My Theory Regarding Flayra
<div class="IPBDescription">Aka, plausable deniability</div> This was originally a reply in a general discussion post about how great Flayra is (seriously, it was titled 'is flayra a god' or something <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->). Having written it, I thought it was quite amusing (I am tired now, it might not be so funny in the morning), and I thought I should share the goodness, since it isnt going to get read much as a reply in another thread. It was in reply to someone saying they think Flayra is a brain hooked up to the NS forums and he plays NS through the power of thought, hence he doesnt need money for food. (another good theory)
"Don't you get it? Flayra is the commander of the Frontiersmen sent back from the future to train us all in preparation for when the Kharra attack for real. Being able to play as the aliens gives us an opportunity to better understand Kharra tactics so that we can more effectively fight them.
The same is true for CS, it is a trainning program for Counterterrorist teams. Unfortunatly, it was a total failure, as it was soon discovered that the best players had no real skill and just used hax, so there was no way of finding the genuinely good players.
As for the original half-life, two words: plausible deniability.
If some guy said 'I was at black mesa! There were aliens and monsters and the millitary tried to kill me!'
You would think: 'Nutjob. It's a GAME man.....'
And if any of you remember UFO: enemy unknown... thats right.....

I actually got this next bit from something someone posted on an X-COM website (before x-com was R.I.P). His name was AgentX, and I notice there is an Agent X on these boards, so if that is you AgentX, this is just a tribute! (I've used that excuse twice now <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo--> )
It is also theorised that Canada does not exist. It was invented some time in the 60's when the president at the time (im British so I have no idea who that was) got drunk and decided to invent a country. When he woke up with a splitting hangover, it was too late! The CIA had already gone around changing every map in the world to include Canada, and planting plain-clothes operatives to quash any rumours that Canada didn't exist. Anyone who said 'Hang on, there never used to be a country bordering us other than mexico, did there?' was soon ridiculed by all the people who didn't want to look ignorant by admitting they never noticed it either.
So the president was left with no choice but to re-inforce the public's belief in Canada. He and his advisors gave Canada its own accent (not a very creative one, he just took the american accent and tweaked it a little), it's own sport (ice hockey, whoever created that was OBVIOUSLY drunk at the time), and even it's own animals, like the Beaver and the Moose (actually imported from parts of Scandinavia).
In order to keep up the illusion of Canada's existence, flights to Canada were created. Obviously they don't actually fly to Canada, as it doesn't exist, they fly to another part of America where all the residents are paid actors and pretend to be Canadian (and they are very convincing I have to say). So if you think you've been to Canada, you haven't.
Anyone claiming to be from Canada is lying. If they say they they are from Canada they must be a government agent. This is how agents identify each other in the field.
As for Alaska, it is, tragically, just a gravy stain spilt on the map before it went to the printer's. The guy who spilt the gravey tried to cover it up by writing 'Alaska' next to it and pretending it was a state of America (which obviously can't be because its not even connected to the USA! Why didn't he just pretend it was part of Canada?).
So now you know the truth. Be afraid, be very afriad. And keep watching the skies.
[No offence meant to anyone from Canada, your country is great! Besides, this wasn' t my idea originally...]

Less curious people.
Maby this is it, just watch out for the sectiods....
Well, being angry that I didn't get to finish my meal, I looked for something to eat. Naturally, once I saw this being in a lab coat, I wanted it. So, long story short, I ate the head, and now I have a body! Ain't that grand?
