the right timeline an attack on GURPS

Allright, after reading the macaddict intewiew with the Bungie man, it became clear to me that the GURPS timeline aint even a possble timelin theory any moore.

one of the first thing to critizize with the GURPS timline is that there is no proove. GURPS dont tell why they have this theori.
they just present it and many aslylumers just yes here is the answer.

But after reading that macadiict article i became aware that the old ASylum timeline was the most correct, because it dont conflict with any of the things the bungie man said.
GURPS is an allright book, a good book. they describe the different races almost supremely,and i think that it is also in their race discription they have used the secret bungie files.

I have also heard some people saying that Connacht ruled over the wolf age and that the sword age wa supposed to be dark, but if you follow the original timeline, the timeline that dosn't conflict with neither the article or the game, then you can see that the sword age was supposed to be light, and tada it was light, no problem there.

What GURPS does is that it takes the only age we have a good knowledge of and says the is an exeption not the rule.

let us now see what happened in the dark wolf age and in the light sword age.

wOLF AGE.
Balor appears
Muirthemne is sacked.
Cath Bruig fell.
Balor infiltrated the east and the west.
balor build up an enermeus army.
Balor conqured Gower, a land that is an outpost, that means that there is a strong military activity.
also it means that Cath burig used alot of power trying to stop balor before he reached the mainland cath bruig.
Balor took over the myrmidioans
civil war in the west.
evidence indicates war between Cath bruig and the west.
population became poor because of the wars.
Deciver switched over to the dark.
watcher teamed up with Balor
Soulblighter temaed up with Balor
Shiver teamed up wit Balor
etc. etc.

sword age.
Alric rises.
dark progress is stopped after 17 years in the west.
balor is killed
watcher is killed
shiver is killed
deciver almost killed
faceless man killed
bonesplitter killed
soulblighter killed
deciver killed
shiver killed again.
the dark collapses.
the west is united.
economic progress during the peace.
peace between fir' bolg and humans
peace between Trow and humans
Cath bruig rebuild, alric new emperor.

actuelly the only weird thing is Soulblighter viontly attack on the west.
but that can be explained by the fact that Soulblighter and deciver survided, so alric didn't defeat all evil.
so what i am saying is that Alric first won when he killed Soulblighter.

so here it is the orrigianl and coreect time line.

1. Era

name-----light/dark----hero/bad guy----east/west--year.
1.age unknown--dark---------unknown--------- west-----0-500
2.age axe age--light--------unknown---------east----500-1000

2.ERA
3.age unknown--dark--------unknown-------east-----1000-1500
4.age age of light Tireces west 1500-2000
reason
3.ERA

unknown--dark-------Moagim--------west-----2000-2500

Wind age--light----Connacht------east-----2500-3000
4.ERA

Wolf age--dark-----Balor-----------east----3000-3500

sword age--light----Alric-----------west----3500-4000

there it was the only weakness of this is that we dont know the names of all the dark ages, but i know why. imagine
you being a peasent in the wolf age. your village is burning and muirthemne is sacked. now would you think "i must remember the name of tha old dark age" no you dont
you forget the old evil ages and think about all the light ages , because you know that someday the light will come again. That is also the reason why we only remember then name of one evil lord and that is Moagim, the explenation on this is that Connacht is still rembered as a great hero ( especcialy in Myth TFL) and when you know conaacht you also know the tales of the enemy i fought aginst.

then we have the first Era nothin exept the name of the axe age is remembered from here, but it is also 3500 years from the sword age to the first evil age. none of you knows the names of 4000 year old heroes, and especcialy not if your nation was overun by an evil lord every thousand yers right.

oaky that is all i have to say about that, and if any of you belive in the official bungie sources more than an RPG book then this theory would seem correct, but if you thrust GURPS better than the official games and official bungie sources then you can't support this theory.

but the GURPS people have one thing left and that is that bungie accepted the book, i think i know the reason why:
allriht bungie thought it was a good book for RPG wich is what the book is meant for, and the timelien is a theory, and BUngie wouldn't say that that theory is some shit rewrtie it.

GURPS is a book of theories a guiding line, not a fact book!
