can add 2 more trustworthy people for our cause.

[spleen1015]

You already have me on your team. :( We need one more.

[path12]

One more note for Blade and Path - pick a name for your team as well. Thanks and sorry for not reminding you of that in the post a couple of minutes ago.

For now the team will be dubbed: SILVER MOON

[Talgian]

Mr. Sinister checking in.

So ... who here would like to be Doom's lack.. er ... "friend"?

Dr. Doom, I believe a distinguished man of science like yourself would be an excellent ally amongst these uneducated rabble. We should looking into aligning our goals for mutual benefit, of course.

Just a reminder - there is only one team right now that has mutually posted their intent to align (in bold) and listed a team name. And it isn't you, Barkeep, and others. I don't want you making assumptions about your "team" activity when it hasn't been officially formed yet.

Obviously. You are acceptable.

What should we call ourselves? Personally, the name "Doom and his Lackeys" has a nice ring to it.

[Mr. Wednesday]

I thought alot about this during the week. I think I have found some players who are excellent players tend to get alot of attention from seers/others and likely would avoid those. I also think I probably would avoid people who are newer to WW games as they tend to be more unpredictable (both for the good and bad).

I think if I had been picked to be Apocalypse, I would have chosen players who were very underrated players in my mind, I would have tried to get an assortment of type of characters as well. (not all physical or mental types).


I would have gone for a mix. I would have tried to get a couple of players who, in my mind, had previously distinguished themselves as strong "wolves", and I would have tried to get a couple who were less likely to be suspected.

[Blade6119]

Mr. W, i would like to extend an official invitation to join team Silver Moon to you, and would be glad to have your intellect aiding our success.

[Blade6119]

Daddy Torgo is also invited, though he seems rather intent on teaming up with magneto

[Talgian]

What should we call ourselves? Personally, the name "Doom and his Lackeys" has a nice ring to it.

As a fellow author of important works, I understand the importance of having one's name attached to one's endeavors. Therefore, I propose the following name for our team:

Doom, Sinister, & Co.

In the interest of comprOmise, your name is first, and the & Co. allows us to add subordinates as necessary.

TALGIAN (MR. SINISTER) TEAM WITH WVUFAN (DR. DOOM).

[Mr. Wednesday]

In the absence of my usual confederates from Psionex, I would be honored to lend my abilities to Silver Moon.

[DaddyTorgo]

Daddy Torgo is also invited, though he seems rather intent on teaming up with magneto

i am intent on joining A team. Magneto was simply the option from a RP-standpoint that was the most intriguing, especially as we have no idea of the good or badness of people yet.

I shall take you offer under serious consideration.

[Mr. Wednesday]

(OOC, there doesn't seem to be a lot of character info on my guy in Wikipedia. From what I can see of typical confederates, none are present here, and I don't know if there are any normal foes. What little there is of personality suggests to me that I've done a pretty good job of type-casting myself and won't have to do much "playing".)

[LoneStarGirl]

WVU you are hilarious.... ok ok, now i have to research my character some more so i know how to act

[hoopsguy]

MrW, I had never heard of this guy until he was requested and wasn't able to come up with much info as well. So for better or worse, I can't really help you with roleplay for him. That is the only guy in the list of twenty-five where I shrugged and said, "I've got nothing". Hopefully if there is a Mathemanic fan out there reading along they can tell me when this game is over if my representation of him from powers/abilities/etc was at least in the right area code.

[Blade6119]

Mr Wednesday (Mathemanic) JOIN TEAM SILVER MOON

[LoneStarGirl]

This very powerful, very beautiful woman would like to join a team. Any takers fellas?

[Talgian]

i am intent on joining A team. Magneto was simply the option from a RP-standpoint that was the most intriguing, especially as we have no idea of the good or badness of people yet.
Surely such a reknowned mind as yourself would feel more comfortable amongst those with a similar intellect. We both feel that mutant research and understanding of its causes and effects is crucial, perhaps teaming up would allow us to better compare notes? What better way to prove to the world that mutants shouldn't be discriminated against than firm, scientific fact? Of course, my associate Dr. Doom would have to approve, but I'm confident a man of your stature would suit even his rather stringent tastes.

