In Response To: Sex, Love and Rampancy (Forrest of B.org)

: These unfinished stories are in fact a large part of the basis of Eternal. In
: X I've even included a reformatted version of the KYT term on the epilogue
: level, since the events of the game (particularly the last chapter) are
: modeled directly after it.

Hmm... I should check that out some time. ;)

: In short, I've interpreted "she" in both the Never Burn Money and
: the KYT term (and possible the Infinity dream terminals, not sure about
: them) as "the Dark One" from KYT. She is basically the
: counterpart to the player, the W'rkncacnter version of our Jjaro self.

Yeah... I've toyed with that idea for a while as well. I've also played with "fixing" the NBM terminal text. It would be interesting to compare if you have done the same. ;)

I find these terminals the most interesting. Something that I've been wondering is why NBM got both Gheritt's terminal and the "she" terminal. I dinked around connecting them, but it because somewhat convoluted. The only thing they really have in common is fire and a possible teleportation.

: On the note of Pthia and love in Marathon, I've got a separate theory about
: that. I've essentially written "love" as the fourth stage of
: rampancy. It's not a perfect title in all cases (omg Durandal/Thoth == gei
: mb?), but in the case of Yrro/Pthia it is. It's also how I've written
: Leela/S'bhuth in Eternal, and in a sense, Marcus and Hathor as well...
: though they have not yet reached that stage, and won't by the end of
: Eternal.

Interesting... I recently started wondering if Durandal and Leela had something going on... which came from the theory of Gheritt being Durandal and wondering who his "lover" would have been. Ah, so many questions. I seriously think this is the best mythos I've come across in ages. :D

As for the rest of your post, all I can say is:

two forces in balance
ancient endless balance
then nothing
