WW LXXXIII Marvel Universe - Game Over! Rebel victory!

[Vision]

Folks, earlier today (Thursday) my wife and I found out about a very sudden and wholly unexpected death in her immediate family. I was able to fire off a very sparse and uninformative PM to hoops and Tyrith, but had no time to explain it here.

I do expect to have some time to participate with the game, it just will be touch and go for a few days perhaps. I take seriously the investment that the community puts into games like this which I enjoy so much, so I will do my best to live up to my own commitment to you.

Just understand (and, really, I know that you do) that this game must take a backseat for a while; my wife and family are hurting and need me more than you.

So, carry on, and I'll be in to contribute as best as I can.

Thanks in advance, because I know how FOFC pulls together in the bad times.

Don't worry, I've been looking for an excuse to blow up something from the mod chair, I've got your back.

[ooc]Ouch! Should always read to the end of the thread before posting. Incredibly bad timing on my part. You shouldn't worry about a game when something like this happens. Take all the time you need.

"Something is amiss with Nightcrawler" says Firebird, and the rout is on. Nearly half of the heroes decide that this is all the evidence they require to unearth a traitor. After a few protestations of innocence, Nightcrawler begins to teleport rapidly, avoiding attacks from Firebird, Quicksilver, and GhostRider. However, he is eventually felled by the punch from the rubbery Mr. Fantastic. He gasps, spits up blood, and utters his final words.

"Sorry ... (cough) ... (indecipherable) -king"

The other monumentous event is the eruption of the being now known as the SuperSkrull in front of Kang the Conqueror. The torrent of white-hot flame immediately melts through his defenses and leaves the future warlord howling in agony. Eventually the flames die down, leaving him very badly burned ... in a great deal of pain ... but still alive.

Scarlet Witch draws the ire of Doom, SilverSurfer, and Beast near the end of the day. Her hex defenses are enough to stave off Doom, but the Surfer and Beast lay into her and knock her unconscious. Mimic and Magneto intercede on her behalf, asking that she be spared to help save the world in the coming days. It is clear that she is not trusted, but she lives into the night.

MY guess was perhaps the traitors were attempting to convert Nightcrawler to their side? Or some new faction.

Doom wonders also if there are clues in the means of night kills. I believe Strange was liquefied, and Apocalypse was killed in an explosion? Could this mean anything or just be flavor text?

Is it possible he is referring to the Shadow King? It is from the age of apocalypse. The Shadow King telepathically probed peoples minds and was known to possess the minds of people. One thing about the Shadow King, he jumped from person to person.

In the storyline, Nightcrawler actually came up with the plan to stop the Shadow King.

This is my current reading. I regret that I do not have time to thoroughly check through every claim on the matter. I shall endeavour to do so later.

[EmmaFrost]

I fear that the task of compiling this list is beyond even my not-inconsiderate intellect, especially when the likes of team membership must be considered. I can see several faults in the above list already. Things would be made easier if everyone stated their base attack and how much damage they attempted to deal out every day. I am aware that I have probably missed out people who have already stated how they attacked or how much damage they normally inflict but you'll forgive me for not wanting to search through again. I shall attempt to keep this list updated.

1. Nightcrawler - Base 1, presumed attack at base day one and two
2. Emma Frost - Base 2, attacked at base every day.
3. Ghost Rider -
4. Hulk - Base 4,
5. Apocalypse - Base 2, presumed attack at base day one and two
6. Silver Surfer - Base 2,
7. Colossus - Base 2, attacked for 6 day one, Base attack day 3
8. Jean Grey - Base 1
9. Professor X - Base 1
10. Mr. Fantastic - Base 1
11. Iron Fist
12. Mimic - Base 1
13. Henry Pym - Base 2
14. Vision - Base 1, attacked at base every day
15. Kang the Conqueror - Base 2
16. Beast - Base 1
17. Dr. Doom -
18. Cable -
19. Firebird -
21. Quicksilver - Base 2
22. Aardwolf - Base 1, attacked at base every day
23. Nick Fury - Base 1
25. Spider Man - Base 1, attacked at base day 1
26. Magneto - Base 1
27. Punisher - Base 1, attacked at 3 day one,
28. SuperSkrull (aka Human Torch) - Base 1, presumed attack at base day one and two
30. Scarlet Witch - Base 1
31. Silver Samurai - Base 1

You should not feel that you have to reply to my directives just because I am the second prelate.

