That's how retarded you are. did you read the other books? or are you basing off this entire thing off a little segment in one book? edit: no need to pms on me for having an opinion on what i thought the books meant when i read them | ||

Terrans have always been a very young race in the Starcraft lore- they cannot possibly have created the Zerg and the Protoss races long ago. This theory just doesn't hold water- If you look at this interview with Chris Metzen, they want to add more races to the Starcraft lore, not narrow them down even further by making Xel'naga = Terran. | ||

It's like the same story with the Xel Naga being the titans or whatever Sargeras and his buds were in Wc3. There are plenty of recurring themes in Blizzard games, and it makes sense given that there's overlap with the writers. The corruption theme in particular is something all too common which I hope doesn't come up again. | ||

The medics and valkyries and charon boosted goliaths you know are UED aka "forces of themotherplanet". Is that argument good enough proof of this theory being bad?

Dunno wether that or this was weirder | ||

The corruption theme in particular is something all too common which I hope doesn't come up again. One of their storywriters once admitted openly that he uses the same concepts over and over. It's successful, so he sticks with it. Sry, but no source. It was some random article I read months ago. | ||

Unless they manipulated time such that they de-evolved themselves into Terrans in order to lay dormant until the Protoss and Zerg hybrid race could be created, at which point they would accelerate their own evolution and lord over the new hybrid race until they could merge into them, thereby creating the perfect continuation of the Xel'naga. Definitely sounds like something Metzen would come up with =] | ||

The overminds true quest was to merge with the protoss (CONSUME) in order to make the zerg incredibly powerful, or even "perfect". And it seems to be exactly what duran was doing, he's lived for millenia etc etc | ||

This is from a custom singleplayer mission I played with some gaps in the story I filled in. I think it is a good explenation. | ||
