In Response To: Re: Myth III: The Contradiction (Once more) (The Butcher)

: There are more contradictions mentioned on this post, I'm
: sure, but I have a bad short term memory. On to the
: ponderables. I'll start with this quote: "Ah,
: Sinis! I thought you died when Mazzarin collapsed the
: Shrine of Nyx upon you!" Here is the first (and,
: in the reliable texts of Myth I and II, only)
: reference to Nyx, which Myth III's team later
: developed as the Trow god.

Actually, GURPS first said that Nyx was the Trow's goddess. Scott Cambell used GURPS as "inspiration", which is why Myth 3 isn't even more innacurate: GURPS spells a lot of accurate information out in really plain, hard-to-misunderstand terms. Unfortunately he discarded the bits that he didn't like and seems to have missed, misinterpreted, or fudged lots of other bits, as well as parts from TFL and M2, to create the M3 story.

: But also, this quote makes
: reference to Mazzarin, who is (only in Myth III, mind
: you) said to be the first and greatest avatara.

Again, GURPS is the original source for Mazzarin being the founder of the Avatara. And personally, I consider GURPS a much more accurate source than Myth III, because despite some of it's careless errors it was closely overlooked by the original Bungie team, and has lots of information in it that could only have been gotten from Bungie, which I know personally to be accurate.

I should start a new thread on this...
