(Cannonball)

I admitted I did one damage to both Iron Man and Hawkeye. I said I would not reveal how much I healed from a question from someone, Warpath I believe. My attack cannot prevent someone from healing.

One energy away means you would have to wait until tomorrow to do this, as you cant use the energy you will gain at the end of the night, no? If so, your asking us not to kill you today or tomorrow, which i might be ok with but others wont.

My dear MoonKnight, I know I am part of The 12 because every night I can choose to spend energy casting about to find out the identity of a member of The 12. To find out who we need to protect. Happens that last night I cast around and found out that I am along with Captain America.

(ooc) seems kinda weird in character but its true. I find out 1 identity at random...last night the die apparently chose me

back to work now. home in 6 or so.

One good reason is to figure out which side the people who actively had been trying to save you are on. No one came to Mystique's aid the same way or Ironman's aid the same way. The attacks were definitly maneuvered for your preservation yesterday and your story today screams out some need for preservation.

It just smells fishy to me, and if I'm wrong when you die I don't care if people come after me.

Sinister came to visit me last night as I was projecting an illusion of myself. He spoke of war making strange bedfellows and tentacles arose from the floor to encase the illusion of me as he approached with a drawn needle. At that point he realized it was an illusion and said that I was a fool and we could have done great things together (paraphrase). He stormed out, quite alive.

(ooc) apparently I drastically misread that in my haste to post and get back to work in like 4 minutes. if I had to guess now I would say that sinister was our seer and that that was his way of getting information (maybe night 1 target can verify?). So Sinister came to scan me, not kill me. Sorry I saw tentacles holding me and a needle and assumed "coming to kill me" and backed out and posted quickly. I just wasn't expecting the seer to be so...violent.

(/ooc)

What doesn't make sense to me is that if Sinister did have seer abilities, why was he scanning you last night? He had already come out and vouched for you.

There is an insane amount of stuff to track in this game. I would encourage people to ask questions if there appears to be an issue with health/energy/whatever.

Most of the questions have revolved around the use of passive powers - they run every day, whether you use them or not. But in the case of Anxiety's I clearly read one thing on my spreadsheet and typed another.

I will neither confirm nor deny anything related to the rest of his post.

I'll wait to discuss my attack further with my team before I launch one. I would like to know if Magneto and Cannonball will continue to go after Hawkeye with me. I for one am not willing to wait 3 days (today, tommorrow for him to get the point and the next day to find the results) to find out more information about him and the people who maneuvered things so he wouldn't die yesterday. By that point, Apocolypse could have won.

I would like to revenge Mystique's death, would like to find out where others stand and see who is still willing to try to defend Hawkeye today. Something smells rotten, and I don't think its the fish here.

I asked earlier, still asking - do you have any other reason to vote for me other than "It would reveal my side, and you could sue that info."

Not sure what else you want that I havent already given. I stated my opinion of your day 1 activity, your response was that you didnt use a special attack (even though the moderator notes stated you did), and that your arrows are special depending on the situation. Instead of allowing us to see if you have a normal attack the next day, you chose to not attack at all.

I brought up my concerns about you and a few others yesterday. Most of the others met my concerns with at least reasonable responses. Your response was to attack back and claim I was only going after you because of your connection issues. Despite having time to attack back, you chose not to take the time to attack however.

I then later gave my grading scale on my thoughts of people, not even based around you. I came out and said that I didn't view the points as meaning guilt or not, and in fact didn't even bring up the person tied with you in points on my scale as I felt ok with him. Yet you said once again I was attacking you because of not being online or having connection problems.

I stated several times that some individuals had gone out of their way to ensure someone other than you would be the main attack target yesterday, leaving us with a cloud of uncertainty about you and these others. It was highly odd that the attack was moved off of you to a member of the 12. I feel it would be very good to tie up loose ends and figure out where you and those people stand. If we do not do that today, then we will possibly lose the opportunity.

