A question about Kino
« Reply #45 on: July 15, 2005, 09:54:54 am »
Another idea :!:

We know the Gates are located where and when something important happens for the Entity. What happened at the Mystic Mountains? Ayla (or someone) found baby Kino. Since Ayla and Kino are more or less the first members of what would be later called the Guardia line, this event must have been something memorable for the Entity.

So my theory is not that Kino came out of the Gate but that it's the finding of Kino which created the Gate!

Damn, they need a thumbs up emoticon!

But u see my point!

Very well thought of. It would give an explanation of why there is a Gate there in the first place. But y in the air?

Speculation: Because it connects with a point where the other side of the gate is not in the air?

(tribute for kotor fans :D)

Got it: The End of Time. It is a Gate that links there directly, there is no physical ground in the EoT, so its kinda in the air in a way.

PS: Go KOTOR!

This is a stone in the way... but maybe...
maybe the gates in the End of Time only appear when more than 3 travelers try to go through it. Maybe the gate in that cliff originally linked to some other time coordinate...

yeah! kotor!  :D

There is one Gate in the EoT that doesnt have a partner, because 9 is an odd number. So where does that mystery Gate take us to then?
Meh, who knows!

Ockham Razor says: "let's not multiply the beings without need". It means that if something can be explained in several ways, the simplest explanation that agrees with what is known, will be the correct. With so many maybes, i was complicating the explanation too much... but maybe it was necessary.

And no  :wink:  the simplest explanation is not "A wizard did it", because then you would need to explain what is magic, how does it work, and why the wizard can use it  :lol:

I've just checked. The 9 Gates form a sort of square, and it seems that each Gate from a side is linked to the Gate at the opposite side. Like this :

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

1 links to 9, 3 links to 7, 6 links to 4... So it seems n°8 (Mystic Mountain) is linked to n°2 (Medina Village).

N°5 (Proto Dome) is probably directly linked to the End of Time.

So let me get this straight. Ockham's Razor means that if there are several possible answeres to a question, the simplest one that follows the given data is the correct?

Proto Dome Gate was a very special Gate considering it was the first to take the CT crew to the EoT, and the first time ever entered by 4 ppl too!

Wow, so maybe they would have popped up in the End of Time even if they were only 3... Or maybe this Gate is connected to the 1,999 AD Gate?

I dont think so, though it is a possibility. The 1999 AD Gate seems somewat special and different, kinda like that Red Gate that transports Lucca, or the Green Gate on New Game+ TO 1999.

PS: What is with the Red and Green Gates??
