Plot - please read.
I just wanted to give everyone a timeline of things that will/have come to pass. Parts of this have already been posted.

The Professor wakes up on Tuesday, August 11th (2009), and is back around the upper levels by late Wednesday, August 12th (2009). That's ten days he was unconscious and without Cerebro being used (by him).

Forge, Mars, Matrix and Zap get Cerebro back up and running on August 7th (with the feedback of Emma/Jean now and again).

On Monday, August 3rd, political supporters of the Mutant Registration Act spoke out across the country (with anti-mutant sentiments across the globe). It is back up for vote Friday, August 17th, 2009. Senator Kelly had been whipping up support for the MRA (and himself) in this thread.

Magneto has been apprehended and is in jail ala X2. The Brotherhood has been separated. It seems that our group of players here isn't really keen on the Brotherhood in the first place, so we're finding places for them to be / purposes for each of them after Magneto's gone. Mystique will be attempting to spring Magneto.

After discussion with Leigh and a few other players, it seems like the idea of a school BBQ on the lawn (and a chili cook-off: enter here!) would be good to celebrate the Professor waking up. This would probably take place Saturday, August 15th, 2009. So we could have swimming and a massive thread so that everyone could have a chance to interact if they so choose. Besides Liberty Island, we haven't really had a thread of that manner yet.

While Magneto is in prison, Stryker will be visiting him. These visits will happen through the month of August. Stryker will launch an attack on the X-Mansion in hopes of obtaining what was necessary for him to make his own Cerebro, and fail. There are far too many X-Men for him to succeed in the confines of this game. This will happen in early September.

Throughout the month of September, the Mutant Registration Act will be passed and school (the fall semester) will be starting for Xavier's Institute. The use of sentinels will go public.

In early October, several simultaneous attacks by sentinels will occur in the New York area. During this evening, the X-Men will be separated into several teams to help control the damage and (hopefully) take out the sentinels. This is when Stryker will return to the mansion to finish what he started. He will succeed.

So, we'll have three groups. Two groups will be fighting sentinels and one group will be defending the mansion. If you don't want your character(s) involved at all, you can say they're out of town.

It's confirmed that Britannic, Colossus, Warpath and Dukes will be fighting sentinels. It doesn't make sense for them not to.

So I need to hear from all of you if you wish for your characters to be out fighting sentinels or in fighting MRDs/Stryker. Super-powerful mutants or those with great control shouldn't be left at the school. The Professor/Phoenix/Diamond should be gone as well, whatever they're doing (sentinels or not). Please let us know what you think and where you'd like your characters to be!

INDIGO = NPC.

A lot of these choices were made based on comments here.

Also, I'd really, really like people to include 'X' in some of their threads. Either mention of it, or problems with people/attacks, or discussing the issue itself, anything. If you need suggestions, let us know. :D

EDIT: P.S. I've updated the relationships page so that Psylocke and Omen now have roommates. BEWARE! I'm lookin' at you, Chamber and Wallflower. I've also added in Husk. :) We have a hold on Kitty. ^_^

	Psst...on the relationships page, you missed Husk and Cannonball... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I had a lot of Guthries on there and took them off a while back since none were in play. Amanda just picked up Sam, until now, he hasn't had any siblings to re-add. lol So, I'll do that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	diamond_em 2009-07-27 02:49 am UTC (link)
	oh, btw, I meant to add that if you're looking for volunteers to get kidnapped, either of my girls would be more than happy to be part of that action. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sam says NO, this is unacceptable. If it's Paige. If it's Emma, well, that's terrible, but at least he won't be tearing his hair out in frustration while the X-Men sit around and decide on a plan of action. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	diamond_em 2009-07-27 09:53 am UTC (link)
	Lol. If Paige gets kidnapped, does that mean that Sam's going to ship her back to Kentucky on the first train? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	xalted 2009-07-28 05:57 pm UTC (link)
	I added Husk to the kidnappees. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

The more I think of it, maybe it'd make better sense to switch Cleric and Chamber. Katie would probably be more of a liability than a help in a massive battle like that, since she'd have no powers to rely on for self-defense if it came down to it, so maybe she'd be better off at the school. Jono, meanwhile, I'm thinking by that point will have acquired at least enough control over his powers that he'd be willing to go out and help blow stuff up, which he's very good at, so he should probably go along with one of the Sentinel hunting groups. Thoughts?

Sam, on the other hand, is just excited that he gets to whoop some metallic butt that isn't Colossus (Super Smash Brothers ftw!).

	Sounds like a plan to me. I'll switch 'em. Yay for Jono blowin' stuff up. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	contained_havok 2009-07-28 03:51 pm UTC (link)
	Havok is in, of course. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	xalted 2009-07-28 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	Yay for Alex! ^_^ (Reply to this) (Parent)

	_cleric_ 2009-08-02 01:29 am UTC (link)
	Hrm. If you need more volunteers (and have the urge to mess with Conlan's head), I'll offer Katie up for kidnapping fun, whee. Yeah, yeah, I know I've already changed her role in this once already. Maybe this time though she could get trapped after trying to help someone downed by the strike team, I dunno. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sounds fair to me. Poor Booger. Everyone he knows/loves is going to be 'napped. (Reply to this) (Parent)
