Deimaginators, 'Lore', and Giants

Having unsuccessfully run my first smuggling mission yesterday, I was introduced to the deimaginators. Evidently this is the militant wing of the Bureaucroc bureaucracy.

It brought a few questions to mind: who are these crocodillians? Which Giant imagined them and why? Clearly they're not agents of the Rook so they must have been put in place by some Giant or other for some reason or other. To simply maintain order and fancy permits, mayhap?

Yes, the reason is probably more "meta" as smuggling missions would be fairly lame without the Man to overcome, but thinking in terms of the game world I am intrigued.

Are there any resources out there for the lore of Ur as of yet? Have the Crocs ever been explained? Will it be explained whenever trees and rocks and piggies get their words back to a level sufficient for extensive discourse (/beta_nostalgia)?

Discuss!

(and if there are other threads on this I'll be happy to mosey in that direction)

  • I was never a beta player, but I keep reading players talk about all the talking and lore that used to go on... makes me wish they'd bring it back soon!

  • The crocodilians created the lie of the Giants, and run the underground machinery that makes so-called "shrines" appear to work.  They have enslaved us Glitchians with their treachery, and profit from our endless "donations".

  • Anyone notice that the tool vendor in Cebarkul appears to be a crocodilian wearing a tribal mask?
    Is s/he in league with the deimaginators and the bureaucrocs?
    And what's up with Helga? And Uncle Friendly? And that food vendor?
    There are also evidently species differences between street spirits (floating logs, floating jellyfish-like things, et. al.)
    And where's Rube from?
    And the jujus?
    And the yoga frog?
    And the arctic snow-cone bear?
    Lots of critters; little explanation.

  • we need to see more of whatever Uncle Friendly and Helga are! Helgeese? Squishies? Tentacle slugs?

  • I just want to know where the salmon comes from. And the honey. And the mushrooms. None of my prayers to the giants have returned any answers yet.