Oh, silly me. That came out wrong. You should feel that you have to reply to my directives because I am the second prelate. Unless you are Dr Doom or Mr Fantastic, of course.

Thank you, in advance, for your co-operation.

[EmmaFrost]

On to the attacks on Spider-Man. It is fair to say that if you removed the attack by Kang and left in the attack by Mimic that his day three assailants currently read as a who's who of my current major suspects. I would be astounded if at least one of his assailants didn't prove themselves to be treachorous. To my mind this goes a long way towards proving Parker's loyalty. We all might question his devotion to that loyalty but I do not believe non-participation is as big a crime as treachery.

I also concur with Mr Fantastic's assessment that the attacks on Spiderman are suggestive of traitors attempting to achieve two loyalist kills on one day. I would request that people desist from their persecution of Spiderman and turn their attention to other, more suitable, targets.

I also find it noteworthy that, if we do assume Spiderman's loyalty, Ironfist has consistently attacked known loyalist every day. I would be interested in hearing Ironfist's response to the revelation that there was already an anti-herald faction in our midsts. Is it supposition that there are two independent factions in our ranks arrayed against Galactus?

EmmaFrost evaded the creatures and transforms into a diamond warrior, lashing out at the head of the cosmic being. The Beast attempts to duplicate his "Sentinel" attack, but it is considerably less success. The rest of the team - SilverSurfer, Quicksilver, IronFist, and HenryPym - never even reach the giant. After a couple of minutes of futility, the attackers are teleported back to earth.

I have a very strong feeling that the results shown are based on the amount of energy expended by the participants, or possibly on whether the person has already attacked Galactus. I invested a large quantity of energy into the attack, thus I succeded in penetrating through to the Destroyer of Worlds. Perhaps others would be willing to reveal how much effort they placed into the assault.

Good points. I agree with Richards as far as the sample size. I hadn't examined the night kills. I don't think that they're flavor text at all.

It could be the Shadow King, but I"m not sure if that's just coincidence with Nightcrawler. Could it have been that the player that is the Shadow King had to control Nightcrawler? Or maybe the Shadow King read the history and knew Nightcrawler was his weakness?

The problem with looking at the people (myself included) who committed attacks on Spidey are below:

Not attacked: Nightcrawler, SilverSurfer, Colossus, Spider-Man, Punisher

The ones who did were (in order): Prof X, Mimic, IronFist, Magneto, Kang.

1. Prof X, Magneto and I all used base attacks. Hardly something that would kill the wall crawler.
2. In the sliding scale of innocence, I'd look at the ones who attacked later than earlier.

I really don't see how you could accuse Prof X of trying to kill Spidey when he did a base attack and he was the first attack.

I find it funny that people jumped all over me for stating that Magneto was the most cleared of us at the time (again, I did not say he was cleared), yet now we have assumptions that Spidey is cleared.

Based on the coloring in the first (maybe second?) post of the thread of names, there are definitely more than two independent factions in our ranks arrayed against Galactus. There are the Earthbound ones and then there was the Skrull. Whether there were others on the Torch's team or not, we don't know. At this point I believe we have at least:

1. Loyalists
2. Rebels/Traitors
3. Herald (Galactus must eat the planet)

4. Perhaps the Shadow King?

[EmmaFrost]

I think there is a difference between clearing someone baed on an act of self-preservation and the evidence that someone finds themselves under attack from, on day three, some of the most people under suspicion at the moment.

Since you mention Magneto I remember Jean Grey mentioned that he should be regarded as cleared during private team talks. A co-incidence?

With regards to Ironfist consultation of my notes do indicate that I have been overly harsh on him. He did not claim that his mission was to stop Galactus, just that his powers of mediation allowed him to slow the Planet Eaters' progress. He did mention that there was another faction opposed to him. Does he believe that this faction were the Skrulls or the herald (at last count that makes - Loyalists, Rebels, Skrull, Herald, Ironfist)

[Beast]

I remain distressed at the situation with the Scarlet Witch. She asserts that she is more effective when large amounts of energy are expended, which is why she did not take action to assist the Galactus Mission of yesterday.

