Impervious is actually the word we're both looking for. And yes I don't really mean impervious, that is true. But the word does express the result of his defenses.

Actually not better color since you can't see the yellow well on the default background.

We soon will have answers to many things I think.

I agree, and I'm not sure it will be good!

I like these colors better.

Cause I think Spiderman will avoid Quicksilver's attack. I, on the other hand, would have to waste energy to do so. And I'm trying to keep my powder dry for the next mission that comes along, in hopes I can make a difference. I'm sick of losing missions.

Oh and my shield doesn't work against all attacks. Including, I believe, the kind Quicksilver has (though to be honest I've not been paying perfect attention to that).

You do realize you contradict yourself here. You are expecting that Spiderman will be able to evade Quicksilver's attack, which means you are assuming it is a physical attack.

But then you state that you don't believe your shield would protect you from Quicksilver's attack, which means you are fearful that it would not be a physical attack.

That's not contradictory. Who is to say my shield works against physical attacks?

[JeanGrey]

And let's not overlook the fact that I think SPIDERMAN is BAD for the village. I was just talking bad stuff about him BEFORE encouraging someone else to attack him. This seems like an important detail not to be lost.

[DrDoom]

Jean also just siad moments before this:

"No joke. I was real pleased with the damage we did [Spiderman] yesterday and then today? Nada. I thought for sure we stood a chance of nailing him today."

So clearly another motive was the hope that if damage did go through it might finish him off.

[DrDoom]

Indeed.

I do not deny that. Though I don't think that it's very likely we'd kill. Much more likely he might just be kept wounded.

Can you clarify for me to make sure I understand what you are selling here?

Do you think Spiderman is bad as in evil, or do you think his lack of participation is bad for the village but he may or may not be bad?

B.

I think he might be bad. I think his lack of participation IS bad. Either way killing Spidey? Not so bad.

[hoopsguy]

Today was a dark, depressing day for the forces of Doom. Not that there are a lot of cheery days while in servitude of this madman, but this one was particularly frustrating as it involved defeat at the hands of the rogue god Khonshu and the rebels.

Colossus bears the brunt of the frustration. The double-talking Russian with the secret agenda must be a rebel, right? Right? For the love of all things Doom, right??? The steel skin of Colossus is able to repel a number of the attacks, but not all of them. GhostRider's magical flame burns into his skin, DrDoom's mystic attack sears, him, and EmmaFrost's early morning attack is still rattling arond his skull. When Hulk brings the pain, it is all over for Piotr Rasputin.

JeanGrey finds herself under fire as well, but is able to shield off the brunt of the attacks with a telekinetic shield. She urges her attackers (Kang, NickFury, and SilverSurfer) to turn their attention elsewhere if they value all of your lives.

SilverSamurai buries his blade into Aardwolf, who bleeds profusely but is still standing.

A final review of the life and times of Colossus indicate that he was, sadly, another Apocalypse/Doom "loyalist". Not the most willing of the group, but still your ally nonetheless.

Ok, I won't get all over your case then. If you were trying to say you feel he is evil, I was going to ask how you came to this assumption.. because so far he has done so little that I barely know he is even around much less have a read on him.

I know it is not a safe assumption, but generally a lack of interest such as that feels more like mailing it in and not really a sign of being evil.. but there obviously are exceptions to every rule.

[Tyrith]

INTENDED DAMAGE:

Colossus - 25
Jean Grey - 5
Aardwolf - 3
Iron Fist - 2
Spiderman - 2
Scarlet Witch - 1
Silver Samurai - 1

[DrDoom]

Who I wonder will fit in the last piece of the puzzle about Spiderman?

[NickFury]

Gonna have to give Spidey a long look tomorrow, not feelin good about him, what do ya think Ghost?

Perhaps he's the herald?

And I think it's this prevailing assumption which lets players slip UTR. They point to someone else less active than they and say "See I'm not UTR." So I say, let's not offer refuge for those evils. Lack of participation gives us nothing to analyze.

[Mimic]

Dammit! I don't understand why he had to aggravate Magneto. He also wasn't paying very good attention since he forgot the Torch nova blasted Kang.

