Talk:Shoedsackovskaïa family

Thanks for this complete article, Spiral. I have two small questions though: where does it say that the Shoedsackovskaïa family is of royal descent, and how did you identify Nimrod and Zaroff's respective preys? Thanks for your answer ;) — Hunchman801 19:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

One official source refers to Razoff as "the last descendant of a royal family of maniac hunters", and another source says that Razoff is the last descendant of the Shoedsackovskaïa family, so it seems reasonable to assume that the Shoedsackovskaïa family are royal. (EDIT: I also think the title "Count Razoff" may have some connotations to nobility).

As for how I deduced the respective preys of Nimrod and Zaroff: I'm not 100% certain. They're the only two other descendants of the family that we know of, and the Abominable Geranium and Space Mama are the only two preys of the family that we know of. So it seems likely that the two preys were the victims of the two members of the family. Space Mama being the prey of Zaroff seems to fit best with the timeline, and the fact that the Abominable Geranium is mentioned alongside her seems to indicate that she's Nimrod's prey (if it was the prey of a more distant ancestor, why would the R3 website skip a bunch of generations, and their prey?). So there's nothing conclusive, but when you put together the different sources it seems to be the simplest and most logical conclusion. You'll notice that I didn't state it in the article as if it was confirmed fact, I only said that it "seems" to be the case. --Spiraldoor 17:09, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

By the way, could we get a Family Tree Template (like this one) on RayWiki? It would definitely be useful, at least for this article. It could have other possible applications as well, such as illustrating the course of the Rayman games over the years, and all the different directions the series has taken.

A family tree would be useful for your topic but maybe a timeline would be more suited for the different Rayman Games. -- Acarr 25 September 2009 15:02

Perhaps we could edit the official timeline given throughout the Rayman Zone magazine into a single image, and use that? --Spiraldoor 14:48, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Sounds like a plan! -- Acarr 25 Sept 2009, 15:59
