: Although i do agree in part with your comments,
: i would have to state these points in defense.
: Although the Encyclopedia is prob the most important
: resource available, save for gurps and the myth
: documentation itself, (and the comic of course)
: The section just gathers other data, from other sources,
: and displays it to you in a series of quotes. I know
: it has bells and whistles, but that is essentially
: it's purpose.
: Therefore it differs from the GURPS style somewhat.
: and is perhaps worthy of a seperate section in whatever
: site.
: Also, The delusions section, firstly is called the
: 'delusions' section, which in itself is very accurate
: as the section contains a series of different
: theories, to give the reader a wide choice of
: material, from which they make their own judgements
: and desicions etc.
The Delusions section is for the crazy theories. The Relics section is for factual articles. Writing factual articles on all of the topics you would put in this "Myth college" would fit perfectly in Relics. If you have any crazy wild theories, they should go in Delusions.
Also, I think that presenting one single theory as THE TRUTH is a very bad idea. Write up the facts, quoting sources. Then from those facts, write up the possible theoretical conclusions which could be drawn from them - ALL of the conclusions. Let the reader decide which theory they subscribe to.
: This (on the whole) does not constitute however, one
: consolodated view, a single doctrine, which people can
: disagree with if nessesary. such as gurps could be
: seen as being.
GURPS is cannon, except obvious screwups like the Deceiver. Bungie said it was cannon. If we can't take Bungie's word on what is cannon in their universe, then we're just making it up as we go along.
And again, teaching newbies "This is the truth" when it's really just one theory is a very bad idea. In a physics class, they don't present all the current laws and then choose one Grand Unified Hypothesis as the truth to teach their students. They say "these are the facts. these are theories that work. these are some theories that try to tie them all together - those folks believe this, these folks believe that, etc". And the students believe whatever they want to believe. This is good education.
: gurps is pretty good, however, when myth 3 comes out,
: will be incomplete, and is not able to be displayed
: over the internet via a webpage/site.
GURPS can be transcribed. That's the next thing on my to-do list. And Myth 3 obviously draws a lot of its info from GURPS - Moagim Reborn, for example, who was never heard of before GURPS.
: having the 'myth college' as mearly a section of another
: site, does not have the same effect, and changes the
: meaning of the idea.
Why is that? You present the same information in (mostly) the same way, but within the established framework of this site. It works perfectly. Somebody chime in and support me!
And also, I think it is rather rude of you to be discussing a potential competitor to my site on my forums. But if it's being discussed at all, I suppose this is the best place for it.
