Title: MT storyline
Post by: Vasudan Commander on July 28, 2007, 11:42:21 am
I was wondering if one of you guys from MT would be so kind as to give us a rough outline of what the storyline of MT is? Thanks  ;)

Ok

You see, there's these funny pink rabbits from another galaxy, and their looking forward to conquer the universe.

So basically the GTVA has to hold off the rabbit advance. You'll be playing Alpha 2 (Alpha 1 has retired), and will engage in compelling missions against the pink rabbits.

Basically thats it. For more info you can check the fiction section of the Machina Terra website :D

his thread and this forum are actually being not being replied to at all.  Styxx has enabled the staff to transmit directly to your subconscious mind, and you only think you are seeing this forum.  Further, there is actually no Machina Terra Mod.  Well I am not technically correct in that, there is a mod, it exists, but only in our heads, as we of the MT staff share our thoughts....and Styxx head is a scary place to be.  I digress, When you download MT, you will actually be downloading nothing but a conscious thought, which is being placed into your subconscious by what Styxx invented and HiG calls "The Pink Leg Warmers of Speed". 

How do they work?

Styxx puts the Pink Leg Warmers on and begins humming the theme from "Leave it to Beaver", once this has been happening for at least 12 minutes, he puts his cigar out in a Rum and Coke, at which point the resulting temperature rise coupled with the sonic vibrations of "Leave it to Beaver" turn the grass outside his house blue.  Once the grass is blue he rolls some into a piece of paper and he then lights a marble on fire (which is a hell of a trick) using the marble as his new incendiary device he quickly lights the leg warmers on fire and then dowses them witht he rum and coke.  After all of this it is a simple matter of adding three hot pepper seeds to a duracell battery, with a twist of lemon, and then using a penny and a screwdriver to run current through the leg warmers.  With the durrent running, and his legs starting to sweat, he takes the blue grass and paper and places them on the microwave, thus drying them both out rather quickly.  And that is how the Pink Leg Warmers of Speed allow us to place a conscious thought into your subconscious mind.

so there it is copied it from old Shadowwolfs post :p

Snail, I have a mission for the good of all life on this planet:  Eat that leekspin bunny in your sig.  Once it's gone, the world will be safe again.  No, really, it's a bunny, it's just disguised as a girl... ya, that's why she has the leek.  Because she's really a bunny.  And that's also why you can't understand what she's saying, because bunnies can't talk, so she has to pretend.

She may be a bunny, but just because you CAN eat it doesn't mean you HAVE to eat it. I should know. *glares at the French* :P

You assume I want to change the future by removing that link. But what you fail to see is that the opposite is exactly my intention.

Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti
jalakani pohjii kutkutti.
Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti
vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti,
sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa
kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä
ko immeiset onnee toevotti.
Peä oli märkänä jokaisella
ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti.
Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Ievan äiti se kammarissa
virsiä veisata huijjuutti,
kun tämä poika naapurissa
ämmän tyttöä nuijjuutti.
Eikä tätä poikoo ämmät haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Siellä oli lystiä soiton jäläkeen

Kottiin ko mäntii ni ämmä se riitelj
ja Ieva jo alako nyyhkyytteek.
Minä sanon Ievalle mitäpä se haittaa
laskemma vielähi laiasta laitaa.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Muorille sanon jotta tukkee suusi
en ruppee sun terveyttäs takkoomaa.
Terveenä peäset ku korjoot luusi
ja määt siitä murjuus makkoomaa.
Ei tätä poikoo hellyys haittaa
ko akkoja huhkii laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt

Sen minä sanon jotta purra pittää
ei mua niin voan nielasta.
Suat männä ite vaikka lännestä ittään

sillä ei tätä poikoo kainous haittaa
sillon ko tanssii laiasta laitaan.

    Traduzione Leva’s Polka - translation

    The sound of a polka drifted from my neighbor’s
    and set my feet a-tapping oh!
    Ieva’s mother had her eye on her daughter but
    Ieva she managed to fool her, you know.
    ‘Cause who’s going to listen to mother saying no
    when we’re all busy dancing to and fro!

    Ieva was smiling, the fiddle it was wailing
    as people crowded round to wish her luck.
    Everyone was hot but it didn’t seem to bother
    the handsome young man, the dashing buck.
    ‘Cause who’s going to mind a drop of sweat
    when he’s all busy dancing to and fro!

    Ieva’s mother she shut herself away
    in her own quiet room to hum a hymn.
    Leaving our hero to have a spot of fun
    in a neighbor’s house when the lights are dim.
    ‘Cause what does it matter what the old folks say
    when you’re all busy dancing to and fro!

    When the music stopped then the real fun began
    and that’s when the laddie fooled around.
    When he took her home, when the dancing was over
    her mother angrily waiting they found.
    But I said to her, Ieva, now don’t you weep
    and we’ll soon be dancing to and fro!

    I said to her mother now stop that noise
    or I won’t be responsible for what I do.
    If you go quietly and stay in your room
    you won’t get hurt while your daughter I woo.
    ‘Cause this fine laddie is a wild sort of guy
    when he’s all busy dancing to and fro!

    One thing I tell you is you won’t trap me,
    no, you won’t find me an easy catch.
    Travel to the east and travel to the west but
    Ieva and I are going to make a match.
    ‘Cause this fine laddie ain’t the bashful sort
    when he’s all busy dancing to and fro.

As you can see, the 4th stanza is the lyrics being sung. However there are 7 stanzas in the original Finnish lyrics and only 6 stanzas in the English lyrics, which indeed points to the fact the 4th stanza is gibberish.

It shouldn't be intelligible. That's why it's funny. A constant stream of crap. I don't give two craps about what it means.

Sorry to spoil the fun, but the translation is:

Ok, a bit more seriously, there's a lot of the plot of MT on the Storyline section of the MT website. Check the War Tales and Intercepted Transmissions for some actual story info.
