Only three of you have responded so far. Every attack in this village is on me. And one of the three of you is doggedly convinced of my guilt. I am convinced I will die soon.

Rest assured, I have put aside my thoughts for vengeance, and will put my attack toward someone I believe is a rebel. So if I kill a fellow villager, my apologies, but if there's a chance I have hit on a rebel, I don't want to give them a chance to counter.

[Magneto]

SInce I know he doesn't think much of my role inthis, I think discretion is probably the better part of valor.

Standard Defense

[SilverSamurai]

STANDARD DEFENSE

DTANDARD ATTACK WITH CONTROL ROD AARDWOLF

[SilverSamurai]

That should be

STANDARD ATTACK WITH CONTROL ROD AARDWOLF

[hoopsguy]

DTANDARD ATTACK - DISALLOWED. NO ATTACK BY SILVERSAMURAI.











I kid. Attack counts. Spelling is hard.

lmao...that woulda sucked.

[hoopsguy]

Slowly but surely a consensus emerges on this day. The SilverSamurai, a member of your troop that has been a loner up to this point, must be a Rebel. Forces marshall, as nearly every one readies an attack.

SilverSamurai withdraws his trusty katana and is ready to strike. You notice that he has another item as well - the legendary Cosmic Control Rod, formerly possessed by Annihilus! Will this change things? For one of you it does, as he deflects the fiery attack of Phoenix back at her. But the rest of you succeed in waylaying the armored warrior. He is battered and bloodied.

But not yet bested, as he emits a massive wave of energy. The rest of you scatter, lest you be consumed by these energies. He focuses them on Aardwolf, who is consumed by blue-colored flames. Very, very dead.

The Samurai's injuries are not of the fatal variety. He lives into Night 8.

[hoopsguy]

Damage Report:
Aardwolf - 17
Silver Samurai - 11
Phoenix - 3

This is the evidence of your folly.

I did not attack you. You attacked yourself. I have the ability to deflect energy attacks back at the attacker. I had a standard defense up for this.

I did not wish for you to be harmed, and for that I apologize. However, the only reason you came to any harm at all was because you attacked me. And considering you claimed you believed me, it is disappointing you still chose to not withdraw your attack.

Alas, I was wrong. Aardwolf was not a rebel. And I am close to death. I am surprised to be alive frankly.

You're a rebel looking to take out a loyalist right before you died since you knew we were going to kill you.

You'll die tomorrow.

And you will waste yet another day. If even outright evidence will not convince "heroes" like you and Magneto, then nothing will.

I surely hope a good player has a night kill action like I do. For it would be better for the village for them to put me out of misery, so that tomorrow you may all focus on actual rebels.

[SilverSamurai]

And, think on this. I chose Aardwolf.

Did you all not read what I did? Did you not see the power of that attack? Are any of you under any disillusionment that you would have lived had I chosen you? I assure you, you all, every one of you, even the Phoenix, would have died had I chosen to come after you.

If I am a rebel, then, why would I choose Aardwolf, one of the few remaining who is uncleared? Why would I not kill the far more cleared Magneto, who would also satisfy my itch for vendetta? Why would I not kill Mr. Fantastic? Or The Phoenix? These are some of the most cherished and cleared loyalists.

And yet, I attacked Aardwolf, who not only was not cleared, but, really, hadn't displayed even as much ability or given as much aid to the team as even I did.

Do I strike you all as unintelligent? Why would I (as the hypothetical rebel) choose Aardwolf? I had my reasons, ones that ended up being bad guesses, but he was no worse a choice than some others still left, and certainly on a shortlist of the remaining most suspected heroes.

But, relax, I am sure Magneto will be along shortly to say it was just one more step in my elaborate plan to put myself in the COT, starting with my vote on Kang.

What matter is it anyway? I am nearly dead. I lack the power to do anything but offer feeble defense now.

[Scarlet Witch]

So any idea what happens to th Shadow King now?

