What I want to know is if the precursors really created the flood[/quote]
nah, from what we know the ships the flood came on were nothing like precursor ships
[/quote]
To use an age old saying: thats what they want you to believe.
just like people want to believe we are fighting forerunners in halo 4, humans and forerunners are the same, and the ending planet is onxy or will connect to the dyson sphere?
right.
Who is to say the Precursors didn't use "faked" ships to trick the Forerunners into believing this was from another race, not related to their ancient enemies, and would thusly be less tempted to destroy them? Its like a Trojan Horse: at what first seems like an innocent gift, turns into a drastic weapon.
And the first rule of a Trojan Horse: desguise it as something else to smother any doubt.
i am completely sorry but that is the most unintelligent thing i have ever heard you say. why would the precursors (if they even did all of that) go out of there way to do that? not to mention it is hard to build something and make it look like you didn't build it.
seeing how everybody is predicting the same thing (yet complain about halo being too predictable) it is obvious that greg (who has been informed of what we think) isn't going to do that, its far too easy to think of.
it is just far too predictable which is the main reason it is ruled out.
And once again, Grey, you become hostile at someone for believing something different then you simply because, in your mind, it is wrong.
Here's a question: why would the Precursors, or at least the Prisoner, not do that? Why would he not try to kill off the Forerunners with a weapon that nobody suspected? Why would he not use any subterfuge in dealing with a race that, should they wish, could obliterate him with the push of a button? Crazy psychic abilities or not, Great Journey not withstanding, the Prisoner is, at the time of Cryptum stll a biological entity.
So pardon me, grey, for brainstorming ideas, and especially pardon me for considering ideas I have evidence to prove.
Is it not the nature of this forum, the entire purpose of this forum to throw around suggestions for the sake of discussion, regardless of accuracy, predictability or sensibility? The fact of the matter is: we don't know what Greg Bear has in store for us, so we make guesses and speculate based on evidence; there's nothing wrong with that. My evidence? The Prisoner says "this is our answer." What other then the Flood could "this" mean?
If you have an idea, I'd be happy to hear it, as I am sure any self respecting canon junky would. There is no need, however, to call someone "unintelligent", "stupid", "ignorant" or any other form of the word for the mere fact they said something you do not agree with. All of that does is present one-self as narcissistically believing themself as the sole authority over the given subject. Anyone who has anything to say that differs itself from what you or anyone else believes probably has just as good a reason for believing it as you do your own belief.
And again, like I said before, you're not the only one to do this. I've commited similar acts for different reasons and got banned for a week for it, like I told you yesterday. I am under no dillusion that anyone, myself included, is perfect. What needs to be done is to the best of your abilities overcome those flaws and, in your case (and in the case of a lot of people here) accept the theories of others for the simple fact stated above: everyone is correct until proven otherwise, if by countering evidence or the authors themselves.
We don't know whats in store for us, so lets just have fun tossing around ideas; odds are 95% are wrong in some way, my own theory likely in that 95%. You're right on one thing though, grey: Greg Bear would likely not create a story around something already guessed at unless he has his trilogy already mapped out (which I don't doubt, but again, who knows, so lets just get back to talking).
again roberto you assume that i am upset or something merely because of a few words, like i told you last time if i was mad i would say " i am ragin". not to mention you clearly came into my thread with the intentions of starting such a discussion with me to make me mad and "make me look bad" or something of the likes.
So your trying to tell me that they would make some random ships put a powder on it to attack the forerunners and make them think some random race is attacking them? they did all that and still lost? if you want that plot that is fine but that is horrible.
the prisoner the prisoner the prisoner we know nothing of him yet everybody is making up all of these ideas around him, how about wait until more info is released before trying to make up a somewhat decent idea. until then i am just not going to answer anything relating to that.
and roberto this thread isn't about you and your ideas, again you clearly came in here to start something with me, so if you want to talk about your ideas (which i don't mind doing in a thread of yours) quote this and PM me about it. if you want to argue PM me about it. stop harassing and getting off topic on the threads.