Hey Beast:

This is why I didn't want another attack coming my way. I was already taking the second most.

I can't believe this. I was 100 percent sure we had found one.

*OOC - Of course you were. Like many people You latch onto anything you see amiss and you kill it without weighing the possibility that there was a REASON for the at. I lied on day 1 for a REASON. Too bad Y'all are too paranoid to accept the fact that I was right all along


Good luck.

[GhostRider]

I believed Colossus was our best shot as well, ugh. I understand Jean's Spiderman argument but he does count towards are numbers IF he is good so isn't in our best interest to keep him around to boost our count?

[GhostRider]

are=our I'm going retarded whenever my skull glows. Maybe all the glowing and fire is causing a tumor.

[DrDoom]

A long dark night awaits us. Doom will ponder in his castle the treachery among his subjects. When the sun arises again we will root it out.

[Punisher]

Was I ever ordered to protect someone else?

[Punisher]

Got awfully quiet around here. Maybe I need to bang a few more heads.

[Punisher]

I'm crashing. Night all.

[SilverSurfer]

I can't quite put my finger on why, but this post just strikes me as very very strange.

[SilverSurfer]

There is a shimmer in the atmosphere tonight. I know Galactus, and I know this sign as his. I sense he is hurt -- far more than we thought. We may be close to victory against him. I sense the opposite for the rebels.

I wish to lead the next Galactus mission.

[Aardwolf]

That was not an expected result. I was unfortunately detained so I could not change my attack, which would have been to hit and run QuickSilver who did nothing to help in the rebel mission.

I am a little curious about Samurai again as he attacked me based on an early statement being the justification. I will assume that he did not see my later statement about not knowing the back-pedalling of collossus about the day one attack amount which made me need to reconsider my stands on the Samurai. There is only one things my instincts are certain of and that is QuickSilver. His vote today again starts with a hit and run, then attempts a quick justification for it when called out but immediately changes off me once Samurai attacks me.

Ah, if that's the case, I am sorry I carried forward with the attack (although, to be fair, it was the third attack on me by you, so I can't be too sorry). As you surmined, I did not read the later post, or much of anything, short on time as I was. I am planning to catch up a lot this weekend.

I am glad to see you at least see the error of your ways.

[Firebird]

Hello all, I am in a hotel now and had no internet last night or today until now. Sorry, let me get caught up over the last bunch of pages and find out what is what

Add to the fact that Firebird had already been on missions both day one and two - it seemed to me that her searching for the sense of unease would require a special action (unavailable to her due to her participation in missions), although clearly I could be, and probably am, wrong about that.

I certainly didn't expect Kurt to back the story up in this way. There remains the question of why he did not mention it before. I see no good reason why "waiting to figure it out" himself would provide any benefit for the greater good as, if we are to believe him, he risks being controlled against his will without informing us of his predicament. I am astonished that he would not mention this as not to do so could result in him attacking someone and then, in turn, being killed for his actions.

However a telepath is named so all my reasoning here can be portrayed as me trying to cover my tracks. I can't help that, my doubts about this remain.

I am not telepathic, but I do get visions and precognitive views from time to time, but i have to focus and meditate to get them.

[Firebird]

ooc I beleive that the Super Skrull was not on our side but wanted to kill Galactus as a win condition. In comics, big G destroyed the Skrull homewolrd and SS would want all kinds of revenge.

"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 best guess is that he is referring to Shadow King, a character in Marvel comics.

[Firebird]

Sems I am not th eonly one to think so.

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

I wonder if a telepath couldn't change the perception of what really happened on these missions...essentially making it look like they did something to the others, when in reality they were just sabotaging the mission.

I believe we have to look at those on the Egypt mission. The rebellion clearly had reason to sabotage that mission. Aardwolf disobeyed Doom and went on that mission as well. We shouldn't just dwell on that, though. Doom may have placed the others in that group, but that could mean we were just unlucky in the selection of a rebel.

Personally, I'm concerned about Aardwolf, Quicksilver, and Mimic.

I get the sense from the rules and from my own mission, that if there is a traitor on the mission it's less likely that they take away from the mission, as that seems like it would be reported, and more likely that they would be contributing the minimum amount.
