Good chance for Daniel to go on a power trip, sort of, and get power greedy, sort of, so count him in. ;D

That's more than 4 teams of three! We're pretty much good to go, though we might throw in enough NPCs for each team to have one. We'll likely be setting up a separate DR board for this shortly.

Again, anyone who's interested in being a captain should let us know.

[Tobias Smith]

I'd like to...but I'm afraid that having the kid who can stop time would pretty much make the entire thing unfair.

[Bobby Drake]

A thought re: Toby...

We could set up the CtF playing field so that there are automatic doors sealing off each team's zone, with (let's say) a five-second delay.

That way Toby can't just grab all the flags in stoptime... he has to at least wait in realtime for the doors to open, which gives the other teams (and the automatic threats) a chance to take him out of play... and I'm betting everyone would have "eliminate Toby" as one of their first strategic goals.

So if you don't mind having Toby taken out of play relatively early on, I think that could work?

Also, if each zone is, let's say, the size of a football field, I think Toby would probably pass out if he tried to navigate the whole thing in stoptime, no?

[Bobby Drake]

Oh, and you can make either or both of me captains if you're hard up for them, although it would be more fun to watch some of the more inexperienced students having to do the tactical thing.

[Tobias Smith]

Good point. That works...besides he could probably be more of a scout.

[Warren Worthington III]

So, we seem to be reaching the end of this arc, all horror-zone weirdness between Bob/John/Josh notwithstanding.

One relatively quick way to end it involves Warren winning: he flies around the building, sneaks in through the Yellow Zone bedroom window, and absconds with the FlagBearer while Josh, Bob, John, Sue Storm, and the Yellow Zone Monsters are all in the hall outside fighting over her. Then he flies to the Yellow Gate with her, leads her through the Neutral Zone to the Blue Zone, at which point all four Flags are in his home zone and Blue Team wins.

Course, it's a bit selfservingly g'moddy for me to just _do_ that, so I figured I'd mention it here and see what folks think... if we want to keep going with the thread, we can do that, or if anyone has an alternative ending to suggest, that's OK too.

Thoughts?

If I hear no objections in the next few days (say, Wednesday?) I'll go ahead and have Warren grab the Flagbearer.
