I would expect Magneto wouldn't have time for such trivial matters, anyways.

Ok with changes, adding in my missing votes from Juggernaught and Sinister, and modifying Barkeep by -1, I get:
Iron Man: 19 (13 counted for) (+5 Anxiety) (+2 Barkeep) = (20 counted for) Mystique: 11 (6 counted for) Cannonball: 9.5 (7 counted for) Magneto: 4 (2 counted for) Still something a bit off on Iron Man, unless Anxiety is 5 total (4+1) which makes it even out. |

i think we should look at those who laid into Iron Man in the middle. It's a traditional wolfish hiding place to be sure, but that's because it's the best. are you going to be around before deadline tomorrow CR? [/ooc] |

I can speak for #2 myself. We were online all morning and other than a few people here or there, our team was the only one discussing anything. We discussed possible candidates and then decided to go for IronMan. We moved as a team, but it was by no means a 15 minute deal, we talked about various candidates for quite a while before that. |

I'm still not sure how much good resisting backlash by Iron Man does you unless you think you may face several attacks and blunting or resisting Iron Man's might be the key to avoiding lynch. Again, especially so early, with no real idea of what everybody's motives are. |

Makes sense. But one vote might have been sufficient to trigger action by others, if that's what you sought. A rapid-fire attack once you chose to move basically assured that the only way Iron Man wasn't going to get railroaded was if another candidate arose who drew sufficient ire from other heroes. Particularly since, once committed, joining another fight in the same day would put any or each of you at a disadvantage moving forward. |

Looking things over, it actually was a discussion over 100 posts and 2 hours 15 minutes to decide on Ironman. I'm sure I missed some stuff, but you were actually online during alot of this Cpt America, I'm suprised you don't remember this better.

It seems too obvious for Magneto, if he was evil. But it can't be overlooked that Tony was not only not evil, but was one of the 12. That means if this was an accident it was a 50/50 shot for Magneto to pick a 12'er (5 evil+8 not 12 = 13 then minus 1 for himself makes 12 and 12). A coin toss on the first night with such conviction was thrown into the first salvo?

Here's what I see.
"Attack one of those guys, they're who I'D have chosen." "I'd go after Iron Man, because he's a big name FOFCer." "Form of a weasel, attack!" |

Well I guess my question in return would be: What is the point of being in a team if you do not act as a team? This is something I wondered earlier today as people brought up various things. We obviously didn't form these teams based on trust (At least I didn't, since I don't know who is bad or good). My reasons for forming a team and voting as a team: 1) To try to figure out possible bad guys by doing the math from team votes. 2) To be able to have support/friends to help keep you alive longer. 3) To try to work together and brainstorm and find a common place to push and use the team bonus to enable your own agenda gets pushed rather than others (who may or may not be part of apocolypse. Now I've seen people who didnt vote as teams today which invalidates #1. I have seen people who didn't really support their teammates to try to work out some alliance with others to keep their team mate alive which meant #2 didn't help Ironman today. I have seen people who just voted whichever way they wanted without much discussion with their team which invalidates #3. So my question to others would be.. Why in the world did you form up in a team with people who you don't trust who you have no intentions of discussing the vote with and have no desire to protect? Like them or hate them, I know at least with Magneto and Mystique they will be here during the day when I am to discuss possible moves and we'll work together to try to figure out the best moves. Could one of them be part of Apocolypse's team? Perhaps! But the more they communicate, the more likely it might be to catch them in a lie. |

Yeah. 50/50 are not the kind of odds I'd go in guns blazing on, particularly as the Horsemen have the advantage of knowing who the Twelve are. We don't. Could it be an accident? Sure. I'd be more inclined to believe that if not for his Immobilize action. |

Magneto, I submit to you this quote from V for Vendetta. You'll soon see why I made that connection.
"Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. "

Except there's a first mover advantage here. If I'm going to attack someone I want to make sure it's good for all it's worth. The longer something is discussed publicly the more likely it is that someone will throw up some sort of defense. I agree with all of what Alan said. I acted in that same manner and I'm guessing spleen did as well. Perhaps that's why we formed as a team: we have a like view of how it should be used.
Any vote, as you point out, in this game is strong. So why not just accept your strength and go with it? I did. Why would you want to appear weak to Apocalypse? Now I cannot decide if it is shame on others for appearing to want to falsely lynch me two games in a row for the same reason or if it's shame on me for not varying my game. I think I'll have to go with shame on me. |

The more I think about it the more amazed I am that so many of those who are supposedly super would like to play not to lose rather than play to win. I play to win. I make no excuses about it. It is this sort of attitude which will save us from the menace we face not your pansy "let's just wait for stuff to happen to us" approach. I am all for discussion and logic and will continue to use both. But let us not pretend that our weaknesses are virtues. Oh no. Weaknesses are weaknesses. Period.

hoops, in light of CR's membership in a team, could he cede the power of determining the target of his attack to his team if he won't be present?
i doubt it, but i figure it's better than him putting in a random attack tonight which can't be withdrawn. otherwise he's stuck with no attack. |

Conditional orders are a really slippery slope in a game that is time-sensitive like this one is. The other worry is that even if I limit it to a basic attack it still essentially doubles the power of one player's (on his team) attack because he will be acting for two people when that might not be the outcome if they are there to see it. I'm willing to take an order via e-mail, as well as provide a synopsis of events, if that helps someone without access at work. PM me for details. But I can't have the attack placed in the fashion that you are suggesting. |

We can't cry over spilled milk (even if it is red and gold). I say we need to take out another big gun like Hulk. I'm guessing most have used at least a decent part of their energy today and won't be able fight off a decent attack. One of us is going to die tonight and I hope you realize my value and give me some defense before it's too late.

Note - there is a rule update related to health. I will append this to the rules post as well.
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. |

So far, we seem to be long (rather than short) on damage. In particular consideration of the primary target of the day, I don't think that should be a surprise; Apocalypse and his Horsemen will have been happy enough to let the teams unleash their full brunt against Iron Man.

Night 1 results
There is concern in the air, as Apocalypse's forces seized the upper-hand on Day 1. As the heroes scatter for the evening, no clear consensus emerges for the next move.
A BOOM! wakes all from their slumber. The heroes converge on the site from which the sound originated to find a shattered golden horse on the ground, but no bodies. Clearly there was a struggle, but everyone is present and accounted for to start the day. Day 2 has begun. |
