Attention all S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents
It appears that numerous Agents became quite involved with a betting pool run by an associate of Wade Wilson named “Bob”. We’re trying to track down this Agent Bob for questioning, but have yet to ascertain his current whereabouts.
However, since the last communique regarding this “Pool Party” was done using official channels and equipment, S.H.I.E.L.D. would take it amiss not to reward Agents for their willingness to teambuild.
-
- The janitorial department hopes that any Agents that are off duty this evening will teambuild with them in order to make sure that Helicarrier Iliad remains a neat and tidy space.
-
- If any Agents have information on how to remove Iso-8 enhanced aerosol cheese spread from bulkheads, please see the janitorial staff. - - If any Agents know how Iso-8 enhanced aerosol cheese spread was even synthesized, please see Agent Fitz, who would be most interested in the specs.
The goal of this betting pool was to figure out which of many of our current S.H.I.E.L.D. “hero” and “villain” assets would be used most often in an impromptu contest put on by Deadpool. Agents that guessed correctly will be given currency, and possibly even clearance to utilize these assets when needed for missions.
After the contest was said and done, here were the rankings for the assets that found the most action, by rarity, from most to least used:
- 4* - Wolverine (X-Force), Iron Man (Hulkbuster), Jean Grey, Professor X, Nick Fury
3* - Thor (Modern), Blade, The Hood, The Hulk, Psylocke
2* - Captain Marvel (Ms. Marvel), Human Torch (Johnny Storm), Thor (Marvel NOW!), Storm (Classic), Wolverine (Astonishing)
1* - Iron Man (Model 35), Storm (Modern), Juggernaut, Hawkeye (Classic), Black Widow (Modern)
S.H.I.E.L.D. Logistics notes that while it is common for Tony Stark to change Iron Man suits, it is still unsure why Logan, Ororo Munroe, and Thor Odinson found the need to change outfits multiple times while sparring. Surveillance footage is still being examined.

Honorable Mentions (1 Pool Party Token each) - Moon Roach - For putting in a joke entry and sticking to their guns
bpcontra - For believing in fictional characters. While Johnny Cage may be a powerful kombatant, he has not been recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D.
AXP_isme - For letting Deadpool know that he could jury rig D cells from AA cells, resulting in an extra 3 hours of music after midnight. Maria Hill is not amused.
- Davielee, ItzWarioTime, J2L, Madeofglasz, Poomermon, Roswulf, The Gunslinger, Zifna
Since all prize winners also had more than 6 correct, they will also be receiving one bonus token each. For prize winners that provided their in-game names, prizes will be going out within the next day or two. For prize winners that did not provide their names, or who won a cover of their choice, please contact David [Hi-Fi] Moore and IceIX with your nickname so that prizes may be awarded.
If, upon double checking your own entry in this contest, you believe there to have been an error and that you should have been awarded a prize, please contact IceIX. Several entries were corrupted upon entry into the S.H.I.E.L.D. contest checking database. S.H.I.E.L.D. suspects H.Y.D.R.A. involvement.
One interesting fact about this contest: Young Jean Grey and Hulkbuster were switching up usage rates all weekend long. If Jean had ended up on top, there would have been zero fully correct entries. This was a very close contest right up to the wire.
Agents that have ideas for future contests, or ideas to make future contests run more smoothly, please feel free to post after this communique.
