It is with misgivings that I issue this order, both because of all of the violent conflict in the past between Erik and myself, and also because in this current situation I believe the power of Magneto better spent than to protect someone who is nigh invulnerable such as myself.

Nevertheless this is but a quibble, because in most other respects I have agreed wholeheartedly with the decrees of Doom, and I shall not fail to support him now.

ORDER MAGNETO TO GUARD VISION

This would have been a lot funnier to witness, if the Vision had not had all that misgiving nonsense. Still funny, though. I'm sure the Vision will sleep well with his trusty guard by his side.

With most of the effort focused on the Mission in Egypt, a group of heroes ready themselves to assault Galactus once again. Much is made of the role that Scarlet Witch will play with her probability manipulation, which when last used coincided with a very successful Mission.

Doom transports the forces up to Galactus' base using his teleportation machine, hoping to strike from a different direction this time. The heroes emerge directly in front of Galactus and begin their assault. Henry Pym assumes his enlarged form and begins to lay into Galactus, who still dwarves him in size. Cable, Kang, Jean Grey, and Hulk approach in a second wave, but that wave never arrives. Galactus unleashes what appears to be some form of an energy net that collapses around this group, leaving Henry Pym to do battle alone!

On the ground, Scarlet Witch's features are strained, as the air around her shimmers with an unknown force. The air around her feels electric and none dare stand close. In the air, Henry Pym momentarily takes the upper-hand against Galactus, forcing him back towards his ship!

That moment is fleeting, as the Devourer of Worlds recovers and casts Pym towards the ground at frightening speed. Pym shrinks himself to a smaller form and is gently corraled by Magnto's magnetic waves.

The remaining heroes flash before you, released from their temporary prison. Scarlet Witch collapses on the ground, spent. She rises, on her own (as none moved to help her) minutes later.

Galactus ignores this scene, remaining focused on his work.

I'm guessing we have several players who are new to WW (welcome BTW!) or who haven't played in a while (welcome back). This combined with the super hero logins compels me to make a few reminders:

1. Profanity is allowed/disallowed on a game by game basis. These moderators seem to haven't said otherwise so no problems there.

2. Attack the argument or idea not the person. People seem far more into role playing in this game than normal, so it doesn't seem like we've reached a point where people are upset at what is being said. But the level of personal attacks is still worrying to me. The idea of attacking the argument or actions and not the person is what allows us to run most games in a fun way. Consider this in your posts moving forward.

3. There have been several deleted posts. As I haven't been reading along with my mod account, I haven't seen where they've happened, and so I'm guessing they are just deletions of duplicate posts. If so, no problem. Otherwise posts should not be deleted or edited.

This has been a great game so far and I'm looking forward to seeing how it continues to unravel.

Only threads. Though asking that the right to delete a post be taken away for this forum is a good idea. Let me run it up the flagpole.

I'm not sure just getting rid of the Herald would defeat Galactus. I'm thinking that more than likely that person just has the win condition that Galactus eats the planet.

I'm thinking there is something we need to do here in order to make Galactus vulnerable to our attacks up there.

I ask that a player tells me if they post under their regular FOFC name. Upon doing that, if they copy/paste the content into a new post with their "in-game" name I'm fine with the delete. But the moderators should definitely be informed if/when this happens.

Indeed, Galactus seems to be growing impervious to our attacks. The device Doom is working on should stop that, but finding the Herald would not hurt either as he may be lending material aid to Galactus somehow.

It is also possible that apart from Pym the others did not expend enough energy to have an effect on Galactus (though Kang claims it is not so in his case). Or simply that we require larger numbers.

I had hoped to push Galactus back today, for my device will not be ready for operation yet. I can only hope that a convincing show of force in our attacks today will give him pause.

Not knowing that he was in fact a skrull sort of eliminates any premeditation on my part don't you think? I was assuming Torch was a rebel, nothing more. Again, a baseless point on your part. You're not paying attention to the flow of events.

And yet again you fal back on the "you lied to us" No shit. If you had actually read my posts you would see that I expended points on the mission as well as in my attack. Now I don;t know how many points you had to start, but my pool was rather limited. And just to reiterate my response to your claims that I was not vulnerable:

I had already gone on a mission so i could not use my defensive powers, I expended points on both the mission and the attack on Storm, so I had only a point left to work with. SO yes, I was worried about retaliation from the forces I BELIEVED at the time I was striking against.

Try thinking in the terms of how things actually happened instead of making it up as you go, then perhaps it might sink into that magnetic field you call a brain.

I've had enough of your ridiculous time wasting, we have a mission to fulfill.

*sigh*
I agree that this discourse has descended into the realms of the farce.

Let us examine the alleged timeline from your perspective.
1) You assign X energy to the failed mission.
2) You determine that something about Young Storm's inane banter rings false, and determine to attack him.
3) You choose to allocate 3 EP to hit him, thus leaving yourself, by your own admission, vulnerable to attack by forces unknown because you would have only 1 EP left. You make this decision, to leave yourself so dangerously vulnerable that you would have to lie several times over the next couple of days, based simply on something that you "felt."

I 'feel' that you continue to lie. And not very well.

You "felt" something amiss with the Torch. What, praytell? What did Storm say that made you feel so sure he was bad that you would leave yourself vulnerable and in a position where you would have to lie repeatedly?

Before we jump to conclusions, can several of you on the mission give your input on your view of how the mission went down? I ask for several different points of view please.

Enough magneto, I have stated my reasonings and laid my actions plainly before everyone here, you it would seem and perhaps aardwolf, are the only ones showing this much interest. I recommend you find a better target, your accusation is flimsier than you say my reasons are.

I already said it was a feeling, an instinct, there never was any 'thing' specificly. If you can't accept that, go suck a black hole. I have nothing further to say to you. you waste our time and energy with your petty badgering.

Here's my take: Mimic was kind of the man, although early on Surfer and Aardvark apparently worked well together. I did not get a mention, which I assume is due to the fact that I could only contribute three points but given my multiplier, that should be 9 of damage. I was the weak link apparently. From what I picked up, we did not see Emma die but she was surrounded by bats and when they left, there she was. I didn't see any evidence of sabotage or even of anybody "mailing it in."

Ghost Rider was not even mentioned in teh battle. Collossus cleared a path to the room the statue was in but did nothing from that point. QuickSilver temporarily heightened my senses and followed Collossus to the room. Mimic seemed to perform well. When the dust cleared Emma lay dead.

I hardly think we can be surprised at this result. The briefing made clear that we needed overwhelming force. Decisions were made to split our forces equally between the two missions. Understandable, but still what resulted in this.

Quiksilver was the first one into the throne room, but that's it. I believe aardvark is mistaken and it was SilverSurfer that heightened him but he might know better than me.

Ugh. My multi-quote got lost on the internet. That sucks.

Anyhow, the Surfer increased Aardwolf's powers so we could find the right place, which I guess is good that he came along. We met the eyeless humanoids again and Colossus helped fight through them. Quicksilver ran ahead but I'm not sure what he did exactly.

At that point, I grew to immense height and showed Colossus what a real man's package looks like and fought the statue (grew claws and something else I can't remember). I suppose I would've beaten a mortal, but not a god....which come on, if I can take on Galactus (boosted of course) I can't beat this guy? He squeezed me, I broke into a bunch of little Mimics and then bats and Emma's dead.

I'm not sure what Emma did on the mish.
