The goodguys have gotten wind of a secret meeting of the forces of Evil at Dr. Doom's summer ranch house somewhere in Wyoming. The forced of good have taken the X-Jet to assault and break up this Evil meeting, taking the opportunity stomp down the foot of Justice on this lot of evil doers.
Both sides are setting up today, Team Evil on the Rooftop or within the pool area of the Ranch House. Team Good sets up on or within 2 squares of the X-Jet. Anyone wanting to follow along, e-mail me at mboyle@microsoft.com I have a big 5meg .bmp version of the special map used for this game, or a smaller 330 KB .jpg version.

eight people in one forum game. Hah! this thing is gonna be so confusing. and unless you have 100 point teams each then i bet a few players will just drop out. this is gonna take forever
We have rules in place to keep the game going at a 1 turn per day pace. I know that's not terribly fast, but at least it won't slow down. It's 300 points per player, so as not to eliminate any figures from being played. The players knew going in the speed and size of the game. I don't anticipate too many if any drop outs. I also expect entertaining writing....if you followed the JacinB meets Brazil-la game, you'll see that JacinB is quite a good writter, it should be a colorful match.
You have an eager audience. The Watcher has noticed the on-coming confrontation from his remote location on the moon and has invited a few others to pay witness.
Watcher: Gather round all ye who would see the on-coming battle. Know ye that we may neither participate nor interfere, Yet we here may observe and learn from this contest between the forces of good and the forces of evil. Yea, we may even debate their stategies but I urge you to be circumspect and to offer neither advice nor encouragemnt the these mighty foes battling for their very lives....
Odin: Oh, Shut up and pass the popcorn you old wind-bag.
...And so they turn their attention to a remote wyoming ranch house...
(:) just setting a tone for the peanut gallery, I hope:D )

Do not question the might and the power of the evil team. We shall not drop out we shall...drop *on* the...bad stuff...to the good people...YEAH! Anyways, on to my team...
The bright purple custom built strech limo hardly seemed to scream "subtle", but such was not a concern for the man who rode within it. The Clown Prince of Crime always arrived in style.
"Gee, Mr. J," squeaked Harley's voice, interrupting Joker's thoughts, "do you really think this is a good idea? That Mr. Doom you talked to really seems spooky."
"Yet he has such a wonderful taste in summer houses," noted Joker as he glanced out the window. "I wonder how much art he has stored in there?"
"Solomon Grundy want art too."
There came a pause in the conversation as everyone glanced at the hulking figure who sat quietly in his seat staring at them. When it became aparent this was all that was to come the others started talking again.
"The pay had best be good," noted Bane quietly as he crossed his arms, "you still haven't told me what the pay will be." He turned slowly to Joker.
"Relax my friend, relax!" Joker grinned at him as the car pulled to a stop outside of Doom's summer house. "This will simply be a grand experience...*trust* me." Joker grinned at them as he climbed out of the car. His pale white flesh seemed to almost glow in the sunlight as he pulled off his jacket to reveal the purple swimsuit underneath. "Last one in the pool is a capering fool," he announced loudly as he sprang into the pool area.
"I do not like him," noted Bane darkly to no one in particular as he also climbed out of the limo.
"Wait for me," squealed Harley as she bonced past in a red and black bikini (yet still in her face paint and hood).
"Solomon Grundy wants pool too..."
Thus do the cream of Gotham's underworld make their appearance on the scene.
V Joker - 91
E Harley - 36
E Manbat - 27
E Bane - 76
R Solomon Grundy - 48
E Criminal - 12

R Solomon Grundy - Q 13 (hot tub!)
E Criminal - P16 (looking cool)
R Criminal - Q16 (trying to look cool)
Regards from Team Evil,
Thor.
Edit: Messed up Criminal's level.
Foul!! Team Evil Strikes first committing the first unspeakable act.
Team postings aren't till 12pm PST....only 10:48am now.
Probably not a big deal though...it will only affect our team.
If everyone would like....and it might be more "realistic" if I randomly placed the objects. If anyone is opposed to this, speak up, otherwise I will randomly place heavy and light bolders. If people place before I put the bolders down, I will make sure that no bolders get placed on any non-flying/leapclimb figures, so that no-one gets hosed by the random bolder placement.
BAWAHHHH!!!!
"Solomon Grundy Want Art Too..."
LOL!!

Stepping out of the Blackbird, Logan ponders existance.
"What the hell are you doin' here, Web-Head?" he asks, as Peter Parker, the Amazing Spider-Man drops from above.
"I heard this was the big Super-Hero meeting," he joked, "and from looking up there, I think I was right!"
Spider-Man pointed at a flying shadow figure, which was carrying another guy behind him.
"Wherest are the villains?" The Mighty Thor shouted to the ground.
"Look, Thor," the archer/former criminal Hawkeye said, "could you cut out the Asgard speak?"
"Verily, I could, Archer," Thor responded, "but I won't!"
Wolverine looked over to Spider-Man.
"Are we gonna have to put up with BOTH of them, or can I slice one right now?"

I will log on later today when I have more time and post my starting spots.
Ah, I didn't see this thread, so I started my own ... "GvsE - The Ultimate Forum Battle"
Here's my post:
For those of you just crawling out of your caves, this game started as a thread about Brazil's rules hang-ups. That thread blossomed into a discussion of Brazil's lack of tactical expertise which resulted in challenges for forum games being dispensed. After answering one such challenge, Brazil soundly demolished my Batman-ally team and the threads audience thought that it would be fun to have Brazil and I face off again, this time as leaders of two different teams.
I will be leading the Defenders of Justice, the Champions of Freedom, the Chivalrous Knights of Liberty ... the Good Guys. Brazil will be leading the Lovers of Darkness, the Enemies of all that's Fair and Just, the all-around Bad and Mean people ... the Evil Guys.
The rules are simple: Each player has 300pts to spend on either a good team, or a bad team. While there may be both Marvel and DC teams on either the Good or Evil teams, each player may only play teams built of characters from one universe. We will take turns moving, as normal, with all of the Good teams moving on one day, and all of the Evil teams moving on the following day. And, there will be no duplicate figures allowed ... in other words, if you want to play a character, you'd better hope that you claim them first. :)
That being said: Let me introduce to you the team that will be leading the Good Guys ... the Gotham Knights!
Hailing from Gotham City, our fearless leader has taken a sacred oath to fight crime and general nastiness, to defeat evil wherever it resides, and is generally known for scaring the bejeezus out of evil doers (after all, criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot): he ... is ... Batman!
Formerly from Gotham and now defending Bludhaven, our next champion of goodness was one of Batman's former proteges and once leader of the Teen Titans (or, just the Titans ... whatever they're calling themselves these days)! Having grown up and traded his green swimtrunks and yellow cape for the far more stylish black spandex with navy trim, we bring you: Nightwing!
Batman's current protege, a young man known not only for his detective skills but for leading the team known as Young Justice (well, at least until they actually took a vote and elected someone else): Robin!
And, joining them, we have the woman who once stole everything from cat-shaped diamonds to ... well, pretty much anything shiny. Currently Batman's love interest after a long-overdue rooftop kiss: Catwoman!
Next, we have Nightwing's former love interest and the one costumed vigilante in Gotham who is still allowed to fight crime in Gotham despite not actually working 'with' Batman: Huntress!
And finally, the man who will hopefully keep the team patched up and ready to fight should the battle get too rough: Checkmate Medic (whom, is actually just the butler, Alfred Pennyworth, in a clever disguise so as to not reveal the true identity of the Batman ... but, if you don't tell, we won't).
That's the team, folks ... let's hear it for the Gotham Knights!
My team consists of:
E Batman - 92pts.
V Nightwing - 72pts.
E Robin - 20pts.
U Catwoman - 85pts.
R Huntress - 18pts.
R Checkmate Medic (Alfred) - 13pts.
Infinity Challenge - ic036 4 Wasp Veteran 37
Infinity Challenge - ic085 3 Black Panther Rookie 27
Clobberin Time - ct084 5 She-Hulk Veteran 120
Infinity Challenge - ic006 3 SHIELD Medic Veteran 16
Clobberin Time - ct085 6 Nightcrawler Unique 83
Infinity Challenge - ic006 3 SHIELD Medic Veteran 16
Total Points: 299
More intro later, got to run now

Which team is the majority there?
On Samurai's team? He's got 184pts. worth of Avengers, so I'd guess that is his majority team.

This looks to be a good battle.
I am voting for "Team Good" to win because being evil is just to easy. Its also nice to see that Virtor Von Doom has rented out his summer ranch for this grudge match. One question? Who is going to clean up all of the mess? The handy dandy Doombot custodial workers? Just had to ask. And do they wear French maid outfits?
- Zeb
Doctor Doom steps from the doorway of his ranch house and surveys the onsomble of Evil surrounding the Pool noding approvingly. "Welcome. I have summoned you all here as you all know, to unite us all against our common foes. We have worked for years as rivals, each seeking in our own ways to take what is rightfully ours....everything. However our efforts have continually been foiled by assorted efforts of well organized 'do-gooders.' If we also organize ourselves, then together we can crush the puny efforts of these pathetic crime fighters, and get back to our real callings as rulers of the world. Of course the first order of buisiness is to elect a Leader. My assistant Doombot has collected your ballots." Doctor Doom flips through all the pieces of paper. "I have tallied the votes, everyone recieved 1 vote except for Avalanche, who has two papers here with his name on it....both in the same handwriting."
Avalanche rolls his eyes skyward innocently.
"I see we have reached the classic supervillan impass." Firelord sez while pulling a beer out of Doom's refridgerator. "Is all you have domestics?"
Bullseye points to a sign on the wall. "These seem a little harsh."
+-----------------Pool Rules-----------------+

Greetings,
My apologies for jumping the gun on the time and...hey *wait* a minute!! I'm on the evil team here. Bwa-ha-ha-ha! Yes, you fools! No one ever expects evil to play by the rules. Mwu-ha-ha! I've outwitted you all by posting early and...gaining...stuff.
Really, my bad. Sorry.
Also; Joker in the pool listens to the reading of the votes.
"One vote for each of us?" He glances suspiciously at Harley who glances away and whistles innocently.
My deployment is as follows:
Batman - OO42
Nightwing - NN42
Catwoman - OO43
Robin - NN43
Huntress - PP43
Medic - TT44
Lite objects:
J-23,JJ-13,FF-48,K-48,J-28,V-42,JJ-36,N-43,L-48,V-45,FF-21
Heavy Objects:
RR-33,Z-39,DD-30,A-24,J-33,K-28,G-2,II-39,N-25,LL-8,Z-34,F-33
And just so no-one missenturprets the map, the area in the top right, is an elevated Terrain bluff. The light brown areas are slops that act like stairs to get to the elevated area. Just like stairs only the dark brown area is considered Elevated. Also the really Dark brown Rock Formations are Blocking terrain as is the wall outside the pool. These can be destroyed as normal.
Having already been at the Doom Ranch for the past week to help out with the day's festivities. We find Spiral in the kitchen dressed in a French Maids outfit preparing meats, cheese, and crackers, and mixing the alcoholic beverages. When in walks the hero of this story, dressed in green, the superfast Whirlwind. As Spiral looks up from arranging the vegetable tray even she can't help but be awestruck by the devastatingly handsome Davey Cannon. "Whats all the commotion out there Davey?" she asks. "Hehheh it looks like were having a birthday party for a 5 year old alcoholic here, theres jokers and clowns getting drunk everywhere" Davey replies. With a fowl look Spiral says "Great. Just cause I have 6 arms how did I get stuck doing all the food preparation? You're the one that's supposed to be fast, you could have don't this in half the time." "Its cause you look so good in those fishnets. Now go fetch me a beer woman." Davey says.
Just then the intruder alert signals "Flash Gordon Approaching… Flash Gordon Approaching…" Both Whirlwind and Spiral drop there shots of JD, run through the kitchen and out to the lawn. There they come across a few of the many Doombots here at the Ranch, mowing the grass and taking out the garbage. Along with them is the most powerful mutant on earth Magneto. Magneto says to his fellow meglomaniacs "look, southeast, it's the X-men come here to start a fight." "Well I do believe they picked the wrong day" Spiral replies. Our heroes stand there and watch the X-plane come in for a landing and the assorted gaggle of mamby-pambies pour out of the plane. Davey "Yummm I see the lovely Mrs Van Dyne is here. But no sign of her husband with his self inflicted identity crisis. He must still be at Dr. Phil's." Spiral "Some of those do-gooders look familiar, but most of them I've never seen, and what's with all those "capes?" Davey " Yea, no telling what's going on there. Its like were being overrun by a bunch of exhibitionists… and a smurf." Magneto "You two pipe down! Never underestimate your foe. Even though they appear like the rookie squad, no doubt Charles has briefed them all on our abilities. Which leaves us at a disadvantage. You'd better go get the rest out of the pool we have some work to do."

