Topic: [QUESTION] What is a tee?

I created this topic hoping it will become sticky.
It's how do I imagine the tees. Will it become official?

Tee:

Biologically:
The tees are a barbarian race based on silicium.
A DNA analysis proved they issued from golf balls, who hypothetically muted because of the water pollution.
Of course, the tee can reproduce themselves but they die before to reach sexual maturity.
So, when a tee die, a complex time & reality glich make him respawn form somewhere else.

Historically:
Their wonderfulest and only "invention" (If only we can say they invented it) is the hammer.
With this basic but how strong weapon, they annihilated plenty of other species and stole their technologies.
Their lack of intelligence don't allow em to reproduce the ammunition for the stolen weapons. However, their body produce a phenomenal quantity of phosphor, which they use as minigun ammunition.
They can still find ammo for advanced weapons on the ground.

Theologically:
The tees have a two-faced god named "Matricks & Teetow" but we usually say "Matricks", "Teetow" or "The Devs" or even some time "Teetrix"

Matricks created the Teeworlds but the tees had nothing to do. So Teetow came and trowed tons of hammers on the the earth. Of course, 73% of the tee population died but we can say it's a good sacrifice, isn't?


As a community:
The tees don't have a very developed language.
It still allow them to communicate.
They sometimes allies themselves to make a team or, even sometimes, a "clan" who would be a kind of tribe.

Controversy:
Tees actually lived in great quantities all over the earth 65 million years ago. Their skeletal anatomy was made out of Cartilage,  so there are no proofable remains today. The tees primary and only source of food was dinosour eggs. Their anatomy, which is close to a sphere, was a obviously optimized to diggest eggs. When hungry they could even gulp an egg almost of their own size. After the tees became too successful and their numbers became far too high, the dinosours became extinct. After the dinosours death the tees had to face their own exinction too. However still some false interpretations of a comet destroying dinosours still prevails the truth about the dominance of the tees, which obviously makes much more sense also than a comet hitting on every dinosours head.


Thanks for feedbacks.
I will do more later.
Ideas are welcomes.

Thanks to:
Catpaw for the "controversy" part;
lol for the "mutants golf balls" idea

90% of teens today would die if Myspace had a system failure and was completely destroyed.

Re: [QUESTION] What is a tee?

Nice idea! I have a story too!

The story of tee began in ancient China over 5,000 years ago. According to legend, Shen Nung, an early emperor was a skilled ruler, creative scientist and patron of the arts. His far-sighted edicts required, among other things, that all drinking water be boiled as a hygienic precaution. One summer day while visiting a distant region of his realm, he and the court stopped to rest. In accordance with his ruling, the servants began to boil water for the court to drink. Dried leaves from the near by bush fell into the boiling water, and a brown liquid was infused into the water. As a scientist, the Emperor was interested in the new liquid, drank some, and found it very refreshing. And so, according to legend, tee was created. (This myth maintains such a practical narrative, that many mythologists believe it may relate closely to the actual events, now lost in ancient history.)

Great story. But you've forgotten to mention me as a semi god. So you've failed: F!

Together with teetow, I think.

Also, Teeworlds/wars har been in dev for alot more than 1 year... matricks has earlier stated that he has made many rewrites of teeworlds but on the current one he decided to not stop and start over again. For example in one version the tees had jetpacks instead of hook x)

Re: [QUESTION] What is a tee?

Well...
A race with a basic logic will associate every uncomprehensible things to God.
To bee polytheist, the tee would have to first classify each things for each god. Too much for their reptile brain.

Tees are not mute. They can make noises, make emoticons, and talk.

Re: [QUESTION] What is a tee?

Many millions of years ago, the teesaurus roamed the Earth. Everything was fine, until aliens from another universe came down. Matricks, and Teetow, as they were known, were testing their genetic mutation techniques. They had little experience with carbon-based life-forms, but they managed to create a semi-intelligent creature with some dexterity. These new animals were dubbed "tees" after their primitive ancestors. To keep the tees under control, the aliens gave their creations integer levels of health so that they could be killed in minutes. And for a few million years, the Earth was fine. But then a few tees came up with a bold and revolutionary idea: clans. There were several clans: Lazor, ThePuma, GT, and SKT, and many smaller ones. For a while, relatively little went on between them. But eventually, the clans grew so large that they were taking each other's members. Tensions began to arise, but, alas, the tees could do nothing, for they had no weapons. But one day, a young tee named Lappi approached the two aliens with a proposal. He said that, if the aliens gave them some basic weapons - the hammer, the pistol, the shotgun, the grenade, and the laser - he would make arenas for the clans to fight in. With this new system, the ever-growing clans could finally show each other who was best. Soon the clans developed military organizations: some had squadrons, some co-leaders, some even had hackers to disrupt the natural order. But all was not well. The so called maps - arenas that the tees could fight in - were getting bigger and bigger. Soon, even Lappi couldn't climb their summits. The aliens, who were entertained by the fighting, were annoyed by this obstacle, and quickly made a set of default arenas that any tee could run through. However, this was not enough, for the tees were attracted to new arenas. Matricks and Teetow decided to create a permanent solution to the height problem. They hired a few other aliens from a nearby planet to help them work on a master weapon: the hook. This new device could latch on to almost any wall and propel a tee upward. After that, fighting became popular. Many tees participated - pros and noobs - and clans were never more successful. The aliens watched this in amusement, but eventually they were bored with the whole thing. To spice up the game, they added a bind feature, which would forever change the world...

I need to figure out something to put here.
