: Unfortunately there are only a handful of us left here.
: I must confess to being confused by your diagram. Could you explain the color
: coding or at least take us through your logic.
Certainly.
The thick, solid-color lines running mostly downward represent objective timelines; up is past, down is future. The dotted black-and-white line running down and between those lines represents the player-character's subjective timeline. The white boxes with words in them are the levels, obviously. The green horizontal bars mark events in time, showing how they connect to different levels in different timelines; if a green bar passes fully behind a timeline, that indicates that that event occurs in that timeline, otherwise if it breaks before and then resumes past a timeline, that indicates that it does not occur in that timeline. (E.g. the security offices does not connect Durandal to the Pfhor network via two uplink chips in the timeline that begins with "Rise Robot Rise", because he's with Durandal at that point).
The timelines are color-coded just by their relations to each other. The first timeline (M1->M2) is magenta just for contrast with the green horizontal bars. The timelines branching off from that where you go with Tycho get progressively warmer (rose, red, orange), while the ones where you go off with Durandal get progressively cooler (purple, blue, aqua).
The breaks between timelines are determined by the dream level sequences (Electric Sheep levels and those immediately following them, which are shown rotated since they don't really occur at any point in time per se). The placement of individual levels in time (vertical placement) is determined based on references to events mentioned on those levels, which I began compiling back in this post, which was what originally was going to build up to this diagram, but I apparently got distracted from until recently.
The relation between different timelines is just inferred by what appears to have happened in them:
In the Infinity Prologue timeline, we may assume things went more or less as in M2 except as specified otherwise, which appears to be everything since Durandal arrived at Lh'owon, although the trih xeem was still deployed for some reason despite Durandal's crushing defeat. Similarly in the Ne Cede Malis timeline, except the space battle went different, and nevertheless Durandal ended up cornered on the Yrro station. Then we jump to a timeline where Durandal never took us from Tau Ceti and we ended up with Tycho instead, which ended up driving many of the same events from M2 to happen anyway, just with us on the other side. Then we jumped a timeline just like M2 (went with Durandal) except where we woke up early and helped in some of the earlier battles... but that ended up going straight back to M2 all over again. So we jump to a variant of the Tycho timeline, except do things differently so the same shit doesn't quite happen again... which still ends up failing somehow, so we jump back and try a slightly different variant of that timeline, and THAT ends up working.
