The surgical strike takes his health down to 1/2 and ignores any kind of invulnerability. Maybe this way I can drum up some business...

You better be right about this Deadpool!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!111

ATTACK DOOM (CLAWS)

This appears to be quite unfounded. Did I miss some provocation by Doom that would case Deadpool to behave in such a manner? If not, then I am almost certain who my target will be this evening.

I second this.

Deadpool, if you're trying to get a team interested in you, this is probably the worst possible way to go about it.

[SackAttack]

Seems like Deadpool is trying to bait Wolverine into something here. Hmm.

[WVUFAN]

I already PM'ed this to Hoops and Ty, but I'll say it here as well:

ACTIVATE FORCEFIELD

I was thinking about going with a different company since their website isn't exactly user-friendly so you can adjust your subscriptions.

No worries on my end at all - I would not have started a game with a comic book universe if I was opposed to comic book conversation.

Now the other twenty players, on the other hand ....

[Blade6119]

DT, path...thoughts?

[path12]

(Silver Surfer)

Why are you attacking one who was attacked last night?

[SackAttack]

Amend that. Seems like Deadpool successfully baited Wolverine into something here.

Not knowing how much damage Wolverine's claws will do to Doom, are we going to be able to overcome that 1-2 punch with another target?

His dealings with death have obviously made him less then genial, as it would anyone who has gone through what he has

Weren't you the first one to join a team? Isn't that not keeping with your character?

Speaking of which, yesterday when I read that the Surfer and Moony joined forces, I was reminded of these gems waaaaay back in What If Volume 1, #34: What If The Watcher Were a Stand-Up Comedian?

Wow. Now THAT is interesting Deadpool.

Moon, I am gravely concerned by this attack. I am coming to believe that Wolverine may well have attacked Doom last night. I do not understand Deadpool's role in this, however.

[Blade6119]

Wolverine, Doom accused you of attacking him last night...now your attacking him now. Did something happen last night your not telling us, like he attacked you and hes trying to cover it up? Thats the only way i see this play making sense

Doctor, Deadpool asserted that his attack ignores any invulnerabilities. Is your forcefield intended to shield from Wolverine, or from subsequent attacks?

[Raiders Army]

*Deadpool*

Runt and I were both Weapon projects. Gotta stick together, y'know?

[DaddyTorgo]

(X)

My thoughts are that that is a VERY interesting move by Deadpool and now Logan. Better hope that you're right Deadpool, because if you're wrong that looks very suspicious and you are likely the next target.

I'm torn as to what path to follow now.

[ooc] i need to hop up and run out for a minute though, so if i can fight through this wave of tiredness i will try to formulate thoughts [/ooc]

I must disagree here. Considering the peronsalities of both parties, I was expecting them to attack each other, based on the insults hurled towards the other.

Deadpool, however, is a complete aberration. More than that, it's an extremely suspicious aberration that must either be explained and defended adequately by Deadpool, or I know who my target will be.

*Deadpool*

Bah, coming from a guy who got his uncle killed, his girlfriend killed, got killed by Kraven, gets replaced by his own clone, and gets pwned by his own costume, this isn't saying much.

{ooc}
The forcefield won't protect against attacks that have already occured, like the protection Britian did on Iron Man.

Bring it. I already explained why I did it. I need to drum up some business. The best way to do that is to off someone for free.

(Wolverine)

I believe that the Doombot was destroyed by Doom himself to give him the space he needs and I'm not giving him that room.

Besides, he provoked me and backing down isn't something I do.

Deadpool made it easier for me to decide since my team seems to be sitting on their collective thumbs, I thought I would get rid of some of my rage and backup my threats to Doom. Let others know that I'm not just all talk.

If he turns out to be one of the 12, then so be it. Doom baited me and I took the man at his word.

See ya Doom!

I see two options here.

1) We do enough damage to another target that perhaps Doctor Doom can survive.

2) We let Deadpool's ploy play out, and if Doom is anti-Apocalypse, Deadpool is in the crosshairs tomorrow.

{ooc} I know that, but the PM element confused me. If PMed, does that take precedent over what's happening in the thread? And if so, was it pre- or post-Wolverine?

[Barkeep49]

Ok. The more I think about it the more likely it is that Deadpool's a misguided villager. It seems way too early in the game for the minions to be making that kind of play. EXCEPT if Hawkeye is Apocolypse. In which case the diversionary tactic is necessary. As I think Deadpool is a good guy, or a bad guy only if Apocalypse is Hawkeye, I will join my team

Attack Hawkeye

I view this as more the best of several bad option than a move I'm pleased about.

*Deadpool*

Listen Cappy, why would I draw attention to myself this way so early in the game if I were Pocky or one of his donkeys? Having the "strategic genius" moniker certainly relates as to why you weren't able to stop Hitler. No wonder you got frozen like a Swanson's TV Dinner.

[Talgian]

Erik, could you expand on why you believe Deadpool to be good?

[Blade6119]

Its basically boiling down to hawkeye or dr. doom, and i tend to trust both...no one wants to consider the targets i put forward?

[hoopsguy]

All offensive or defensive actions, excluding passive powers, must be posted in the thread to become active. A PM may indicate additional energy behind the power (and must be sent in a timely manner after posting in the thread), but the power is not active until such time that it is posted in the thread.

So you never said how this description plays into being the first to form a team...

[Barkeep49]

Why would one of the horseman risk such an overt attack on the person most trusted to be good? It's not like we're looking at an end game scenario here. I could only come up with one reason why a horseman would risk an attack: to save Apocalypse. It's just too early for such boldness from the bad guys. As such I think it's far more likely good guy boldness, much in the same vein as what Mutants First did yesterday.

[Barkeep49]

I'm off to basketball. Will be home in advance of lynch.

I wasnt planning on role-playing at all this game quite frankly...i thought it would be a normal game where we all had roles. Then others started to role-play creatively(schmidty, wvu), and i decided i would play along. Im not going over the top, very subtle role-playing. But i didnt start until this morning, and even then im going in an out of it.

Basically, im playing to win...im role-playing when i think it would be fun, not all the time

[Blade6119]

I repeat, no one wants to have a big shift to my two picks?

[Bonegavel]

[ooc]
I'm off for home. Won't be on until a bit later (wife is at one of those party things for southern comfort or living or whatever) and have puppy and 6 year old to watch.

CAn't wait for today's action to come to a head!

Gotcha. I did think it was a pretty strange pairing there.

And he is out of the loop for a couple of hours. I've cleared out plenty of space in mine for the ride home from work, unless people go insane with their PMs.

I'll forward him all required info. Thanks very much for alerting us to the issue.

[Raiders Army]

I'm gone too for a while. I'll be back on later.

You raise excellent points. If Deadpool is a Horseman, then his actions seemed crafted to defend his superior. Even if he is not Apocalypse, Hawkeye has been in the crosshairs, so it hardly is a poor choice to attack him.

Interesting. Erik, you have convinced me that Deadpool is not worth attacking.

[hoopsguy]

[WVUFAN]

((OOC)) Sigh ... here goes all the energy I had saved up ...

ATTACK DR. DOOM (CRESCENT DART)

(Silver Surfer)

Moon, this concerns me. You mention Mystique and Captain Marvel as your suspects, then strike out at Doom without consensus from the team. I do not understand your action here.

[Grammaticus]

(Venom)

I find Mystique's attack on Doom highly suspicious.

Mystique attacked Hawkeye, not Dr. Doom.
