We know that's not true. JoH was Jailkept two Nights ago and we saw that happen in the write-up when my giant arm seperated Thor and his target. If you'd Guided him, JoH would've still nailed Quebbster (that's why I asked whom JoH targeted but didn't want him admitting failure. The write-up implied Hank breaking up a fight between Thor and another Avenger and I was trying to figure if that was just to keep us from write-up copping Thor's target or if Quebbs was an Avenger. Jack got where I was headed, ergo the short hand speak.)

Sorry let me phrase that better: JoH was Jailkept by me and if you were a Guide you wouldn't have Failed to target him, traditionally.

Though I guess it's quite possible adamical doesn't let a Guide through a Jailkeep...

Considering I don't let a guide through a Jailkeep when I mod, I thought it was rather obvious that JoH was JKed. I treat it as rev-RB+RB+doc. So I would have been locked out.

I succeeded last night.

I'm Thor.

I took out Link.

Oh, but I totally failed to kill Quebbs the other day.


And should read the entire thread before posting stupid things.

Sadly, my power hasn't lead to much - except for the lucky MD on RP that helped us get the SK. Though I do take some pride in the fact that I haven't MD'd anyone who has turned up town. First time with a misdirect power, so I've tried to be careful.

Day 6

"It is done! Phase One is complete! Now to find The Avengers and begin Phase Two! For they will be the real test! If I can destroy The Avengers single-handed, then no power on Earth can stop the total invasion by my people! I have been observing them from space! I know where they are at this moment! I shall cause The Avengers to fight among themselves...to destroy themselves!"

A teenager approaches this strange misshapen being, perceiving a problem: "There is something wrong with you...I know it!"

"There is more wrong than you dream, human fool! For I am the Space Phantom...the one who can imitate any living being!! Two beings who are exactly the same cannot occupy the same world! So, when I take any creature's identity, that creature is instantly transported to Limbo... the place of nothingness... until I take a new shape! As for the boy, he is of no further concern! There is nothing he can do to stop me!"

The young lad thought to himself, "He's leaving! What do I do now? What can I do?" Rick Jones sets out, and manages to find a HAM radio. "Calling Giant-Man! Calling Giant-Man! Do you read me Giant-Man?!! An Alien called The Space Phantom is running loose! Need your help!!"

And, in the lab of the astonishing Henry Pym... "He called Giant-Man rather than Ant-Man, so it must be a top-priority emergency!" Before heading out, Dr. Pym rings the medical office of another doctor, Don Blake! Satisfied that he is safe from prying eyes, the lame, mild-looking doctor stamps his walking stick once upon the floor, and then a strong, commanding voice rings out, "Who summons the God of Thunder?"

Following up to the minute news reports, Thor and Giant-Man converge on Tony Stark's munitions factory! Splitting up once inside, the Giant-Man doesn't notice an astonishing change taking place behind him... "I no longer need my spider shape! I see a far better one to borrow! Farewell, Giant-Man! Now I, the Space Phantom, shall continue where I left off!"
"I'm whirling into another dimension...a shadowy, silent world!"

But another being has witnessed this transformation! "I saw it, too! I don't know how you took over Giant-Man's body...but that must be what happened to me, too!" "So! My secret is out! Well, no matter! I realize now that I have no need for secrecy!" "Did you think you could prowl the streets of New York impersonating ME without my own Spider-Sense warning me of your presence?! I followed you silently, waiting to learn what your scheme was! Now I know! You're out to destroy the Avengers! Well, I'm no professional do-gooder, but...*UGHHH!*" The Spider-Man has pattered too long, as the bogus Giant Man knocks him off his feet! "Do all Earthlings talk so much?? What a waste! You forget, Spider-Man, I was given all the powers and strength of the one I possess!" "Well, you sure have a forceful way of remindin' a fella" quips Spider-Man as he sticks a landing on the back wall of the factory.

Moving with unexpected speed, the alien in the double-sized human body drives Anthony Stark's latest invention, a tank-like moon tractor, straight towards the waiting Spider-Man: "You dare threaten the Space Phantom?!!" "Yeah...I dare!" Spider-Man zips a webline at the tractor, and using the centrifugal counter-momentum and his spider-strength, is able to redirect its trajectory back at the large imposter. "Ha! I am agile enough to leap to safety... but Thor is not!"

