    He liked my post about Agarans reproducing by drying out a Floran, and then infecting them with the spores! :D

    It may be useful to attempt to translate the speech for ourselves to better understand them.
    What follows is my best guess on stuff:

    Squishfish = Hylotl
    Clankbeast = Glitch
    Hairthing = Apex
    Kissface = Floran?

    Hoom = Hello
    Foom = Goodbye

    Clink = Trade or Sell
    Clinker = Trader or Merchant

    Plesta = Please?

    Smashroom = Weapon? or possibly Guard?

    Nab = Negative either NO or NOT

    Tentacrush = Beast who destroyed Earth?

    Spaceshroom = Spaceship or possibly space traveler?

    *If kissface does mean Floran perhaps it is meant to mean they are attractive because they are more like Agarans then the other races, or perhaps it means that Florans are the reproductive form of Agarans?

    Can someone make a post of all the things Razey liked? Like just copy paste each post into one? I am heading to work or I would be on that.

    That would be the Tentacle comet, my friend.

    And that shows that the Aragans are aware of Earths destruction!​

    I'd be willing to do it, but it won't be until later that I will be able to take the time to do it.

    In the meantime, if anyone else has the desire to do it, feel free. If no one else does, I should have it compiled by tomorrow.

    Well, in reality it crashed into Earth, then burrowed into and fed off the planets core until it smashed out its tentacles and took over the planet.

    You forgot mine. The Agaran reproduce by drying Floran out and infecting them with spores.

    It's cool, man. I'm not really good at the whole roleplay thing, but this is fun.

    Educate: Ophiocordyceps unilateralis - Also known as "Zombie Spore/Fungi" is a type of ,well, fungi that has parasitic tendencies of attaching itself to Formicidae (Ants) and turning them into "Zombie" slaves. The spores inside the ant then detach and grown into this,

    I hope I'm not the only one to see the disturbing similarities between these two fungi.

    The ones he has "liked" are the ones that are running along the "villains" theory, it appears. I personally wouldn't attatch too much significance to those.
    I'm just waiting for the plot twist (or plot straight line, as the case may be).
    While still advocating for better understanding of the Agarans, of course, because nobody has thought twice about pillaging and wrecking through the poor Micron settlements underground. So what if they're an eighth of your size? Does that give you the right to destroy their homes and their lives?

    This. Before we utterly annihilate them, could we at least understand their situation?

    Has anyone considered that maybe the Agaran are being attacked by parasitic spores? Not the other way around.

    The very existence of this thread means that the Agarans have already succeeded.

    At what? Being a polariser? Yeah, they really managed that.

    I had a theory that the Agaran themselves were possibly other species that are under control of the spores. I quote Razey on this,

    "The Agarans stared at them, then began to jabber in that strange, unknown language. Then, seemingly as if commanded by a silent voice, they began to attack."

    This may mean that the spore is commanding the Agaran slaves to attack the Hylotl.
