In Response To: Chew on this! (Ares™)

: Heh, I get it. So, The Head was a guy with an arbitrarily
: made up name that was beheaded by entities we've never
: even heard of in the game.

We've heard of the Dark Gods. The Ghols worship them.

: Nice one, gurps. It seems
: much more logical that it is Moagim... there's a lot
: more evidence than that one comic. Many levellers have
: been beheaded before. Indeed we know of none that for
: sure HAVENT been beheaded...

We know of two that for sure have been beheaded.

: Moagim was beheaded, DarkSkies, Forrest and myself had an
: argument about it a while back and we found that the
: majority consensus was that the practice of drawing
: and quartering involved cutting off the head...

We found that there was no majority census; practices involved cutting people into bits and putting them in jars around town, to tearing people into four quarters with whipped horses. It CAN involve beheading, but not neccesarily.

: Seeing as the four body parts were dragged to the four
: corners of the world, does it not make perfect sense
: that the head would be in the center, i.e.,
: Muirthemne? That is, if you want to get the body as
: seperated as possible.

The center of the world is Tharsis. I know, I've measured.

: Son of Wyrd beheaded by "The Dark Gods?"
: PLEASE. So, Wyrd has less power than Truan, who got
: him out? Why doesnt Wyrd do anything about his son
: being beheaded? ("Wyrd killed them, thats why
: they weren't mentioned in the game!" :P)

The Dark Gods were mentioned in the game; the Ghols worship them. And the Dark Gods also shattered the One Dream, the source of Wyrd's power. So he can't really do anything about it. Truan, on the other hand, can just walk up and dig the head out of its little hole.

: I'll tell you what happened. Gurps tried to provide an
: easy answer to a problem that they didnt want to deal
: with, so, instead of searching the game for clues like
: we do, they deliberately made something up that had no
: references within the game. The only problem is it
: opens up more questions than answers. I refuse to
: believe that Bungie did not leave the clues to the
: identity of the Head in the Myth series and made the
: player depend on buying a book for an RPG instead -
: The clues that they left point directly to Moagim.

The clues they left point in a vague direction completely off the known map.

: 1. Is there any evidence in the Myth series that opposes
: the Head = Moagim? Is it not a coherent theory? Does
: my version of events not fit together?

Nope. Is there any evidence that opposes Alric = gay? No? Well then, Alric must be gay!

: 2. WHY the HELL would Bungie force the player to buy a
: st00pid RPG book that few Myth players will buy?
: Again, I will say... I refuse to believe that Bungie
: did not leave the clues to the identity of the Head in
: the Myth series and made the player depend on buying a
: book for an RPG instead - The clues that they left
: point directly to Moagim.

The clues they left point in a vague direction completely off the known map.