[Bonegavel]

Listen Bubs, I don't like the smell of any of you but I wouldn't mind teaming with the first person that goes and grabs a few brews.

[DaddyTorgo]

haha. me join Dr. Doom??

[Blade6119]

[Barkeep49]

Alan how does Mutant first sound?

[Barkeep49]

And spleen you still want in? So we'd have myself, Alan, and Spleen looking for one more mutant. Perhaps a mutant who could communicate privately? That would be quite nice.

[Blade6119]

Would any magical hero like to join silver moon? We have what i believe is a physical, psyionic, and engery...if im not mistaken about my newfound allies, all we need is a magical hero to round us out

[path12]

Man, I'm going to have to spend some time on Wiki tonight -- I have no idea which characters might have what kinds of powers.

[LoneStarGirl]

I want to form the Avengers. I will be the leader and two of you will join me. I am always the leader of any group I am in. And there are plenty of you that should want to join me!

[path12]

Mods, is it possible to be a member of more than one team?

[Barkeep49]

blade...I am not magical, but if the offer still stands I believe I have much to offer the group. However due to my stature I feel that the name of the group should reflect my involvement...

Alan how does Mutant first sound?

That sounds excellent to me.

[Blade6119]

Me neither. I'm hoping those who are more comic book oriented would help us out here.

You shunned one of my team members, why should i help you?

Unless you want to form some mega team with a combination of our two teams down the road...haha, that would be funny.

First you have to form your team officially before i can joke up names

[Blade6119]

blade...I am not magical, but if the offer still stands I believe I have much to offer the group. However due to my stature I feel that the name of the group should reflect my involvement...

Ill defer to path and mr. w on both your acceptance and team name change. If they deem it wise, ill abide...i was shooting to have all 4 elements, but ill go with the flow. I suppose we dont have to be locked in at 4, and could take more. I just didnt want too many, as the more we add the higher chance we will be infiltrated

[Alan T]

I am going to have to create a cheat sheet so I know who is which character. I keep having to go back to page 1 to see.

So we need to add Spleen too now by bolding him in and him also posting?

I agree having someone else with some form of mental ability might be a nice addition to our team. I fear that although my desire to find my brother's killer is strong, I don't have much to offer in the way of mind abilities.

DOOM shall always be in capital letters, as befitting someone of my stature.

[Tyrith]

Sure, that's not a problem, as long as its obvious all the members want to join the team and you bold it. We just want you to do it this way so we can track things easily.

[Barkeep49]

Tyrith: The hope came less from whether it was kosher and more about whether there was a 4th person who could live up to the high standards of Mutants First.

[Blade6119]

Im tired of waiting(im impatient)

ADD DaddyTorgo (Professor X) TO TEAM SILVER MOON

Possible change of team name will have to wait for entire team to be here, but id certainly be open to the idea. I wont accept a name like "Professor X is the best hero ever," but i certainly understand it not being fair only two heroes are recognized in the name. I think a team name that does not recognize and hero would be ideal, as it might become important in time to cut loose or add certain members.

[Talgian]

Me neither. I'm hoping those who are more comic book oriented would help us out here.
I'm not an expert, but I have a decent grounding for some of these characters. These are very simplified.

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.

I have to go to dinner, but I'm sure others can correct my mistakes and do the others as well.

And I agree with what you said about the name of our band of heroes. I was actually hoping for more of the latter and certainly not the former, although that may be true ;)

[Talgian]

I love that talgain has 0 posts, that cracks me up every time i see it :)
Well, you know how rarely I post when I'm playing a game. I'm lucky to get more than 3 posts per cycle!

Dr. Doom, I agree that DOOM should be capitalized, but I must insist that we leave it open for new members to join, thus I must disagree with "and Associated Lackeys." & Co. will hopefully attract a higher pedigree of teammate. Regardless, I note you have not yet actually joined forces with me, and surely sooner is better than later with such enemies afoot.

-Talgian

[Blade6119]

That rounds out our 4 for now, though we will certainly entertain any more requests for membership if the hero meshes well with our current assortment.