Your story seems very odd that you have this power that could have cleared you as good and instead of using it you chose to go out of your way to kill Ironman on day 1 (one of the 12.) I know if I had such a power, I would have focused on using it to clear me early on as something so special would obviously take priority over trying to make sure someone I don't know is good or not met their doom.

I feel really good about the possibilty of you being bad, and if by some chance you aren't, I highly doubt you are one of the 12 due to the way Mystique was killed and not you. I doubt you can convince me any longer, but I sure hope you don't cloud the mind of those who would like to see Apocolypse defeated today.

we have our first confirmed member of the side of evil. I call upon all mutants and heroes who are good to attack Mr. Sinister!

I shall do so on my half hour break in a couple hours. must work again now.

do not believe any lies he tells. note that he came out as trustung me completely BEFORE any night actions and thus the only way he could have known I was a member of the 12 (which I am I found out) is by being evil.

too bad you came after me sinister!


(OOC)This is what I get for heading to a movie after church (OOC)

(Mandarin)

This is confusing. didn't he support you yesterday Professor? I thought he was the first to really support you. If Sinister is evil, it looks as if we have a good candidate for day.

The screams of Nathaniel Essex reverberate through the quarters. They come from just outside the quarters of Professor Xavier. Although the heroes assemble on the scene quickly, they are not in time to discover the identity of the attacker. You get only a glimpse of an armored figure, holding a glowing blade and Sinister's head, who is teleported away instantly upon your arrival.

Day 3 has begun.

wow. First Sinister is evil, then killed by the horseman. I need to mull this over. hopefully by the time I catch up, I will be less confused.

Sinister wouldn't have been there to perform some form of good guy assasination attempt of someone he trusted.

We don't know:
Why Professor saw that He was attacked by sinister.

-------------------------

I would assume if Professor had been to kill sinister, the death would have occured at Sinister's home. With the death occuring outside of the professor's home, it seems to imply to me that Sinister set up the visit with the Professor.

I don't know what the Professor claimed to have seen, but this seems like a huge distraction tactic to me. Sinister felt we would be best served to eliminate Hawkeye today, and I agree with that approach. I feel someone wanted to create some form of huge diversion from that so Hawkeye could fade into the shadows and heal himself.

(Mandarin)

We also don't know if Sinister did not use those tentacles to attack Prof. X's image, then who did.

it took a few people asking about this before I went back and reread it. I am looking forward to finding out this answer as well.

This is what I was looking for thanks. Now I can see it all in front of me and respond in order:

1). You can't honestly punish me for not attacking yesterday because I didn't attack. One of your claims is that since I didn't attack yesterday, I can't prove that I have a bunch of different attacks. However, I have claimed I have a bunch of different attacks for a while. As proof:

Also, you would expect some characters to have a diversity array of attacks, like Mandarin with his ten power rings or me with my qiuver of various arrows. Each of my special arrows use the same number of energy, so I can bascially choose the best fit for my needs. It's the same amount of energy I gain in a day, so I lose nothing in using it.

2. I have never claimed that you specially targeted me because I was out for a period yesterday, only that I thought some may have pushed my way.

3. You claim that unlike others, I just attacked you back yesterday. However, I never directly responded to anything you said, I didn;t have enough time. The only responde I made to anybody was in post 1086 when I responded to LSG's post. I never attacked you, never addressed you personally, and never respodned to a signle post of yours.

4. If I were a bad guy, with a large target on my back, standard bad guy strategy is to back away, not draw attention to yoruself by linking with a person who is about to die. If you defend a person about to die who is a bad guy, you are instantly suspected as well, and often taken down quickly. It is earlier to hide in a crowd of 18-20 than in a crowd of 1-3. Your claim that some people may have defended me flies in the face of this wisdom. That leaves you with two possibilities. Either I;m a bad guy and other baddies are keeping me alive which seriously endangers them, or I'm a good guy. Occam's Razor suggests the latter.