[Punisher]

Sammy makes a good point with taking out one of the "unknowns". That much makes sense to me.

[Punisher]

Wait, wasn't Aardvark on guard duty? That's not good.

[Scarlet Witch]

SS, I'm not sure I understand you -- do you think Magneto is good or not?

[Punisher]

This game sure took a twist. I'm out for the night.

Nice. First, thanks for pointing this out. If Samurai isn't a rebel, they now know this.

Second, look who has been exposed.

[SilverSamurai]

Me myself? No, I have a nagging deep concern that he is actually bad. But the fact is, most of the rest of you trust him, and I can also see him as being a terribly misguided villager. I also thought I was allowing my feelings toward coming under his attack to color my judgment, and decided it would be better to stick with my original gut feeling, which was on Aardwolf.

If I followed my heart, Magneto would be dead now. Greater minds than I will have to decide if he is really good or not, and since I am close to death, I greatly doubt I will have a hand in determining his guilt or innocence.

And he may very well still be just a hero who jumped on some analysis based on a ptoentially false assumption. All I know for sure is that he seems to have trouble getting his facts straight with respect to me (the number and type of missions), and he went to rather extreme leaps to counter my very logical point about my vote for Kang. I leave all that for the rest of you to judge. It's my assumption I will either be dead in the morning, or surely tomorrow night.

This just sounds like doubletalk. So, you felt that Magneto was a rebel, but didn't want to stick to your feelings, so you went with another feeling? It sounds like you still expect to die either way -- why not go with your feeling about Magneto? If you're right, you're a hero. If you're wrong, well you were probably going to die anyway.

[Mr.Fantastic]

There are several things that I am a bit dissapointed in about the way tonight went.. but not much that can be done about most of those. Today's lynch wasn't all bad though... One good thing came from it..

Since Aardwolf didn't die like Nightcrawler did, and no signs of the Shadow King... Nick Fury, would you like to modify your statement that you made earlier about where the Shadow King currently is?

I was more certain that Aardwolf was a rebel than Magneto. I chose the way I felt best about getting a rebel. As I said, I did not trust myself and what I was thinking on Magneto. I was planning to die tonight, and to die as a hero, having taken a rebel with me. Oddly enough, neither happened, so here I am.

Why, do you believe Magneto is bad and wish I had attacked him instead?

I honestly don't know. I'm just surprised that, given your talk throughout the day, that you chose Aardwolf. So you were planning to die tonight? Do you have any idea how you didn't die, then?

[Mr.Fantastic]

It might be a good idea for us to not put Spiderman to guard duty tommorrow, so he is free to Web Silver Samurai tommorrow. I am still catching up on the posts that I missed while gone, so still have to read some of the longer ones. Maybe they will change my opinions.. Either way probably best to leave Spiderman available for his special action if we need it.

Not planning so much as assuming. Every hero left in the game had their attack on me. I have no idea how I lived. I did have my defense up, but it's not that powerful, IMO, and especially against those attacks. I have a feeling some heroes were really pulling their punches, only sending in 1 EP attacks, or something like that. Otherwise, I have no idea why I am still alive. I do know, based on the damage listed, that I am not in good shape at all.

As for Magneto, remember, my talk was in response to his attacks and his doggedness in coming after me, despite the logic of my arguments. And he had come after before. Can you see how I would decide I was probably letting emotion get in the way of my judgment? I assumed I was being harsh on Magneto. If the rest of the village had suspicions of him, I might have thought otherwise, but when I doubt if my own judgment is clear and unbiased, who can I turn to except the village, who I would guess to be more even-keeled on the whole? The consensus seemed to be that Magneto was a good guy, so I ignored my suspicions of him and went after a hero who I thought was a rebel without any apparent bias.

You are free to do so if you wish, but I assure you, I have little health and no energy left. I used it all today. I will get some back, of course, enough to make a minimal attack or try to offer up a little defense, but that's about it. I may actually see if I can move the Control Rod to another hero, as I don't know if it would survive my death. It is a very powerful weapon (but it requires my energy to use, and I don't have any).

