Talk:Abductee
From Walkypedia!
Isn't this a category, not an article? Corect me (and it) if I'm wrong.
- If there were a category, it would be Abductees, plural! I'm not sure if an Abductees category exists, or if it should. It would just be a clone of the "SEMME agents" category but without Jason. --ItsWalky 15:38, 18 February 2007 (CST)
- And Alan. And Sal? Was Sal ever actually abducted? Anyways, a more suitable category would be "Non-abductees" as a sub-category in SEMME agents, if you wanted to keep it small. Jimbone 19:29, 25 February 2007 (CST)
- _All_ SEMME agents, excepting Jason, were abductees. Alan I guess is also an exception as well (I always thought of Alan as higher up than the field agents anyway.) . But the abduction process is how they all got their powers, etc. Also, since I created this page, I'd like to justify its existence - the abduction process has a whole history and backstory sort of spread out over other articles. Additionally, throughout most of the comic's run, the exact nature of why these people were abducted is hidden. I wanted to present both the original story and the actual version which we learn in one of the last storylines. I just haven't really gotten around to it yet. --Asimperson 22:09, 25 February 2007 (CST)
[edit]
Huh.
HA says here that there were "thousands" of abductees, but the article says exactly 500. Where's the 500 figure from? Hooper X 16:08, 28 February 2007 (CST)
- Bart O'Ryan has a list of families with abducted children [1], but whether this is accurate, or whether families have more than one abductee in the family. McFS 16:17, 28 February 2007 (CST)
- That list might not be complete. Also, there are probably some orphan abductees, abductees whose parents don't care what happened to them, or simply never pursued things further. -hx
- I'd like to think I didn't make that up, but I can't remember where I got the number from. It definitely wasn't from Bart O'Ryan. So in the face of that, let's roll with HA for now and I'll try to see if I can find somewhere else I got that from. --Asimperson
- Ah-ha! Apparently, it's stated somewhere that there are 500 SEMME agents (see the SEMME article), so I guess I figured there was a 1:1 correspondence between SEMME agents and abductees. I guess based on what the HA said this isn't necessarily the case.--Asimperson 23:13, 28 February 2007 (CST)