I did not realize we were using a custom map, so I did not ask Brazil to send it to me soon enough. I am jet lagged and very tired so I am going to bed now. There are several options, I can set up in the morning after I get the map without lookat at the evil positions. Or JacinB can just set my team where he deams fit, as he is team captain and all. Either way works for me. Sorry about the confusion.
Samurai
Nope, post your own positions Samurai. :)
Actually, I wondered more than once why Doom's robots always resembled him... or resembled purple thugs with tin cans on their heads.
If I were an evil genius and master of robotics, all MY robots would resemble Heidi Klum, Dixie Bubbles, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and various women throughout pop culture history who have been paid large sums simply for being babes. And yes, they would wear French maid outfits. Among other things.
And they would be capable of doing windows, cleaning floors, and raining hot fiery death on any superheroes impudent enough to invade my stronghold.
Makes you wonder why Doom never thought of this.
Perhaps the comic writers felt that we wouldn't be able to take a story seriously in which the Thing has his butt handed to him by Jenna Jameson and Heidi Klum...
"He's over there," Nightwing said, putting his goggles down. "Harley's with him."
"Good," Batman said. "Then Oracle's information was right. Any sign of Doom?"
"Which one?" Robin answered. "I'm counting seven of them."
"Androids," Wolverine answered, sniffing the air. "Not one of them is actually Doom."
"How do you know that?" Nightwing asked.
"If Doom were there, I'd smell 'im."
"Smell him?" Nightwing asked, "From this distance?"
"You've never actually gotten close to Doctor Doom, have you?" Spider-Man asked. "Believe me, it wouldn't take Wolverine's super-powered nose to smell him from here."
Robin chuckled before recieving a stern look from Batman.
"We're here for the Joker," Batman said. "According to our intel, he'll be here with a large man in a mexican wrestling mask, a woman in red and black, and a large bat-man, and several of his henchmen. We'll take them. You can have the rest."
"Wait a second," Spider-Man interjected. "A 'large bat-man'? Wouldn't that be ... well, you?"
Batman scowled.
"Trust me," Nightwing said, "You'll know it when you see it."
"It looks like they know we're out here," Robin said. "They look like they're getting ready for an assault ..."
Results:
No moves this turn. All my characters pass, as they spent the turn standing around talking.
Meanwhile back on the moon...
The Watcher: Hark! The contest begins. Here we who stand and watch may also serve. Here we may pay witness to the first blows of the battle. See! The good team... Uh... See... hrmmm... See them... Talk. Yes. They plan their faltering first steps.
Odin: <snore> snort. Huh? Is something happening yet?
Dormamu: Shut your festering gob you twit! Somebody get me another beer.
... And they turn their attention back to a lonely ranch in the rockies...
I just sent the map to Samurai, and it looks like LiquidHavok and Gorrack are both a little slow out of the shoot. Let's just start them in the starting area whenever they arrive. So currently we're at 3v3 strength (with reinforcements pending), go ahead and start your "team good" moves for today as scheduled.
When our delinquents show up we'll have them start in the starting areas. Samurai was waiting on a map from me, I couldn't send it to him till this morning. So Samurai, go ahead and place and move today....and if LiquidHavok and Gorrack arrive, Liquid should place and move, Gorrack should just place. After tomorrow (evil's first turn), if those two still aren't here, then their first turn should just be placement in the original starting area, with no actions taken their first turn.

Hachiman : It is well that warriors not move with too much haste, but plan their assaults assiduously. Further, it is astute to choose one's own ground for an incipient conflict. That said, I am also eager to view the swift application of podiatric appendages upon posteriors.
Fortune favors not those who dally overlong

"Unbelievable" Superman says to Hawkman then,
to himself "He always does this. Why doesn't he just ask for help, instead we have to hear about it on the news...."
Hawkman lands, dropping off Aquaman first.
"The JLA has arrived." Aquaman says with great pride, landing deftly.
"When are you going to learn to work as a team?" Hawkman yells, looking at team Bats.
Supes continues on, finding the biggest heaviest weapon he can find.

Hey, Good Guys, just 'cause I didn't move my characters, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't.
Do what you want. Go out there. Fight. Or hang back.
But, one way or the other, we've gotta get our moves posted, guys. So, do what you're gonna do. Daylight's a-wastin'.

Aquaman, looking at Batman, says "Supes said we should head north along the ridge, it might provide some cover."
Thanks, guys. :)
As long as we're all postin' every time we get a chance ...
So, so far, Superman is the only one moving? How 'bout Samurai's team?

Earth's Greatest Hero took the initiative, aren't we still missing one bad guy?

Batman shakes his head, "We should hold off on our approach until we see what they're going to do. When they make their move, Superman can take part of the team up to the bluff.
"I'm sure several of our enemies will take the 'direct' approach and respond to Superman's team, but I'm here for the Joker and his crew and I suspect that he'll remain at the house and try to escape once the fighting starts ...
"Wolverine, unless you had other plans, why don't you and Thor plan on joining Superman.
"Spider-Man, you and Nightcrawler can come with us. We'll approach once the fighting starts and do what we can to tie up their fighters.
"Is that enough teamwork for you, Hawkman?"
Hachiman : Ah, we see contrasted the bold, dawn-heralded approach of daylight and the crepuscular lengthening of shadows with which night advances; the Glory of Heaven contrasted with the unnoticed ubiquity of earth!
What's a coaster?
Hey everyone! After a LATE delay of weekend plans due to a sudden BLIZZARD, im back. I had to go through school all day today, so im fine now though. My team will be... wow...everyone took the good peices besides one, so this is what ill be using...
Ultron, Experienced, 139 points
Klaw, Experienced, 74 points
Aim Medic, Experienced, 16 points
Doombot, Rookie, 27 points
Bullseye, Veteran, 43 points
Ultron and his gang of cronies arrive late at the scene, in a large van covered in an inch of ice as they just drove through a very very dangerous blizzard in central ohio. Angry and very drunk, the gang hopes out of the vehicle, and looks around the ranch.
" What the... " Bullseye says, walking in zig zags as hes had one too many jagermeisters.
" This place is a freakin dump! I say we go off to vegas! screw this ####! " Klaw says, dropping his beer. " GOD **** IT! DROPPED IT AGAIN!!! " He curses as he bends over to pick it up as Ultron steps out of the drivers side door to the icy van.
" Idiots...all of you, shut up already. " He downs a beer in one shot, as, being a robot, it does not affect him. A small compartment on his chest pops open and a second can is held out on a mechanical arm, and it is raised directly to Ultrons hand as his mechanical face does its best to grin.
Out from the back of the van emerges a Doombot " Lord Ultron.... my sensors are picking up a disturbance... " It says in a monotonous, annoying voice.
" Shut up, I dont care " Ultron says. " This is a VACATION **** IT! " He yells and backhands the robotic doom-clone suddenly as if it were nothing.
" Lord Ult... " Klaw backhands the annoying robot as well before he could finish speaking the name of the great lord himself. " I TOLD you guys that you shouldnt have paid the extra money for the vocal capabilities... " The AIM Medic, Katie, shook her head, shoving the already disoriented android aside as she walked up next to Klaw.
Ultron, adhering to the technologically advanced doombots comment, scanned the surronding areas for what he may have been commenting on.
" Lord Ultron...in that direc...." The doombot shut down instantly, as Bullseye flicked a beer tab with such accuracy as to hit to RESTART button on the robot, shutting its power off. The robot collapsed to the ground in a heep.
Grabbing Bullseye by the throat, Ultron lifted him off of the ground. " WHAT was that for? That was extremely counter productive... " He tossed Bullseyes body, limp in fear, to the ground 10 feet from the powerful robot.
Bullseye, getting up, says " Hes annoying!!! " He yells, trying to catch his can of beer from the ground before it all spills. " I have a head ache and his *****in is not helping it!!! " He said as Katie ran to help him to his feet. " Thanks... " He says, falling back to the ground the second she lets go of him.
Klaw, who had been wavering back and forth for about 30 seconds now, keels over and vomits repeatedly as Ultron shakes his head in shame. "Everyone to their feet...we must get inside....Model 1337 was correct. I must report to Lord Doom with our findings. We must prepare for the imminent attack. They are here... "
Ill post my positions momentarily.
Gorrack, bad news, you can't play Bullseye, I've already selected him. Rework your team and repost. You can't choose any "Named" figures that someone else has already choosen.

Question. If I wanted to rework my turn from this round right now so that some of characters moved, would I be allowed to?
HORRAY
the teams all here.
however i do think the alcohol has taken effect.
your seeing things.
thats not bullseye on your team...its...?
(psst look at team brazillia)
so all we need is a partner to verify rolls
get on it brazillia
-dB
well youve left me with about TWO playable peices now...i honestly doubt i can make a viable team out of the peices i have left to work with and personally own. Firelord, Dr Doom, Bullseye, Magneto and more all taken. Go me =/ there goes my Sinister Syndacate Cheese... 3 10 ranged guys with a 13 attack hitting for 3 or more....gimme a GOOD LONG TIME to figure something to run as I cant think of aNYTHING now...
As you've posted no post with "actions:" on it, and it is not yet midnight, yes, you may post moves. If you however had posted some moves and wanted to change them, you could not, unless they performed some illegal action like moving to an occupied square or fired at a figure they had no line of site to or something of that sort.
You do not need to own the pieces. You can use any tournament legal pieces regardless of if you have the piece in your collection. The stats for all the pieces can be found in the warriors section of this board, or at www.heroclix.com.
We did gobble up many of the good pieces, the only one you picked though that you can't use is Bullseye though, so you still get Ultron. Doombots are legal for everyone because they are not "Named".
Greetings,
Hey Gorrack, I hardly think there's a rule about only playing what you own. As for replacements there's always E Boomerang (same team abilty, double attack, EE...though range is 8) Or you could consider a Pyro. Oooh, wait! How about more Doombots! (How many do we have on the field now?) Just chucking out some ideas to keep thy brain operational.
Regards,
Thor.
dr doom is palyable
brazillia took doctor doom LE which is actually a doombot.
and although be it very noble and good (make me feel dirty) of you to only take peices you own i think you might be able to get away with saying you have say LE annihilus ;)

Awesome! Anyway, here goes nothing!

Wolverine gives a stern look over to Batman.
"Whatever you say......boss," he growls at the Dark Knight, making a move toward Superman.
"Aye, a team with the Troll and Alien might be wise!" Thor bellowed heartily.
Spidey looked over to who he was teamed with.
"I've always wondered what it feel with to be in a group with a rodent and blue demon!"
Hawkeye just looked around.
"What am I, chopped liver? Or maybe I should make some kind of comic booky funny quip, like 'What am I, chopped quiver?'!......sigh. I guess I'm gonna stick it out here."

