Betrayal Game 71:Discussion & Sign-Ups

[UncannyScott]

There they were. Each of them depicted upon the large screen, a mug shot taking up an entire square each. None of them were "real" in one sense. They were real people but they were not really who they were trying to be. Clones. Sidekicks. Some random picking up a mantle dropped or forgotten. Children. Alternate Dimensions. Stuck out of time. It didn't matter where they were from. All that mattered is that they were not right. Not the originals. One could not abide the change of what had come to be expected by their fans. How could someone cheer when that hero you knew and loved suddenly changed gender or color or age? It wasn't a thing of racism or sexism. No sir, it was about maintaining the status quo.

This could not stand. There were so many of them now popping up regularly. They had to be dealt with. All of them. There was a plan in place. Bring them all together, and then finish them off one by one. Yes, it was genius. Better than letting them survive and possibly ruin the integrity of the brand they were trying to uphold. Yes, it was brilliant.

"The fanboys are always right," he murmured to himself. He would know after all. His name was Fanboy, and he was correct in this. The replacements would be killed.

**

Someone isn't so happy that heroes faces and genders and similar change from time to time, wanting those originals back. So now they're about to kill off all those replacement heroes!*

As you can now guess those replacement heroes will be all of you! For character selection you can choose any version of a hero that is not the original person that had the mantle. This can be 616 replacements like Bucky Captain America, Rhodey as Iron Man, Kamala Khan becoming Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers as Captain Marvel, Ben Reilly as Spider-Man, etc. This can be other dimension versions of a character that are different from the 616 version like a Spider-Man 2099 or anything like that. It can be Clones. What If versions of a known character. Anything that makes a character different than the version of that character that originally debuted in the 616. If you have questions please ask away!

Some features of this game:
- By the end of the sign-up period, all that join may apple to be the killer and those applications will be taken into consideration when choosing our killer. In the application PM appeal, give a possible reason your character could or would be behind the killings.
- One vote will be public, and one will be private. The public vote helps in crafting your posts, to play out your characters suspicions of others. The private one can be used to play a tactical game in working out who the killer really is.
- Each round you survive you will be randomly awarded one of the following through PM: paranoia kill, a hint/clue, immunity, an extra vote, a loss of votes, told to copy the votes of another, become a shield for another character (if they get voted out/killed you take the brunt for them), a shield for yourself you can use to deflect votes away to another.

Sign-Ups will be open till Wednesday August 6 at 6:00 PM PST. If you have suggestions to add to the random awards, ways to fix one that is up there, reasons why one won't work or anything please feel free to speak about it as this is something I just thought of doing as I wrote this up so there might be some holes in it I missed.

*Note: This is not meant to insult or upset anyone that is upset about changes, it just came to me as an idea the other day after all the changes coming up and I thought it would be humorous if there was someone that took all these changes to task and tried to wipe them out as they preferred the original characters. All in good fun I assure you.*

[Wings]

Sign me up as Theresa Rourke Cassidy, the second Banshee.

[hotknives]

Rachel Grey for me please

[Liquid Nitrogen]

Put me down for Noh-Varr please!

[marhawkman]

How about April Parker?

[Wings]

She's certainly quite different from original Mayhem Brigid O'Reilly.

[MartijnB]

Could I be Death V, Horseman of Apocalypse, aka James Howlett?

EDIT: realizing the brief clearly speaks of a hero, if Horsemen of Apocalypse are a no-go I'd like Clint Barton as Goliath

[Savant]

Julia Carpenter

[UncannyScott]

Wings: Banshee II (Theresa Rourke Cassidy)
Hotknives: Rachel Grey
Liquid Nitrogen: Noh-Varr
Marhawkman: April Parker
Savant: Julia Carpenter
MartijnB: Death V/Logan

@MartijnB: Logan as Death works since he's a hero that was transformed into taking a new mantle for a bit. Fanboy is totally a fan of the original modern interpretation of Death, Archangel. Not some clawed poser!

