In Response To: Re: Spec Thoughts Part I: The Crisis of the Sanghe (gspawn)
: First up: You seem to be taking Halo wwwaaayyyy too seriously. It's just a
: game. Not a religion. Not a philosophy (unless you're a programmer / small
: busines). Calm down, and stop feeling the need to use big words and tons
: of prose. Totally unnecessary.
: And they're Elites, now whatever their Covenant name is. You need to learn
: the Elite part, not the other name. I barely even recognize their Covenant
: name, but Elite is known even outside fanboys.
: -With the help of Johnson and Miranda, the filthy humans. You can't split up
: the two sections- it's one thought. No one in the Covenant would make any
: distinction.
: -Or damn him eternally, depending on how everything else works out.
: -For us, not them. Chief will stop the Prophets. The Elites have the military
: strengh (with the Hunters) to be just fine. Technically, humanity doesn't
: have to matter at all to the Elites. They CAN help us, but not must.
: -I'm sure "Half-jaw" as you put it (it isn't a jaw, they're just
: mandibles that are really more of an accessory than necessity) can ready a
: ship for everyone.
: -Again, Chief has his part under control (we assume) and the Elites are
: probably going to win their fight. There's not as much urgency as you'd
: like to think.
: -Seriously, it's not a religion. You don't have to write all that prose.
: -Stop that. Please.
: -WTF!? The Elites got kicked out by the Prophets, you mean.
: -You already said the Elites are going to win the battle. They're fine, by
: your own assumptions. Stop worrying. They're fine.
: -Master Chief and Johnson have that Klingon-type warrior's honor that will
: surely earn praise from Elites that don't mind the idea of an alliance.
: The rest of humanity would earn a spot because the Elite's old religious
: side might tell them that they used to be just as lost. Expect Elite
: churches to open on/near Earth. We all hope they want to accept us,
: because if they don't, we're dead.
: -MC was only a demon for being one of the "men in special armor"
: that fought so hard, and then he landed on/destroyed Halo, which is now a
: symbol of the Elite's brainwashing by the Prophets. Chief might just turn
: out to be the Elites' new Jesus (don't read too much into that), because
: his efforts will change their culture forever. He and Arbiter will always
: be the ones who allowed the Elites to "throw off the shackles"
: of the Prophets and rise up.
: -Not going to happen. MC is the new incarnation of Marathon's security
: officer, and as we all know, the Hero will live forever (bla bla... read
: the last terminal of Infinity).
: BTW: You seem to miss a big thing here... the Prophets blinded the Elites and
: tried to use them for (centuries? millenia?), and currently lead the
: Brutes against them. The Elites probably think the only form of redemption
: will come by blood- IE: Slaughtering the Prophets and Brutes until they
: wide up and swear a new allegiance. There's nothing for the Heirarchs to
: figure out, except trying to decide which will be more important: bowing
: down before the Elites or having big metal boots going into their
: intestines. The choice would come to them quickly... all IMHO.
Just call the Jiralhanae Brutes, okay? The human name for Jiralhanae fits them better.
