Game Thread Amazing Fantasy: A Spider-Man Mafia Prequel [NIGHT 10--HIATUS]

[Zinger2099]

Spider-Man is still M.I.A. and the villains are wrecking the city. Meanwhile, some crazy person claims they know the identity of the Green Goblin, and seconds later the Goblin appeared! Coincidence or conspiracy? You be the judge!

But before anyone can worry about solving that dilemma, there's a FIERY EXPLOSION down 5th Avenue as The Human Torch has engaged the nefarious Sandman in a FIGHT!

WOWZA! The Torch will have to save himself without the help of Spider-Man on this one, but I wonder... Can he do it?!

THE HUMAN TORCH IS IN A FIGHT WITH LAIN, a.k.a. THE SANDMAN

The Torch might not have Spidey's help, but that doesn't mean they're on their own. The entire Fantastic Four are here to help, and have multiplied Torch's Fight Post limit by 4, resulting in a modified fight post limit of 46. WOW!

But Lain's is INFINITE + 5... Whoops.

Lain has an incalculable advantage. Uh-oh.

A random time limit has been set, which will begin the minute both fighters have indicated their readiness.

CHEERING is ENABLED for this Fight.

[Ragnarokio]

every post is worth a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 3 in theory so i guess lain is guaranteed to win as long as they make 139 posts

better get started

 

[The Human Torch]

Pah, instant regret moment. Oh well, let's go. You took arms against lg and for this I must fight you. Fwiw I would have canceled if you had told me what could have helped save you. Hindsight's a b.

Are you willing to share what the win condition is?

I'll only be able to tell all I know if I survive.

 

[Rubik]

Cheer: Human Torch

"Slam 'em for Salmon."

 

[Rubik]

If super-villains actually can't end the game without town or mafia like Mint implied, I'm not sure how they're supposed to win since both public game-ending win conditions require removing all non-mafia threats to town from the active player pool.

 

[Ragnarokio]

it seemed heavily implied that both electro and doc ock at least won by advancing their schemes sufficiently, which was something they seemed capable of doing independently through ability activations and etc.

 

[lain]

i'm ready

 

[HangryHangryHippo]

I don't think they necessarily win but the schemes force an end game state and they would likely win per the villian win con unless they happened to get got in the same phase their scheme resolved.

 

[Zinger2099]

Per the rules of the game, you can infer that if indeed "Supervillain" is one of the five secret alignments (I'll never tell), then players who share that alignment have the same win condition. This does not mean they don't all have wildly different ways of achieving that same win condition.

I am actually really quite proud of how elegant that design decision was. Ostensibly.

 

[Rubik]

It would be pretty cool if there was a villain who won by emptying the active player pool completely since town could win with that in theory

 

[Captan_Lunch]

Cheer: The Sandman

Go Sandman! Rip and tear until it is done

 

[lain]

The Sandman notices a feeling of impending chaos as the Torch closes in on him.

"Is someone after me? Good thing I happened to be sunbathing on the beach. Won't know what hit them"

 

[lain]

The sand on the beach begins to move, like it's alive. It shapes itself into many human-sized figures that look just like The Sandman!

 

[lain]

The Sandman had created a horde of body-doubles, almost like he had made his own kingdom! If he stood still It would be difficult for a hero to tell which one was him. In the time it takes for them to find him, he could strike from behind!

 

[lain]

"Of course, a kingdom needs a castle."

As he thought that, The Sandman began his plans to build an amazing castle of his own! If any of his body-doubles yearned for their kingdom to have a castle, their dreams would soon be realized!
