Ooh, I hate to say this, but Storm can't be at 5/5 anymore, since she pushed on her last turn.

If you want to TK Kitty over to her, I can heal her next turn.

Gambit gave her a click of life with the X-Men TA.

What is TPK?

You guys are making quite the comeback. If you can get a lucky hit in on the Queen you'll have a decent chance.

Turn 7 c

All clear.

Oh, hey, yeah. It was after his "comment" line, so I missed it.

TPK=Total Party Kill. I thought all geeks knew that. (Although, I guess I only learned it maybe a year ago.) Also, I meant to say "is it straight victory points." Mainly what I was wondering was whether we should be so focused on killing Queenie or whether we should just try to take out the rest of the X-Brood. I think, what with DV's being what they are, it would probably be a lot easier for us to beat the little broodlings into submission than cracking the queen's mighty carapace.

Not sure whether it's kinda taboo to discuss objective victory conditions in the RPSC, but we're definitely at a pivotal point in the game right now, so which direction we go in is gonna make a serious difference.

Also, I know that take-backs are frowned upon, but since this is a team game, can you hold off on taking your next turn while I confer with my partner? I'm a teeny bit surprised by his move (or lack thereof) for this turn.

Ah, right.

Winning is really a subjective term in the RPSC, especially in games where there is no specific scenario objectives like this one. In one sense, a true win is when you manage to defeat all of your opponents without losing any yourself- therefore you can play the next game with no injuries.

But this is role-playing, so a win can be many things. A win might be simply surviving to fight another day. It might be taking down the head bad guy. Or it might be rescuing your team mates, even though the head bad guy gets away.

What do you think should be considered a win in this circumstance?

Oh and choon can have a turn still, I don't mind. I think take-backs are okay as long as no one else has had a turn yet.

I think he might already be gone. I'm not sure what exactly constitutes "Friday" in his time zone. I'll try to come back in a few hours and figure out what course I want to take for the UXM, turn 7.

Yeah, I figured that winning in the RPSC would generally be subjective. I guess it really just comes down to whether we should go after the Queen or just try to clean up the others. I think if we got a TPK sans Queen, that would probably be worthy of a victory, even if the Brood might still come back to haunt us later on.

Gotta go. I'll try to come back in a few hours.

Turn 7c:

Polaris to F-9.

His time zone is close to mine, which means his friday night would be your saturday morning.

That was exactly what I was thinking. Most of the time there are different 'levels' of victory. If you manage to KO all or most of the X-men but not the Queen then yeah, I'd say that's a victory of sorts....but likely the Brood will come back again at some point.

You get 1 IAP for each click of damage done (even past KO), plus an additional 2 IAP for KOing a figure. So Collossus should have got 4 IAP for that attack, not 5.


Turn 8a:

1: Tessa moves to G6, negating Storm's RCE.

2: Psylocke moves to N7.

Free: Tessa and Psylocke will Perplex Tessa Defense up to 16.

Map won't work for some reason. I can see things fine, but I can't move them.

Turn 8b:

Kitty will move to E-8. That'll be all for both teams.
