Hey all, this is Sammo and I speak for the trees posting for our dearly missed Shugo. She's back from her vacation, but her power's out and the companies involved are being totally ridic and say they might not start getting on fixing things until Tuesday/Wednesday. She has her phone for now, but she asked me to extend her hiatus for another five days until this nonsense gets sorted.

City Wide Plot: Wargames

Question: Who loses when two supervillains declare war on each other?

Answer: The City caught between them.

Doctor Einsturzen and the Major would like to play a game. The game consists of them and their minions staging a battle of villain versus villain, with the City caught in the crossfire. This is their way of resolving a dispute more than two years old and indulging their love of pointless violence at the same time.

They have been preparing this for quite some time now, raising their armies and secretly moving them into position in the City. For three nights of chaos (July 6th to 9th), the City will serve as the chessboard between Einsturzen’s genetically-engineered monsters and the Major’s vampire soldiers, with other heroes and villains in between.

The ‘rules’ of the game (possibly to be refereed by another villain) are simple:

-The battle lasts until sunrise of the last night or the deaths of one of the players- offing the Major or Angie will stop the bloodshed. During the day it’s intermission, and the game resumes when the Sun goes down. If one of them dies, it’s an instant win for the survivor. Like getting the Golden Snitch but with more murder.

-If they both survive, the winner is whoever has scored the most points.

-Points are scored by destroying civilians and property in the City. Neither side has any hesitation in using random people for target practice.

-More points are scored for the destruction of minions, regardless of who does it- a hero taking down a vampire scores points for Angie, fighting the Doctor’s monsters brings up the Major’s score.

-BONUS points are scored for killing or capturing random Imports! These two want to drag as many people into their game as possible for maximum carnage. They will also be trying to get other villains to take sides in the fighting.

The three nights will be played out in subthreads in a log. The damage to the City and its populace will vary depending on the heroism displayed by player characters, but will almost certainly be significant. At the climax of the last night, both Major and Angelica will be tracked back to their bases and killed- leading them to call it a draw once they’re back.

Information on the respective teams and their strategies is in the comments. There will be another post later to sort out who’s doing what when; right now is just explaining what’s going down!
