Almost the biggest. It almost have the same post with the thread about "why do the ur-quan don't use their battle thralls against the koar-ah?", but that thread is over. They have the answer. Here we will NEVER have an answer.
Lets get to topic, shall we?

I really really don't have time to read the WHOLE thread, so excuse me if I repeat something that someone said.
I think that everything has a connection. Deep JIffa(ahem *children*), the Orz and *they*. I mean, they all talk about the same *thing*. Every race has its own goals to achive for them. I honestly don't know what is the job of the mycon(Maybe preaparing the land for the right tempature for *civilization* )but I know that both Orz and Arilou have the same goal: Destroy humans. The Orz killed our "brothers", the synth and I agree with sc3(not 100%) that the Arilou are just using us. I have a long theory about things in sc universe, but it will take to much time, and you know I am lazy, and people don't understand what I write... Tongue

Deep-Jiffa, how do you want to restart the discussion if you are not exposing your theory for a debate?

And for me, yes, the Arilou are using us.
But they are not trying to kill us (they could have done so, when they visited the Kelts. remember, they even liked us so much, that they took the name, the kelts gave them, as their racename). And the Mycon, Orz and Arilou do not want the same. In the eyes of the Mycon, they are not killing us, they are voiding the non. Granted, for us the effect is the same.
I do not know the plans of either the Arilou or the Orz.
I cannot really speculate and provide hints for the theories possible.
Only the Mycon are clear to me: a faulty programming made them voiding the non, and that means results in killing everything, which makes them even worse than the Ur-Quan Kohr-Ah.

Enjoy!

But the question still remains - who took/killed the androsyn? the Orz or *they* or both?

I'm certain it's in this thread, but:
Quote
<Fwiffo> In regards to the Androsynth: They were snagged by the entity who/which projected its  fingers into our dimension (which looked to us as the Orz.)

That's good enough for me.  And BTW, that's not the in-game fwiffo, that's PR3 using fwiffo's name in an old chat.

Well look who came out of the wooodwork! Nice to see you again Censored, and yes, I distinctly rememeber this thread from around the time I joined.

On topic I have nothing to add, other than that anyone wanting to plow through this entire thing has got a lot of work ahead of them... But it may well be worth it.

Excuse me *many times* for not reading all those 16 pages ... are you writing a book here or what?

But what I hastely gathered, it seems everyone has their own theories for the Orz and Arilou ... you know, both being uncomprehendable and mysterious, mainly living in their own region of dimension etc. I'll give you my boring theory, which nobody understands (read my previous posts on other threads).

I think it is possible the Arilou and Orz are in a Kzer-Za vs. Kohr-Ah -like situation. Arilou try to do something and the Orz try to do the same thing, but differently. I hope you all know the Arilou are trying to modify humans or that-a-like since they are on the edge of their existence... Are the Orz nearing the end as well then?

I didn't make any sense this time either ...

Oh and Orz are evil. Really they are. They float in ethanol, they gotta be evil, or at least drunk.

I dont like the idea of a official explanation for the orz.
the reason why I would never have ine is that there are thing in our real would that can never be explained and if they ever were figured out this world would seem a dull and boring place.

so if you ever explain the orz, arilou and other mysterios races the game would lose some of that life.

Exactly. We don't break topics, we take over the finished ones. In that spirit, consider this:

If the Orz, as stated by the creators if one single entity, does it have any concept or understanding of the damage and hurt it can cause others? Can it understand the concept others? When the Orz *dance*, is it able to comprehend that the others do not only get their *fingers* *cut*, but their lives extinguished? And does this make it inccoent, even though it is capable of mayhem?