Depending on how many other sign-ups come today and tomorrow, the sign-ups might be extended a day or two depending. The weekend start of sign-ups might have prevented some from knowing. Anyone that you know that usually plays these that hasn't signed up yet, give em a PM poke and see if maybe it's just been such a break between games they haven't noticed their back

[Gibbering Fool]

Can I get in on this? Spider Man 2099 please!

[History of Paper]

Sefton, A man duh

[Wings]

Still plenty of great picks up for grabs.Bucky, USAgent, Ben Reilly, Johnny Storm, Vision, Kate Bishop, Spectrum, Madeleyne Pryor, Mattie Franklin, War Machine, Carol Danvers, Shuri, Iron Lad, Yelena Belova, Warpath, Neal Shaara, Scott Lang, Dazzler...and that's just the tip of the iceberg,there's actually way more than I thought there was...

[das_boot]

Kate Bishop please

[Quick and Dead]

Signups still open? Does Kid Gladiator work?

[UncannyScott]

Wings: Banshee II (Theresa Rourke Cassidy)
Hotknives: Rachel Grey
Liquid Nitrogen: Noh-Varr
Marhawkman: April Parker
Savant: Julia Carpenter
MartijnB: Death V/Logan
Gibbering Fool: Spider-Man 2099
HIstory of Paper: Amanda Sefton/Magik
Das_boot: Kate Bishop/Hawkeye
Quick and Dead: Kid Gladiator

Alright there are ten people. I'll get the round up today. Each round will have three days for posting, with a bit of leeway given for the weekend rounds. How does fifteen votes to reveal sound, does that sound about right? I suck at the math for this sometimes lol. The killer will be PMed shortly. That player can craft a reason why their character would go along with Fanboy's plans.

Remember:
- One vote will be public, and one will be private. The public vote helps in crafting your posts, to play out your characters suspicions of others. The private one can be used to play a tactical game in working out who the killer really is.
- Each round you survive you will be randomly awarded one of the following through PM: paranoia kill, a hint/clue, immunity, an extra vote, a loss of votes, told to copy the votes of another, become a shield for another character (if they get voted out/killed you take the brunt for them), a shield for yourself you can use to deflect votes away to another.

[Quick and Dead]

Round one and Rachel is already being dragged through the mud. I think I'll enjoy this game.

[hotknives]

Wow.
After this is done, someone is getting a week of detentions and a guidance session with Councillor Guthrie

[Quick and Dead]

I'm going to be extremely disappointed if there isn't a telekinetic spanking scene between Rachel and Kubark in the near future of this game.

[hotknives]

I think we can manage that

[UncannyScott]

Round Two is up! Sorry for the delay, crazy last two days. Round two ends on Monday, August 25 in the evening. Once I get back from my first day back to school I'll post. All the PM's have gone out with the perks or non-perks you have been awarded for the round. Make sure to check, and use them or plan wisely against them depending on what you received.

[marhawkman]

nitpick: Mayhem isn't bonded with a Symbiote. Mayhem is basically half-symbiote-half-human. It's why she chose the name Mayhem. Symbiotes like names like that. Thus the device would have it's effect on Mayhem herself.

[Wings]

Maybe it's an effect of the cross temporal flux?

[UncannyScott]

Ah, I had always assumed she had gotten the symbiote elsewhere. I must have missed that it was bonded to her. We'll chalk it up to timey whimey stuff...yeah.

[marhawkman]

She's a clone of May Parker that Norman Osborne spliced Symbiote DNA into. In some ways, she's a symbiote that doesn't need a host. She actually can bond to people the same way a full symbiote can, but usually doesn't. And she has Spider powers.

[Gibbering Fool]

I really had no idea who April Parker was, one of marhawkman's usual obscure characters, I just read symbiotic and went with it lol. I loved the idea of Miguel getting a symbiote. I guess we can say she's a slightly different version from a different reality.