Yeah my "_ _ _ _ man" JLA team happened to be figs no one chose and themed...so it worked out for me. And yeah there are a lot of Doombots out there.
Five black parachutes with big yellow "A"s on them open above the ranch.
"Real stealthy." Nightcrawler remarks glancing up at the clearly visible parachutes.
"Well it was YOUR idea to use the parachutes WISEGUY." She Hulk bellowed. "You were the one who said that it was not landing at the DOOM Ranch."
"DOOM Ranch, OH..... I thought you said DUNE Ranch."
"You WHAT?" She Hulk yells over the wind trying to grab Nightcrawler.
"I thought we were heading to the Dune Ranch for some sandboarding." Nightcrawler says looking a little sheepish.
"Were you SLEEPING during the briefing???"
"Um, well, technically, um, yeah."
"If we were on the ground..."
"Now now." Black Panther admonished, "let's try and keep our tempers in check now" we are here to see what Doom is up to, not to strangle each other." Black Panther says while rolling his eyes.
Wasp is without a parachute, using her natural flying abilities to keep up with the others. "Look everyone, let's try and look at this as a mixed blessing, at least we are not too bunched up with the others."
Both SHIELD Medics, Tanya and Nikki look on with small smiles. "Super human." Say Tanya with a big wink.
The team lands a bit away from the rest of the team, thanks to the parachuting confusion induced by Nightcrawler.
FF43 Black Panther
FF44 Nightcrawler
II43 Wasp
II44 She Hulk
GG45 Tanya (SHIELD Medic)
HH44 Nikki (SHIELD Medic)
Black Panther groans as he trys to undo his parachute. "Of all the places I could of landed, a briar patch? Gah, at least no one can see me."
She Hulk tosses away her parachute harnes and surveys the view, looks like a big building of some sort she muses."
Wasp suddenly flits by, the size of her namesake. She suddenly reenlargers in front of She Hulk, it is a swimming pool." She stated matter of factly, "And it is crawling with the scum of the earth, and a lot of men who look like Dr. Doom."
"Hey! No one told me Dr. Doom had brothers!" Nightcrawler said with a grin.
"Their Doombots you nitwit." She Hulk growls, still angry with him for the parachute stunt.
Nikki and Tanya are locking and loading their M16s.
"Played Counterstrike one too many times perhaps?" Asks Wasp as she raises an eyebrow. "You are supposed to be field medics not some strike team."
Tanya rolls her eyes. "Do you realize that in this day and age the medics are the first to go down when the fighting starts. By PRETENDING to be Troopers we will be overlooked." She says with a wink ;)
"Uh, ok, whatever." Nightcrawler says.
"Ok, look here, we are not going to get very far standing around argueing, we need someone to direct us. I nominate Wasp." She Hulk's tone indicates that there is to be no argument.
Wasp says, "Hey Elf Boy, teleport over to Batman see what he thinks we should do."
"Right O darlin." Nightcrawler says with an impish wink and vanishes with a BAMF.
"For now just sit pat till the Elf gets back with information." Wasp said.
END STORY PORTION
No one moves this turn.
Samurai
Hachiman (groans): Enter the Mechanicals; how I loathe them. One English Renaissance playwright features them, and everyone must include them as comic relief for 400 years. A true warrior requires no relief, comic or otherwise. Wait, suddenly they vanish as if they had never existed! Sadly, their return seems as inevitable as one's next bowel movement.
The Watcher: Ah, Friend Hachiman, too true, too true...
Odin: You're full of it Watcher.
The Watcher: I Beg pardon, Oh Mighty One eye?
Odin: You heard me. You have no idea what he's talking about, do you? Come on, 'fess up.
Gaia: Well I certainly don't like those mechanical men either, but I think there was some potty mouth stuff in there.
The Watcher: <spluttering> Well I.. That is... Well really! How Rude!
Dread Dormamu: Ya got any pretzels? I like mine with roasted Sorcerer sprinkled on top.
Odin: <to Gaia> I've always thought you were one dirty broad. <Laughs at his own pun>
...
<Dead silence>
...
Odin: Dirty... Gaia... Get it?
The Watcher: Did he reference robots in Shakespeare? Perhaps we might as well bring up Rabbi Lowe's Golems? Or was Hachiman perhaps bringing up that tired old hack Marlowe?
In any advent, We should perhaps notice that the Team "Good" has executed a nice flanking strategy.
Odin: yeah, they've got themselves surrounded.
<They all laugh at this bon mot and watch for the next move from earth....
hello all
first off im glad that everyone made it here, and in one piece as it sounds some of you had some white flakey stuff to contend with. also its great to see a nice mix of both univerese's represented in this chaos. this should be an excellent battle as i feel the stronger dc pieces are good aligned and the stronger marvel pieces are evil aligned. the writing has gotten off to a great start, even the gods themselves are chiming in. my hats off to all of you. hopefully the game play can keep up with the writing. and another big hope ...that the dice rolling isnt as awefull in this game as it was for jacinB meets brazillia. one point of interest the entire evil side, even the robots, are either drinking or allready drunk...hopefully that wasnt ultron drinking and driving. so without further ado...
I met up with Magneto, Spiral, and some of the doombots out by the pool. "Hey, Magneto, I havent seen anyone else come out of the X-plane, looks like we have them outnumbered. I say we just go over there right now and pull there under-roos over there heads." One of the Doombots looked over at me "That would be ill-advised. Doctor Doom has informed me that I should take you, Spiral, and Magneto down along the creek to the watchtower." "Yes" Magneto said "You need to slow down alittle Davey, with some planning we can all act together and accomplish our task". <Made 1 of 2 leadership rolls mailed to brazil> Magneto turned back to the doombots that were with us, pointed to spiral a couple times and pointed at me once. While they were talking I watched the clowns get out of the pool and Bender-tron round up the van-full that he came with. I think I heard Doctor Doom yell at them to "take the ridge" as he pointed east. Just then I heard the sound of metal footsteps come up behind me. I turn around and one of the doombots is holding out his hand to me "I am unit 029" he said. He grabs me and starts to fly. Just then I notice something out of the corner of my eye. I look over to my right and Spiral is flying through the air too. "Hey when did you start flying???" "Magneto is creating a magnetic field around my swords!" Looking behind her I see another one of the doombots carrying Magneto. {I think the doombots getting tired, I feel us descending. So long as I can keep him in between me and those do gooders I can use him as a shield. All I want to do is get with the lovely Mrs. VanDyne. I can show her im a much better catch then Henry Pym.}

"Mr. Jay," pants Harley as she goes to work inflating yet another set of water wings, "do you *really* need four sets of these things?"
"What was that? Was that the voice of someone who didn't vote for me to be leader of this coalition of criminals?" Joker reached up and pulled off his sunglasses as he glanced over at his
henchmen. "Rooster? Tell me, do we have any forthcoming passle of heroic hassle?"
"Huh?" Rooster glanced at his partner. "He asking me about that swarm of costumed freaks coming up on us?"
"Yup," supplied Snake.
"They came down in a jet...at least those that didn't fly."
"Solomon Grundy wants to fly too."
"Excellent, let us move on from these aquatic activities to something a little more diabolic in nature" chuckled Joker as he sat up and started to wriggle his way out of the water wings. Harley gasped in relief as she sank to her knees and tried to catch her breath. "Harley, be a dear and see if you can't confirm that ol' Batsy is out there."
"Uh, why would you want Batman to be out there?"
"Probably because I dropped a little hint onto the web so that insipid twit Oracle could snap it up and send the Bat galivanting to Wyoming of all places to stop me."
"You planned this," stuttered Rooster in shock. he glanced at Snake. "He *wanted* the Bat to come after him?"
"Yup."
"But you said this was going to be a pool party," whined Harley as she sniffled back some tears.
"Why must I be surrounded by idiots? Do you really think I would come out here to negotiate with someone who doesn't even understand the concept of first person pronouns?" Joker rolled his eyes. "Of *course* this was a plan to get Bats. I knew I'd never stand a chance in ol' Gotham, he knows it too well. but here? It's Wyoming for Heaven's sake! How can anyone be cunning and deadly in Wyoming!?!...besides me of course. Harley, be a dear and go check on the opposition."
"Sure thing Mr. Jay." She bounced forward, grabbing her satchel bag as she went. From within it she produced a small periscope. Pressing an eye against it she peered around the corner at the assembled heroes. "Yup, there's Batman, and Catwoman, and the Boy Blunder. Oooooh! There's Superman too, he's still got that whole Gucci underwear on the outside thing going. Then there's a big Fabio wannabe, and some dumb guy who's actually dressed in purple..."
"Excuse me?"
"...I mean, who does he think he is stealing your great fashion sense," amended Harley quickly.
"So what are they doing?"
"Well...talking mostly." She squinted. "I think one of them just picked his nose."
"Oh, so they haven't the cahones to face the Joker, eh? They probably think I'll hide in here waiting to be punched out. Well the joke's on them!" Joker spun around to shout to Bane. "Hey, big guy! We got a flying rodent hiding in the hills, so pop the trunk and get a surprise."
Bane cocked his head to one side as the clown shouted at him. He shrugged and reached over, smashing his hand down on the trunk to jar it open. WIth a loud hiss a giant misshappen bat creature sprang forth. Despite himself Bane took a step back in surprise. Then the thing was on him, grabbing his shoulders with its prehestile feet as it lifted into the air.
"Air Bane! A special delivery for the Bat," cackled Joker as he watched the two soar into the air.
"Oh, this is just a *brilliant f'ing plan," muttered Rooster as he watched the enraged bat thing swirl around through the air as Bane attempted to reach up and throttle it.
"Yup."
Nearby a hulking figure sloshed out of the hot tub (which had been unoccupied save for him) and glared into the sky with a deep frown.
"Solomon Grundy said...SOLOMON GRUNDY WANT TO FLY TOO!" He lumbered up to the wall and grabbed one of the decorative statues (a bust of Doom, of course). With a loud crunch he ripped it from its pedestal and swung it experimentally. Finally he nodded in satisfaction. "Good. Club."
"Harley," said Joker in the strange silence following Solomon's actions.
"Yes Mr. Jay," she squeaked softly.
"You stay close to him."
"Awwww man..."

Excellent writing, Team Evil! Especially love the Joker's speaking. Dead on!
Shavo, not to sound rude, but when you explain your actions after the story part of the post, could you please be more specific. I can't follow on map some of your moves when you say something like "carries our hero" or "uses magnetics on Spiral's swords to move her to".
Could you please write it as "Magneto uses TK to move Spiral" and be specific instead of "our hero".
Plus, please put down the movement of all your characters, even if they are staying in their same spot.
Thanks.

Avalanche: "Hey wait a minute, who put you in charge."
Doom:"I am Doctor Doom, master of all I survey, I am the logical choice for.."
Avalanche:"Don't give me your 'logical choice' cr@p, you aint even the real Doctor Doom."
Doom:" What?!?! I should incinerate you for your insolence, of course I'm the real Doctor Doom, see there, it's written right on my base."
Avalanche:" Shut up Tin Cup, you're just a mechanized copy of the real Victor Von Doom"
Doom:" This is an outrage, I am the original, I was the prototype, If you refer to the human Doctor Doom, he was a bio-mechanical clone grown in my image, I am the Original, it is I who.."
Avalanche:"You need to change your oil, come on, let's get moving. Those goodie two shoes are out there, let's take the high ground."
Doom:"It was my idea to take the high ground, you are mocking me, I should insinerate you, you should be.."

