[ooc]ditto, for the most part. I have read in the GD, but not posted under Mimic though.[/ooc]

Agreed MagnetMan. I was in it if the formation of the team itself aided in his project, but if it's just for mere looks I don't find it in my our best interest. Especially since my powers have little help to offer

Leave Prelate Team

Re-Join Strike team

(ooc) I think someone suggested using two different browsers. That's worked wonders for me -- one is in GD, and the other one is here, so there's no call for my real ID to pop over here. (/ooc)

This is separate from an attack - just a straight "vote" option that is available. The Prelates (and Apocalypse) are not part of this vote. Can only be exercised once per three days.

[Nightcrawler]

As Cable has already committed to the mission, so will I, perhaps we can aid each other.

COMMIT SENTINEL MISSION

I will suggest the following rosters:

Galactus: Silver Surfer, Hulk, Mr. Fantastic, Henry Pym and Magneto. Mimic and Kang can proceed with their Galactus-stopping endeavors for the day.

Sentinels: Firebird, Vision, Colossus, Beast, Cable, Aardwolf, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.

Thoughts?

If that is your will, I can go on the mission as requested. Just confirm and I will place my order in. However I think Henry Pym at least duplicates some of my intellect and could free me up to work on an invention that will require some time to finish up. (ooc: I've been in discussions with our moderators via pm trying to work out details of some invention possibilities but the bottom line is that none will be finished if I go on missions every day)

[DrDoom]

I hear much talk of teams, and little talk of how we will root out the traitors. Teams it seems could be useful, but are they useful enough to dominate our time? The mission list posted seems to make sense, so unless people can suggest that they are better used elsewhere, let us follow it.

In the meantime, who shall we target with our attacks today? Who is the most suspect amongst us. Silver Samurai has drawn Doom's attention with his last minute attack on the Human Torch yesterday, and his flippant comments about allegiance to Apocalypse. Prelate Mimic, your vague plans to destroy Galactus are worrisome, but Doom hopes you are merely keeping your cards hidden to avoid being sabotaged.

Who else do people suspect? Or are most waiting for the results of these missions?

[Mimic]

One last quick message to mull over while I'm gone: the Prelates can order guard actions as well as other things. I think if we coordinated our order actions it would aid in rooting out traitors.

[KangtheConqueror]

I thought about that Mimic, but using the Guard order means no use of other stuff, and you and I at least are set in what we're working on

[GhostRider]

I'm putting this in so I don't forget. Placeholder barring an explanation for the big attack on Zippo:

standard attack Collosus

[KangtheConqueror]

To make sure I get this in. Not meant for a death-blow, but a wake up since I"m not a fan of those sliding by

Standard Attack Gambit

[Beast]

As unfortunate as it is, chronographic restraints are severly limiting my contributions to our cause today.

Since it has been suggested, and I find it to be a logical conclusion, I will
Commit Sentinel Mission

Clarification - the use of "Guard" does not prevent the Prelate from using a Special action. It prevents the target of the order.

Kang orders Nightcrawler to stand guard on Kang for Night 2. Kang can still do special actions. Nightcrawler is no longer eligible for Mission, Galactus, or use of Special Attack/Ability for that day.

[KangtheConqueror]

Ah, that changes things.

I would encourage you to work on your invention. Who feels they have the abilities to help in a Galactus mission today besides the people I have suggested?

[Firebird]

I am going to :

Go on the Sentinel Mission

Where I think my talents are best placed.

Please note that the only evidence we have the Colossus delivered the heavier blow and not Silver Samurai is Silver Samurai saying it was not him.

However, I, too, await word from Colossus as to what happened.

That's true Magneto, I had forgotten. At the same token, not that I feel that our puppetmasters would do this to us, I was present during another battle when certain actions caused the deadline to be hours earlier and those that hadn't voted were punished. I have slight concerns about that which is why I at least wanted a placeholder.

[Firebird]

ooc I will be in and out today packign and preparing for my trip. AS such, I will not be immeidately available, but I will be checking in, no question.

[Quicksilver]

Go on the Sentinel Mission

[hoopsguy]

Wow - for people who are still trying to learn about their comic book characters, I just found a really interesting site. Tons of information on the couple of characters (pretty obscure ones) that I looked up.

Marvel Universe: The Appendix! -- Profiles

Stuff like this might be helpful in researching the abilities of characters for your own "make your own power" stunts ...

[KangtheConqueror]

Crickey that's a lot of information.