Path, Mr. W, DT..do you all want to wait until tomorrow to consider who our target for day 1 will be?

[Talgian]

Ha! The fools delayed our dining time. Now they shall suffer!

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.

Alright, going for real.

[Thomkal]

Cannonball checking in here. I likely won't be able to contribute much until tomorrow though.

:::looks around at the other heroes and villains in awe:::

"Ah' don't know how I made it here with the rest of you, but I'm ready and willing to team up with my fellow X-Men or any of you other heroes. That is your thinking its wise for us all to team up."

Mandarin would be willing to accompany other members in this little challenge we are jointly facing. In this our mission is the same.

[ntndeacon]

How would the teams give an insight to the seers? MAybe Iam being dense but Idon't get it.

[Alan T]

How would the teams give an insight to the seers? MAybe Iam being dense but Idon't get it.

When Barkeep originally suggested it, the first thing that popped to my mind was a mechanism similar to the crown a king game. After a while you can predictably estimate the total score expected for a team's "attack" you can also figure in their team attack bonus. If you end up with a team that for some reason ends up with some kind of penalty (like the one you would get from a bad guy being in the team sabotaging the team's effort), you can then perhaps narrow down where one bad guy might be.

he might have a different idea of where he is coming from though, but this is what popped into my head when he first said it.

LSG, for reference, I have highlighted in Green Avengers past and present.

Purple highlights to memebrs of the Avengers that I smply can't work with. That Tony Stark is simply too uppity for me, and we've never gotten along, even when he was on my team I preferred Rhodey in the suit. Hulk is too violent, although he varies, and if this is the Banner's-personality-inside-the-Hulk Hulk, then he'd be fine.

Yellow highlights to members of the Avengers in either the future or alternate universes.

Blue highlights to serious Avengers allies who would mesh well on a team.

Captain America, I'm always ready to fight at your side, and if you and they agree I would suggest that we should fight against tyranny side by side. I also know that we must keep an eye on Mandarin.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm out for a few hours at least (to spend time with my wife) and possibly the night. Should be able to post quite a bit tomorrow from work.

[Abe Sargent]

Hey Schmidty, I see you are on now, which Hulk are you?

[Talgian]

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.

I hope these help a little bit. There'll be more later, but I must be off.

Powers would probably include strong energy attacks, something tied to his ability to see the future and determine enemies' weaknesses, and his tactical brilliance.


LSG is Monica Rambeau, the second Captain marvel - not an alien, just a person with a cool set of powers.

[WVUFAN]

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.

Powers will most likely be based on his inertia, ability to crush you, and various resistances/immunities.

This isn't really helpful in any way aside from just a possible role-play element, but Cain Marko (Juggernaut's "real" name) is the half-brother of Charles Xavier.

[Abe Sargent]

Plus Jugg is not a mutant but enhanced by a mystical doo-dad of some sort. I've heard he's reformed now, but I don;t know. I'd always be willing to help out those trying to leave behind their darker days, like when I led the Thunderbolts

+ RP points for Schmidty please. And I suppose for WVUFAN as well

[WVUFAN]

Actually, Doom said Hulk should smash Hawkeye. We would make a wonderful team, you and I, Hulk: Doom would point, you would smash.

[DaddyTorgo]

Well there is very little to go on so far, but I would offer that I find it interesting that people seem inclined to keep the X-Men/Avengers universes split apart and form their teams that way rather than cooperating across "universes" if you will to try to build the strongest team (although DOOM's team as well as ours hasn't subscribed to this). Honestly DOOM, if I could reconcile my stomach to working with Mr. Sinister then I might have taken you up on your offer. Perhaps after I have some additional insight into things and are convinced that you both are united with me in opposing Apocalypse then I might reconsider.

[WVUFAN]

Many people do not fully understand the grandeur that is Doom. They consider me evil, as the soon-to-die Hawkeye has stated. As many great men are, Doom is misunderstood.

You too are a great man, Professor X, abeid less than Doom, but great nevertheless. You want the same as me: peace for your people.

Look at the world around us: Humans killing mutants, mutants killing humans, for what? To prove what? The fault of this lies with the leaders of this world, those who stand idly by and allow such attrocities to occur. I wish to change all that.