Pm me with the awnser
-Birds-eye view: The swimming pool
We slowly pull back to see the whole ranch. continuing up and out we pass through the clouds revealing the American outline. Passing through the atmosphere we pan around to reveal the pristine and unspoiled lunar panorama. Slowly pushing in we notice a strangely out-of-place structure. Is it? yes it is. Moon base Alpha. Passing through the oddly primitive air-lock We see that some re-decorating has been done. It now has a very Jack Kirby 60s feel to it. Throw pillows and potted ferns decorate the split level living room with sunken Jacuzzi and Art Deco furniture. Paisley patterns adorn the walls and ceilings. Tall leggy women with silver clothes and blue hair, mingle among the guests, distributing intoxicants as per the needs of the party goers.
Silver Surfer: Hey. Great Party!
Captain Marvel (resplendent in his red union suit with the lightning bolt): Get a load of the waitresses! Nice Gams!
Doctor Fate: Gams? Wake up and smell the new millenium! Nobody Says Gams anymore!
The Watcher: Is everybody Content? Hast thou what thou needst?
All: Yeah, sure, Great party Man!
Dread Dormamu: <sniff> More powdered Sorcerer please!
The Watcher: <aside to Loki> I was afraid people wouldn’t come. This is great!
Loki: <shakes head> You never even had one date in high school, did you?
The Watcher: <oblivious> What?
Galactus: Well. That guy with the purple suit and green hair seems to know his stuff.
Brainiac 5: I like the robot’s style as well. He seems to have a firm grasp on basic strategy, needing to take the high ground.
Galactus: Yeah, but that guy with the strange grin is letting his minions do the hard work, while he relaxes and drinks a mai tai. That’s an extra point for style.
Brainiac 5: Speaking of High ground… Have you seen living Monolith? He’s completely snarkered! I saw him making out with a moon crater!
Meanwhile. Back on the ranch….

Hachiman:Some of these humans demonstrate incredible hubris -- taunting the gods before they've even struck a blow! Remember, pride goeth before a fall and a haughty spirit before destruction!
Odin: Yes Hachiman. It is true, what you say... And yet, Thus was ever the way of the true Warrior. To fling a challenge into the teeth of the gods themselves before girding himself for the ultimate test. And therefore prove worthy of a place in the halls of valhalla!

Hachiman: Well... I admit you have the right of it, All-Father, yet I feel that here a warrior might with more wisdom challenge the enemy. Especially this particular team should bear in mind "Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad," since they seem pretty far down that path to start with!
Hachiman: What is "poker?" Does it involve "coasters?" I thought we had gathered here to enjoy the spectacle of warriors spilling each other's blood, or at least knocking each other silly! When I'm ready for some distraction, I shall seek out that shape-changing chick who used to dwell here back in 1999. She was pretty hot -- usually.

Hey, any word on Gorrack's re-done team?
p.s. Did you pick Firelord so you could burninate all the peasants and villages? (StrongBad Rules.) ;)
"There," Robin said, watching through his binoculars, "ManBat and Bane just appeared on the far side of the ranch. Though, it looks like Bane's trying to take down ManBat for us."
"He always did have a problem playing well with others," Catwoman said.
"Wait, wait, wait," Spider-Man said. "'ManBat? You mean to tell me that you, Batman, have an enemy named 'ManBat'?"
"Is that any more unbelievable than a certain episode of your life where you were called 'Man-Spider'?" Batman asked. He looked at his team. "Let's go. We'll take care of Bane and ManBat first, then we'll go after Joker."
Batman, Nightwing, and Robin vaulted from their places on top of the X-Jet and sprinted for the cover of nearby trees and bushes.
Catwoman looked at Spider-Man and smirked, "'Man-Spider', huh ... ?"

Brazil is using the Doombot's Doom Team ability to copy the Brotherhood power supplied by Avalanche so that he may dart around the map with great speed and skill. And ooooh, the Bat team is moving right into Bane, the master plan of the Joker is working. Working I say! Mwu-ha-ha-ha!

Hawkman grabs Aquaman, "Just remember bats, there are others to apprehend out there besides the Joker.", and then takes to the sky.
Superman scans the area with his hightened senses. "Thor, Wolverine if we take out their leader perhaps the robots will shutdown. At the very least it might hinder their ability to fight. Stick together, and don't move to far up the ridge without support."
Meanwhile,
Hawkman drops Aquaman right next to a large boulder. With his super human strength Aquaman picks the boulder up with ease, then heads to Superman and the Asgardian.
"Let's hope we don't need too many of these......"

Gorrack, place your figures on the map ASAP. in order to not gain tactical advantage from you "Appearing" you will have to pass your first turn on the map so that team GOOD has ample opportunity to react appropriately to your appearance.

Whoops, I'll edit the last post to show the correction.
oops, I'll fix the map momentarily.
Liquid Havok, you need to redo your move for Aquaman and Hawkman. You may not "Drop off" a figure you are carrying in the middle of the carrying figure's move. When a figure carries another figure they must begin that action adjacent, and when the carrying figure is done moving he must drop of the figure he was carrying adjacent to him.

"Shiny Parachute?" Wasp asked in expasperation, "I told Captain America that the Avengers logo was too much but no..."
Suddenly Nightcrawler BAMFs back into the center of things.
"Hey all! I'm back!." He says exuberently.
"Well?" Says She Hulk tersly.
"Well what?" Nightcrawler replies.
"What did Batman say?" Wasp interjects.
"Oh... you wanted me to talk to Batman? He kind of gave me this serous look and didn't say much." Nightcrawler replied.
"Blah, we don't need orders from Batman." Wasp said. "We are Avengers, let's get our rears into gear."
"YEAH!" She Hulk yells.
"Ok, Jeniffer you come with me. Nightcrawler make yourself useful and move your tail closer to the enemy. Panther, move forward in cover. Tanya, Nikki, stay here." Wasp barks out.
"WHAT???" Tanya and Nikki shout in unison. "Why in the heck do you think we will stay here."
"Because you ARE medics and when the going gets tough I don't want you two pinned down in the crossfire." Wasp says in annoyance.
Black Panther trys to smoothly leap out of the bushes he was hiding in, only to have the thorns catch his cloak slowing him down until he lands in the next briar patch.
Wasp get's a firm grip on She Hulk's shoulders and orders her to leap into the air. As she leaps Wasp beats her wings as fast as she can. Wasp gracefully lands in a bush setting She Hulk down next to a little statue of Dr. Dooms great grandmother.

I am so enamored with this thread and so anxious to see what Gorrack posts, that I put together a potential team for Gorrack to use based on the Sinister Syndicate/Masters of Evil:
http://www.hcrealms.com/cgi-bin/quickviewteam.cgi?teamname=GorrackPotential1&username=Kirsarge&action=graphic
Or how about this Superman Enemy team:
http://www.hcrealms.com/cgi-bin/quickviewteam.cgi?teamname=GorrackPotential2&username=Kirsarge&action=graphic
Or maybe this Blastaar-led Syndicate (I like this one the best so far...):
http://www.hcrealms.com/cgi-bin/quickviewteam.cgi?teamname=GorrackPotential3&username=Kirsarge&action=graphic
Let me know what you think.
Kirsarge
p.s. Okay, I admit it. If Gorrack does not put a team together, I want to take his place. Not trying to step on any toes, just really think this idea is cool.
Doom: "Your insolence is only rivaled by your ignorance. How dare you question the authenticity of Doctor Doom."
Avalanche: "Everyone knows Victor built you in his image."
Doom: " Untrue!! I am the supreme leader of all I survey. I am the one true Doom. Behold my arcane power."
Doctor Doom raises his hands dramatically which begin glowing in a dazzleing blue aura. He then clenches his fists and the blue aura spreads over his entire body.
Doom: " I have now augmented my combat capabilities. I've increased my attack probability by 21% for the next few second."
Avalanche:"Show me, shoot something."
Doom: " I can't, I'm too tired."
Avalanche makes an "L" symbol on his forehead with his thumb and forefinger.
Actions:
Doctor Doom perplexes his attack value up 1.
Everyone Passes.
Final Postions:
Avalanche T-7
Doctor Doom T-8
Bullseye V-7
Doombot(e) V-8
Firelord M-16
Doombot(r) L-16
Doombot(r) Y-11
Okay, now that made me laugh coffee through my nose.

lol. Has anyone heard from Gorrack? If he doesn't show up soon perhaps we should look for a replacement, and just have them start a bit further back i.e. evil reinforcements.
Yeah, I'm working on getting some milk bottles with Gorrack's picture on them. If he's not here by our next turn (Sunday) I'll pick a replacement.
The map has been updated.
The map (http://staceymyers.com/mike/)
Oh, and after this afternoon, I won't be updating the map again till Monday morning. (I'm not set up at home to do much...my computer there isn't hooked up to the internet, so I have to use my wife's machine. Ick!)

As you can probably guess, I'd like to throw my pointy hat in the ring as a potential Gorrack replacement.
Greetings,
(All of Solomon Grundy's actions in this post are dedicated to JacinB. You are the light of his zombified life. All of Joker's actions are dedicated to Brazil, so that he may witness the brilliance of Joker's perplex vs. Doom's. Harley's actions are dedicated to Gorrack, for all lost and seemingly lost people should stick together despite minor quibbles about one of them being insane and wearing make-up...though I guess Harley does too. Kidding! I'm kidding!)
Joker climbed out of the pool and stylishly (and with a hint of boyish charm) strolled past Rooster and Snake. He snapped his fingers as he approached them and Snake quickly lifted a purple bathrobe which Joker slid into.
As he tied the belt he glanced over at Firelord.
"Soooo, you're some sort of cosmic real estate agent, eh? How's that working out for you?"
Firelord stared at him with eyes that burnt with the heat of a thousand suns.
"I don't think he wants to chat things up, boss," said ROoster nervously as he eyed the flaming staff in FIrelord's hands. "Don't you think we should be worrying about The Bat?"
"If you only focus on business it can leave you burnt out," Joker paused to glance over at Firelord, "no offense. Well, why don't we take a stroll on over to the gate and see what we've
got?"
He snapped his fingers again and Rooster and Snake trailed after him as he approached the gate. Without saying a word he snatched the periscope from Harley's hands and shouldered her out of the way.
"Harley, dig out my suit. I think I'll need to deal with this little fracas in style. Ah yes, Batsy chose to come in style. Oh, and he brought the Kryptonian boy scout with him too, that'll be boring. Hmmm, some of those others are unfamiliar to me...Harley! Get out those data sheets Doom gave us on some of his foes."
Harley, who was already carefully balancing Joker's three piece suit, wingtip shoes, and stylish fedora (all purple with hints of green of course) muttered under her breath as she started to fumble through her satchel again.
"So what's the plan, boss? Snake and I wanna know the plan."
"Yup."
"The plan? Well, I was generally hoping Bats would show up by himself so I could have gotten all these fine criminal avant-garde wannabes to deal with him. Unfortunatly it seems as though we are *slightly* outnumbered. Harley! Get me that global positioning whosiwhatchit!"
Harley, deluged by the weight of the suit and the thick binders piled atop it could only struggle about on wobbling knees. Spotting his chance, Solomon Grundy reached into the bag and grabbed the bleeping and shiny device.
"Solomon Grundy gots positioned globally." Zombified eyes narrowed as he looked at the device. "I see Superman and a god are headed up towards them hills." Solomon's head turned slowly to regard the hills. "Solomon Grundy wants to crush Superman and the god, Solomon Grundy stronger then *ANYONE*.
To prove his point he lashed out and almost decapitated Harley. Luckily, at that very instant, she collapsed, spilling binders and silk jammies with smiley faces on them across the patio.

CyberVenom, you're probably right.
Kirsarge, go ahead and pick your team and place it today. This will give Team Good 1 turn to react to it...I think they're still far enough away that it won't make a huge strategy difference. Also PM me with your normal e-mail address, we'll need id for the Dice server. You will be paired with Liquid Havok for porposes of verifying dice rolls. In fact PM Liquid to so the two of you can exchange e-mail addresses. Liquid, will you also give him the link to the dice server and answer any questions he may have? My weekend access is not to healthy. If you need me for anything over the weekends use PM's, not my e-mail address.
Welcome to Team Evil Kirsarge, be forwarned we aren't a mamby pamby bunch like team good. We expect carnage and evil...I don't mean your generic evil, I mean EEEEEVIL! Vile, Dispicable Evil....Raping, pilaging, the whole evil assortment.
I know it's evil, but to be fair place your figures in such a way that you can attack any team good figures on your first turn as they are currently situated. You must start on the Ranch house, in the pool area or parking lot....that should put you far enough away.

