In Response To: Re: Timelines (Jabberwok)

: And now that I'm more familiar with the plot, it makes sense to me that
: reality itself had fractured, perhaps because of the Wrkncaknter's release
: (wrong spelling, I'm sure), and the player may or may not have the ability
: to navigate these branching timelines.

Greg Kirkpatrick and Chris Geisel claimed "How the player is able to do this jumping has to do with the unique interaction between Jjaro technology and sentient creatures".[1]

: In fact, thinking about it now, the star goes nova at the end of M2, right?
: But there is supposedly no evidence of the Wrkncacknter. Perhaps that's
: because of the events of Infinity occurring within the affected space of
: the L'howon system, in which the chaos is released, splintering time in
: such a way that it leads to its own containment using the Jjaro station.
: And the end of M2 follows from the end of Infinity. This has probably all
: been covered before.

That was Mark Levin's theory back during the Volunteers series and the predominant theory in the community between then and when I returned and challenged it. Or well, his theory was that after you finish up the end of Infinity, you go back to the M2 timeline; that's what doesn't jive with me. You seem to be suggesting that containing the W'rkncacnter in one timeline contained it in all timelines, so the version of the player-character who is in the M2 universe finds no W'rkncacnter released in that timeline, because of the actions of his counterpart in another timeline. That sounds more plausible, especially if the W'rkncacnter is some kind of transdimensional being. (It also seems interesting that nobody is ever able to detect a W'rkncacnter's existence until it is released; even Durandal with the Yrro station at his disposal is unable to detect its existence inside the Lh'owon sun).
