So maybe we do move onto act 2. I know I'm kind of harping on this... but I do think we should close out this phase of the story and move onto another. Same characters, same world, different circumstances. Maybe Phoenix does beat Apocalypse, but only Apocalypse. His forces would still be around the world, holding their ground and tryinf to take more. And maybe a new baddie would step into Apocalypse's shoes, take control of his forces. So that way Apocalypse is dealt with (I wouldnt feel right playing him at all after Vel did so awesome with him), and we could move the story into a direction we wanted without having to worry about 'where do we go now'. We merge threads, make it easier on us. More organized, and as suggested.. this leg of the story would be about a sort of worldwide civil war. the 'nation' of apocalypse, a new leader, vs the current world and it's leaders.<br/><br/>Do we need a main GM? Someone to make the final calls on things? If we do, it should definately be voted on.