Kirsarge’s Team of Wickedness and Misery
Suddenly, a tricked-out, top-of-the-line, titanium-sided motor coach bearing what appears to be an air-brushed painting of a spider with Roy Orbison’s face pulls up behind the Doom ranch. With a loud crash, a hole suddenly appears in the side, and Mr. Hyde pokes his hideous face out.
“Where are the pointy plants?”
“Honestly, we drive 1200 miles without incident, and you destroy the Octo-Cruiser NOW!?!?” cries an irate Doctor Otto Octavious, flailing his arms about wildly as he exits the driver’s side.
“I don’t know about ‘without incident’ boss. There was this issue outside of Indianapolis…” says Vulture, hopping out of the shotgun seat.
“Well, I hardly call 6 dead cats and an overturned fire truck an ‘incident.’” Replied Doc Ock, surveying the damage from Mr. Hyde.
“Where are the Pointy PLANTS??”
The Sandman materializes suddenly next to Doc Ock. “If someone doesn’t show that maniac a freaking cactus soon, I swear I’m going to kill him. And I’ll probably kill you, Toomes, for getting him interested in them to begin with.”
“Hey,” responds Vulture, “at least he stopped wanting to play flamin’ ‘I Spy.’”
“Whatever. You show him a cactus. Hey, where’s our back up? I thought he was supposed to meet us…”
“He should be here any minute.”
“POINTY PLANTS!!”
“Hyde, I think there a bunch of them up on that hill over there,” says Vulture, pointing east. Hyde lumbers towards the bluffs, only to stop as he stumbles across a keg of frosty Canadian Lager.
Suddenly, the air is torn with a thunderous boom. A foul smell emits from above the ranch.
“Ah, there is our ally now,” smirks Doc Ock.
“Doom…I have come as promised. Now, point me to the enemy, for Blastaar of Baluur seeks battle!”
Kirsarge’s Team:
Unique Blastaar of Baluur – 107 pts.
Exp. Dr. Octopus – 44 pts.
Exp. Mr. Hyde – 50 pts.
Exp. Sandman – 79 pts.
Exp. Vulture – 20 pts.
Starting Positions:
Blastaar – P9 (Talking to Doom)
Dr. Octopus – C10 (Surveying damage to the Octo-Cruiser)
Mr. Hyde – P10 (Draining a half-barrel of Moosehead, Canada's Finest Lager, momentarially forgetting about the cacti in the distance)
Sandman – D10 (Shaking his head in frustration, looking for the keg)
Vulture – D11 (Flexing his wings and wondering if he can carry Sandman)
Thanks guys. I’ll be available everyday. And Gorrack, sorry to jump in, but you know what they say about snoozing.
(Edited 2/22/03 to include refrences to booze...Thanks, Shavo.)
Unique of Blastaar of Baluur???? 107 points???
I'm confused.
Tournament legal pieces only.
He is a Cloberin Time LE. Check the Warriors section of this site you'll find him.

Neron lowers his gaze from the view. He elbows Loki in the ribs (breaking two of them) and chuckles.
Neron: I see the last of our players has arrived. Wonderful! There will be souls for the harvesting tonight. I have seen what The living bombburst can do….
… Messy.
Loki: ung…uh… ouch. Yeah, wonderful. Another alien. Great. We should phone Mulder.
Neron: (laughing uproariously) Very droll, friend Loki. What can you tell me of the others?
Loki: Well, the one with the metal arms wears tighty-whities….
Across the room The Watcher welcomes the strangely named “Your Mother” and her companion.
The Watcher: You are, of course both welcome. I have little knowledge of you or your friend, however I always thought your name was Jo… * Didn’t you spontaneously combust?
Down by the Jacuzzi Mr. Mxyzptlk dips his toe into the hot water and, with an impish grin, turns it into cream of corn chowder. The Guardian of Oa, who had been in the Jacuzzi, trying to hit on Gaia at the time, leaps from the soup with a startled cry.
Guardian of Oa: You idiot! I’m Lactose intolerant… and it’s Yellow to boot!
Gaia: <slurps some> but really good! You must give me the recipe.
Mr. Mxyzptlk: <puts his arm around her waist> Well, first you start with a big ear of corn….
<Gaia giggles...>
…And the party goes on….

Kirsarge, a million apologies!! A couple weeks ago when I looked at the list of Clobberin Time LE's it looked complete save for the absence of CT102, (which was most likely to be a Sniper), and there was no Blastaar on there. Wizkids site didn't list him...of course I don't think they've posted any of the CT LE's. Anyhow when heroclixing tonight I was told there really was a Blastaar LE so I feel like a dork. Yeah, of course he's legal, bring him on. I won't be able to update the map until Monday, at which time I'll put your figures in whatever location they're at. Till then everyone will have to keep track of them however they were before I posted the map.

Wolverine sniffed in the air, but no odor stuck out among the others.
"I'm going in closer," he said to Superman, Thor, and Aquaman, "Feel free to follow"
Sneaking past the rocks and other debris, Logan stops behind a large bush.
After a quick search of the area, due to super smelling, he calls to the others.
"C'mon guys, you can come on over. I'm getting a brief hind of metal."
"We're on our way," Thor answered.
The Avengers began moving, leaving Hawkeye in the dust, just as soon as he'd shown up.
"Where ya goin' guys?!" he complained.
And as Batman, Nightcrawler, and Nightwing move closer to the field, Spidey fells a little....well, let's say slow.
"I didn't know having the proportionate speed of a nightcrawler was better than a spider! Blast!"

Just as Wolverine and Thor begin to move, Superman takes to the sky once more.
"A mini-van of some sort just arrived." Kal-El shakes his head, then utters into his comm, "Reinforcments"
Supes then lands on a large rock formation surveying the soon to be devastated battlefield from an even better vantage point.
Meanwhile,
Hawkman looks over to the boy wonder, "You ready for this kid? These are not just your common thugs, these guys are the worst of the worst. Your in the big leagues now."
Aquaman looks around seeing nothing but dry brush after dry brush, and cracked moisture deprived soil.
"Why do they always have to hide out in the desert or space or underground...for once can't we go to the ocean to fight these guys?"

Note: there is actually very little desert in wyoming. Especially in places where people build ranches. Wyoming is mostly composed of forested mountains, grassy plains and mixtures. In short, it is one of the most lush and verdant places on the planet Earth.

For some reason I totally blanked on what state this was in, and how much foliage is on the map, but the joke doesn't work as well in the grassy hills......well to make up for my oversight - To Aquaman Wyoming might look like a desert....okay that isn't very good either :P Sigh...must...remember...what.... state...we're in.....
Thanks BTW.
Don't sweat it. The jk was worth it.

"HEY BATMAN!" Nightcrawler shouts as he exits the sulpheric dimension. The sudden appearance right on his heal startels the granite faced Batman a little.
"So, Batsy, what's the plan? What we gonna do?" Nightcrawler says, both out of curiosity and mischieviousness.
Batman favors Nightwing with a pained look. Nightwing nods and they proceed to give Nightwing the silent treatment... for now.
"Come on let's get a move on Janet!" She Hulk says sensing the nearness of the enemies.
"Sorry Jen, you are a big lug (no offense) and I am a bit winded from carrying you. If you don't mind I think it would be more prudent to conserve my strength." Wasp says between gulps of air.
Black Panther curses, "Why BRIAR patches? Why not nice jungle foilage?" He says pulling a thorn out of his foot.
"Look, even IF we do go along with this whole 'Medic' business how do those Avengers plan on walking ALL the way back here when they're wounded?" Tanya says, sounding extremely logical.
"Yeah, I mean, rule number one, don't move a victim... I mean injured person more than is needed." Nikki agrees.
"So? Let's get moving." Tanya says with a grin.
"Yeah! Lock and load BABY!" Nikki shouts.
They proceed to ram in ammo clips and flip off the safety (SHIELD forgot to inform them that medicine was not ONLY for keeping your targets allive long enough to question them after you shot them. A twist on the old shoot first ask questions later)
They then run forward Special Forces style.
SHIELD Medic 1 (Tanya) moves from HH44 to GG38
SHIELD Medic 2 (Nikki) moves from GG45 to GG39.
{Hmmm…this place is a puss festering butt-sore. Judging by the position of the sun, number of sheep I've seen, and the amount of beer Mr. Hyde has consumed, I'd say that puts us near Rawlins.

"DAVEY!!!" Magneto yells from behind him "Put your gameboy away and get down along the edge of the creek near the road!" "Betty get down here and take Davey's postion"<making 1 of 2 leadership rolls>
Davey Cannon turns back around to Unit 029 "Well you heard him, take me over to the other side of that rock" Unit 029 grabs Davey by his pointy little helmet and blasts into the air. "HEY!!!" yells Davey "Watch the hair!" as they round the small rock formation Davey spots a shiny object in the stream and instructs the Doombot to land near it. Coming in for the landing the Doombot lets go of our hero a little prematurely… KERSPLASH. "Why You!!! I'm gonna turn you into a beer keg after were done here." Just then another Kersplash.

Oh BS Gelf, Wyoming as near as I can tell is "the roadkill state."
I drove through it a few years ago and saw pretty much 1 of half of everything that was on the arc laying on the side of the road decomposing. I didn't see any grassy plains, all I saw was ragweed plains, flat treeless ranches and roadkill...lots and lots of roadkill. The very western edge of the state is were the mountainous forested Idaho ends, and on the east side there were some really cool rock bluffs the kind you see in cool old timey western movies...in fact Wyoming looks pretty much like a generic old west set. Well at least old time movies that featured roadkill.

“A Tale of Two Leaders”
“Gentlemen, please listen up, for here comes the plan. Toomes, carry Sandman up ahead and try to catch up with Magneto, if you can’t reach him, Sandman, you run up and stop him for me. I’d be interested to hear what his intentions are for the coming battle. I will follow behind on my mechanical arms.”
(Dr. Octopus fails his leadership roll.) “Uh, boss, I am not carrying Sandman. Look at him, look at me. It just ain’t gonna happen.”
“Yeah, and since when is Sandman your message boy? You want Magneto, you go talk to him yourself. Me? I’m gonna find Spider-Man and crush his head to a fine paste. You coming, Toomes?”
“I’m with you, Sandy.”
Octopus is aghast. “Well! I never! You two come back here this instant!! We have to work as a team!! Look around you!! There are giant bats carrying lucharores, an alien carrying a boulder, a god, a … come back here!!! And there are Avengers! And X-Men!! And who knows what else is out there!!! You have to listen to me! Come back!!!”
Meanwhile…
Blastaar surveys the scene, and comes up with a plan. “You! In the green!! Yes you, the one drinking the Earth malt beverage! Follow me to the bluffs, and we will tear directly through our enemies greatest warriors, crippling them!! Come!!!” (Blastaar fails his leadership roll.) Blastaar takes off East, before noticing that Mr. Hyde is not following. In fact, Hyde is chewing on the remains of a bottle of Crown Royal. His eyes are glassier than usual.
Blastaar rolls his eyes. “You defy my order?!?! Then by the Gaseous Havok of Baluur, I shall carry you to battle!”
Positions:
Vulture E19 @
Sandman D19@
Doc Ock C10 (Standing with all 6 arms on hips, with jaw dropped open.)
Blastaar V10 @ (Subtlety snarling at Hyde.)
Hyde W11 (Potentially going to vomit from the combination of booze and blasting.)
Nurse Betty looks behind her from hearing all the rantings of Dr Octopus.
{Hehehe Super Villians... No wonder they always get there butt kicked by the goodguys, theres to many of them wanting to lead and no one wanting to follow. And Vulture and Sandman fighting over the exact same spot of dirt to stand on, what bafoons.}

I cannot dispute your expieience, as I, too, saw Many Bags 'O' Roadkill... But! I also saw the grand Teton Nat'l park, The Oregon Trail, and Yellowstone Nat'l Park. The nation's largest herds of elk and antelope are there; deer, moose, and bear are plentiful, and the rivers, lakes, and streams teem with fish. Also in the state are Devils Tower and Fossil Butte national monuments and two national recreational areas, Bighorn Canyon and Flaming Gorge. I submit that the reason there is so much road-kill is that there is simply a whole Sh*t-pot full of wildlife there.
(BTW, I am not from Wyoming, I have never lived in Wyoming, and I hold no municipal bond for Wyoming. I copied most of the above from an online encyclopedia. Feel free to trash it if you feel the need. I was just being a smarty-pants, know-it-all. <shrug>):)

"Y'know Harl, sometimes I begin to think I am totally in the wrong line of work."

