Now, how do I get you guys to kill each other fast enough for this game to end in two weeks? (Insert sinister laugh here)

Am I nailed yet? Any of the three choices you gave me are fine.

So...many...jokes...

hoopsguy · 10-03-2008, 12:05 PM

Yep, I honestly wasn't sure how to respond to that message.

Passacaglia · 10-03-2008, 04:25 PM

Crim · 10-03-2008, 06:36 PM

Pass, if I'm one of the choices, you'll need to buy me dinner first.

hoopsguy · 10-04-2008, 10:47 AM

OK, sign-ups are closed. I'll be working on final game balance stuff and creating all of the remaining alternate characters. I'm anticipating sending out PMs Sunday afternoon/evening. Feel free to begin posting when you get your PM - just remember to use your alternate ID.

For those of you who want to avoid the nuisance of switching between your "real" name and "game" name I would suggest having two different browsers open (IE and Firefox, for example) with credentials saved. Just don't screw up and cross-post

There is no in-game penalty, but we did tell Skydog that the "game" accounts would not be used in other sections of the board.

Is this just a subtle way of reminding Skydog not to post under his normal name in the game. We all know he secretly wants to play.

Anyway, 31 people? I predict that there's going to be like 30 pages to read when I log in on Monday morning.

hoopsguy · 10-04-2008, 02:42 PM

For the sake of us all, I hope there are not 30 pages on Monday morning. At least not 30 pages if you are listing 50 posts/page.

The Jackal · 10-04-2008, 03:10 PM

That would be messed up. Good thing I'm not working right now.

Crim · 10-05-2008, 10:31 AM

By the glow of my green power-ring, I hereby check in...

OhshitI'musingthewrongaccount!

At this pace there won't be 4 pages. But of course once game is on who knows.

Which game was it a couple months back where there was something like 10 pages (more?) already in before the game even started?

EagleFan · 10-05-2008, 11:10 AM

dola: Dammit, how am I going to vote PurdueBrad on day one now? Uh, if I am even in this game.

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 12:28 PM

Five more characters left to create. Then I get to start sending out the PMs, most likely late afternoon, early evening.

Learned something interesting along the way - Yahoo stops you from creating more than ten new accounts in a 24 hour period. So some of the accounts will be tied to MS "Live" accounts instead of Yahoo.

This potentially will be of interest to a few people once the game is underway ...

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 12:46 PM

Yeesh - MS Live allows even fewer accounts. This is getting annoying ... wish I had kept with my idea of creating 5 per day earlier in week instead of doing all this grunt work now. Onto gmail accounts.

Mimic · 10-05-2008, 08:29 PM

Mimic checking in.

claphamsa · 10-05-2008, 08:30 PM

ooohh, I hope i get a pm soon! yay~

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 08:43 PM

The power of Apocalypse has grown over the past five years. The defeate of "The Twelve" was the last significant heroic resistance effort in North America. New York City was reduced to a smoldering ruin when the remaining heroes crashed the Celestial ship in a last ditch effort to stem the tide. However, it was for naught as Apocalypse and his minions escaped unscathed.

The battle is now focused on the other side of the world, where consolidated European and Asian forces have succeeded in thwarting Apocalypse's advances. Still, defeat seems just a matter of time as Apocalypse controls the vast majority of super-powered humans and an arsenal of high-tech weaponry that has no peer in all of the world.
Still, there are those who would oppose the rule of your sovereign. Most of the rabble are quickly identified and either integrated or exterminated. But this morning there is a more serious plot afoot.

A holograph of Mr. Sinister, the chief scientist for Apocalypse, greets each of you. Before him is the nearly unrecognizable body of Moon Knight, the former First Prelate - second only to Lord Apocalypse! "It seems we have traitors in our midst. It is the will of Apocalypse that this threat is contained using whatever force you deem necessary. Those who serve will be rewarded. As for the rest of you ... the future is not as promising."

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 08:44 PM

Note - anyone having problems signing into their new accounts should contact me and/or Tyrith. I'll also include our AIM information in Post #1 for those who want to use that channel.

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 08:58 PM

The presence of an eighty foot giant hovering over the planet, tinkering with an even larger machine, is disconcerting. Some among you recognize Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds. Those people know that the current rebellion is the least of your worries.

Firebird · 10-05-2008, 09:13 PM

Firebird is here.

