First save my I've done where day 2 somehow starts with MORE characters.

You must not have been there for Save My Disney Princess

Sebastian Shaw
Shard
Shark-Girl
Sharon Friedlander
Shatterstar

Exodus
Penance/Hollow
Phoenix Force

Quicksilver

Figure I'll save this Penance too, in case anyone saw my earlier save and thought she was safe & somehow missed the later conversation.

So Cassandra Nova was another I intentionally left off since she's only ever really an antagonist. Even in the Krakoa era where most of the big bad Mutants are reluctant allies, Nova is still basically an enemy

i think its silly to have 300 characters and leave out major villains man. i dont even know 90% of these characters on here but ill be damned if they should be here over apoc and nova

I mean, kinda the whole point of it was to be basically everyone that in any way could be considered X-Men. If I tried to make it "Save My X-Men Characters" instead of "Save My X-Men" (which I did consider) I'd either have to start making arbitrary choices on who to cut or end up with like 700 characters

I'm been slowly reading through all the X and X-adjacent books from the beginning over the last few years, and I'm in the middle of 1987 now. So I still don't know who a ton of these characters are (in fact I read Fallen Angels not too long ago, so I should've remembered Ariel... but also that was a bad mini-series).

I see there's a couple Starjammers on the list, so I thought maybe Lilandra should be in. Callisto also came to mind as an omission, but I dunno if she ever really becomes an X-Man instead of only a Morlock.

I think if I can justify Deathbird I can justify Lilandra

Callisto is definitely a grey area but I'm fine including her

Admittedly I don't know Erik the Red all that well but looking into him more I'm bit really seeing much now; I initially misread his wiki page when I added him

Was there any particular instance he was nominated for?

So, uh, can we change "last 10 unsaved characters are eliminated" to last 100?

No but I might bump it past 10

What about once we hit 290? That's still the 10 eliminated from 300, plus anything that would put it over?

Sidenote: the people trying to move things along by just picking clumps of five names were very good at only making three valid saves.

Alright, so researching more into it, I'm going to remove Erik the Red as I can't find any evidence of him being allied with the X-Men or even any X-affiliated groups. That one's on me for not vetting it closer. I initially read this line from his wiki page, " Gabriel Summers was sent to Earth to become a slave for Erik the Red, but he escaped to be found by Moira MacTaggart, eventually becoming an X-Man of sorts," and read it as Erik becoming an X-Man rather than Gabriel. After removing Erik, that puts us at 322 total characters

So how about this: Today will run until there are 300 characters left, same as what we started today with. That'll be 22 eliminations for today. Then I'll readdress for tomorrow. That also still leaves ~80 remaining saves, so people should still have plenty of time to get to any they really care about.

Appreciate it mnk! Funny timing though that your update came as I was updating, but at least I can confirm it!