"Too many weirdos."
Meanwhile, circling through the sky, Bane finally twisted an arm free on Manbat's grip. With a snarl Bane twisted about, his free arm shooting upwards as one powerful hand clamped firmly upon Manbat's throat.
"Got you," said Bane in quiet menace.
However, the sudden movement and startlement of Bane's attack threw the winged mutate off balance. Manbat let out a shrill and angry cry as it suddenly plummeted towards the ground. Bane looked down at the quickly approaching patch of briars.
"Oh....d*mn."
Manbat carries Bane and all others pass.

Rules question:
Due to family issues, I was unable to get online on Saturday to post a move.
However, as none of my characters we're given actions for the turn, is that considered a pass action and are my characters then cleared for this turn?

Reachs into his pockets and pulls out a pair of binoculers and a banana. Scanning the desolate wasteland looking for the one with the pointy ears. {Hmmm...i know there over there in that bush but i cant quite see them. A-HA!

As the rules for this battle were stated; a lack of posting your action means that all your characters are given a pass action. So yeah, the Bat team rests and plots...though if you want to give them all one click of damage that would be *totally* fine with me.
Regards,
Thor.
Doom grabs Avalanche by the back of his belt and soars up the bluf. He is flanked by a pair of doombots one of which also carries a passanger....Bullseye. Bullseye looks into the camera. "Guns don't kill people, I kill people...with a gun."
Avalanche (Who's just been dropped a few feet away.): "You've got to work on your cliches ... 'guns don't kill people blah ba blah blah blah.' That is so late 80's action movie. And that thing on your forehead, is that like a target? What were you thinkin? You lose a bet?"
At that moment a ball of flame crashes to the ground, the flame subsides revealing an imposing figure with flaming hair and one slightly singed doombot. "Burninating my doombot ride, burninating the country. Hey check out these beefy arms."
Avalanche: "Nevermind Bullseye, you're realatively normal in this crowd... I guess." Avalanche looks around... "Let's see Superman, Thor, and Wolverine are heading my way and I'm surrounded by targethead, Strong-lord, Bender and the Bendettes. Oh man, I should have stayed in bed....what are we gonna do...I mean if only we had a wheelbarrow and a holocost cloak."
Firelord winks: "I am a holocost cloak."
Actions:
Doctor Doom perplexes his own movement up 1. He then carries Avalanche (free move). He lands at CC-5 dropping Avalanche off at DD-5.
The Doombot carrying Bullseye also free moves landing at CC-6 dropping Bullseye off at DD-6.
The lone Doombot Free moves to DD-7.
The last Doombot carries free carrying Firelord moves to R-13, dropping Firelord off at R-14.
Firelord immedeately takes back off now carrying the doombot, Firelord lands at EE-8 and places the Doombot at EE-7

Important FYI - I just caught this while updating the map. Manbat attempted to move to an occupied square. This means Manbat and Bane bounce back to their original positions and get a pass action. Sorry, Thor665. I am not able to keep the map up do date on the weekends.
The map is current now:

"Move," Batman said gruffly to the blue elf shouting up to him from the base of the tree.
"What?" the elf shouted.
"Move," Batman repeated, angrilly. "Now."
"But ..."
"Move!"
Meanwhile, closer to the X-jet ...
"What? Are you kidding me?" Robin asked the Medic that scrambled up and sat down next to his position.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm trying to take advantage of some cover, here," Robin said. "You're drawing attention to my position."
"And?"
"And?! Did they not teach you anything in that military unit you're a part of?! Think of me and my friends as the guys from 'covert ops'. You can run interference for us if you want to. If you could draw attention away from us, do it. But don't ever - ever - run up and sit down next to one of us!"
"Why?"
Robin sighed.
"If they won't move," Batman said over the comm unit, "Gas them."
"Right," Robin said, drawing a couple of pellets out of his utility belt. He looked at the medic, "You heard the man, so it's your choice."

Jo matha: Ovay
Dust rises from his footsteps, powdery in the low lunar gravity. A boulder is kicked. It smacks soundlessly against the side of a crater marring the once perfect circle. He turns to run after it, but is cut off by a flashing silver streak on a surfboard who swoops down and picks up the round moonrock. Swerving by his massive opponent he soars over Xemnu the Titan and stuffs it in the makeshift net!
“That’s Ghost! You must have only 25 letters in your alphabet cause you ain't got no D!!” crows the Silver Surfer.
“Best 2 outa 3! Come on!” Asks Xemnu.
Surfer glances up at the Earth looming above the horizon. Focusing his cosmic perception on that remote portion of the great Northwesthe notices that the maneuverings continue and eagerly agrees, foreseeing that he will once again lay the smack-down on the slower Xemnu in the interesting game of micro-G Bball.
Xemnu tries a little smack talk of his own: “Now you will become the Bride of Xemnu!" checking the boulder back to Surfer. Surfer looks afraid.
Meanwhile back inside the party continues… The Talking Dictionary stares up at Captain C.
“Actually, a majority of human males keep their brains below their belts…”
Across the room, The guardian creates a green garden hose and washes off his chowder stained robes, and stares at the door leading to a back room, through which Gaia has just disappeared with Mr. Mxyzptlk….
Back at the view screens, Firestorm, the Nuclear Man, appraises the situation with a abrupt nod of his head and a derisive snort.
The Watcher agrees. “This Bickering amongst the forces of good aids no one. They must harness all their will to beat such a foe as is arrayed against them. The Division amongst their enemies will only last until the first blow falls. After the battle commences I doubt that bane fellow will begrudge a ride from an ally.”
Firestorm takes a swig of his uranium cocktail and belches. “Yeah. They better light the fires and kick the tires Big Daddy!”
Odin stares at firestorm aghast. “Didst thou actually quote from ‘Top Gun’????? Just for that I hope Tom Cruise plays you in the movie!”
Firestorm: “NNNNOOOOOOOoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

blastaar (P9)picked up my hyde (P10)and moved
to blah blah
blastaar is on elevated terrain mr hyde isnt
even trying to adjust mr hyde does not have enough move to run up the ladder and be adjacent to blastaar when he takes off
Brazillia
doombot (L16) picks up cheater piece (M16)and moves to (R13) and drops cheater piece on (R14)
Wrong!! Harley is standing there
so in kirsarges case im assuming that blastaar simply moved on to (V 10) with out hyde
and hyde is still on (P10) sucking down coronas
in brazils case
im assuming doombot flew to (R13) without firelord and stayed there because no ones there to carry me away CALGON
so as soon as someone (im assuming jacinB being on the opposing team) makes a decision we can all update our maps at home and i can get on with telling our Hero's story

"Do you get the feeling that the men over there are... avoiding me?" She Hulk asks as she observes the careful distance the villans seems to be trying to maintain. "Come on Janet, I don't smell THAT bad!"
"Um, Jen, I think they are more afriad of your punch than your pungence." Wasp says trying not to grin.
"Oooh." She Hulk says, looking much relieved. "Well in that case, let's bring the fight to them.
With that Wasp gets a firm hold on She Hulk and flys towards the enemy.
"So you decided to stop giving me the silent treatment!" Nightcrawler says exuberently. "Why do you want me to move?"
"JUST MOVE!" Nightwing and Batman shout in unison.
"Ok, ok." Nightcrawler says with a wink ;)
With that he takes stock of the battle field and suddenly dissapears with a BAMF! Leaving Batman and Nightwing in a cloud of sulpherous vapor.
"OH, I see pretty boy." Tanya says in a teasing voice. "You're afraid that us being here will attract unwanted attention.
"Well, newsflash boy wonder." Nikki says. "We are tired and are not going anywhere this turn." She then, seeing Robin's annoyance, winks at Tanya.
"Hey Hawkeye. How's it going?" Black Panther says. "Sorry to ditch you... again. But I got to run. Talk to you later." He says with a jaunty flip of his cape.

Hey, shavo ... as far as your post of 'rules violations' goes, I'd agree.
As there is, as you pointed out, no real way to 'correct' the moves, I'd suggest that the figures involved in the illegal moves be placed back where they started just as if they'd have been moved to an 'illegal' square.
So, if that's agreeable to all involved, that would be my suggestion.
Kirsarge

Fine with me. I'd just like to note that my team does not drink Mexican beer. Only Canadian. So Hyde is at P10, yes?
Team Evil has been punnished for their flagrant attempts at cheating. (Evil boys will be evil boys).
In both cases two Taxi violations occured. Since the figure doing the Taxiing, attempted to drop or pick up it's payload illegally, it's action is illegal. Even though it landed in a legal spot, part of it's action was placing or picking up a figure. Since this was done illegally, that makes that whole figure's action void. All 4 offending figures are moved back to thier original positions, and are given "Pass Actions". Since Firelord's subequent move is consequently illegal. It is returned as well to it's original postion.
Updated map (http://staceymyers/mike)
As it wouldn't be kosher to take advantage of my undone move, I will redo that move as it was originally planned.
Actions:
Doombot from L-16 carries Firelord and moves to R-13, dropping Firelord at S-13.
Firelord then picks up the Doombot and moves to EE-8 dropping The Doombot off at EE-7.
All others pass.
Final Positions:
Doctor Doom - CC-5
Avalanche - DD-5
E-Doombot CC-6
Bullseye DD-6
Doombot EE-7 @
Firelord EE-8 @
Sorry for no clever dialog with today's move, I'm sick as a dog.

“Second Verse, Same as the First”
Blastaar is confused. He clearly remembers picking up the lummox Hyde and flying towards the bluffs, but now he finds himself hovering over the roof of the ranch house. Also, he is sure he saw Firelord (also known as “The Yellow Dart” in the Negative Zone) among the rocks as well, but now he is near the pool. “Hmm…the enemy must have some kind of mind-altering device,” he thinks. “Now time is wasting away, and I must hurry to battle! But first, I should warn the others about the device.”
“Allies!” bellows Blastaar, “Beware the one who carries the Thought-Scrambler Ray! They must be in league with Annihilus!” With that, he hollers to Hyde, “Hyde! Up here, you fool. Join me on the rooftop and I will bring you to battle and the death of our enemies!” Seeing that Hyde is staring up with a blank look, Blastaar sighs. “And cactus. I shall bring you to the cactus.”
Hyde, who has recently vomited, grins like an idiot. “Hmmmmm,” he growls, “boot and rally.” He remembers his love of cactus, and climbs the nearby ladder, stopping next to Blastaar. Blastaar grabs him and flies off towards the bluffs.
Meanwhile, Dr. Octopus has regained his composure, and takes off after Sandman and Vulture, muttering to himself…”They will listen to me. I will lead my team to victory over the hated Spider-Man. And I will make Sandman and Vulture listen to me. Because I’m good enough, I’m smart enough, and dog gone it, people like me.”
Mr. Hyde climbs up to Q9 @.
Blastaar grabs Hyde and flies to V6 @.
Dr. Octopus scuttles to C19 @.

Help him what? If he's out of toilet paper again, he's gotta figure that out on his own.
With a flash of light the immortal Q suddenly arrives. He is dressed in the costume of THE MINUTEMAN.
"Have I missed anything?" Q asks flambouyently. "Oh, I see that I have missed something, blast. Good thing we immortals can do something about that." With a snap of his fingers he sends the offending units (the misplaced Taxis) back to their starting areas where they appear with a flash. "Much better."
With another snap of his fingers a large comfortable couch (Sporting a huge Marvel Logo) appears. He settles himself down into the couch before snapping his fingers again. This time Captain Jean Luc Picard of the Enterprize appears sitting in the chair dressed in a ridiculous looking spandex costume.
"So glad you could join us mon capitain." Q says with a smirk. "We are about to witness overblown goodness take on overblown badness."
A lightbulb appears above his head and he snaps his fingers again,this time wearing the costume of a booky. "Bets anyone?"

