Age of Apocalypse Character Guesses

NickFury · 10-07-2008, 04:54 PM

This may be something that shouldn't be posted about, but I think it would be interesting if people playing or not playing posted guesses as to whom they think is playing whom in the Apocalypse game. Of course before any of us guess I would want Hoopsguy/Tyrith's opinions. And no one should say yes/no to anyone's guesses.

Anyone else think this might be fun?

hoopsguy · 10-07-2008, 05:18 PM

Someone else had asked me about this earlier - sounds like several of us are thinking along the same lines.

I'm looking for a way to implement this into the game right now. If I can come up with a good way to do it, then I won't be revealing the "player behind the mask" upon death in order to allow people to submit guesses.

So if people have been working on this, keep taking notes. I'll update either this thread or the in-game thread by the end of the night with an announcement on this subject.

NickFury · 10-07-2008, 05:22 PM

Sounds good

Beast · 10-07-2008, 05:54 PM

The possiblity that others may attempt to glean something of our true identities has occured to me, however, I think the task may prove too daunting to many observers as a result of the massive volume of posts and players. Nonetheless, I shall be amused by any postulations posted.

Mimic · 10-07-2008, 06:09 PM

I think hoopsguy is

*drumroll*

Tyrith!!!!!! Likewise, I think Tyrith is secretly logging in as hoopsguy.

I may be wrong here.

hoopsguy · 10-07-2008, 10:34 PM

D'oh!

EmmaFrost · 10-08-2008, 03:41 AM

I have ideas about two or three guys, while I have the disadvantage of not being able to "guess" who my alter-ego is.

hoopsguy · 10-08-2008, 09:30 AM

OK, game on. Submit your guesses to Tyrith and me via PM. Deadline for this is Friday at 9PM CST. Tiebreaker is the total number of posts in the game thread between deadline on Friday night and the Mission posting on Monday morning.

The person with the most correct answers wins the services of Jewel, whose private investigator skills can be used every other day to tail a target. This will not count as a special action and will not cost any energy.

I'll look to put in some "balance" to prevent the wolves from sharing information with each other and gaining an unfair advantage in this process. I expect the winner will end up being percentage-based, but I'm up for suggestions (publicly or privately) if people have them.

The winner of the contest will be announced Monday morning in this thread. However, the identities of the players will not be revealed until the conclusion of the game.

Scarlet Witch · 10-08-2008, 11:06 AM

Do we get to know who is in the game? I don't know if I could name 30 WW players.

hoopsguy · 10-08-2008, 11:31 AM

Nope, don't get the player list.

Also, GhostRider and MrFantastic have been removed from the list of eligibles to guess on account of bad in-game posts. So work with the remaining 29 accounts. Hopefully there won't be a need to further prune the list between now and Friday night

Scarlet Witch · 10-08-2008, 11:36 AM

I actually still didn't know who Alan T was, thanks!

EmmaFrost · 10-08-2008, 12:21 PM

Mr Fantastic? Must have missed that.

Quicksilver · 10-08-2008, 12:27 PM

I was sure it was Vision.

hoopsguy · 10-08-2008, 02:14 PM

Remove JeanGrey from the list as well. At this rate, will there even be a contest?

I'm particularly curious about Magneto and Colossus given their little bitchfest.

hoopsguy · 10-10-2008, 04:32 PM

I only have one set of guesses so far - with zero right. So the prize is just waiting to be won!

Good guys could use the help at the moment ... did I say that out loud?

SilverSurfer · 10-10-2008, 04:55 PM

I'd love to move that deadline out to the weekend. Between playing and life there's been little time to think about who is who.

hoopsguy · 10-10-2008, 05:05 PM

Fair enough - based on limited submissions, and lack of weekend play, I'll extend it until 6PM on Sunday night. Winner will have Jewel's investigative services available beginning Night 5.

Mimic · 10-10-2008, 08:41 PM

Is this the first game that was played under aliases?

Scarlet Witch · 10-10-2008, 09:50 PM

Oh good -- I wasn't able to make guesses today, so I'm glad it's getting extended.

hoopsguy · 10-13-2008, 05:35 AM

Two way tie for first, will contact the parties and arrange for a tie-breaker over the course of today.

Alan T · 10-14-2008, 11:26 AM

How fitting that SilverSurfer appears to be the first character to mis-post under the wrong login in the other parts of the board!

Punisher · 10-14-2008, 11:34 AM

That's incorrect.

Yeah, I've been just staying logged in as this for the duration of this game......forgot to log out and change that time!

Punisher · 10-14-2008, 12:52 PM

I posted and noticed that I had not changed my account as well. I went back and deleted the post...I don't believe I was 'caught'.

I have thus turned myself in.

Ditto one time actually. I don't believe I was 'caught' either but still, I'll own up to it.

hoopsguy · 10-14-2008, 01:24 PM

I have not cross-posted with my "alternate" in-game account.

Oops, did I just post that?

RendeR · 10-21-2008, 02:10 PM

So did we ever get a list of who was who? I haven't had time to come back and re-read everything

claphamsa · 10-21-2008, 02:26 PM

I wanna know the guess scores!

Wouldn't know. Someone might've fingered me as Nightcrawler, but I think the contest was over well before the Shadow King's presence was confirmed.

The Jackal · 10-21-2008, 03:43 PM

You have any inkling of who I was when we started PMing?

I figured out you were the Shadow King Jackal on the last day when you had posessed Scarlet Witch.

I also knew that whoever the scarlet witch was, wasn't lying about it. Like I said before I figured Lathum was the scarlet witch, but either way I knew it was the truth.

The reason I knew? because of the lag the scarlet witch had earlier in the game showed up in a funky formated post just as it did the last day, and that would have been something a bit crazy to fake. (ie: in case you were wondering when I asked which had the lag). Then later the reference to a hockey game.. that clued me in that it was the jackal at that point who was the shadow king.
