Protoss time line

[Gradius]

Gradius, technically shouldn't SC1 begin in 2499 AD? Because that WAS when the Protoss began burning the terran worlds to clear them of Zerg...

No. I didn't put when it began. I put down when it took place. Most of SC1 took place in 2500.

I always hated how it took place exactly in 2500. Specific, even dates like that in fiction are so lame, when there's no actual reason for it. If it had been something more random like, I dunno, August 17 2633, it'd be so less contrived.

I agree. Friggin round numbers. -_-

Maybe we should all move to a base 12 decimal system so that the date seems less contrived.

I fully support the implementation of Star Trek's Stardate.

True. If only Golden had read the SC1 manual herself instead of taking Metzen's words. I don't blame her for not knowing in the DT Saga.

Are we really sure Starcraft 1 took place in 2500?
Are we really sure Starcraft 2 took place in 2504?

Kerrigan suffers a mental disorder. I guess it's not surprising that her sense of time would also be off.

At times it's hard to know the year when you've gone through so much.

Besides, the HotS timeline says it spans from late 2504 to early 2505, there's nothing more specific, for now.

Oh come on guys, You're better than that. We all know that ancient prophecies always coincide with convenient dates according to the Gregorian calendars, based around the death of Christ, no matter where they take place in the universe. Can't tell you how many ancient evils have awoken at exactly the moment that the year changes to 1,000 or 2,000 or whatever.

If it weren't the case before, previous lore will be retconed so Amon finally gets his shit together at exactly 2,500 AD, you know, since its so tied to prophecy and all.

[ragnarok]

Right, like they were thinking of the prophecy THAT early back then....