Thor sees the giant tractor flying towards him at breakneck speed, and begins whirling his uru hammer in front of him, successfully pulverizing the hunk of machinery on contact. "Now the battle reaches its final phase! Once I have vanquished you, Thor, all of Earth will feel the fury of the attack by the phantoms from space!" "Not so, thou braggart! Earth is under my protection... This I have pledged with my life! Behold how the fury of the storm is mine to command! See how the very elements obey my will!!" "Such over-confidence will cause your downfall, the same as it did the others! I can imitate anyone I choose! And so, for the final indignity to you, I choose your body, Thor! And I sentence you now to...Limbo!"

But, no sooner are the words spoken, than the totally unexpected occurs...! "No! This is impossible! I-I'm going to Limbo instead of you! B-but how??" "Your power only affects humans! But I am the God of Thunder!" And, as the Space Phantom's power backfires against him, the real Giant-Man returns from Limbo...having been replaced by the awesome alien himself! "I-I'm back!" "It is ended, Giant-Man! We have won!" "But what happens when the Space Phantom returns?" asked Spider-Man. "He's not likely to," replies Giant-Man, "He'll have to remain in Limbo until someone comes to replace him!"

spworldtour has been defeated! He was The Space Phantom (Mafia), a misshapen servant of Immortus who has been banished back to Limbo!

A misshapen being lands at the foot of Immortus' time fortress, between an armored man and a zen figure.

"So it was you who began interfering with my equipment when Kang and I were defeated, yes? Do you realize what you could have done? Time itself nearly unraveled! Fortunately for us all, the Avengers were able to send you back to Limbo, where time stands still! Here, we were able to correct the disruptions in the timestream before reality itself came undone!"
"For all the good it's done us! Yet again, the Avengers have defeated us! Even working together, we were no match for them!"
"Well, if you hadn't been plotting my erasure from reality the entire time, maybe we would have had a little more focus on winning the battle!"
"Bah! You fool! I am the rightful lord of time! And I shall ensure that I never end up as a doddering old relic of academia!"

At that, Kang departs from Immortus' sanctuary in Limbo, and with his repaired time ship, returns to a thousand years in Earth's future, to once again plot against . . . The Avengers!

Jackofhearts2005 has won the game! He was Thor (Town), the God of Thunder sworn to protect the Earth and its inhabitants!

Rokk_Krinn has won the game! He was Ant-Man/Giant-Man (Town), a multi-sized adventurer and scientist who unraveled the mystery!

Immortal_Raven has won the game! He was Rick Jones (Town), teenage sidekick to multiple Avengers and a frequent guest in their early days!

KrisL has won the game! He was Spider-Man (Town), the wall-crawling arachnid whose popularity inspired guest appearances throughout Marvel Comics!

Yeah, I had you pegged for Thor awhile ago. And congratz to us, we won.

I'm curious to see all the roles and I must say adam did a rather good job.

Thanks to everybody for playing! And thanks also to DarqFeonix and ChiRocker for looking over my setup beforehand and helping me balance things out!

I also want to take the time to retroactively attribute much of my write-ups to Stan the Man Lee! I was going for the authentic Silver Age flavor, and so did my best to adapt the actual early Avengers comics into the writeups. The game events actually largely mirrored the comic events, so it was easier than I thought it would be!

I would have attributed credit sooner, but I didn't want to give away too many hints, but Rokk pretty much figured it out pretty early on. For most of the game, he was really on the ball and in my head, so props to him. I also want to give props to spworldtour, who was standing his ground alone for quite some time! It would have been a very sad game indeed if he had just thrown in the towel.

So once again, thanks to all for playing! It's definitely been a learning experience and a lot of fun. I'll post the roles and night happenings tomorrow, but in the meantime, feel free to ask me any questions. Also, all compliments, comments, criticisms, and complaints are very much welcomed.

Oh, and lastly, sorry about the delays toward the end. I hated to stall the endgame, but I just couldn't get things together before leaving town.

Who were my targets I could have won with?

You were actually 2/3 of the way there! You had to target either 3/4 specific heroes or 3/4 specific villains. So if you had chosen 3 out of Iron Man, Thor, Ant-Man/Giant-Man, and Wasp, or 3 out of Loki, Sub-Mariner, Kang and Immortus, you would have won. I think before you died you hit Ant-Man and Iron Man, but I'll have to check my notes.

You weren't actually a Skrull. This was a side effect of time going crazy, which was caused by Kang and Immortus being defeated, leaving the Space Phantom to run amok with all of their time-traveling/manipulating whozawassits and dumaflaches. If you saw the front page during the final day phase, everyone's autopsy shifted to an alternate version of their characters, to represent time destabilizing.
