Thing is- I can’t spell or type. I spell so badly my spell check doesn’t even know what I was trying to spell. And I have five Eisners HAHAHAHHA!!

Anyway, yeah. I like villains who are convinced that they're in the right as opposed to admitting they're evil. And you can sorta see where they're coming from.
Hmm... maybe 'villains' is the wrong word. Antagonists, perhaps.

Sorry if I bypassed your situation, Pro -- I saw an opportunity to introduce myself and went for it! They're still on the run, just not surrounded at the moment...
I hope I didn't mangle any characters by way of writing too poorly in the process!

And for anyone who cares, here's the powers Merrick has:
As Merrick: Enhanced senses, enhanced reflexes, enhanced dexterity, ability to summon Ghost Wolves (can direct at initial target, but not control)
As Wild Huntsman: Enhanced senses, enhanced strength, claws, armor, enhanced speed/leaping, control animals, summon and control Ghost Wolves; in berserker mode until enemeies are dead, however

Well, I-Man, that was exactly what I was talking about. In one post...in one paragraph...you completely neutralized the threat with one character. That gave no one else the chance to do anything with their character. I don't mind you bringing your character into the mix. But, by finishing the situation to showcase your character's powers, you have eliminated any possibility for others to come in and have fun too. This is what killed the previous writings, because too many people wanted to control every situation with one character, and completely solve the problem with no regard for the other writers.
I guess we'll just move on....

No offense, brother, but don't you think your character is just a wee bit too powerful? I mean, he has powers in his human form as well as in his god-like form? That's a bit too much for him to be one of a group. He should be able to handle any threat on his own. Am I missing something?

I suppose the term 'enhanced' is misleading -- by 'enhanced' mean can dodge a punk's fist, not freaking Spiderman...my bad
Look, screw it...
I'll delete it and let the real Vanguardians do it.
Back to play on the MBL side of the playground where I seem to belong...

Listen, you should learn to take proper criticism. Don't run and hide the moment one of us questions why you write what you write. That goes for everyone. Stop being so sensitive. The greatest thing we can hope to gain from group writing is honest criticism of each other's works. If you can't handle that, then you shouldn't be doing this. My questions and criticisms were valid and should be addressed.
You can delete what you want. But, I went ahead and did what we should always do: write with what you got.
And instead of deleting your stuff because I questioned your material, you should just learn to go with the flow. Merrick is still with the group, and nothing I wrote invalidated anything you did. You want to put it back, put it back and indicate it takes place before mine. Problem solved. Otherwise, you should examine why you want to write within a group setting...

I got your PM, and I understand. If you want to add another post later that "introduces" Merrick, and set it before my last one, go ahead. Either way, it's cool...

Phil, you PMed me about doing a Random Interview. Here's my challenge to you: -You have until Monday, April 3rd to write three more posts in this story. The main challenge lies in that NONE of the posts...no matter the situation...you cannot showcase Phil at all. You have to showcase everyone elses character. Whether in reflective introspection, action, humor...anything...as long as it deals with everyone else. And, don't be a smartass and write three sentence posts, either. Make it worthy of posting. You do this, and we'll do an interview next week....

You know, at first I was feeling guilty about writing so much. I don't want to dominate the story, or anything. But, if no one else is going to write (and yeah, I do understand we're all busy...there's no timetable), then I'm not going to hold back on ideas I want to write. Anyone and everyone is welcome to come in and play at points they feel comfortable. I just hope it doesn't turn into everyone writing fight scenes, and me writing everything else. If that's what everyone wants, hey, cool. But, that means I'll be the one doing all the setups. Do you really want that?

One must always write much than the others, or the writing will die. Seven years of stories demonstrate it.

As for me, I'm fairly busy with work and church, coming down with something... not fun, and waiting for further inspiration. When it comes, you'll know...

It's all good Chewy. We'll keep the light burning for you. Grimm, well done. It seems Lykopis may have some competition for her unintended leadership role... BTW, how does Phil know what contacts he may or may not have in this new world? Sincerly, I'm just curious...

I've been a bit under the weather over the past 24 hours or so, and I still haven't shaken whatever it is yet. But I have tomorrow off, so I can try to get something accomplished. After I get the recaps for last week's Havoc done - and work on my 3D rendering project for Gooz. I committed to those first.