5. If others responded to your early thoughts with valid points, and you moved elsewhere, then I should be granted the same opportunity here. Instead of continuing to trade "I'm right, you're wrong barbs," I initiated a conversation where we could lay it all out on the table and deal with it constructively.

6. I think you misunderstand my power to craft an arrow. I can only do it at night - no help on Day One. I don't know what I can and cannot do until a higher authority tells me so, that's creates uncertainty, and it takes a ton of energy, more than I began with. I got my energy gain for yesterday with no attack, and I'm still short by a bit. It's a lot of eggs in one basket for the ability. That's why I wasn't worried about it early, although I did submit some early ideas for arrows including a sonic arrow and an adamantium arrow. With this clarification about hte ability (and to be fair, reiteration of stuff I said previously which you may have understood), I hope this helps.

The previous post, fyi:

I propose, that if you do not kill me today, I will try to craft an arrow tonight, pending approval of the GM, that will do something like reveal that I am on the side of light, or maybe a one time seer action, or whatnot. It would be pending GM apporval, but I'd be willing to spend all of my energy to do it if it'll clear me and keep me in a fun game!

You'll note that the important points - how much energy it takes, at night, and approval from a higher authority are all there. This is very in line with what I, Hawkeye, have done all my archer-lovin' life, I've crafted all of my arrows.

7. Attacking Mystique does not defend me. Multiple people can die, and attacking a vulnerable target and dealing more damage to her did not save me. Two people can die in a day.

Hope this helps!!!


-Your Arrow Makin' Hawkeye


P.S. - Besides, if my Deus Ex Arrow plan works and is approved, wouldn;t that give you all of the info you want anyway, but without a good guy dying and you and others wastign a day attacking me? Isn't that int eh best interest of everybody.

Sinister came to visit me last night as I was projecting an illusion of myself. He spoke of war making strange bedfellows and tentacles arose from the floor to encase the illusion of me as he approached with a drawn needle. At that point he realized it was an illusion and said that I was a fool and we could have done great things together (paraphrase). He stormed out, quite alive.

(ooc) apparently I drastically misread that in my haste to post and get back to work in like 4 minutes. if I had to guess now I would say that sinister was our seer and that that was his way of getting information (maybe night 1 target can verify?). So Sinister came to scan me, not kill me. Sorry I saw tentacles holding me and a needle and assumed "coming to kill me" and backed out and posted quickly. I just wasn't expecting the seer to be so...violent.

(/ooc)

Well that explains part of it but not knowing he was/is of the 12

Hawkeye, it seems that I am the only one willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. I am afraid that Warpath along with others will attack you today not only because of your low health, but because they feel there is nobody else worthy of death right now.

Oh, forgot, you also claim that I once claimed that my Acid Arrow was not a special attack, and then changed my story. Actually, that's not true. Here is my first post about my attack:

I was also the first to jump in and help out everybody with damage and whatnot. I admit that it's special then. Later, I address the arrow issue a second time:

Here's a question I have on a completed unrelated matter. Spidey, you claimed numerous times early that you thought I was a bad guy, yet never attacked me or anybody else. Maybe you explianed it and I missed it in my speed reading through previous posts, but why?

1). You can't honestly punish me for not attacking yesterday because I didn't attack. One of your claims is that since I didn't attack yesterday, I can't prove that I have a bunch of different attacks. However, I have claimed I have a bunch of different attacks for a while. As proof:

Post 183, by me

Also, you would expect some characters to have a diversity array of attacks, like Mandarin with his ten power rings or me with my qiuver of various arrows. Each of my special arrows use the same number of energy, so I can bascially choose the best fit for my needs. It's the same amount of energy I gain in a day, so I lose nothing in using it.

2. I have never claimed that you specially targeted me because I was out for a period yesterday, only that I thought some may have pushed my way.

