It only matters what is actually declared as canon by the company. In Star Trek's case: only the things that are actually made by the company, the TV shows, Movies, and Technical Manuals. In Myth's case: the games themselves and the manuals. There is no way, no way, you can refute that Bungie only approved what IT made as canon. If you disagree, present the physical evidence. Otherwise, we go by what is already clear.
Only in extremely situations should this have exception, and none are readily apparent except in theory.
: Of course, we can only
: verify the ones we actually saw in-game--but to
: believe that Seabolt maliciously inserted a few extras
: in exactly the same writing style and format is highly
: irrational, IMO.
Not in the slightest. He wished to create better clarity for his readers, and so inserted a few things. The same writing style? It's only a few words, and anyone can easily copy a writing style, not to mention hand-writing style and signiture.
: In any event, writing a word of GURPS Myth certainly
: wouldn't be the job of any Bungie employee. They're
: not professional writers. Seabolt writes the book
: under any circumstances. He just takes info from
: people like Rob.
Your proof? None. Your reasoning? You see a title and a name. Nice imperical evidence
(please pardon my sarcasm, but every time I knock out a leg of your proverbial table, you invent a new one, each time less poignant)
: It's the creative team that matters.
Actually, it's anything the company or companies want. It might be a shame in some cases, but in reality it keeps us from making errors which are unintended.
: As I asked you. Why are you interested in story analysis?
: Why are you on this forum?
Ah, an interesting and complex question. I like the story of Myth. I like theorizing about what's missing in the story. I like learning abouts other people's ideas and expressing my own. I like debate. :-) That's pretty much the most straightforward answer you'll get from me. I share as well your own interests at being here.
: Shiver "lingered in defeat," and her body was a
: pile of ashes. I think the meaning's clear, especially
: when coupled with her M2 flavor.
That's fine. It doesn't really matter.
: And we left the original topic days ago. Can't stop now!
We could
