Abe is the second coming?
Ok... Abe has been refered to as a millenial hero... right?. And that means that he is a hero that appears once a millenian (1000 years)... right?
So it stands to reson that there have been such heros befor, otherwise he would just be a hero... right? So who was this preveus hero you might ask?... I dont know... but it does not mater because he would be dead by now... right? So is there any thinkelse that helps sugest this theory?... Well abe was born in the year 1029 (Oddworld time)... right?... So a 1000 years befor would have been the year 29... right?... So what if that was when the last savor died?...what if the last savor was born on the year 0... what if they started there year system when the savor was born (or after he was born and counted back)(like with jesus)... So if the first savor of all mudukons had big anuff affect to have the year system started in his onnor, what will Abe do? So to recap I think that a savor was born and died. In his onnor they started the year system. 1000 years after his death Abe was born. And now Abe has some major savoring to do... ;) |
Woa, you've been thinking! Thats a cool theory. Well, Raisin is really old, so maybe he knew the last savior. Maybe he well tell Abe about it, and have a flash back and we can see how Oddworld used to be.
Paul said that Hand of Odd was talked about being in the past, but they would rather move on into the future..something like that. |
No, I think they said Hand of Odd was going to be set in the past at one stage but they changed that idear.
I supose that Raisin would have knowen the first savor sent by Odd. However he could not be the savor himself because he is not dead. Just anuther thought... The first savor would have been born about the time that mudukons and glukons started to fight. Bit of a conection... Im sorry for speaking so eraticly befor aswell... to many rights and not anuff lefts... lol |
I didn't say Raisin was the savior, I dont think that. But Raisin is very old, and OI says he has lived many lives...so he would've witnessed everything...including the last savior.
|
okey, folks.....lets lay it down. he's the alllmighty raisin. hes, how shall we say it.....ALLMIGHTY. i dont know what significance that name grants him besides an uncanny ability to be very extremely allmighty, but we do know hes very....very......
you guessed it, ALLMIGHTY anyway.....i dont think raisin could have been a savior, i mean, look at that bulk. think of how much runnin and jumping abe had to do to ssave his peeps, now can you imagine raisin running and jumping without collapsing in a seisure of laughter??? |
LOL...I never thought Raisin was a savior. It says on Oddworld.com he is a spiritual leader or whatever. All I was saying is that he was probably around when the last savior was alive.
THOUGH...On oddworld.com it also says that Raisin has lived many lives...possibly in many different forms. Gives you room to think. |
yes, elum.....plenty of room......ahahahahahahAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
sorry, its getting prietty late in lil ol' minnesota and me brainmeats are gettin warped.....very warped.......ahahahahaha....wait.....did that make sense? no....no.....nevermind.... |
Hello, folks!
When I read that Abe was born in Rupture Farms 1029, I also thought that number was his birth date. Then I saw this, in Molluck's stat page: :
[ April 14, 2001: Message edited by: Lampion ] |
Yeah, it's a sort of reference number. Like each bus stop has its own number, which has to be punched into the machine. That's over here, anyway. Hmmm.
I think Oddworld is actually in it's 'second millennium', but I also think you're taking the word 'millennial' a little too far. |
Hey great teory oddguy! Perhaps we´ll know more about the old savior in the next games. But how can he be a savior If he died. none will then know that he´s a savior!
|
well I´ve been wondering about this number, too. But how do they count the years on Oddworld? :confused:
|
i noticed that that '1029' number was really just part of the name as well. It really screws up the time line i did up for my fics. Anyway, back on topic, very interesting theory you got there Oddguy.
|
and what does this number after rupture farms mean?
|
About the number after Rupture Farms, i think that it has something with the trains to do. That thing with bus stops really catched my thoughts... Grr, now im going to stay up all weekend to think of that!!
|
I always thought that was the date too. Oh well.
|
I still think its a date, but not in the same way as befor. The numbers behind the names might be Oddworld/ Glukon copyrights numbers assigned by the date. A bit like 'WINDOWS 95' or 'Encarta 97'. The Oddworld/ Glukon copyrights would need to have more digits in thier dates though because they keep factorys and things around for such a long time(It has been said that Glukons are consevetive).
Therefor my first theroy still applies, but it would be subject to a fare bit of error... Which is good because other wise the first savor would have die a young Mudukon at only 29. [ April 14, 2001: Message edited by: oddguy 999 ] |
maybe a compnay?
|
You got some great Ideas Oddguy! :)
|
I think the number after the name adds a bit of Metropolis-style faceless impersonality to the Magog Cartel. Who are you? Employee #349538. Where do you work? RuptureFarms #1029. Add to the soul-crushing aspect of the evil Glukkons, no?
|
Thats a thought. Because dont Sligs go by numbers too? And not names?
|
Nar... Sligs have names. There given to each other by each other.
Also they've never said that the Magog Cartel is impersonal anyway, just that they basicly care only for them selfs. Thats what makes them bad in so many respects. And if it was a address it would be a lot longer aswell, with about 6 or 7 digits. After all, Oddworld is 10 times larger then Earth. |
I think it is an address, because that shows that SoulStorm and RuptureFarms are really quite a small part of the Magog Cartel. Remember what Lorne said about starting in a dimond mine in South Africa.
|
one thing: 29 isn't a young age for a mudokon, really.
also, i don't think sligs [or muds] go by numbers. they are probably given them, but no-one remembers them. they refer to each other by names they give each other, and glukkons refer to them as "Hey, You!". i do like the idea of there having been lots of saviours. i don't think that's a date, though, i think it's a number assigned to a corporation. that means that, at the time Rupture Farms was founded, there were 1028 other corporations. maybe. if that isn't a date, there could have been lots of saviours, although the ones before the glukkons enslaved them wouldn't have really been noticed, as there wasn't anything to save. maybe there is someone born every 1000 years, who has strong psychic powers, like Abe, rather than weak powers, like the other muds. |
i dont know mabye abe is the second "mesiah" or mabye not.
|
who says he's just the second?
|
Aah... very wise, Grasshopper. :rolleyes:
|
The number behind the corporation name indicates where you can find it in the Yellow Pages:
1029: Meat Processing Plants 401: Breweries |
who? what? you're going to drive me insane with your crypticness!!!
unless i've just missed something someone said about grasshoppers. or maybe you're making a snide remark about my name, hmm? i'll have you know i created this name for a character in my fanfic, and i happen to like it. it has nothing to do with grasshoppers! i'm not really pissed off, btw. and sorry if you were referring to something else. |