With the world under one ruler, DOOM, I will end poverty and hunger. Under the iron fist of DOOM, I will end hatred. Under the gracious but complete leadership of DOOM, I will end war. Peace for ALL, humans and mutants alike.

So we are not so different as you may think. I am superior, but not so much different. Consider that and perhaps we can work together.

Just wanted to post another reminder to send any PMs to Tyrith, along with me. That should ensure you get a faster answer - whichever one of us is available first can tackle your question. And we will include each other on the reply to make sure that we are providing consistent information.

[path12]

Mere hours after you join us you negotiate with other teams? Have you a loyalty problem, professor?

[Tyrith]

This is your friendly other moderator speaking...

Hoops has gone to bed. I will be around at least two more hours to answer questions, deal with your crap, etc.

RESPECT ME, OR SUFFER MY WRATH! *ahem* Did I say that aloud?

Have a good evening.

[Poli]

Did I hear something?

[SackAttack]

Captain America, I'm always ready to fight at your side, and if you and they agree I would suggest that we should fight against tyranny side by side. I also know that we must keep an eye on Mandarin.

Agreed, Tony. I can work with you.

Clint, I'm sorry, but your past association with the Black Widow isn't something I can easily put aside.

Betrayal in the name of peace is still betrayal.

[DaddyTorgo]

Mere hours after you join us you negotiate with other teams? Have you a loyalty problem, professor?

Of course not Path. I was simply stating that for later in the game, if the opportunity presents itself and consolidation of teams becomes an option. The end result is a victory over Apocalypse, nothing else matters. I am presuming that we will see all teams go through several iterations along the way during the game.

I am quite content with the team I am a part of now Silver Surfer. I think we have all of the different types of powers covered as well as any other team, and with you and myself we boast two of the strongest (if not the strongest) players in our respective disciplines. And certainly Mathemanic's powers are sure to be unique, and Moon Knight seems a strong choice (and Blade himself is a strong player).

[Abe Sargent]

SackAttack - I heerby offer you a spot in Daredevil and my team.

[Abe Sargent]

Agreed, Tony. I can work with you.

Clint, I'm sorry, but your past association with the Black Widow isn't something I can easily put aside.

Betrayal in the name of peace is still betrayal.

Um, dude, you know that Clint and Steve are best friends?

I am pleased with your response, Professor. You must understand that I am not adept in interpreting the emotions of humans. Your abilities greatly enhance what I am now just calling The Team (until an official moniker is adopted).

[Talgian]

Honestly DOOM, if I could reconcile my stomach to working with Mr. Sinister then I might have taken you up on your offer.
It saddens me, Charles, that we are not working together. Are we not two highly distinguished individuals with great interest in mutants? You claim I am some sort of foul villain, but none have worked harder to me to understand, and therefore help, mutants than I. Even the very term X-Factor comes from my name for the mutant genes, Essex Factors. When the Legacy Virus broke out, I worked tirelessly to see it cured. Even though Dr. MacTaggart discovered the cure first, I offered to return Colossus to you after his noble sacrifice. Our interests align so often Professor, I truly believe if we were team up, the benefits to all mutantkind would be quite substantial.

[DaddyTorgo]

I am pleased with your response, Professor. You must understand that I am not adept in interpreting the emotions of humans. Your abilities greatly enhance what I am now just calling The Team (until an official moniker is adopted).

As do yours Silver Surfer. I was simply operating under the assumption that the Horsemen will have infiltrated at least one if not most/all of the "teams" that exist right now, so some breakups and reforming are to be expected.

Until such a point as we have a greater understanding of who might be good and who might be evil we need to keep in mind that although we may all have been enemies in the past, in the face of Apocalypse and the Horsemen, we all must work as allies.

Just trying to combat some of the sectarianism that I am already beginning to see develop in the minds of my fellow heroes.

If it means an end to the threat of Apocalypse, I will work with anyone.

[SackAttack]

Um, dude, you know that Clint and Steve are best friends?

Yes sir.

And this is nothing personal. Friends we are, and shall remain, but there's the very strong possibility that not everybody is what they seem to be here, and, well...you've got some History. With Apocalypse on the loose, discretion is the better part of valor.

