Rayman Pirate-Community

FranceBall is teasing ItalyBall about this a little bit (The Mona Lisa is in France not Italy, even though it was made by an Italian).

I wonder what the WeWuzBall would think of this!

I know that Leonardo gave it to the French.

Reading the title of this made me think it was about tension between nations within the game's universe, and I thought "that must be interesting"

I had no idea we even had such a topic. But the painting was acquired by France anyway, so what is there even to argue about?

Who knows!

But now I'm thinking about in-universe stuff – are there diplomatic relations between Teensie and Knaaren nations, for example?

Tensions are sure to be high between the nation of Zombie Chickens and the nation of the Knaaren, that's for sure.

Do Zombie Chickens have a national identity? I thought they were just dumb beasts…

That's just Knaaren propaganda, made to make themselves look like victims. Don't believe their lies!

Come to think of it, I was just thinking yesterday that that "they are just soulless monsters" business about the Pirates in the Knowledge of the World could be interpreted as mere propaganda!

Zombie Chicken's intellect is so high that Einstein himself is proud, them slowly hovering towards Rayman knowing that he can easily one-shot them is some high IQ right there.

Well, can he "easily" one-shot them? It depends on how much the player sucks

That's true, lol.

When I was young I used to fantasize about each world in Rayman 2 being a nation with its own government, and there being a conflict between the Fairy Glade and the Sanctuaries

What if Knaaren eating Teensies was also propaganda, this time against the former?

That feels unlikely, given that those murals are in Knaaren territory…

Some self-hating Knaaren might be trying to make Teensies look like an oppressed species while they are, in fact, the source of many problems in Knaaren society.

So then it's more of an internal societal struggle? Well, with a child in charge, can you blame them for being so divided?
