:::One take on it is this: Magnus isn't the Master or the War Chief. Why? Divided Loyalties never says he is either. And at the end of Divided Loyalties it explicitly states that he met an ignoble end, and was erased from ever having existed by the Time Lords. Magnus' activities with the War Lord in Divided Loyalties bear no resemblance to the War Chief's. And Divided Loyalties states that there were several different war games, not just the one seen on tv. The Flashback comic states that there is no chance of reconcilliation between The Doctor and Magnus. Going by a purely narrative in-universe manner(which you go far), the only rational explanation is that Magnus was another non-War Chief Time Lord, who had a falling out with the Doctor, left Gallifrey, worked with the War Lord(building TARDISes rather than SIDRATs), but was erased from history by the Time Lords. The war Chief presumably took up with the War Lord at a totally different time to Magnus, since from a purely in-universe, narrative perspectice they can't possibly be the same person.

::::It's a pretty obvious implication as my above citation proves. The above quotes from ''Divided Loyalties'' proves pretty well that Magnus is the War Chief and isn't the Master. It describes both ''The Dark Path'' and ''The War Games'' to a tee. | |||
::::Reading the information from ''Divided Loyalties'' in context with other ''Doctor Who'' stories the only reading of them reveals that they are from and about the events of ''The Dark Path'' and ''The War Games''. | |||
::::Your "take" on it involves ignoring these stories and viewing ''Divided Loyalties'' in isolation, which it does not exist in. It is part of a greater series. | |||
::::The myth can be removed from ''The War Games'' article, that isn't a huge issue. | |||
::::Now, to be clear '''I''' did not state anything about the FASA game. I stated that ''The War Games'' articles currently states it. --[[User:Tangerineduel|Tangerineduel]] / '''[[User talk:Tangerineduel|talk]]''' 17:07, November 7, 2012 (UTC) | |||
