On to some other game set up & colour stuff.
Bit of background for the non-comic geeks.
Marvel has long had a bit of a disconnect between its "Superheroes" and "Mutants". And apart from a very occasional crossover and with the exception of one or two specific characters never the twain shall meet really.
In this context by "superheroes", I mean the guys that gained their powers from accidents, serums, radation, artifacts, being gods, technology, etc. Guys like Captain America, Iron Man, Spiderman, the Hulk, etc.
"Mutants" are those characters that are born with the X-gene (powers)
From my own character, and what has been put out there so far, eg: -for example the legacy virus was a major and long running recurring issue in the X-books, but barely rated a mention in the superhero books. - Apocolypse is firmly related to the mutant side of things,
this set up seems very focused on the mutant side of things. So I for one am expecting most of the 'characters' to be members or villains from the X-books (X-men, X-Factor, New Mutants, etc). Although knowing our friendly mods, they might just throw in a few heroes for the hell of it.
I know its been said already in passing, but I wanted to restate it that, with the specific mention of Skrull involvement here, a 'character' claim is completely, 100%, useless in verifying alignment. Skrulls are able to to take the shape of anyone and perfectly imitate them, including their powers.
I had originally thought that a group of Skrulls would be the scum here, but based upon Pleo's little snippet from his role PM, I think the main scum group may actually be Apocolypse and his horseman - which is going by canon would mean a scum group of 5. As been said, who exactly the horseman are is anyone's guess as the roster changes regularly.
Which leaves us with an unknown number of Skrulls in some form of PFK roles probably.

Well I am torn, but yeah I think you said too much. I am at least 80% certain of your character, and there are only a couple of powers that I see fitting that character if I am right. But I might not be. Should I just come out and state my suspicion? It would basically be forcing a name claim from you if I am right. If you are ok with that I will say what I am guessing at. You should definitely state your suspicion. As I said, the Scum have this info now and will presumably have someone clever enough to draw the same conclusion. Better let everyone know then. I may choose to neither confirm nor deny your suspicion. It may be better to leave a little uncertainty (I will definitely not lie).

If this is true then I am unvoting you because I don't think you would be wiley enough to create that snippit without any real knowledge of Marvel comics and the mutant world in general.

Phew. I am not Magneto. I didn't think my snippet would be identifying and apparently it is not. My poking around different comic sites indicated that plenty of mutants have a history of squabbling with the X-men. I am one of them. To avoid me actually slipping, let's discontinue the "Guess Who Pleo Is" game until I annoy you enough to lynch me. I do still think it's a good idea for others to post snippets, or even key phrases or words from their PM. Like Hoopy stating she's a mutant too.

It was more the tone of how "you reacted" and had to convince people that you were really trying to help rather than hurt that made me think Magneto.

I can confirm that I am a mutant. I'm not a high profile character, you'd have to be a pretty big X-book fan to know who I was off the top of your head I think.

I'm still curious to know if there is anybody that is definitively not from the xmen universe, or who else has powers that don't match their character. Some folks volunteered this info, others didn't.

And I don't recall if I've mentioned it before or not, but my character is also one of those that has been both on the side of good and bad in the canon.

I'm gonna have to
vote peekercpa[/color]
Here's why: I've been scum with peeker. In Doperville, he was all about counterclaiming the detective. This somehow feels the same. I don't expect that to convince anyone else, it's just the feeling I get. Also, I think he was in the game where scum ryjae claimed Miller, and got away with it for a bit. If I said, "hm, what would scummy peeker do?" his current claim would be the answer.

I really didn't expect him to do it. I mean, he threw it out as a possibility on night 2 before anyone on either side had claimed anything non-vanilla, but nothing was mentioned of that fake claim after that. He just decided to to claim out of the blue right after Ryjae claimed. I didn't think town would buy it, but was happily mistaken on that fact.

I think: Molefan is scum KidV is scum Peeker is Town scum KidV wants an excuse to change his vote from scum Molefan to Town Peeker. Ah! A duel, then, you scoundrel! Wet noodles at 2 paces? No, seriously, I'm more than willing to lynch Molefan. It's just that Peeker has put himself just as high on my list, but doesn't appear to have drawn as much heat for his claim as you and Mole. I think his name needs to be out there too. Put me wherever. I am a town aligned Miller. I win with the town. I investgate as scum. And I have this chance of mixing my blood to keep someone from getting the Legacy Virus. I am crappy ay this game and just thought that coming right out and saying what I know and am would help the town. As opposed to an investigator saying you are scum and then pulling a Miller role out of my ass. Matter of fact that would cement the investigator because who else would get a scum reading on town?

Yeah, we won the shit out of that one, didn't we? So, I'll ask you: does this seem peekerscummy to you, sloopy hoopy? It does seem like something he would concoct. That combined with the fact that both he and molefan have claimed that they give handouts make for as good of a case as any we're likely to get on Day One. It looks like molefan is likely to swing, and if he turns up scum or PFK, I'll probably back off of peeker a bit toMorrow. If mole turns up town, peeker will look even more suspicious.

Yeah, we won the shit out of that one, didn't we? Oh, and yeah we did. I believe it's the only game on either of these boards where scum didn't lose a single member. (Though, it did come down to a coin toss at the end. I liked your last minute switch. I was worried you weren't going to switchover in time.)

...There is lots of stuff out there to get us talking. The main point is to get people talking and talking on a variety of subjects. I quite like that, I think we're getting somewhere with our little side convo here. I like dissecting the game, too, that's fun. But, the thing I don't understand is that, if there -are- people talking ant talking on a variety of subjects, why is it that you say that they're not posting things of substance? Just because it's different than what you'd rather talk about? Don't get me wrong, the whole Idle debacle was ridiculous, because if he's scum, he's scum, and if he's the Doc... well, then he's the Doc. But we don't have enough information to figure that out now. Anyway, it just seemed like there were a couple other things going on, and you were still saying nobody was posting anything of substance. I think we're on the same page now, though.

I am going to do one thing for now, though, since we are less than 12 hours away anyway.
unvote peekercpa vote molefan
This is simply to help reach the countdown if we need to since the mods aren't telling us if the countdown matters or not. I will be back before the end of the Day to switch my vote back. I encourage any others to do so as well, at least temporarily.

I'm a mutant as well. Is anyone not a mutant? *singing* If I were the marrying kind, but thank the Lord I'm not Sir, the kind of Mafia player I would be would be a Mutant, Sir. A Mutant, Sir? Why's that, Sir? Because I'd have superpowers, and you'd have superpowers, we'd all have superpowers together! We'd be all right, in the middle of the night, having superpowers together!