Post 1110 by myself

3. You claim that unlike others, I just attacked you back yesterday. However, I never directly responded to anything you said, I didn;t have enough time. The only responde I made to anybody was in post 1086 when I responded to LSG's post. I never attacked you, never addressed you personally, and never respodned to a signle post of yours.

4. If I were a bad guy, with a large target on my back, standard bad guy strategy is to back away, not draw attention to yoruself by linking with a person who is about to die. If you defend a person about to die who is a bad guy, you are instantly suspected as well, and often taken down quickly. It is earlier to hide in a crowd of 18-20 than in a crowd of 1-3. Your claim that some people may have defended me flies in the face of this wisdom. That leaves you with two possibilities. Either I;m a bad guy and other baddies are keeping me alive which seriously endangers them, or I'm a good guy. Occam's Razor suggests the latter.

5. If others responded to your early thoughts with valid points, and you moved elsewhere, then I should be granted the same opportunity here. Instead of continuing to trade "I'm right, you're wrong barbs," I initiated a conversation where we could lay it all out on the table and deal with it constructively.

6. I think you misunderstand my power to craft an arrow. I can only do it at night - no help on Day One. I don't know what I can and cannot do until a higher authority tells me so, that's creates uncertainty, and it takes a ton of energy, more than I began with. I got my energy gain for yesterday with no attack, and I'm still short by a bit. It's a lot of eggs in one basket for the ability. That's why I wasn't worried about it early, although I did submit some early ideas for arrows including a sonic arrow and an adamantium arrow. With this clarification about hte ability (and to be fair, reiteration of stuff I said previously which you may have understood), I hope this helps.

The previous post, fyi:



You'll note that the important points - how much energy it takes, at night, and approval from a higher authority are all there. This is very in line with what I, Hawkeye, have done all my archer-lovin' life, I've crafted all of my arrows.

7. Attacking Mystique does not defend me. Multiple people can die, and attacking a vulnerable target and dealing more damage to her did not save me. Two people can die in a day.



Therefore, attacking a weak person did not save me by replacing her with me. With that, the number of actions that you perceive as being for my benefit really isn't. I think you've built all of your premises on the assumption that I am a baddie, and are seeing everything through those glasses.

Hope this helps!!!


-Your Arrow Makin' Hawkeye


P.S. - Besides, if my Deus Ex Arrow plan works and is approved, wouldn;t that give you all of the info you want anyway, but without a good guy dying and you and others wastign a day attacking me? Isn't that int eh best interest of everybody.


Post #559 (2:47PM) Hawkeye attacks Iron Man (Acid Arrow - special attack)
Post #1266 (5:31PM) Mandarin attacks Hawkeye (ring - fire)

One looks like a special attack, one doesn't. I'll leave it to you to figure out what the difference between the two are.


You can't tell me how bad guys act when cornered, because they all act differently all the time. Some players act entirely differently when a bad guy each time as well. I don't find your reply valid here as we have seen many many times a bad guy save another bad guy due to some power they have thats important to keep around.

Just like so often, right now I don't think I'll be able to target my efforts elsewhere until I have some form of conclusion here. You said you can only create your arrows at night, and you craft all of your arrows, yet you had some special arrows available before the first night. I just don't think I will have the patience to wait tonight for you to get enough points to make another arrow, the next night for you to put in the order, and the following day three days from now to present said arrow to us. In that time, 6-8 of the 12 could easily be targeted and we'll be in end game.

I don't buy your story, I think its a wonderful tale and one that you should be proud of as a bad guy.

-Hawkeye

I'm a really weak character. Realistically, if I'm going to attack, I can only do so once a day, so I need to make sure that it's a good attack. I waited until the end of the day to determine if I was going to attack you or not, but I felt that by then it wouldn't matter. I expected you to die, and therefore decided to hold on to my attack and not spend any energy that day.

True, Wolverine, however it did not leave a corpse either. Or if it did the head wasn't attached.