[JeanGrey]

My attack is likely to go, again, to those who have contributed less. I do have suspicions among the more vocal and active players, but in a game this large, would like to make flying beneath notice something people don't do, as it could be quite easy to do. I will also be making my attack with-in the next few hours, as after that meditation time is required.

[HenryPym]

Just in case the Silver Surfer and Vision missed it, I have already committed to the Sentinels mission. I may be of some use in Galactus missions in the future, but if there is an active Sentinel(s) in this mission, I feel my talents are better suited here.

I hope this is helpful. It looks like overkill on the Sentinel front, but i wouldn't expect everyone to check in before deadline anyway.

I strongly urge that Magneto be used on the Sentinel mission. Not to use someone who, uniquely, has both the powers and experience to battle the robots seems a massive waste of resources. Especially if you believe, as I do, that the Sentinel mission should take precedence over the Galactus mission. I'm not even sure that we have to send a Galactus mission every day.

I am also concerned that Henry Pym, Mr Fantastic and Beast are all being denied the opportunity to assist where, I suspect, they are best suited - in the laboratory. Having said that I think, at this stage, we need to accept that the individual knows best where their talents are suited. If Scarlet Witch deems that she will be of little use on the mission then we have little option but to accept her word for it. So if the others feel they are best suited to mission-work then that is fine, I just don't feel pressure should be applied to them to do so.

[JeanGrey]

I agree that Magneto would be a big help on the Sentinel mission.

[Nightcrawler]

The Brethren will line 'em up, Magneto can knock 'em down

[Scarlet Witch]

We only have two more hours to determine who goes on what mission, right?

[hoopsguy]

2 1/2 hours until both Mission and Galactus are processed.

[Nightcrawler]

Two and a half by my calculations

[Firebird]

Yep, all of our team is now on this mission.

Let us not fall into the trap of placing an abundance of trust in the infallibility of the Prelates. Moon Knight and Doctor Strange, though shown to be loyal, also have demonstrated by their deaths that being of a high rank does not indicate one's immunity to lapses.

This is a good point.

[ProfessorX]

hmmm

Sorry for the delay in replying, Erik, I have only just returned from a task of great [ ooc ] import.

No, I only took into account the powers and skills that I perceive in us all, with an eye toward balancing the priorities of the three separate tasks.

[hoopsguy]

Here is the current attack report:

Post #775: Silver Samurai attacks Colossus
Post #800: Aardwolf attacks SilverSamurai
Post #915: GhostRider attacks Colossus
Post #916: Kang attacks Gambit

Not attacked: everyone else

This is a very interesting assertion, Wanda. I had wondered why you seemed reluctant to join the mutant mission yesterday. With your probabiity-altering powers, I'd have thought you well suited for virtually any mission, but I trust your judgement in this matter.

[Magneto]

No one has commited to a mission to combat Galactus today, for whatever reason. I am rested enough to undertake a mission today, so I will do so.

I'm a prelate and I agree with this.

I think rooting out the rebels will take a combination of missions and standard attacks. I don't really want to see a mission fail, but sabotage would help us narrow the search some. As far as the standard attacks go, I'm looking at Silver Samurai, Collosus, and Mimic...not necessarily in that order. I'm looking at Mimic mostly for throwing too much trust at Magneto and the other two for a possibly overly-strong first day attack. The fact that is was against me plays some small part. According to SS, Collosus attacked huge. If that is true, I'm looking at him. If SS is trying to deflect blame that should be his, he becomes my prime target.

[ProfessorX]

Johnny - I think Calvin just had a thought and overplayed his hand. Or at least I'm willing to believe that for the time being. I wouldn't look overly hard at him for that, certainly not harder than at others...

[JeanGrey]

There has been a lack of focus on Galactus, including by myself. I shall order someone, as we get closer to deadline, to help with that mission if needed. Thoughts would be welcomed.

I agree with what you are saying. It's why I was reluctant, very reluctant, to join the Prelate Super team. However, do you actually trust anyone or even think well of somebody? It seems everything you say is tearing down another.

I believe Hulk has. I don't think we want to send any one person, no matter how formidable, to combat Galactus. I would be of even less use on the Galactus mission than on the Sentinel one though.

I'm willing to discuss this possibility and look elsewhere. I just get nervous when too much trust is given without sufficient challenge. There were a number of people that did good things on missions that didn't get sabotaged and singling out Magneto seemed odd.
