[Banjo-Man]

Nice timeline. And it's Stop'n'Swop not Swap.

[Chronicle]

Cool, we got a timeline now.

[ssh]

Awesome stuff!

they said that they will reveal whole truth in third game as anniversary stuff,

They actually said that? All this time, I was just a blind fanboy assuming that they would because it would make sense

[QuantumError]

I really like this list.
It is real nice to see a list of all of the REAL stuff that has either been confirmed by Rare or proven by hacking...

[runehero123]

How is the history(real or not) of Stop N Swop a theory though?

[samf]

stop n swop cd? When was this?

[Banjo cracker]

'kay, why is this in the theories section? Yeah, this is where people look for info about SnS but that's not a theory.

[runehero123]

This is where people look for Banjo Theories in general. This probably fits under a "theoretical timeline" since it's not accurate. I think the mods/admins should change this to Banjo Speculation. It seems to fit the board better.

Either way, I'm about done posting in these boards so whatever happens in here is none of my business. Farewell Banjo Theories, it's been a good 2 years, but I've had my share of posting in here.

Also...BanjoPL, take care.

[Silent Warrior]

This is very insightful. I've been actually hoping for a timeline so I keep track with all new discoveries. In my opinion, this thread should be stickied. That way, whenever a member comes across something they think is new, they can refer to your timeline and they can see it's already been discovered.

[samf]

can someone please answer my question
