I concur. Why, having another study subj...teammate would be most beneficial, especially someone your combat experience.

Such comments only detract from our hunt for Apocolypse.

Pah! Even though you have shown yourselve to be not totally with out talent, you pale in comparison to
MANDARIN

But on this task we are as one. I would even deign to join you in this worthy pursuit.

those are the teams i have
i might have missed something

[ntndeacon]

Another alien presense! it harkens me back when ifound my rings. Venom, I would be willing to team up with you. with my intelligence and my many rings along with your fascinating abilities...We would be a formidable pair.

[Talgian]

Last Three.

Venom- Not sure which person you were originally, but Venom is the result of an alien symbiote. The symbiote finds a host (Eddie Brock is the iconic one, IMO), and the host gains many new abilities. Frankly, the abilities are remarkably similar to Spider-Man's powers. Wall-crawling, some sort of alien substance that looks and acts like webbing (slinging, sticking, just like Spider-Man's webbing), super strength, speed, danger sense, etc. As a nice bonus, he's pretty much immune to bullets and can blend in to the background. Expect powers to be based around those.

Iron Man- Billionaire industrialist Tony Stark is one of the world's richest men. He's been through many different phases, including as an alcoholic and Secretary of Defense. A highly-educated business man, he created the Iron Man suit, and has been performing superheroics ever since. His powers will be based around the suit: Super speed, strength, flight, regeneration, control over electronics, armor, and weapons. I'd expect his powers to be drawn from those, as well as his intellect and business.

Mr. Sinister- Nathaniel Essex was obsessed with his so-called Essex Factors regarding human mutation, but despite his brilliant research he was mocked. However, he gained powers of his own and has continued performing research and experiments on mutants to this day. NOTE: I am going to write this next part as what I expected his powers to be, just like I've written all the other entries. Interpret that how you will. Through his experiments and other sources, Mr. Sinister has gained many abilities. Notably, he super strength, damage resistance, and can shape shift. He also employs strong telepathic abilities. I'd expect his powers to be drawn from that, as well as his scientific background.

Hope these helped the less comic-oriented.

[Swaggs]

Storm checking in.

I am interesting in joining with just two other players to form a team.

Anyone interested?

[DaddyTorgo]

mr weds (mathemanic) is part of our team as well I do believe.

although blade...could we use some more "force" on our side? raw physical power?

That was my reasoning in trying to form an alliance with either Mutant First or Le Resistance...both seem to have more physical power, as we seem more based on the other elements. Though if you wish to expand the team instead, raiders and a few others are still available.

[Swaggs]

Gramm and Schmidty, any interest in forming a team?

i would be open to either alternative. i don't necessarily see a negative to having a larger team initially, as i think evil will be reluctant to sabotage early, so as long as we are all wary enough of our teammates and don't trust them blindly we ought to be alright. agree or disagree with this point?

I believe the wont sabotage at all if we are attaking a good player, or more to the point one of the 12 required for their victory. I would expect them only to sabotage if the target is evil, and even then i expect most of their sabotage to come in the form of discussion and attempts to shift the target. I think actual sabotage, as per the rules, will be a minor influence on the game(not a seer like role as barkeep has suggested). Thats my two cents.

As for alliances or large teams, i just wanted to keep small teams and cooperate, so when results came if one team seemed weaker then others we would have a smaller sample size to sort through when searching for evil

How do you feel about Four? Mandarin has got some bling!

[Grammaticus]

Am I correct in understanding that when you attack someone, that IS your vote? Also, once you do it, you cannot take it back. Which means no changing votes???

[Talgian]

Mandarin, your surpreme intellect seems like it would be an ideal fit on our team. I for one would enjoy your presence, and I am sure we would be able to help each other.

[ntndeacon]

thank you for those kind sentaments Venom. I would be proud to use my gifts for our common goal.