What is missing from this argument is any effort on her part to determine how much energy was being put forth my the mission participants.

How did she know that there would not be sufficient energy to trigger her affect on the mission? I know that I expended 3 points, and was able to reach my objective. How did the Witch know that Pym, Surfer, Quick and whoever the 4th failure was were not investing a significant amount of their power.

I find it logical at this point to conclude that one of those who did not even reach Galactus is a traitor, and is also in colusion with the Scarlet Witch.

Magneto, I encourage you to contemplate this with your mind, instead of with your emotions. Your continued attempts to alter the fate of your daughter are, I believe, misplaced. Should that be proven, it will relflect on you in two possible manners. First, that you were in collusion with her, or second, that you have your own victory condition that involves having your entire family alive at the end of the game. Either way, you are working towards your own interests, and not those of our Lord Doom.

Standard Attack Scarlet Witch

[hoopsguy]

Good morning, all. This moderator has overslept, but will now begin processing results. I'm hoping to finish them before dropping the kid off.

Be ready for another exciting day to close out the week.

I'm assuming weekend play is out with this many people still in the mix. However, I have thought about putting out a Mission over the weekend for those who are able to participate. If people have thoughts, for or against, let us know.

For the little it is worth Charles is probably the one I suspect the least. However I am willing to wager that he has accumulated a large quantity of power during his 3 days of inaction. I await to see how he deploys this power with interest.

[Scarlet Witch]

Beast, you are far too hasty. Let today unfold before making up your mind -- I suspect you will realize your mistake before today is over.

Also note that I never claimed to know that there would not be sufficient energy. I made a decision based on the number of "Heroes" who went on the mission.

It would seem my list is, once again, incorrect. QuickSilver was on the Galactus mission yesterday. Although I barely noticed his presence. Anyone else should feel free to correct me. I know that Mr Richards invented his null-energy device yesterday, which was probably his special action - but we have no independent evidence that this is the case.

Your words say the right thing, but at the wrong time. Before the deadline is the time to explain that you do not have the energy to expend.

While I am debunking lies about me, I'll go back to this. I never at any time said that I do not have the energy to expend -- I said that I was saving energy. Why? Because I didn't think it was right to waste it on what I deemed would be a failed mission, even with my help. Not to mention, it has been confirmed by Mimic, who I know everyone has tons of trust in, that we are working together on a scheme to destroy Galactus. This scheme requires me to save energy, rather than pissing it away on a mission to ding him up a little.

For once, it is my turn to apologize. This accusation of Firebird was short-sighted. Thinking about it more, I fail to see why she would telepathically control Nightcrawler, only to have him killed.

Sorry for your loss.

Ghost Rider, Ironfist and Cable - your basic attack and how much damage you dealt each day please.

[Scarlet Witch]

Sorry, Emma, I meant to give you mine -- you are correct, 1 point, which is all I've dealt any day. I do not feel the need to attack more than is necessary, as some of my adversaries have decided.

I placed one point. Sorry, but I was at negative energy after day 1. I put in what I could. I am happy to spend a greater amount today on whatever mission is needed. If I am going to use any decent abilities, I need a little energy too.

My standard attack is only 1 and I have only dealt 1 each day.

Emma, my apologies as I apparently missed your first request but saw your two today. On a standard attack I do 3 points of damage. I have not done anything other than a standard attack on anyone other than Galactus and his planet Destroyer guy. In other words, all of my votes have been for my base attack.

[Scarlet Witch]

Also, I count 20 points for Nightcrawler. Did someone add a point to get him to 21?

[IronFist]

Originally Posted by EmmaFrost

My standard is 2 points, for every standard attack(day 2 and 3) I have only used one energy point, doing 2 points of damage (my minimum).

[hoopsguy]

Note - PMs are still going out, and likely will be for a while yet.

Nightfall brings with it a growing sense of uncertainty. Three days into your efforts to quash the rebellion, and you have not yet turned up one rebel. If they had not routed you on the first day in Tunisia it would be hard to believe that the Rebellion even exists.

Except, of course, for the growing body count. On this night, it is Professor X who joins the ranks of the brutally butchered. It appears that his head was forced to separate from the rest of his body. Some might find irony in this. Others feel a sense of loss, even in this dog-eat-dog world. But you will all miss the presence of his great mind in the coming days.

