[QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [QB] Yah, but wouldn't someone at some point go, "Hey wait a tic... the story only talks about 7 of these things... and we're building it with 9... what do the other two do?" It just seems like the logical development of the design would only include 7 markers since having 7 is integral to the working of the Gate (in the movie). As a designer, I can't imagine reading that story, trying to design a Gate that works like the one in the movie does, and somewhere along the line going, "Hell... 9 looks better than 7... I'll just throw two more on there" without asking myself what the other two do. Now... the fact that the 8th and 9th chevrons are barely visible beneath the ramp could have something to do with it. They knew the bottom would be partially hidden and that all 7 working chevrons would have to visible above it, so they couldn't have just evenly spaced 7 chevrons around the ring and still had them all visible.
