Community The Agaran Menace

Come on! Have some morels!

 

These jokes get mold pretty quickly.

 

Nah. They been used a lot, so it's a mouldy but a goody.

(That was my weak attempt at a joke, in case you didn't get it. Also, when I read too many fungi jokes I sta)

 

I don't know these people, I swear!

 

You don't? Oh. Okay then, Let's meet right about... Now. Yes, Now seems like a good time.

Let me introduce myself, I'm a horse.

ANYWAY, back on topic everyone.
How about we discuss and evaluate the Agaran Silhouette Hypothesis.

Let me state it now.
Once someone dies and the corpse is exposed to Agaran spores; the fungus starts growing on said corpse. Once fully grown you have a classic Agaran with all the skills and comprehension that the person had before dying.
Now, DISCUSS!

 

... Yes.

 

... *Snore* ... I sure wish the devs cared about us had released another piece of lore.

 

I agree with using the corpse as fuel to build a new body around the old skeleton, I don't agree that it keeps the skills and comprehension of the old person, because otherwise, they would be able to tell us what had happened. Even if their vocal cords are screwy and no longer translatable, they could still write on a note and be like "Hey I used to be a person but they Agarans do blah blah blah".

What I do think is that the fungus uses the DNA of the host corpse so that it knows how you build its fungi muscles around the bone and such, and also bases its brain of the DNA of the host, which would explain why an Agaran constructed via Sunborn would be so smart and learn how to use the space ship in just 20 minutes.

Also, as it has been discussed earlier, the events of the Agaran Sunborn seem rather suspicious, as it was heavily, scientifically shot down earlier. So I'm starting to think some of McVicar's work might be a little fanatical, trying to attract attention so his stories are popular. Imagine if this whole thing has been constructed by McVicar to make his articles more popular, and the Agarans have really been misjudged....

 

Honestly? I felt that way at first until I remembered they were working on making a huge overhaul to combat, ships, upgrades, and game advancement, all of which are going to make the game way more excellent. Then I decided agarans weren't that big of a deal

 

Agarans are love. Agarans are life.

 

Sorry, double post.

hey could we get on-topic again

thx

 

I'm so very sorry. Please don't have me arrested! Not today, at least.

I've tried. It's no use. This is just a hub for horrid puns and terrible references now.

All your base thread are belong to us.

 

I dont get it.

 

Neither do I. You're not alone.

 

Then it's good that i get that, because it would be a paradox. Gotta love the old Doctor.

 

Game Theory:
What if the Florans aren't prisoners? They Agarans attacked the Hylotl, who the Floran hate. Also, the Agarans HATE water, thus giving them reason the hate the Hylotl, who are fish-like beings. Even though the fungi aren't plants, people still think of fungi invasive like plant, and sometime mistaken fungi for plants. My idea is that the Florans are respected "officials", even though they're held in prison-like structures.

But that's just a theory. A game theory.

EDIT: Someone tried to translate the Agaran language. They seem the be trying to tell the people that they aren't afraid of their weapons. They also seem slightly less meaner to the Floran.

EDIT x2 COMBO: On a thread, there's a lot of good info.(http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/charlton-says-hello.77574/)
I think they aren't keeping them as war or crime prisoners. I think they like the Florans. It could be a power thing, like if you have a Floran living with you, it makes you seem powerful. (Well that's what I think they think.)