Did this order stand the whole night? Sorry, I just don't have time to go all the way back through. If so, was this an attack on Magneto and X rolled in the way or an attack on X? I'm guessing Magneto could possibly have an answer to that.

Yet another loss for the loyalists. I forget who mentioned it, but perhaps we should look at the way the night kills were done.

Dr. Strange-liquidfied
Apocalypse-blown up
Professor X-decapitated

Probably Strange and X were the only two we can for sure identify with the rebels, but all three were very different.

Not to mention, it has been confirmed by Mimic, who I know everyone has tons of trust in, that we are working together on a scheme to destroy Galactus. This scheme requires me to save energy, rather than pissing it away on a mission to ding him up a little.

I know a lot of people don't trust me and I can see why, but hopefully you'll save your attacks against the witch for at least another cycle.

Be ready for another exciting day to close out the week.

I'm assuming weekend play is out with this many people still in the mix. However, I have thought about putting out a Mission over the weekend for those who are able to participate. If people have thoughts, for or against, let us know.

Never fear, I shall invent something called an alarm clock for you!

As for weekend play, I have the ability to step out of my lab from time to time during the weekend to see what is going to happen, but if others do not have the same availability I am uncertain to what perception might be falsely made about those who participate or don't participate over the weekend that incorrectly shapes our thoughts due to a simple case of availability.

[Mimic]

I must be going and will be gone for most of the morning. As I leave, I'd like to throw the question to Doom: why do you trust me?

I have some suspicions on why Doom would want me to defeat Galactus and I believe that when he called off the dogs off the witch that was part of it. The Scarlet Witch and I are under suspicion, but our leader believes in us?

I wonder why.

Never mind, I found the time. I think the order stood so maybe Magneto witnessed something.

On the weekend front, I can play some too.

Having observed the death of Kurt first hand I can confirm that he was possessed until just before the time of death. He died released from the power that sought to control him. He was a changed man from the person we had seen over the last three days.

Why would someone attack Magneto if they knew he was guarded. Unless it was a chance that the ordering Professor X to guard him was faked which seems more unlikely. Seems on the probability scale, the possibility that professorX was attacked is greater than Magneto was attacked hoping that professorX's guard order was faked.

[GhostRider]

I was thinking that somebody may have underestimated his ability to guard and tried to take out both. I do see what you're saying though and that seems more likely I guess.

My morning appointment hasn't shown so it looks like I'll get to be around some.

The rebels knew that Erik was protected, there would be no reason for them to target him and "accidentally" kill Charles. I think there can be little doubt that Charles was the intended target of this act. As to why - he is a telepath who, I am sure, the rebels had ascertained had a large stockpile of energy to call upon. I am a little surprised, however, that the rebels made no attempt to connect him with the possession of Nightcrawler, as he had not commited any known public actions on the first two days.

[DrDoom]

Doom must refresh himself. I will be back shortly to consider the affairs of the day.

Mr Fantastic. Have you given any thought to my offer to form a team. We can do that either by you joining the Brotherhood of Mutants or by forming a seperate team. I think you joining the Brotherhood would be beneficial as I would still be able to act beneficially with the elements in my team I can trust. However I do fear energy drain or mission sabotage by possible treacherous members on my team should they decide that they are close to being brought to their timely deaths.

[EmmaFrost]

Does anyone have anything approaching an accurate record of the teams currently in existance? I have completely lost track of who belongs to my own team, let alone any other. But fear that there are one or two rebel elements concealed in our numbers.

Feel free to colour code it for my entertainment. I enjoy colour coding. It is pleasing to my eyes.

I still have some present matters that I need to finish before I consider in full my actions for today (ooc: read, I am still waiting for my morning pm that I would like to look at before I go further). I am not a huge fan of all of the team hopping that has gone on, and because of team bonuses I feel we should be trying to make more use of during missions by trying to group more team members on a similar mission if/when possible for more bonus. Nothing is beyond consideration however, but does anyone have a current list of everyone on each team? I feel ok about a few people on my current team (Vision and SilverSurfer and perhaps others that I am not remembering are on my team currently) and I don't know if I would want to abandon them just yet.
