Talk:Utwig

I remember hearing something from these guys about in their early days, they and some race called the Chimt rose from the swamps on Fahz, and the Chimt's tendrils made the veils fall, whatever that entails. Perhaps these should be mentioned, or at least the Chimt have some sort of mention here?

I agree, this article can be expanded, I think it's somewhere on my mental list of things to do. There's a lot more information that could be included about the Utwig history and culture that needs to go here. If no one gets to it soon, feel free to go at it. --Fyzixfighter 19:38, 16 February 2006 (CET)

Alright, i'll have a shot at it now. I'm the same guy BTW, I just felt it was only proper to register. --Luminar, 17 February 2006

Nice work on the Utwig history section. Much better than anything I could have done. I hope you don't mind the edits I made to it - if you've got questions on any of those edits, feel free to ask. One piece that I removed but I'm curious about is you said the bomb was found on Delta Aquarii. I don't recall a reference for this, but maybe I missed it. Do you remember where you got this comment from? --Fyzixfighter 01:49, 18 February 2006 (CET)

Gah, is that the wrong system? I thought it was in Aquarii along with Fahz.. Anyhow, I got interrupted and then sidetracked and then.. sorrrt of kind of fell asleep >_>" So i'm gonna have another stab at the article now - and no, I don't mind changes at all =) --Luminar, 18 February 2006

There, I think i'm just about done now, unless you can think of anythin else that needs to go in --Luminar, 18 February 2006

The story of the Chimt may have been influenced by the story of the Garden of Eden.

"It all began when the Chimt rose from the Murky Bog and the Utwig emerged as well." <-> animals and humans were created.

"Meanwhile, the tendrils of the Chimt infiltrated the vast sky canopies of Fahz and then the veils fell!" <-> The serpent messed with the minds of the first humans.

"Suddenly, the Utwig were stunned by a collective realization!" <-> Realisation after eating from the tree of wisdom.

"All immediately and urgently donned veils of every description!" <-> The humans felt they needed to cover themselves.

moving chimt section to its own article

I've been perusing the wanted pages list and noticed that one of them is for Chimt. In all honesty, the section Utwig#Who are the Chimt does a pretty good summation of what we know and imho could be moved over to its own page, maybe with a little bit of tweaking. It would be short article, but would allow for easy access if someone types in Chimt since we can't redirect to sections of an article. Thoughts? --Fyzixfighter 08:01, 10 February 2007 (CET)

Oh, frell it. I know it hasn't been too long since the post above, but the more I think about it, the more I like it...so I'm just going to do it. What's the worst that could happen, someone revert me and tell me I'm wrong? I think I can live with that. --Fyzixfighter 00:07, 11 February 2007 (CET)

Masks

Query: Identify location of images of Utwig masks. Directive: Transfer to this article. Daktaklakpak 19:26, 16 February 2007 (CET)

I don't believe we have images of any of the masks except the "mask of Ultimate Embarrassment and Shame" (the one all Utwig captains wear during the game), since all the other masks were destroyed when the Ultron broke:

All Utwig immediately donned the mask of Ultimate Embarrassment and Shame with a vow to wear it forever! Bonfires all over Fahz consumed all but this mask; no other mask was spared!

Most of the other utiwg dialog that talks about the other masks seems to back this up. There is one bit of dialog that doesn't fit with this though:

We have returned from a conflict of a grand scale with our fleet battered but our masks of Valor and Derring-Do fitting snugly!

but, imho, this is likely just be an idiomatic phrase. --Fyzixfighter 22:17, 16 February 2007 (CET)

Query: After Ultron repair Utwig masks remade. Directive: Affirim or negate. Daktaklakpak 01:58, 17 February 2007 (CET)

Eventually yes, and if you believe the ending credits, that was to happen two days after the end of the game. I've gone through most of the utwig dialog and can't find any reference to them actually wearing anything else. Instead, the utwig captains make references to wanting to don the appropriate masks but are unable (presumeably b/c they were all destroyed). Additionally, the return of the Ultron precipitates a mask etiquette reform/re-adjustment, likely further delaying a return to mask-normalcy. Of course, I might have missed something, so do you have reason to believe otherwise? --Fyzixfighter 02:25, 17 February 2007 (CET)

Reply: SC3 Utwig wear mask of Determined Colenization in Support of Galatic Integrity. Observation: SC3 not considered canon. Frustration: AAAAAAARRRRRRGH! *Floats around in circles* Daktaklakpak 03:27, 17 February 2007 (CET)

I this case, I'm with Dak here. While SC3 isn't usually considered canonical, why wouldn't the Utwig have a Mask of Determined Colonization in Support of Galactic Integrity, or something to that effect? I seem to remember the Mask of Steely Determination in there as well, which is a far more logical mask to see exist in Utwig culture. Gaeamil 05:18, 13 March 2007 (MST)

TFB decides what's part of their universe. It's not a matter of whether something would make sense in the SC2 universe. SC3 material is not regarded any more canon than fan fiction is. — SvdB 17:01, 14 March 2007 (CET)