[DaddyTorgo]

As I said Nathanial...perhaps soon it will be to our advantage to work together. However at this point I don't even trust the members of my own team completely. In due time perhaps.

[path12]

If it means an end to the threat of Apocalypse, I will work with anyone.

In this we are agreed. There was a time where I could not imagine returning as the envoy of Galactus, and yet I did. The ultimate evil is our enemy here, not other teams.

[LoneStarGirl]

Anxiety, if you still want me I would be happy to be a part of your team. As long as you realize I WILL be the leader, as I am the leader of every group I am apart of.

[LoneStarGirl]

Join Spleen into Mutants first

[Abe Sargent]

Spiderman, I see you are on. Wanna bring us to four? Daredevil, Captain Marvel, and Hawkeye could really use ya!

[Blade6119]

Team Mutant First, would you like to form an informal relationship between our two groups. Of the other groups i have seen formed, or forming, you seem to be the most complete in terms of rounded abilities. In a game this large i highly doubt small teams of 3 and 4 are going to be able to lynch on their own. This is by no means a merger offer or anything, but to achieve our requirements for lynching i think cooperation will be required and you seem the most logical ally for our team right now.

[LoneStarGirl]

Spiderman will join the group!

[Abe Sargent]

Of the other groups i have seen formed, or forming, you seem to be the most complete in terms of rounded abilities.


We have a person with obvious energy oriented powers, someone with "sonar" and cool fighting abilities, and my arrows run the gambut with a variety of various tricks and attacks. That's pretty well rounded so far.

-Anxiety

[Bonegavel]

So, none of you girls want me on your team?

- Wolverine

[WVUFAN]

Doom and Sinister may have need for your ... unique abilities, Wolverine.

[Blade6119]

-Anxiety

When i began typing that up your group was at 2 members...i would certainly enjoy your cooperation as well, though i will be honest my initial opinion of your group tends to be physical heavy. That by no means indicates we cannot work together, as 3 teams working in unison(some level of it) would likely prevent shenanigans from individual evil members

[DaddyTorgo]

Eric...I urge you to consider our offer. Remaining seperate but establishing an informal relationship as Moon Knight suggested will allow us to both seperately evaluate our teams for potential Horsemen (or even Apocalypse) and then once that is done we can move from there and either merge or have full faith in each other.

[Abe Sargent]

So, none of you girls want me on your team?

- Wolverine

Wolvie -

Gotta keep the team at an even number. We're at three right now and SPidey hasn't said anything. You want in, you're in. SPidey joins, we can grab another to sit at six.

-Hawkeye

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Spiderman, I see you are on. Wanna bring us to four? Daredevil, Captain Marvel, and Hawkeye could really use ya!

Sure thing.

SPIDERMAN JOINS LE RESISTANCE

[Abe Sargent]

Alright - we are at four!!!

Wolvie, you want in, that'll make us five, and then we can get one other (Cannonball?)

[LoneStarGirl]

I would love to see a list of each team and all its members tonight.
And there are about 6 people that haven't checked in yet

[LoneStarGirl]

Anxiety I would love to leave the team at 4.... if we get too big we might be letting in a horseman or worse!

[WVUFAN]

Sure thing.

SPIDERMAN JOINS LE RESISTANCE

Ahh... Doom loves this group:

-- An egotistical woman who stole her name from a dead man.
-- A fallen hero who can fire arrows, but has brought nothing but shame to his friends -- and who allowed his wife to die.
-- A blind man with delusions of being important.
-- Spider-Man.

Laughable. The only one with even a small value is Spiderman.

[Poli]

Is someone talking? I think I hear a mosquito.

[DaddyTorgo]

I hypothesize that somewhere in the list of those who havn't checked in are hiding 1 (or possibly 2) members of the forces of evil.

The others I would suggest that perhaps those with seer powers should focus on those who were active early in the team-building process, as the members of the forces of evil would know that their best chance of hiding is to join a team and not sabotage them early in the process.

