In Response To: What does Rubicon even mean? (RyokoTK)

: I mean, I know what the real Rubicon is, and the whole expression of
: "crossing the Rubicon," but I don't see how that plays out in
: the Rubicon scenario at all. Maybe I'm missing something?
We had originally intended to call it "Marathon: Chimera", after the crashed ship. And the title became even more appropriate after it swallowed two other scenarios. Unfortunately, a certain Myth scenario with the same name beat us to it and we had to rename the thing.
Having tried several titles that were stupid and or inappropriate, I ended up looking through my CD collection for ideas and ended up with "Rubicon". I think we managed to find some connection between "Rubicon" and the scenario, but I can't remember what it was.