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 09:17 PM

For what it is worth, the Lord of Latveria (Dr. Doom) is not expected to make an appearance on Day 1 until mid/late Tuesday.

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 09:25 PM

Note - Post #2 shows the Prelate list.

Mr.Fantastic here! This rule set is quite daunting. Going to try to make sense of it all.

Tyrith · 10-05-2008, 09:59 PM

This is your co-pilot speaking. This will be the color my moderator posts will be in for the game. Feel free to ask me questions via PM or AIM, especially if hoops isn't available. Carry on figuring out how to murder each other.

SilverSamurai · 10-05-2008, 09:59 PM

Greetings, heroes and villain. Silver Samurai checking in. Sayonara for now.

SilverSamurai · 10-05-2008, 10:00 PM

That should be villains, lol. I am pretty sure hoops did not include just one bad guy.

I don't think I'm giving away the farm by confirming that yes, there is more than one bad guy :P

Nightcrawler · 10-05-2008, 10:03 PM

Nightcrawler checking in, you may call me Kurt if you like

hoopsguy · 10-05-2008, 10:05 PM

Yes, one bad guy and Galactus. That about covers it

Barkeep49 · 10-05-2008, 10:05 PM

Greetings all, the hour is late, and I must retire back to my studies of the ancient one...may the light of Agamotto illuminate thy path in these times and the eternal Vishanti guard thee.

Nightcrawler · 10-05-2008, 10:22 PM

I must sleep soon as well, may the Lord watch over those of us who are pure at heart.

HenryPym · 10-05-2008, 10:57 PM

Hail Lord Apocalypse!

I see our Lord has given us quite the puzzle to unravel. Not to mention the additional threat of Galactus. But I see our Lord has wisely gathered many of the brightest minds in his service, myself included of course. No doubt then that we shall find the traitors very soon.

Magneto · 10-05-2008, 11:10 PM

I am here, and commited to the rule of Apocalypse and homo sapiens superior as the natural next step of our evolution.

Jean Grey, we most powerful members of the greater species should join our efforts and form a team. With, of course, the support of the first among us, Apocalypse.

Hulk · 10-05-2008, 11:23 PM

HULK HERE TO SMASH EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vision · 10-05-2008, 11:59 PM

It is clear that we must take action on two fronts, my friends. I am here to assist, and to lead, and to prevail.

Hulk · 10-06-2008, 12:17 AM

HULK CONFUSED!!! EVIL IS GOOD?????

JUST CRUSH!!!!!

Cable · 10-06-2008, 12:19 AM

Cable checking in.

It appears we have quite the challenge in front of us. The Power of Apocolypse shall lead us to victory!

Eric...my good friend...so nice to see you again. And Jean, my greatest student.

And to the rest of you - some I know personally and some just by reputation...the reports of my demise were greatly exaggerated, as some of you might have suspected.

We stand now at the cusp of a critical moment in the history of our world. Humans and mutants alike, we face a threat unlike any we have ever faced before. And we must defeat this threat. There is no alternative.

Chief Rum · 10-06-2008, 01:46 AM

Hey, I remember the last one of these. It was a blast. Looking forward to reading along. Good luck, everyone!

Firebird · 10-06-2008, 01:47 AM

Firebird will be out mostof the day on Thursday and Friday, just to let you know.

Jewel · 10-06-2008, 01:53 AM

Jewel checking in. Only the threat we are under right now could coax me out of retirement.

NickFury · 10-06-2008, 02:16 AM

Nick Fury here. I'm working my many sources inside the human resistance to convince them once and for all to succumb to the mighty Apocalypse as there is no other choice for survival. I leave for an undercover mission in the European resistance in the morning. As the former leader of S.H.I.E.L.D and the mediator between mutants and humans I am trusted by both sides. I will use this to our advantage to finalize this new world order that will bring peace to our world. Hail Apocalypse
.
(out of character post about availability)
I have a specific schedule during the week. On Mon/Wed/Fri I leave around 10:30am eastern and get home around 6pm eastern. On Tue/Thu I leave around 10:30 am eastern and don't get home until around 1am eastern. I do have a 45 minute window to get up to date and make votes at about 6pm eastern on those two days and more time for reading in the morning/evening. Unfortunately my work blocks this site, so I can only get access outside the times mentioned here.

I will role play reasons for my schedule during the game. Those are meant to add to fun, but the real reason for absences is my schedule.
