I totally agree.
This is not the first time we have endless debates about special powers with mmm not proper enough (???) descriptions.
These debates would never have existed IF wk would stop saving ink (I would like to know how much they are charged by word ).
Sometimes one single word makes a terrible diference in the interpretation of a special power.

I keep reading that special powers that supercede the rules book says so in the same power description.
I do not agree.
This statement is not 100% true.
I´ll bring Lobo´s special power as example (not for debate, it has previously been debated).
That power supercede the rule book...
because it says so in the errata...
not in the power description...
see what I mean? (and this is only an example nothing else)
In Cukoos case I perfectly understand the ruling, the "why" and the "how".
But that is not what the description of the special power says.
In the end a friendly Cukoo or an oposing Cukoo are both Cukoos.

This lack of atention or quality (if you have a better word please feel free to write it) from wk when making/writing special powers or feats or bfcs is annoying.

We shouldn´t be debating about the ruling.
The ruling it´s there, we could agree or not, but it won´t change just because some players don´t agree.
We should be talking (see how I changed debating for talking? ?) about this (and others) quality issues we keep finding each time we open a booster...

I can't see it.
I don't see any conflict at all here. Carry is a specific term as far as Heroclix rules go. Its been defined for some time. By saying that the Cukoo can carry other Cukoos, it means, since they are not transporters or flyers, they may use the carrying rules as they've been defined, but only for other Cukoos.
Your transporter, who has the ability to carry, cannot carry an opposing character. Your fliers cannot pick up an enemy and carry them without the drag feat.
Why would the Cukoos be any different?

If their power had read : When a Cukoo moves, they may cause two other adjacent Cukoos to move with them, then I could see the arguement without a problem. But Carrying is a defined ability, and unless the special power says otherwise, specifically, it would seem to work precisely like any other figure with the ability to carry.

I clicked on a link called "Midwich Cuckoos" which is a book that more firmly correlates with the Marvel Cuckoos. It is clear this is where Morrison got most of his inspiration from. Apparently when that book went to film, they changed the title to "Village of the Damned"- sound familiar? Here's a strange bit of trivia from the Wiki article:

"The novel was filmed as Village of the Damned in 1960, with (unusual for science fiction films made in that era) a script that was fairly faithful to the book. A sequel, Children of the Damned, followed shortly after, and there was also a colour remake of the original in 1995 by John Carpenter set in "Midwich, California", and starring Christopher Reeve in his last film role before he was paralysed in a riding accident."

Crazy that that was Reeves last film. (hears Twilight Zone music in background)

Still, what does the word "Cuckoo" mean?

When someone describes a husband as 'cuckolded,' I think it's a synonym for 'whipped.' (... to use the common parlance. Kids these days, feh.)

Said husband is submissive completely to the wishes of his partner. So I think it's "You're gonna do whatever I want." Mind Control, right?

I'd like to get back to the "round" thing. The rulebook states a round "All players taking a single turn". No mention of starting with player one. If it is player 2's turn and he activates Hive Mind the round would be: his turn, then player 1's turn, round ends when player 2 starts again.

Incorrect. "Cuckolded" means, in common parlance, "Cheated on".

So if you describe someone as cuckolded, you better know that their significant other is sleeping around... otherwise you are liable to cause a very big misunderstanding

This reminds me of when people used the X-Men TA to trade clicks of health with opponent's figures...do they still do that?

A round always begins with the 1st player, regardless of # of players in a match.

7 players' round would end with the Player 7 and begin anew with Player 1.

So in case of 2 players, only Player 1 gets a DV Boost via Hive Mind; Player 2 does not, period.

Webhead...that shouldn't have even been legal. X-Men TA specifically says "friendly"...

... and when you MC a character, it becomes friendly to your force.

It is perfectly legal to MC an opposing X-Man next to one of your X-Men and then make the controlled (and temporarily friendly) X-Man heal your character. Great way to make it take a click of damage and get a little something for yourself at the same time.

Oh, yeah...that's an old trick I've used sometimes. Just thought Webby meant my friendly X-Man based with an opposing X-Man. THAT'D be a no-no...Jean doesn't exactly like sharing with Emma, y'know?

That is what I meant...this exact same arguement came up like five years ago with the X-Men TA. But I wouldn't expect any of you whipper snappers to know that.
