So there are many opposing theories. *= assumption based off of Bethesda timelines.
If there are any theories that you would like me to submit to the list, please say.
Nice compilation. I know this was presented in good faith and a great start, but herein lies what really aggravates me (and probably others) about the recent trends in this thread. You seem to have only included the names of those who have only since recently been involved in the these speculative discussions, and a few others wanting to "stamp" their name onto some theory. As you yourself have only been around recently, it's really no big surprise. The fact of the matter is that the real authors behind most of these theories, especially those who provided the logical foundations behind them, are nowhere to be found in this list. If you're going to seriously list the predominate theories you'd be well advised to include the names of xXAntibodyXx, Mr. Tissue Box, ThatOneGuy, and others. We all align ourselves pretty much to the same hypothesis which the M'aiqium theories most resemble. Considering this is thread 52 (with many more unofficial versions proceeding) there is a deep richness to these discussions which would inform this kind of list much better than is represented.
I sincerely am not trying to flame or offend, but am just presenting us "old timers'" perspective.