Kirsarge, it costs an extra point of movment to go up the ladder. This means it's not possible for Mr. Hyde to get adjacent to Blastaar in order to be carried this turn. (To go from S-10 to S-9 would require 2 points of movement. Hence Hyde runs out of movement at R-9.)
"Third verse same as the first."
Kirsarge
02/25/2003, 16:43
I actually thought of that before I posted the move but I couldn't find the rule stating that it costs a move action to go up the ladder. I checked the rules and the FAQ. Where is this rule? And can I fix my move sometime before midnight?
But, Hyde could always just walk up there and stand around munching on his m*life s'more. And your taxi could spend a turn moving to get next to Hyde, and then you could rest for a turn (to avoid pushing), and then you could do that move.
'Course, that means that he wouldn't actually get to move to where you were going to move him until ... well, Saturday's turn. But, that's pretty much as soon as you could do it anyway without pushing someone.
See last line of the "Clear Terrain" section of the original rule book. Page 17. "Climbing up or down ladders adds 1 square to the character's movment cost."
In a flash Bane's world seems to change. One second he was plummeting towards a patch of briars, the next he was standing back in the parking lot. Next to him Manbat seemed equally disoriented. It streched its wings and considered itself to make sure nothing was broken. Bane glanced down at the solid ground under his feet, and then glanced over at Manbat.
Bane grinned.
His arms moved in a sudden blur and easily clamped around the mutated creature's throat. Bane picked it up, leaving its feet dangling over a foot from the ground as he lifted it to eye level.
"It is time you and I spoke of stratagy..."
Hyde dropped the keg with a clattering clang. He lifted his misshapen head slowly and stared at the bluffs beyond the fence. Then he stared at the Joker and his cronies.
"Mr. Jay," notes Harley with concern, "that big guy is looking over here. I don't like it, he creeps me out and gives me the heebie-jeebies."
Hyde turns to stare at the cactus on the bluffs.
"Eh?" Joker lowers the periscope and glances over his shoulder at Hyde who is quiet clearly appreciating the flora and fauna of the land that will be The Bat's graveyard. He turns to Harley. "Don't distract me with stupid lies," he mutters before returning to his spying.
Hyde stares back at team Joker.
"He's doing it again," came Harley's hushed whisper as she nervously grabs at Joker's arm and tugged. "I'm really, really scared, he doesn't look happy!"
Hyde turns to stare at the fence even as Joker looks back at him. Joker pauses for a minute, considering the situation, and then soundly knocks Harley across the head with her periscope, breaking it.
"Ow!"
As Harley holds her head and sniffles she notes Mr. Hyde staring at them again. He grunts and frowns and then starts moving. She shivers nervously, but thankfully the brute seems to wander over towards the ladder set against the building. She let out a sigh of relief.
"Jeez, at least I feel safer now." Then a large hand clamps down on her shoulder.
"Little clown not be scared, Solomon Grundy protect her. Solomon Grundy stronger then the SUper Friends!"
Harley decided she had spoken too soon.
Meanwhile Manbat lifted into the air again, only now Bane's hand pointed out to it where he wanted to go. His eyes scanned the battlefield as he considered the oncoming forces. The Bat nd the brat were hanging back, obviouslly frightened of him. But that was of no matter; his eyes gleamed as he considered the other figures.
There would be victims enough for everyone this day.
I mourn the deficiency of evil flyers for DC (I knew I shoulda shelled out the points for a Weather Wizard; if for nothing else then his hair style.)

"Dammit," Batman said, watching the battle between She-Hulk and her six-armed opponent.
"Why did they advance all the way up there?" Nightwing asked. "Don't they realize they're supposed to be part of a team here?"
Batman shook his head, "No, and they underestimated the enemy."
"Can't we help them?" Robin asked.

"I don't see how we've got a choice," Batman said. "I'll go. You go help Spider-Man with the Joker until I can get there."
Nightwing nodded. "Will do. Robin, you're with me."
Robin sprung from his spot in the bushes, thumbing his nose at the medics he'd been arguing with.
Batman dropped out of his tree and ran toward across the desert toward the surprised Nightcrawler. "Get ready to take her out," Batman said, as he flipped completely over Nightcrawler, fired a number of batarangs at Spiral, knocking the swords out of her hands, and landed in the bush nearby ...
"Wasp Sting!" Batman shouted.
"How does he know about that?" She-Hulk asked, holding her wounded arm.
"Guess he does his research," Wasp answered ...

Out of Charactor, in case anyone was wondering why I did my apperently stupid move last turn it is actually twofold. First I was hoping Spiral would roll lower, if for instance she had rolled a pair of threes She Hulk would of taken a mere two damage. Secondly everyone is staying just out of each others range, SOMEONE has to move into range to get things going, guess that someone turned out to be me ;) anyways on to the action
"OUCH!" She Hulk roars a Spiral's Blades tear at her tough hide. Spiral's blades whirl through the air not stopping until her arms are exhausted; She Hulk is battered and bloody.
Wasp crys out "Oh no! Jen... are you ok."
Amazingly She Hulk gets up flicking blood out of her eyes and glaring at Spiral. "You'll pay for that." She says very menacingly.
Wasp sees Tanya and Nikki jumping up and down waving med packs clearly excited about the prospect of being able to heal someone."
Wasp is faced with a tough decison. Pull out the extremely damaged She Hulk and run back to the medics, who with some luck, should be able to put here back in her prime. Or to push the attack and try and take down Spiral. As Spiral is exhausted for the moment she takes a minute to think.
Thinking hard Wasp thinks she sees a way to pull the classic Pistol Pete trick (do both things at once). She grasps She Hulk's bloody shoulders and struggles to lift her from the ground. One of Spiral's six arms reachs up to grab Wasp, only to find itself numbed by a bio blast. Wasp breaks free and carrys She Hulk towards the safety of the medics.
She Hulk bellows, "Janet! What on earth are you doing? I must bash that Spiral woman!"
"You idiot." Wasp responds cooly, "She'll kill you. She if the "medics" can do anything for you then come back to the fight.
"All right Janet, I did vote you to be the boss, but I sure wish that we had some more medicinal medics."
She Hulk amazingly (after the beating she has taken) leaps and bounds up to Tanya and Nikki.
"Ok girls, time to earn your pay." She Hulk says in a suspicious tone.
"COOL!" They both shout in Unison.
"Ok, let me see what I got here." Tanya says rumaging in her bag. She Hulks eye's bulge as she spots what could be a jar of leaches.
"Here!" Tanya shouts," GRT!"
"Gert?" She Hulk says suspiciously.
"Gama Replacement Treatment." Tanya says matter of factly.
"Oh, well get too it."
Tanya applies the hypo and nothing happens. She carefully reads the label. "Oooh, Grundy Repelant Tranquilizer. Sorry about that."
Nikki pulls out another suspicious looking bottle and applys it.
She Hulk is knocked to the ground by the huge jolt of energy that surges through her. "WOW! What is that."
Nikki giggles nervously, "Um, don't ask, I wasn't supposed to use that."
"Well whatever it was... I am ready to KICK SOME MULTI AMRED BUTT!"
Meanwhile Wasps pants out, "Nightcrawler! Hit that sick woman!"
Wittnessing the brutal beating of She Hulk has made Nighcrawler very serous. "Will do." He mutters as his face turns truly demonic looking. He suddenly BAMFs out of existance reapearing right next to Spiral.
"HEY" He shouts causing her to turn around. SMACK! This three fingers leave three red whelts on Sprial's face. "Toodles." He says before she can react and vanishes again.

As near as I can tell, they're right where they started.
You can't pick up Hyde with Blastaar as he's not adjacent. Hyde doesn't have the range to get adjacent.
So, as Hyde couldn't get to where you wanted to put him, that's an illegal move ... placing him back at where he started.
Since Blastaar couldn't carry Hyde, and that was a part of your move, that too was illegal and he was placed back at the starting point ... unless you want to move him without Hyde in which case if everyone on the Good Side agrees you can go ahead and send him on his way, leaving Hyde where he is.

p.s. Brazil, are we getting a new map today? And are you keeping all the earlier versions of the maps? Just curious.
I would have outwitted Toughness before I attacked, however Nightcrawler interfered with LOS. I would have moved Panther then outwitted, but that would have pushed him causing him to lose outwit. So I figured Nightcrawler would do some damage and get out of the way, then outwit Spiral (in case any other good players had not yet went and wanted a crack at her) And I must say that turn of mine accomplished what I wanted.
A. Got the action flowing.
B. Got team good mixing it up before the misplaced evil units could catch up.
C. Has the added benifit of Spiral away from the rest of her team, waiting for us to pounce at least I hope ;)
Anyways this is fun
Samurai
Okay, rules question:
We've Outwitted Spiral's BCF and her Toughness with two different people.
When do those Outwit's go away? At the start of Team Good's next turn, or at the start of the individual player's turn?
For instance, if Batman wanted to attack her and I posted before Samurai posted again, could he attack her and do full damage saving his Outwit for something else or would he have to first Outwit her Toughness himself?
Hachiman : Zzzzzzzzznxxx! Something's happening!? Oh, wait, it's unhappening... Zzzzzzznx! Something new! Oops, it's not sticking either! Zzzzzzzznxx! Aaah! Finally, blood is spilled! Even if it is left to the women to spill it. Perhaps the battle will now rage with the fury its potential promised -- if these foolish mortals can only reckon where they are correctly and stop wandering in circles! Blind heroes might have better luck!
Or you could just wait until I take my turn before you take yours, as Black Panther can outwit then.

Just my two cents, but I think Outwit should last until the end of the opposing side's move. That is, If Batman outwits something in the second "Team Good" move on day 1, the outwit will last through the third and fourth moves on day 1, as well as all "Team Evil" moves on day 2. Once the sun rises on Day 3, the outwit is gone. This keeps the spirit of the rule, I think.
But then, I'm the guy who can't get Blastaar and Hyde away from the dad-gummed pool, so what do I know?

I agree with Kirsage. He seems reasonable, if not movement-challenged. If you are all acting as one force for good, and one for evil, it should turn off after evil has acted and good is all primed and ready to go. But no one ever listens to me. But that'll change after i finish my giant evil robot. BWAHAHAHA_BWHAHAAHA

I know I am just watching the match, but I think that the best way to handle outwits is
if you were the second team to move on team good and you outwitted something, then the outwit will last until the second team good begins its action.
because if you were the last team for good to play, it kinda makes your outwit useless.
Just my honest opinion of someone who is new to Heroclix (playing for 3 months)
thanks for the great match so far.
OSH
I've got to agree with Kirsage on the outwit thing. It is designed to last for your turn and your opponents turn. We shouldn't allow it to extend on into the next turn after that, otherwise someone could actually gain the benefit out outwitting two things at once...actually I think there would be all kinds of twisted itterations.
Applogies for not getting the map out, I spent all of yesterday in bed with a fever, runny nose, swollen eyes, headache, alternating cold and hot flashes, basicly it was not fun being me yesterday. So....anyway I'm back today...I'll take my turn and post the updated map shortly.

Brazil - I think there is a problem with the map. In my last move, Doctor Octopus moved to C19, in what I assume is a legal move. Can I get confirmation that that is his position before I post my move?

Blastaar, who is just hideously frustrated with Mr. Hyde, uses a popular Negative Zone technique to calm himself down. Specifically, he atomizes a passing sparrow. His thirst for destruction momentarily quenched, Blastaar flies down and prepared to wring Mr. Hyde's neck.
Meanwhile, across the pond (or pool), Dr. Octopus lurches forward on his mechanical legs towards the river and Magneto's crew. "Follow me, you cretins," he yells, as he pushes on.
Sandman and Vulture, convinced that Doc Ock is a man of action, and impressed at the destroyed cars that Doc Ock trampled, shrug their shoulders and comply. Vulture carries Sandman to the river, and carefully drops him on the far bank.
"Sandman, scout ahead and find someone worthy of our attentions." (Dr. Octopus makes his leadership roll) Sandman, listening to Doc Ock's command, heads down the road, looking for his first victim.

