I had already proved that "Fallen" can mean a "Fallen Lord" in a previous thread somewhere in this mess of a string, now I will quote to prove that "Fallen Lords" can mean "Fallen":
"Fifteen of us are to stay now, perhaps to fight boredom instead of the Fallen Lords, and watch the bridge here for two days."
Clearly that narrator didn't expect to personally engage one of the six Fallen Lords.
the above quote from Crow's Bridge shows us that "Fallen Lords" and "Fallen" can be interchangable, even though this is not the best idea all the time.
now that that mess is settled, I will address this:
Forrest and I believe soulblighter us alive and modified, and i speculate further that perhaps because soulblighter has no heart, he is in a kind of limbo like state (not unliving! not half-unliving! not undead! not half-undead! not three and a half quarters unliving plus nine and nine tenths undead! just living!).
Archer and silicon dream believe he is unliving and modified.
our beliefs about GURPS are radically different in some ways and mirror reflections in others, but we have to agree on this at least:
whatever happens in Myth III has to be treated as what happened in Myth II, as canon, and not MJ's interpretation of Bungie, rather MJ's completely valid *expansion* of Bungie's hopelessy messy plot.
Myth three has 50 different new units (not just the same polygonal units with different attacks, no, all new polygonal units) and unknowable tons of scenery and other details. the work put into the gameplay, as it seems right now, scares us a little because we have doubts that the same amount of work is being pushed onto the story. am I right?
sc seems to be pretty confident that Myth III will answer our questions... he mentioned something like 'forums that talk about who is who' in clear reference to us here at the Asylum. i am informed that although some matters obviously won't be settled, we have to look again at GURPS's definition of dreams, because ghols have at least one dream power in MWA, and we doubted their ability to use magic at all... much less a Dream.
therefore, dreams might not actually be what gurps says, but who knows, we'll just have to wait for my birthday, when Myth goes GM :)
err at least when they release it for the public :P