As I noted before, my special action (which is a night action, so I would use it now anyway, and you all couldn't really stop me from doing so) requires 6 EP, so I am very far from being able to do that.

I caught up on the thread and think I'll keep some of my thoughts to myself for the rest of the night. I think some of your actions/arguements today were not very villager friendly for a reason that I'm not going to get into tonight.. or it could be the case that you did what you did for exactly the reason you said. I am not sure right now but an pretty unhappy with at least one thing you did.

I've looked through a few things, and I think that there is at least one or two things that tonight may tell us, and perhaps it might even help us find out if the fundamental case against you was flawed, even though that does not prove your innocence.

So I'll just leave things as is until the morning.

Well, the village was hardly very friendly to me, was it? You expect me to be nice and willing to go quietly to my end?

I don't know what you're unhappy about, but I know what I am unhappy about--that my Aardwolf guess was a blatant blunder. I suppose I should have killed Magneto after all. For that mistake alone, I expect to die. I made a mistake, but I also feel I was forced to make this decision tonight and under pressure. If Aardwolf had been a rebel, my announcement of him being a target might have allowed the rebels to rally some form of defense for him. If I was not made the target on bad information and poor logic, which none of you chose to challenge today, despite the information being there to get, I would not have made this attack tonight. I would have done what I had been doing, do the lightest attack--with my kitana--on someone I have suspicions about, and conserve my energy once more for the greater good down the road, or maybe using my special attack tonight on someone.

But I was forced to defend myself. And here we are.

I can understand the need to defend yourself. Even with your arguements today, I still think much is left unanswered, and plenty that I could poke holes through. I still think out of everyone left, your record was the worst going into today, and the kill of Aardwolf and saving yourself from lynch is at best a neutral move as far as my feelings about you.

I am going to bed now, and I am pretty sure you'll be around to discuss your guilt or innocence further tommorrow. I want to see how a few things shake out tonight that I already passed along to thephoenix via PM in case something happens to me tonight. Once I get that datapoint, I'll proceed. And I will be around at deadline tommorrow for you to defend your case as much as you want with me around (unlike today)

Actually, tomorrow may at best be a repeat of today, where I will not be around at all all day until near the deadline. And I may not even return for the deadline, since I will put in my moves early on and it is my belief I will die either tonight or tomorrow.

So whatever data point you believe you will get, I will probably not hear it. I am a loyalist, so if the data point is true, it should show that. If it does not for some reason, oh well, my death will finally prove it. And if it does show it, I will be dead shortly thereafter, for not only will I then be a proven good guy, but one with a powerful weapon who needs only a couple days to build up enough strength to kill again. No rebel would allow to live with that power (but they will wait to see if you guys do their dirtywork for them, which I am assuming you all will).

I will let you know tomorrow where he is, I can only track him once per day.

[NickFury]

However I do know that the Shadow King is still alive. I'll let you know tomorrow where he is.

[Vision]

The Vision has returned, fresh from taking the fight to an organized yet inferior rebel force in territory to the West [ OOC just got home from work ]. Now shall I begin to review the event records of the day.

I just think in this case with a mission we need to win, starting off with everyone throwing out special powers or defenses or whatever this point in the day takes away from our chance in winning the mission (especially since Cable is one of the few on the mission right now).

After the mission, I am sure I'll have weighed all of the data available to us carefully enough to try to make a decision on where to attack for today.

Richards, you'll perhaps note that I stated my intention to be away from this petty and circular bickering for two consecutive nights. Yet would I not allow a day to go by without indicating my distrust of one of you by way of inflicting damage. Thus my early action, and subsequent absence.