Edit: Reduced Sandman's move to legal distance.
Um, except that Sandman's movement is halved because he is moving out of Hindering terrain and couldn't get all the way to where you ended his movement, it looks good. :)
I'm pretty sick and not feeling 100% these days so it is entirely (or perhaps I should say "more likely than usual" that I'll make a mistake, so double check your figures positions on the map and please report any anomolies to me and I'll correct them.

Batman watches Spiral reaching for her swords and then smirks, drawing another set of batarangs from his belt. "Nightwing."
"Got him," Nightwing answered. He threw a tiny sphere at Magneto, which the exploded emitting an electro-magnetic pulse. "Mutants. Whatever."
Batman then threw his batarangs, not at Spiral, but at the two androids that had been carrying the rest of the team into position, however the branch underneath him gave way and he fell to the ground.
"Catwoman. Huntress," Nightwing said, watching Batman fall from the tree. "Get over there to help."
"On the move," Huntress answered.
"How's your tea, Alfred." Batman said into the comm-system, picking himself up off of the ground.

Hawkeye was just a little ashamed at letting Batman try to take on a whole team by himself.
"At least he's doing a nice job of it," he said to himself, "Too bad I won't let him have all the fun!"
Hawkeye took a running start, nearing some bushes.
"Incoming, Bat!" he yelled, hoping to get the Dark Knight's attention.
Hawkeye stopped near some bushes and fired at the two robots hovering around Davey.
The shots fire off, but the Doombot's quickly notice it. And using magnetics, send the bolts firing back at Hawkeye, catching him in the arm.
Wolverine sniffs the enemies out.
"I'm going on ahead, you wiat here for Blue Boy," he said to Thor.
Seeing the troops arriving, Spider-Man makes a break for it.

Davey Cannon drops his pants and moons both the pointy eared cupcake and the the purple power puff girl with both his attack butt cheeks.

I've already finsihed my move. As for the dice server, Brazil helped me out, but I think next time, we should go by a different, less confusing one that I've found (and it doesn't seem to roll so many critical misses.).
Both corrected moves now look legal. The map has been updated. Sorry about the bad rolls. <insert evil Doctor Doom laugh here>
Shin-Goji, this is the 11th total turn, 6 for good 5 for evil.

The empty expanse of lunascape stretches out before your eyes. Craters and dust, boulders and basalt, brilliant light and deepest dark all compete for your attention. But over the horizon is a much more stirring sight. A blue and white marble poised against the starry sky like a jewel on a velvet drape. The aura of life pulses through your expanded senses. You know they’re there as you know there is life here on the moon, deep beneath your feet. And yet this is not enough to fully capture your attention. No. For all your attention is focused on a much more interesting diversion. There. Just above those plains, sunward side of those mountains. You see? Look closer. Below the snow capped peaks in amongst the lush greenery of the forested mountains. There. Yes.
There on the side of a mountain range lies a battlefied. Warriors exchange blows and maneuvers. Jockeying for position, testing the boundaries of what they can and can’t do… and re-do… and so on. You scry their positions, but hark. They have changed. Verily these warrior battle on several planes of reality, stalking each other in realms out of sight and mind.
There! See! Blood is drawn… no wait… your perceptions are so skewed you can’t be sure. But, Yes. There IS some damage done, unfortunately, most of seems to have been done by the warriors themselves. That archer and the dark one in the cowl. You cringe for them. They are not done however, not by a long shot, and neither are their opponents. And yet like Heisenberg, you feel uncertain. Like Kant and Hume, you question the reality of your perceptions. You drop a rock on the moon and there is no sound, are you even there to hear it? Panic grips. You question your own existence. You….

LOL. I can hardly agree more. Shame to see that now there's not going to be a Joker vs. Batman chance anymore, but I can hardly say I'm sad to see the flying rodent taken out of my misery. Though I think Jacin just got *hosed* on that re-roll. Joker team move to come soon...

Thor.
"Wait a minute!" Joker shoves Harley off him as he hops up and down in frustration. "Bats is down! I just saw that idiot with a green toilet bowel on his head puree Batman into doggy chow!"
"Gee," said Harley with a shrug, "your arch-nemesis is down, and possibly dead. Yeah, there's *no* way this can be taken as a good thing."
You just don't understand these things, Harl," sighed Joker. "There's a certain level of class and drama associated with calling someone your arch-enemy. I was supposed to meet him on the rooftop of this building as it was engulfed in flames so we could battle hand to hand as I alerted him to the bombs I had filled the house with." Joker sighed and pulled out a detonator. "Oh well..."
He chucked it over his shoulder. Harley squealed as she lunged out to grab it before it hit the ground or bounced into the pool. With a relieved sigh she popped it open and removed the batteries.
"Solomon Grundy sees a man that's a spider. Solomon Grundy read the man that is a spider's file, knows *all* his powers and knows Solomon Grundy is stronger then man spider...what was his name, Solomon Grundy forgets..."
"Spider-man," cackled Joker with glee as he glanced around the wall. "Oh, goody, this is just what I needed to put a smile back on my face!" Giggling maniacally Joker peered around the wall and taunted Spider-man. "Tell me, spider-boy" he asked, "are you ready to face me?"
"Don't see why not," quipped Spider-man, "I never had any childhood problems with clowns."
"Good! Then it'll be just you and I, mano a mano, wit to wit and fist to fist. Just you, and me, and...BANE!"
"I hate spiders," said Bane as Manbat dropped down from above. Even as he raised his hands to strike Harley let loose a small pistol that shot streamers and sparkles into the air. The wave of color and light distracted Spider-man, who glanced over, wondering what was happening. Though the blast distracted Bane from using a Mexican Death-grip, it didn't prevent him from smashing Spidey upside the head with a blow that sent the stunned superhero sailing.
"Oof!" Spiderman grunted weakly as he felt himself smack up against something. He glanced over his shoulder. "Aw...####."
"Solomon Grundy smash you man who is a spider whose name I don't know! Solomon Grundy is stronger then spider people!" The blow came raining down hard, Spiderman felt the crushing annoyance of being struck by a Doom statue shortly before he felt the crushing pain of the statue itself.
"Holy cow," laughed Rooster, "the spider don't look too hot."
"Yup," agreed Snake with a grin. Both criminal's raised their guns and chuckled.

My thoughts on the turn: My plan had been to jump Spider-man and deal with his evil high starting values. I opted to perplex Bane thinking a 6 was better odds then a 7, and not wanting to put Spider-boy onto outwit so I could then move in Joker to outwit l/c and poison him to death. Then I got that critical. ::shrug:: Oh well, it made Solomon Grundy happy I guess, and it did 7 clicks of damage to Spider-man, so I'm feeling pretty good about it. The eerie thing is that it almost looks like I set Grundy and the others up to "catch" SPider-man, almost as though I *knew* I'd get knock-back... ::cue eerie music::

Yes Davey Cannon is none other than the Hero of this story Whirlwind.
Hank Pym is/was goliath/antman/yellowjacket MR. personality crisis. Whirls archenemy.
Janet vandyne is wasp or the chick he (whirls)digs who happened to be married to mr personality crises at one time.
Whirls has never come across Batman so ergo he doesnt know who bats is ergo the pointy eared one.
if you havent noticed im trying to write from his (whilrs)perspective...which has been difficult for ones own meager writing skills.

"Oh wait Blastaar, theres a ..Robin??? over there"
Davey Cannon bends over the limp lifeless body. "So your new. Lets take a look behind that mask of yours." Rolling the body over and wipping the combination of blood and drool from the mask Davey Cannon unveils the caped crusader. "DANG!, I was kinda hopping for yet another personality of Hank Pym. If only I could have been so lucky. Your just another pretty-boy schmuck in a costume. Well lets see what else you got on ya. HMmmm....Car keys, bugspray, Zap-a Gap...(must be for when he comes off his base), WHHHOOAAHHH ...and a picture of Joker and Harley in an unusual pose with a water buffalo."
:eek:
Joker: (Looks directly into camera) I did not have sexual relations with that water buffalo. Nor did I give it gifts or coerce it in any way with the power of my office.
Harley: I named it Bubbles!
Do to technical difficulties Doctor Doom and the D-Team will be passing this turn. It's about 30 seconds to midnight, and I just got home. Not much time to throw together a move....espacially since I'm crippled on the wife's computer. However, I see Spiderman has been KO'd for trespassing on the lawn. And Batman took one for the team too....so I'll just pass this turn and maybe there'll still be someone for me to kill Monday.

Man, don't do that to me! For half an instant I was thinking; "Aw geez, I *didn't* give the guy his spider sense roll! Oh man, I feel like a cheater! Can I lie and say I rolled them for him? But I didn't send out the rolls! Maybe he could roll now...aw man!"
Oh wait, then I remembered they didn't give Spider-man the super senses power. I really wonder how that ever happened (and am happy they did create some other versions with it.) So, from now on there shall be no comments that affect Thor when he hasn't had enough sleep. (Verily forsooth!)
Regards from Team Evil,
Thor.

Maybe Team Good is trying to figure out how to bring in some Xplosion reinforcements?

Y'know, considering that ol' "fearless leader" is out there guardng Harley's petite backside from the spots where Thor *and* Superman happen to be hanging around...well heck, if he can deal with those two I'm more then willing to call it even for me beating around Spider-man and Shavo shredding the Bat.
"Batman is down," Robin said into the comm-unit, a hint of worry creeping into his voice.
"I've got dibs on 'Taz'," Nightwing said.
"Someone oughta tell Warner Brothers that moron is dangerously close to violating their copyrights," Catwoman offered.
Nightwing whistled and then shouted "HEY! Aren't you DAVEY CANNON!?"
As the man turned to look, Nightwing hurled one of his escrima fighting sticks at the human tornado, catching the man at the base of his neck and striking the nerve just where Nightwing had intended. The man's 'whirlwind' of motion stopped suddenly as his arms both went numb.
"That oughta slow him down," Robin said.
Catwoman readied her whip, "Just let me know when I get my shot at him ..."
***
Results:
Batman is KO'd.
Which, while I give shavo credit for actually doing the deed, was helped along immensly by a crucial critical miss that would have prevented him from being able to even move into position last turn. But, I digress ...
Nightwing Outwits Whirlwind's Energy Shield and bashes him for 3 clix from range.
Everyone else clears.
JacinB is wondering where the rest of Team Good is right about now ...
Batman - KO'd dangit
Nightwing - CC25 {Outwit: Whirlwind's ES/D} @
Robin - DD30
Catwoman - DD31
Huntress - EE31
Medic - TT44
Wasp glances accross the battlefield. "Things certainly have heated up. Jen? You feeling better?"
"Oh yeah!" She Hulk replies with a big grin, "Real ready."
"Get over here then" Wasp says, "We got some butt to kick."
"Roger." She Hulk says as she bounds over to Wasp.
Black Panther springs into action, or rather, trys to as his cape catches on the thorn bushes as he leaps from his cover. "Blast!"
After much tugging of black fabric he finally gets where he wants to be. Lining up his wrist launcher with Spiral he fires a shot that liquifies her armor. "Have at her Nightcrawler!" He Shouts
"Will do." Nightcrawler replies with a wink, and with a BAMF he is off.
Arriving in front of Spiral he attempts to attack her only to find his tail fouled in one of her many arms. "Blast!" He says and vanishes in a BAMF!
Nikki and Tanya break out power bars.
She Hulk freemoves to CC36
Black Panther Freemoves to W37 and outwits Spiral's Toughness
Nightcrawler moves 8 squares to S30 and attack Spiral, misses by one. Then moves to S35

I didn't make my move for two reasons:
1. By the time I thought of something to do, time was up.
2. As interesting as this game is, it's really lacking on the fun, to be quite honest.

Now, you and I both know that if I hadn't critically missed on that Incapacitate roll against the DoomBots ... yada yada yada.
