Time to play MRSCORPIO'S WHO AM I?

[MrScorpio]

Hopefully you've played before, and also I hope that you'll play now

The rules:

Your goal is to figure out WHO AM I.

You get to ask three questions per post. My ONLY answers to your questions will either be "yes" or "no".

By Post #50 you must figure out WHO AM I. So do not waste posts on comments and such without questions or asking questions that have been previously asked. Make sure to check the prior posts to avoid repeats.

If you have figured out WHO AM I by post #50, I will tell you that you are Correct and you will win. If I am not correctly discovered, I will post in #51 WHO I AM actually and I will win.

Good Luck
