First this entire arguement goes into far more technicalities than I care to go into, so I'm not picking any side, however, I must point out this:
: Lol, no it's not. Despite that, it's not even IN MYTH.
: Myth is hardly an RPG or some other stupid mythology.
Um.. ACTUALLY. If I'm correct, Myth *is* an RPG, ie, GURPS.
I know that didn't come first and isn't canon, however, Myth most definately is an RPG.
And provided that I'm correct again, which I most definately am, Myth's world is constructed using archetypes from and references to mythology of ever discernable sort - hence the name MYTH. MYTH MYTH MYTH!
Do you *really* think that bungie made the entire world out of nothing, just like, made shit up? And most of it happened to coincide with known myths and folklore and legendary stories? Why is it, do you suppose, that many of the names or events in myths have that vague familiarity to them? You don't get that kind of familiarity from something some programmer sitting in his basement just thinks up! It's because they are from mythology, and you've probably heard of many of them on some subconscious level.
And, using 'lol' in what you claim to be a respectful and serious arguement appears to be a mocking tactic, which really takes away from your pretence of seriousness and respectability!
I'm completely impartial to the arguement, I don't think either side was right, but I had to point that out.