[LoneStarGirl]

Actually his name was Captain Mar-Vell.... I am just Captain Marvel, but you can call me MS. Rambeau

[Abe Sargent]

Fair enough LSG

[WVUFAN]

Irrevalent. You are beneath Doom.

[Jonathan Ezarik]

Don't be mad because we won't let you join our group, Doomie. :p

[LoneStarGirl]

Nobody wanted Doom to join their group. He is weak.

[Bonegavel]

Alright - we are at four!!!

Wolvie, you want in, that'll make us five, and then we can get one other (Cannonball?)

Count me in.

[Talgian]

Doom and Sinister may have need for your ... unique abilities, Wolverine.
I concur. Why, having another study subj...teammate would be most beneficial, especially someone your combat experience.

Nobody wanted Doom to join their group. He is weak.
Such comments only detract from our hunt for Apocolypse.

[SackAttack]

Can't speak for Tony, but I'd love to have you alongside, Wolverine.

Pah! Even though you have shown yourselve to be not totally with out talent, you pale in comparison to
MANDARIN

But on this task we are as one. I would even deign to join you in this worthy pursuit.

those are the teams i have
i might have missed something

[ntndeacon]

Another alien presense! it harkens me back when ifound my rings. Venom, I would be willing to team up with you. with my intelligence and my many rings along with your fascinating abilities...We would be a formidable pair.

[Talgian]

Last Three.

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.

[Swaggs]

Storm checking in.

I am interesting in joining with just two other players to form a team.

Anyone interested?

[DaddyTorgo]

mr weds (mathemanic) is part of our team as well I do believe.

although blade...could we use some more "force" on our side? raw physical power?

[Blade6119]

That was my reasoning in trying to form an alliance with either Mutant First or Le Resistance...both seem to have more physical power, as we seem more based on the other elements. Though if you wish to expand the team instead, raiders and a few others are still available.

[Swaggs]

Gramm and Schmidty, any interest in forming a team?

[DaddyTorgo]

i would be open to either alternative. i don't necessarily see a negative to having a larger team initially, as i think evil will be reluctant to sabotage early, so as long as we are all wary enough of our teammates and don't trust them blindly we ought to be alright. agree or disagree with this point?

[Blade6119]

I believe the wont sabotage at all if we are attaking a good player, or more to the point one of the 12 required for their victory. I would expect them only to sabotage if the target is evil, and even then i expect most of their sabotage to come in the form of discussion and attempts to shift the target. I think actual sabotage, as per the rules, will be a minor influence on the game(not a seer like role as barkeep has suggested). Thats my two cents.

As for alliances or large teams, i just wanted to keep small teams and cooperate, so when results came if one team seemed weaker then others we would have a smaller sample size to sort through when searching for evil

[Grammaticus]

Gramm and Schmidty, any interest in forming a team?

I'm interested.

[DaddyTorgo]

weaker how Moon Knight?

[Grammaticus]

Gramm and Schmidty, any interest in forming a team?

How do you feel about Four? Mandarin has got some bling!

[Grammaticus]

Am I correct in understanding that when you attack someone, that IS your vote? Also, once you do it, you cannot take it back. Which means no changing votes???

[Talgian]

Mandarin, your surpreme intellect seems like it would be an ideal fit on our team. I for one would enjoy your presence, and I am sure we would be able to help each other.

[ntndeacon]

How do you feel about Four? Mandarin has got some bling!

thank you for those kind sentaments Venom. I would be proud to use my gifts for our common goal.

[Blade6119]

weaker how Moon Knight?

If we are all super-heroes launching attacks that could or could not result in a lynch, and players will be attacked who wont be killed, id imagine quite a bit of storytelling will take place. I am currently expecting much of the info we glean from this game to be a direct result of these recaps from hoops. Knowing hoops, they wont be 1 sentence summaries. So i fully expect subtle differences between teams, hints as to who has what powers, and quite a bit else.

Weaker in that he maybe says "Next, team Silver Moon came in to deliver their own share of punishment on Dr. Doom. While certain member were quite effective, in general the group seemed to lack the same punch of the other groups."

Maybe that would tell too much and he wont do that, but thats what im hoping happens in case of sabotage.

