... I honestly didn't think the forums would produce a theory so laughably absurd that it trumps Vahnatai Creationism, but it has. Empire Creationism... you've got to be kidding. VC was not very plausible, and very stupid. EC is several orders of magnitude less plausible, and just as stupid. Forget questions about whether or not Garzahd or whoever could really do all that, complete with changing Motrax's memory (in Exile 2, thanks, not Avernum)... there is one question that destroys everything: WHY? Why in the world would anyone ever do that? There's no conceivable reason. Jeff doesn't always come up with wonderful answers to "why?" but he does always come up with somewhat plausible answers. That's a lot more than I can say for suggestions like this. The Nine-Headed Cave Cow is irate. That said, Kel, I'm surprised and disturbed to hear that you are assuming the Vahnatai were behind the creation of the sliths and nephils. Why in the world does that seem like a likely origin to you? -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central Posts: 3560 | Registered: Wednesday, November 7 2001 08:00 |

Eh, I take it back about the nephilim. They don't play into the slith homeland story at all, so it doesn't really matter. They evolved, as far as I'm concerned. As for the sliths, though, there's a very good reason that I want them to have been created by the vahnatai, and the reason is sort of hinted at in Exodus. It will become much more apparent in the third, concluding scenario (if I ever make it). -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

I think we need a Spiderweb Inquisition to stamp out the growing number of heresies before they infect the newbies. I volunteer to tighten the rack. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

All cults revolving around "How did (Insert game here) get to be like that?" should be crushed. Quickly, now, before they prove themselves right using questionable logic and "Can you prove they didn't?" responses. -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

Oh, stop it. These aren't cults, these are cold, hard science. If you want cults you should head down to RWG. —Alorael, who does not acknowledge the false religions. He spits upon cows, sneers at Dikiyobianism (sorry, Diki!), and coughs nervously at Great Cthulhu. If you weren't mentioned, he holds you in even lower regard.

-X- volunteers for the position of Chronicler. And, Alorael? You get a "Jada" point for your failure to recognize these cults as the enemy. -X- has nothing against cults in general, but these must be destroyed! -------------------- May the fires of Undeath burn in your soul, and consume it.

The cults are acceptable as long as they are properly registered with the Inquisition. It's the propagation of the new origin theories that must be stopped. Anything that fails to follow the Canon must be stamped out. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

As Grand Inquisitor, I think it is high time we brought an end to the various cults on these boards. There are too many, and we need a pure Spiderweb race if we are to survive and thrive. The time has come to institute the Concluding Resolution. [ Wednesday, November 15, 2006 20:32: Message edited by: Emperor Tullegolar ] -------------------- You lose.

Dikiyoba's cult is fine, and the cult of the Nine-headed cow isn't too concerning. The RW cult, however... -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |
