Title: Outrageous Shivan Theory
Post by: Snail on January 24, 2008, 03:32:08 pm
This is another theory I thought up of just now. I don't like it. But here it is anyway. But remember that I don't like it. So if you start hurling criticism at it I won't object.


The Shivans were at one point a nice happy peaceful race. Their ships were PINK and weak, like the Mephisto. For a long time they observed the universe from their planet, Shivanland. But then one day the Ancients came along with their plasma beams of doom and almost exterminated the Shivans. But some of the Shivans escaped and with their powerful processing power created hundreds and hundreds of evil ships to strike back at the Ancients. And to make sure no one rebelled against them they became a hivemind. Their new ships were powerful and RED. With this new fleet the Shivans annihilated the Ancients all on their own. But lots of them were dead. So they grew angry and swore never to let it happen again.

So then the Shivans went to sleep for 8,000 years until they sensed some subspace disturbances on the edge of space. So they sent the tiniest fleet their could muster to the area. There they met the Terrans and the Vasudans. Their special flagship was super-duper powerful, the Lucifer. But in the end it got whooped, and the Shivans got angry again. So they built another big kickass fleet, the Sathanas fleet. Instead of their strategic attack the Lucifer tried, the Sathanas fleet attacked with blinding fury until they could get to the Capella star. At the Capella star, they powered up their ALL NEW SUBSPACE WEAPON which was used to nuke everything in the system. They planned to do this to every single star in the GTVA so that no other 'known' life forms could ever evolve there. And it was just so kick ass.

But then Admiral Aken Bosch came into the picture. Bosch, using his genius, was able to outsmart the Shivan hivemind into thinking he was an ally. Then when he got to the Shivan hivemind (who stupidly let him see it in person), he infected it with a computer virus that made it subservient to him. So now he controlled the Shivans (by this point the nodes to Capella had already collapsed). With the whole Shivan fleet under his command he went to the GTVA and made peace. So began the First Great and Bountiful Terran Empire (or FGABTE for short). And they lived happily ever after.

Outrageous, colors included. Get your flamethrowers out now, boys!

If you get too pissed off with the colors just highlight it and they'll go away.

At least until the Daleks showed up. Daleks would woop the bacside of any race in the universe, even the Time-lords (not counting the Doctor, he's far more than just a time-lord"  :lol:

Are you just trolling because you think people shouldn't think seriously about FreeSpace?
Title: Re: Outrageous Shivan Theory
Post by: terran_emperor on January 24, 2008, 03:49:32 pm
who are you refering to? me or Snail?

If me, I was joking...because Snail's theory here is just soo silly...On the other hand, it might be so silly that it is actually true ;)

Or maybe Snail's point was that we shouldn't be taking FreeSpace too seriously.

That's what I said, that he's trying to quash serious discussion of Shivan technology by posting a troll thread.
Title: Re: Outrageous Shivan Theory
Post by: terran_emperor on January 24, 2008, 04:02:27 pm
What's wrong with posting a humourous thread right after a serious one?

Believe me seeing this was a major relief, because after the seriousness of that thread i needed something to relieve the tension  :P

There are too many serious threads on this forum. We need more humour!!!

Troll thread or not, this was my reaction:

 :wtf:  ---> :wakka: ---->  :rolleyes:

Humorous indeed, Snail.  :yes:

Now my real fear is that some newbie will quote this topic as evidence in a serious discussion...  :nervous:

I like to be serious to extent, it adds depth to custom mods and storyline breakthroughs never thought of before. :)

It's a noob's own, personal boo-hoo, if the word 'pink' doesn't make him doubt the canon value of Snail's theory.

I wondering how stupid someone will be to quote this as serious evidence...

Do you remember that guy who did that picture of the Colossus holding off the Sathanas by batting it out of the system? Its in one of the threads on this section - can't remember which though

Edit: It was WMCoolmon

Snails theory is just as silly as that origin theory in his deviantart gallery - the one showing the shivans being in mass debt and the Vasudans went able to help so a pair of Sathanas push Vasuda Prime closer to the Vasuda Star deciding that next time it would be easier just to nuke the star instead. Rof:lol:mao

Big alien robots from Dr. Who. Imagine a large garbage can on wheels with guns and a plunger like thing.

I don't think Snail really has a theory.  He's just trying to get that Rainbow Bright title Mobius had before someone else does.

Go watch Doctor Who. It's one of the greatest shows ever.

Yeah...Especially the classic episodes from 63-89.

None taken... as I don't live in the UK, I can't be expected to know about popular shows over there, eh?

(Especially considering I hardly pay attention to what is popular in America, for that matter...)

I know Doctor Who is really popular, and I know the Daleks are mechanical alien enemies in the show... but yeah, that's about it.

Outrageous. I'm from Europe as well, and I didn't know what Daleks are, but not knowing Star Wars?  :eek: It's like not knowing about the president of the USA or so... Dammit, GDrax... You're unbelievable... Take a look at R2-D2 here (http://www.myfreewallpapers.net/starwars/pages/astromech-r2-d2.shtml). He does look like those Daleks, just somewhat less old-fashioned.

It's one thing not to watch Star Wars but R2-D2's name is basically part of pop-culture now (same as the Daleks are over here). Even people who would never watch the films know what R2-D2 is. It's like having no idea who Captain Kirk or Spock are.

Not necessarily...check the classic series...There are events which lead earth to war with the daleks mid 3rd millenium and later in the year 4000...The events of those stories is generally believed to have resulted in wars with the Daleks

If Trashman is foolish enough to judge a TV Show based on a wikipedia entry despite so many here saying that they like it let him remain in ignorance.

I find it quite funny that it's taken so long for Dr Who to break into the foreign markets. We are, after all, talking about the longest running sci-fi show on TV. Yeah, I know the show has been updated but a lot of the elements that made it so good in the older shows are still there.  :D

Who's captain kirk and spock? (kidding)

I'm from down under, that's my favourite show!(doctor who is, not star treck)! But i only have seen the new color ones with actual special effects (that apparently are the opposite of special), i haven't got to see any others.

Okay if your in a america, i'd understand that you wouldn't know 2 bob about the rest of the world, but if you were in england or something, like, everyone would no who doctor who is (who?)