[Swaggs]

How do you feel about Four? Mandarin has got some bling!

What are the pros and cons?

My immediate thought was to just join up with one other person so that I would definitively know if they were sabotaging me, but then I thought that would look very suspicious, as any two of the badguys could just do that (and, in typical WW fashion, I go back to thinking that they wouldn't for such a reason :) ).

Then I though maybe three would be better, as it would still be small enough to track most movement, but it seems as if four is the trend. I guess it is inevitable that the badguys will infiltrate multiple groups, as I doubt they will all stick together.

Anyway.. I'm babbling. I definitely want to join a group, so lets get a name together and make it happen.

[Tyrith]

Am I correct in understanding that when you attack someone, that IS your vote? Also, once you do it, you cannot take it back. Which means no changing votes???

Correct.

[Schmidty]

Hulk and Wolverine, What do you say,

JOIN FORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Grammaticus]

Storm,

Are you thinking 3 because a block vote would show a baddie amongst us and we could quickly figure out who it was? If so, I think we could do the same with 4.

[Blade6119]

Want to hear a crazy thought swaggs? I seriously considered, if i was evil, forming a team of just evil. No one would believe we would so openly support each other, attack bonuses through the roof, and it would allow us to explain support of one another. It would be a great play...hell, maybe someone is already making it

[Grammaticus]

Storm (Swaggs) I saw your other post. I'm thinking small for the same reason. Looks like Hulk and Mandarin are game.

I am and if you are, then we can formalize as a team of Four.

[Swaggs]

Storm,

Are you thinking 3 because a block vote would show a baddie amongst us and we could quickly figure out who it was? If so, I think we could do the same with 4.

I was more just thinking that a smaller group would have less of a chance to be infiltrated, but I am fine with a group of 4.

[DaddyTorgo]

that would be an awesome, ballsy play. damm i wish i was evil in this game.

[Talgian]

Am I correct in understanding that when you attack someone, that IS your vote? Also, once you do it, you cannot take it back. Which means no changing votes???Correct.
But don't the rules say you can attack twice if you have the energy, effectively voting twice (although not as strong as if you poured most of your energy into a single strike)?
Additional attacks may be initiated, assuming there is energy remaining to execute the attack.

[Poli]

Correct.
I can see it now. There's blood in the future.

[Tyrith]

But don't the rules say you can attack twice if you have the energy, effectively voting twice (although not as strong as if you poured most of your energy into a single strike)?

Yes, but additional attacks require additional energy to initiate.

I have definitely considered it. I think it may be a little far fetched in practice, but I can definitely see a group of 2 and a group of 3 infiltrating and manipulating a team.

[Alan T]

Join Spleen in Mutants first

Just affirming Spleen's place with us. We still have room for one more in our team for a mutant interested in furthing our causes.

I'm in.

Go ahead and establish it, with the name you choose, and I will join.

[Grammaticus]

Team FORCE

Swaggs (Storm)
Schmidty (Hulk)
ntndeacon (Mandarin)
Grammaticus (Venom)

I think everyone said they were in. If the name sucks, throw out something else and we can change it.

[Swaggs]

So, I saw Alan T post this earlier, but, before the game, did anyone else think about what group they would form if they were chosen as Apocolpyse?

Does anyone think there could be some value in (if we get enough people to contribute who they would have considered to form a sort of pool) naming who would choose?

[Grammaticus]

Team FORCE

Swaggs (Storm)
Schmidty (Hulk)
ntndeacon (Mandarin)
Grammaticus (Venom)

I think everyone said they were in. If the name sucks, throw out something else and we can change it.

We could always be: "Four Horseman's Bane"

On a quick run through, I would have chosen:

[ntndeacon]

Mandarin joins Team force

I like the Four Horsemen's Bane

[Blade6119]

On a quick run through, I would have chosen:

Blade

Jonathan Ezarik

Apparently im not as hated and disrespected as i thought, as a few people have now mentioned me. All i can say is thank you for the nod :)

[Swaggs]

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.

[DaddyTorgo]

i would have chosen hmmm

wvu
path
schmidty/bonegavel/juggernaut
and someone else...not sure who. prolly one of the newer players
