If you can quote where I suggested that Marathon was created on Mars, I will actually give you everything I own.
If you want to play this way...
From the seventh post in this very thread. Bold added by myself for emphasis.

When the Ark exploded it warped the cargo bay to the Marathon universe and the Legendary Planet is Marathon Mars.
You are saying here that the legendary planet is Marathon Mars. What you are implying is that the planet shown is the Marathon, a colony ship which was in fact created not from Mars, but Mars' second moon, Deimos. I was trying to steer the conversation in this way; specifically as to why you assumed the planet was "Marathon's Mars" when in fact that statement had absolutely no canonical basis as far as the Marathon universe is concerned.
If it wasn't evident in the paragraph above, the whole colony-ship tie-in was based off of your "Mars" statement. The UESC Marathon was a colony ship built (from Deimos if you recall) to travel to Tau Ceti. I was attempting to clear up any misconceptions you had regarding the Marathon and its appearance.

He's just trying to prove that he knows more about Marathon than you when im sure he actually read it from an earlier post. He's trying to seem like the "know it all troll", they are quite indigenous to online forums.
Hardly. Whether you believe it or not, there are a good deal of us who were not too young when the Marathon games first came out. Frankly, I could care less how you perceive me, but a good many of the regular users of this forum know me and know how long I've had an affinity for the Marathon story. I really dislike anything resembling the claim of "I know more than you", as it is wholly arrogant (protip: read my forum signature), but I find it somewhat of an obligation to post in threads where common misconceptions of the Marathon universe are being bandied about as if they were hard facts.
Take this how you will, but again, realize Bungie fans go back farther than any Halo game.
