Title: The FS community and the FS universe: a comparison
Post by: Terminator on July 12, 2005, 07:13:01 pm
While eating lunch today, I realized how similar the two are. I'll explain:


Freespace Events will be explained as if in any normal paragraph, however next to a particular event, the similar event that took place in real life will be in (parentheses).

In the beginning of Freespace (The days when Freespace made its debut) everything was in order. The terrans (FS community) had a home, Sol (VBB), in which government and economic power (tech support, mod development) was centralized, with each of the other star systems (websites) using sol (V) as a reference point.

During this time the Terrans (FS Community) were at war with the vasudans (Interplay). The war had been fought for an extremely long time, with both sides suffering heavy losses. However that would all end when a third species, the shivans (THQ) entering the scene. This new race led to the destruction of vasuda prime (interplay) and the collapse of the sol node (vbb closing).

After it all ended, the Terrans (FS Community) searched for a new home. Many settled in various systems (websites) but one eventually became our new home, Capella (HLP). The BETAC Treaty (Source Code Project) Centralized power within our new order of things.

There was also a coup by the GTI (Derek Smart) to seize control of the post-sol (VBB) provisional government, and dissolve the terran-vasudan treaty (FS3 stuff)

There is no word of a NTF (HLP) Rebellion or second Shivan (THQ) Incursion that I know of, however.

Is it possible that by creating this game, V plotted the course of their own future?

:nervous:

HLP ain't no Capella. Capella was never the new center of Terran government and society in general. And no supernova is about to consume this place.

Thats why my predictions stop before the NTF rebellion.

I didn't compare Interplay to the Vasudans. I compared Interplay to Vasuda Prime

If this stuff is correct, then Mike Breault and Jason Scott are prophets.

Well....dynamic4 was removed as it was giving problems after that, right? And it also no longer exists, and HLP has 'migrated' over to just plain dynamic now, so it could be considered sort of like moving out, like the Capellan refugees :p

it'd probly be better to consiter the two main FS comunities, Vwatch, the anchent and powerful ones, and HLP the upstart new site, to be Vasudans and Terrans respectively, Vwatch got nuked after all, and then allied with HLP.

or you could go back into truely anchent history and talk about PFS, and DC (and R128 and... others)

Bob: truly ancient history= the metaphorical '9 cities of Troy' Bosche mentioned.

This is rather odd.

This has been done already.

We need to set up a time and spot to get together and figure out what all of this means.