I think I believe the Professor. Thinking about how things might be setup, in large games often you need to weaken the seer role somehow to make things fair for the bad guys. I wouldn't be suprised to see a reduced seer, or some how a seer type component split among a few people.

I think the Professor might be pretty close to our seer or one of the pieces for us. It seems one of the things to make things easier on evil is they just have to eliminate the 12. So knowing who those are is a key component for us to be able to protect them. I am hoping the professor will be able to provide us more names in the near future. I just worry that as he names them they might become night target attacks, but it at least balances the playing field for us some.

One question for Captain America, you say you trust your teammate Britian. Do you have a factual reason to trust him, or is it just based off of feeling? If you can fully trust him with factual reason to, thats a three person CoT to start with (Professor, Cpt.America, Cpt.Britian) that can hopefully be built upon in upcoming days.

Now, despite the fact that I defended myself better than others did yesterday against your verbalized suspicions, and you moved on, you've become fixated. You are imaging me saying things I didn't, misinterpretating the first post hwere I mentioned my ability to craft a special arrow, and so forth. Step back, reread my posts that I quote and that I posted, and reassess.

I wonder why you heard Sinister's cry, but no one else did (assuming no one else comes forward with a similar story)?

Could it be because last night was a successful attack, whereas the first night's attack on Dr. Doom was thwarted?

You stated that your attacks are all different types of arrows for as the correct situation arises. You compared it to Mandarin and his different rings. The difference is both of Mandarin's rings have been stated as normal attacks (1 electric, 1 fire), your only attack was listed as a special attack. Its clearly not the same thing. When I brought this up yesterday you disputed that you went out of your way to make sure one of the 12 died, but instead said you just have different arrows depending on what the need might be.

I have to assume if its like you say, your attacks would look more like Mandarin's attacks. Once again I find it discouraging that you couldn't prove me wrong yesterday by doing another "normal" attack and having it show up with the special attack flag.

Who knows, maybe I am way wrong, but to me it just feels like you had energy issues and needed to save up some for a night attack or such. You asked where my suspicion came from and I provided it to you.

You lie Spiderman! If you did a regular 1 pt attack, you would still net the same energy as not attacking at all.

Or possibly that the first attack was launched by a horseman, while Apocalypse himself launched the one on Sinister?

Other thoughts:

1) I am good. Both Captain Britain and Professor X have attested to that.

2) Professor X claims I'm one of the 12. If I am, it's without my knowledge. I checked the rules, and the only positive assertion I see there is that Apolcalypse and the Horsemen know the identities of the 12.

Thus, we have a trinary solution set to the Professor Problem in front of us.

A) The Professor is telling the truth, and has the ability to cast about for the identities of the 12, and in so doing, has learned that both he and myself are members of that illustrious cadre. If his truthfulness can be verified, that gives him an important role, but since the opposition knows the identity of the 12, this knowledge won't help us protect them at night, but WILL help us prevent from lynching them during the day.

B) The Professor is good, but is stretching the truth on the matter of knowing that we are members of the 12, possibly to provide buttressing support to somebody he otherwise knows is good, while also casting himself in a "protect me at night" light. This might be a matter of the ends justifying the means, if so.

C) The Professor is evil, and so would know if I am a member of the 12. Were I to be lynched or otherwise killed, and revealed as a member of the 12, he might gain a certain amount of credibility towards his asserted ability to detect their identities, and thus shift the spotlight away from himself for future lynches.

Given the results of the night actions, Professor, is it still your intention to join the Atlantic Alliance?

I assume alan isnt telling us what he was actually up to last night, benevolent or not. There were other people out last night besides Prof. X and Sinister, so id imagine alan is not telling to truth. Whether its for good or evil i dont know...

I wasn't out last night. I was awoken by "Piercing" cries of pain from Sinister.

I quote the piercing just as I'm not sure if it had any significance or was just supposed to mean it was quite loud.