If we are all super-heroes launching attacks that could or could not result in a lynch, and players will be attacked who wont be killed, id imagine quite a bit of storytelling will take place. I am currently expecting much of the info we glean from this game to be a direct result of these recaps from hoops. Knowing hoops, they wont be 1 sentence summaries. So i fully expect subtle differences between teams, hints as to who has what powers, and quite a bit else.

Weaker in that he maybe says "Next, team Silver Moon came in to deliver their own share of punishment on Dr. Doom. While certain member were quite effective, in general the group seemed to lack the same punch of the other groups."

Maybe that would tell too much and he wont do that, but thats what im hoping happens in case of sabotage.

[Swaggs]

What are the pros and cons?

My immediate thought was to just join up with one other person so that I would definitively know if they were sabotaging me, but then I thought that would look very suspicious, as any two of the badguys could just do that (and, in typical WW fashion, I go back to thinking that they wouldn't for such a reason ).

Then I though maybe three would be better, as it would still be small enough to track most movement, but it seems as if four is the trend. I guess it is inevitable that the badguys will infiltrate multiple groups, as I doubt they will all stick together.

Anyway.. I'm babbling. I definitely want to join a group, so lets get a name together and make it happen.

Correct.

JOIN FORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Grammaticus]

Storm,

Are you thinking 3 because a block vote would show a baddie amongst us and we could quickly figure out who it was? If so, I think we could do the same with 4.

[Blade6119]

Want to hear a crazy thought swaggs? I seriously considered, if i was evil, forming a team of just evil. No one would believe we would so openly support each other, attack bonuses through the roof, and it would allow us to explain support of one another. It would be a great play...hell, maybe someone is already making it

[Grammaticus]

Storm (Swaggs) I saw your other post. I'm thinking small for the same reason. Looks like Hulk and Mandarin are game.

I am and if you are, then we can formalize as a team of Four.

[Swaggs]

I was more just thinking that a smaller group would have less of a chance to be infiltrated, but I am fine with a group of 4.

But don't the rules say you can attack twice if you have the energy, effectively voting twice (although not as strong as if you poured most of your energy into a single strike)?

Additional attacks may be initiated, assuming there is energy remaining to execute the attack.

Yes, but additional attacks require additional energy to initiate.

I have definitely considered it. I think it may be a little far fetched in practice, but I can definitely see a group of 2 and a group of 3 infiltrating and manipulating a team.

[Alan T]

Join Spleen in Mutants first

Just affirming Spleen's place with us. We still have room for one more in our team for a mutant interested in furthing our causes.

I'm in.

Go ahead and establish it, with the name you choose, and I will join.

[Grammaticus]

Team FORCE

Swaggs (Storm)
Schmidty (Hulk)
ntndeacon (Mandarin)
Grammaticus (Venom)

I think everyone said they were in. If the name sucks, throw out something else and we can change it.

[Swaggs]

So, I saw Alan T post this earlier, but, before the game, did anyone else think about what group they would form if they were chosen as Apocolpyse?

Does anyone think there could be some value in (if we get enough people to contribute who they would have considered to form a sort of pool) naming who would choose?

[Grammaticus]

We could always be: "Four Horseman's Bane"

Storm Joins Team Force

On a quick run through, I would have chosen:

Blade
LSG
Jonathan Ezarik
gi

[ntndeacon]

Mandarin joins Team force

I like the Four Horsemen's Bane

Apparently im not as hated and disrespected as i thought, as a few people have now mentioned me. All i can say is thank you for the nod

[Swaggs]

I had picked out three members that I almost certainly would have chosen:

Blade
Alan T or Schmidty (but only one)
Gramm

The last pick would have been an UTR type like CR, EF, Talgian, JE or gi (sorry if some of these guys are no longer URT, as I have not played for awhile). Probably would have chosen, at random, from one of those guys.

[DaddyTorgo]

i would have chosen hmmm

wvu
path
schmidty/bonegavel/juggernaut
and someone else...not sure who. prolly one of the newer players