Day 1 Unknowns (Liquifaction): Cable, Aardwolf, Fury, Punisher, Scarlet Witch, Silver Samurai
Day 2 (Explosion): Kang, Spider-Man
Day 3 (Decapitation): Mr F, Nick Fury, Spider-Man, Scarlet Witch, Silver Samurai
Day 4: Beast, and Firebird said he did it.
Day 5 (Squashed Pym)-- I'll have to look up who was assigned to guard
Day 6 (Psionic): Vision, Mr. F,
Day 7 (Charring): Vision, Magneto, Phoenix

Magneto is to be commended, this is excellent work indeed.

I believe I can fill in some of the gaps here, in fact I did so previously when you had posted an earlier iteration of this table, Erik. I must check my memory banks, and I will respond as to what I did, if anything, on these nights. Reed is justified in his suspicion, based on this information.

I hadn't brought this up earlier in public because I didn't really want to go down the path of hunting prelates.. but mentioned it in private to thephoenix... Vision was also left unguarded last night. No kill on him and instead a kill on mimic told me that either there were no wolf prelates, or Vision was bad as well...

Point taken, Dr. Richards. I know that the table is not entirely accurate, but I know there has been at least one or two nights during which I did no action at all. I will look and see.

Going back to our supposition that the method of murder might lead to the culprit, though, what are your thoughts about you and I being implicated in a psionic attack? We are certainly not known for this ability, my friend.

This strangely formatted missive was the first communication from me upon my return Tuesday night.

My choice of Aardwolf sprang from twofold considerations: a) that Aardwolf is not of a perceived power level to hold value in a Galactus mission, and the rebel missions are random enough that his value cannot be ascertained in advance, and b) I have mistrust still of Aardwolf, and was loathe to allow him time to do potential misdeeds on his own.

I have not read further yet, I am hoping that this action on my part has not resulted in added difficulties for the reign of Doom.

Another note: it may be correctly pointed out that the Vision failed to volunteer for either mission, and I believe this bears explanation. I expended every last vestige of my energy in the standard + special attack on Quicksilver, believing that he would be very elusive and difficult for us to hit, and therefore we must each do maximum possible damage were we able to make a successful strike. Also, not knowing the nature of the day's mission, I chose to forego enlistment, for the first time all game.

Here I both hinted again at the reason for my absence, in such a way as to avoid any jarring out-of-character moments for the reader, and also noted why I chose not to volunteer for either Tuesday mission.

I intend to return and be able to contribute well before Wednesday night's deadline. In the meantime, I'll not allow it to be said that the Vision is unwilling to assist where needed:

JOIN REBEL/NON-GALACTUS MISSION, WHATEVER IT PROVES TO BE

Here, I intimated that matters of grave concern might pull me away for the day, but volunteered in advance for a mission against the rebel faction.

You may recall that it was after this point, when I was away organizing the defense of our holdings against troublesome foes, the the mystical and mysterious "Hoopsguy" made an announcement that there would in fact be no rebel mission that day. Thus was the Vision denied an opportunity to share the glory of the final defeat of Galactus. Rest assured, though, that I observed with great interest and approval, the valor of those of you who brought the Savager of Worlds to his knees.

I trust that you will find this rebuttal accurate, helpful, and illuminating. I want Reed to know that I absolutely understand the reasoning behind his mistrust, but I believe that this series of reminders will serve to allay his fears.

I had to leave before I could explain the results of my ability from earlier. I created my custom ability to be able to track where he goes and I made sure to create one that did not use up my special action for the day. The Shadow King is currently occupying Aardwolf.

If anything, this actually makes me feel more comfortable about Aardwolf not being a rebel.

I wonder if anyone else finds this suspicious.

I don't believe I have her mentioned in my PM at all.

Confirmed, at least in my PM it doesn't appear she contributed.

Another night, another gruesome death. This time, however, it is one of your Prelates. Phoenix was savagely beaten in her quarters. None that arrived on the scene were able to locate an attacker.

Is the death of a Prelate enough to tip the battle to the Rebels? Not yet - there is still fight left in all of you, but you realize that you have just lost a major asset.

No mission on this day. Please proceed with devouring each other instead of alien invaders, third party villains, or rogue nations.
