Topic: [THREAD LOCKED] SAB Shakeup?

Extra! Extra! Read all about it!
It looks like everyone's favorite precog has overstepped!
A cape source of mine recently confirmed that there has been a major bit of drama over on SAB!
The big brouhaha started after a local Brockton Bay villain named Skidmark died a little less than a week ago.
While everyone knows cape-on-cape violence is a thing, this time the dead cape in question was a subscriber to SAB! After a few subscribers pressed Edition about the cape's death, our precog admitted that she did nothing to warn him about his upcoming demise!
Was this a sign that Edition really isn't as all-knowing as she appears?
Nope.
Instead of admitting any sort of blindspot, Edition put out a statement that said Skidmark violated SAB's terms of service, and she let him die!
That's right people! Edition let this guy die simply because he didn't follow the terms of her little web portal! She put out some kind of longer statement a bit later, but it might be time for us to re-evaluate whether she's really the neutral-rogue we all thought she was!

Wow.
Never mind. If violating the ToS of SAB leads to your death, I sure as hell don't want to be on it.

So many questions.

I think this fits in World Events, Nowhere_man. Edition has a worldwide impact so news about SAB should also be considered global
Iblis, I am not jealous. This has nothing to do with my lack of access to SAB and everything to do with the fact that Edition is apparently willing to let her customers die if they violate her ToS!

Yeah, I'm not sure what Skidmark did, but it's Skidmark. He probably deserved it.
That said, the merchants have fallen into some serious infighting lately. Both Squealer and Mush took about a quarter of the gang while the rest have just vanished. Hope the protectorate can round them up quickly.

If this is true, Edition might actually be a villain! If that's the case, what will the protectorate do?

Replied On Feb 16th 2011:
Right.
Let me save everyone the drama, a friend of a friend has SAB access and the statement that Bagrat glossed over?
Apparently, Skidmark was plotting to kill edition.
So, Bagrat, should we all feel bad that Edition didn't save the life of the villainous drug dealer that was trying to kill him/her?

If that's true, wow. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to plot to kill a precog?

Replied On Feb 16th 2011:
Well, MY source passed along part of Edition's statement. I don't want to get them banned from SAB though since the ToS are pretty strict about reposting information onto PHO.
The fact that the PRT and Protectorate haven't been up in arms about her service the last few days should be enough to lend credence to the theory that Skidmark overstepped though.

Guys this was a real story! The fact that it took days for this information to get out just goes to show how much sway Edition has over the cape community!

Okay, I am locking this thread.
Bagrat, please do not post information about SAB in world events any longer. Information about Edition should be put in the Brockton Bay boards from hereonin.
Lastly, please do not post rampant speculation like this. Consider yourself warned.

PROTECTORATE REGIONAL NEWS UPDATE:
Arlington
In one of the largest and most heavily coordinated raids in Texas history, PRT TXA will capture over 200 unpowered gang members, 950 kilos, and detain over 100 commercial vehicles used in the national methamphetamine distribution network.
While the PRT TXA will achieve most of their strategic goals, the villains Tinfoil and Scurge will evade capture. With most of their network undone, they will make plans to leave the state.
Freedom
Independent villain Preacher will release two subordinated individuals at 11:35 am Pacific time. Upon reaching the PRT corridor, they will claim to have escaped from his compound and are seeking refuge. The two will exhibit no signs of master influence under class 1 or 2 protocols.
After receiving permission from PRT Assistant Director Swearinger, the two will be taken to a secure medical detainment facility. At 1:24 pm, Dragon will be called in to administer a class 3 master/stranger analysis.
Upon being challenged with suspicious results, the two will react violently - with one subject chewing through her own arm to free herself of handcuffs. The two victims will eventually die of acute blood loss from their attempts to reach and kill the nearest PRT Troopers.
As a result, Preacher will gain basic knowledge of the PRT's Master Stranger class 3 protocols.
[Location not disclosed]
Cinderhands has agreed to act as Marquis' second in command of cellblock A in a nonviolent leadership assimilation.
Miami
Protectorate hero Scratch will engage the independent villain Weatherman at the Dade County Aquarium. Weatherman will shatter the largest tank with a gun and then use his shaker power to manipulate the water before being detained. 23 injured, 5 dead.
Update: Causality changed by Subscriber, future changed.
New Orleans
Entergy corporation will have it's Lake Pontchartrain pipeline destroyed in a daring daylight attack by the environmental group "Mother Earth." The group will be assisted by a recently triggered cape "GroundSwell" who will attempt to use her terrakinesis to stop the pipeline from connecting to the greater Mississippi distribution network.
Groundswell's attempt to shift the pipeline will result in a rupture, leading to 250 barrels of oil a minute rushing out into Lake Pontchartrain, resulting in one of the worst cape-caused environmental disasters in American history.
Update: Causality changed by Subscriber, future changed.
Vancouver
Protectorate WNW will be attacked by a disaffected cell of The Elite at 1:35 pm Pacific time. Lead by a heavily disguised Assimilator, the attack and bombing raids will result in the deaths of 42 PRT staffers, the hero Micron, and PRT WNW Director David Rodgers.
Responding to the perceived aggression by The Elite, Protectorate branches across the west coast will coordinate several raids on Elite holdings by 10 PM Pacific, killing Elite members Fulbright, Gorgon, Rumination, Timber, and Voracious and severely wounding Bastard Son.
As a result of the Protectorate and PRT attacks, Assimilator will be able to consolidate control of the Vancouver Elite, extending his influence as far east as Edmonton and South to Portland. He will purge those with ties to The Gentlemen, Bastard Son, and Uppercrust, making him one of the most influential parahuman villains in the country.
As of Midnight Pacific, Assimilator will christen his new group "Omega" and decry the recent violence of The Elite.
Update: Causality changed by Subscriber, future changed.

Unsurprisingly the Elite are more than willing to shell out millions for information leading to Assimilator's head.
Also, Assimilator's not on SAB, soooo, yeah, he's boned. The only question is how hard the rest of the Elite will be coming down on him.
Edit: Tattletale isn't touching this one. Heads are literally going to roll here.

While I am more willing to allow our worthwhile friends in the Protectorate to deal with minor hiccups when they arise, this is no trifling matter.
Assimilator sought to build his new empire on the bodies of loyal capes. This cannot be permitted.

Agreed.
As an organization, we can tolerate different leadership styles, but permitting Assimilator to kill loyal members while setting us against the Protectorate cannot be allowed.
