Here's my theory: the mice live in this HUGE series of tunnels and stuff that exist in a dimensional plane that slots between the 3rd and 2nd dimensions. So it's between 2D and 3D so we can't see it. Of course, food can't grow in this dimension, so they have to leave the tunnels and venture into the 2nd dimension to get food (cheese). Then each mouse keeps a small bit of each cheese they collect. Food can't decompose in their home dimension so it stays there forever. Then they use this cheese as a currency to pay worker mice (rats) to produce various items of clothing. Of course the rats are fine with this. They're rats.

Such imagination :D

I once gave a really big description on what I thought happend, this was because people asked why if mice died they would explode into bubbles.

In general the idea behind it is that, there is 1 main dimention the mice reside in. This section we can consider 'Beyondthehole' with this I mean the hole of the mice. This hole is also a portal, and only this portal allows mice to travel and take back valuable resources. As in valuable resources for the mice are cheese, since they can purchase all kinds of things with them, and also they are a great source of food. Secondly if we look at how mice spawn, mice are allowed with their magic, able to go through a dimentional layer into the 2d platform which we consider the map, but they cannot take anything but themselves through it. So once they get the resources, they have to go through the hole to take them back. Since they can't just go through the 3rd dimentional plane. Although the option is there for them to do it, when mice fall off the map to prevent themselves from dieing and falling in infinity, they will move through the 3rd dimention, but in doing so they will lose the cheese. Since this is quite forcefully done, the mice are fracturing through the dimentional layer, and just like a rock falling in water, will create ripples and bubbles. So the bubbles are made of dimentional material.
So if these mice are on a mission to get resources, why don't we send out more shamans. Well the first thing is, shaman is a very important job, and it is resource costly to have any in the first place. So fitting the enviroment they will assign a certain amount of magic. And also since previous experiences with more shamans, ending up killing each other for royalty they skipped the idea for the most place.
Magic? We think what the mice have is considered a type of magic, but it can also be a more practical form. For now we can consider it magic, but if you think about it, all the mice are summoning is objects and organic material. Spawning it out of thin air. Keep in mind that the mice can spawn and go through the 3rd dimention at their choice but they cannot take resources without using the hole portal. So what might be happening is that the shamans are passing through coordinates and information for a system in the 'beyondthehole' to push objects through the dimention at the right coordinates. And for specific shaman skills these are the same, by reviving you pull them through the 3rd dimention. But there are some types of magic that allow travel through the barrier with the cheese. First one is the option with the heart, this forcefully pushes a mouse with their resources through the 3rd dimention. But there is the last most misterious one, the teleportation. You are allowed to teleport with cheese on you through the dimentions, why is this allowed? And why would they come back? Well this is since this could lead to fraudelent resource thievery. Allowing mice to go through and stay there without going through detection would be least favourable.
So why are mice doing this? Since if you look at 'beyondthehole' we know nothing about this. All we know its a place where they lack resources, and where mice reside. Also we know that there are resource missions of lots of devisions, there are countless of rooms of different natives going on a resource mission. But there is one more frighting thing, is that the mice learned to get control over the dimentions they go for resources. They made houses out of them, made worlds for their doing. Some really difficult worlds, in the beginning this wasn't the case. It might be that they became bored of their original world, and changed their resource gathering world in some sort of fun game. Since if you think about it, there is a lot of action and no chance of death. It is the most perfect way to kill time and be usefull.

Can we also explain why mice decide to eat the sham with the cheese? Plot twist: Mice are made out of cheese

Mice and shamans who stole the cheese, litterally stole resources. Together with that some mice stole the shaman abilities aswell, and took control over the system behind the 'beyondthehole' to assist them in their plan. And thus these illegitimate resources need to be taken back through the portal. And so the mice take the cheese from the mouse and when he loses his cheese and anything to fight for, they run back through the 3rd dimention to save themselves. Who knows what the mice might do if they catch them.

Time to add additional information!

Now we need to look at the admins, they are the ones in control over everything. They must be the company behind the resource gathering operations, and have all control over the systems that mice have access to. And moderators are their employees that opperate their terms and also count as team leaders.
If we look back at earlier days of the 'beyondthehole' resource gathering expedition. We will see there wasn't much more than that we currently know of as vanilla. Specific dimentions where the resource gathering was generally simple. After time has passed, you could see a trend existing, and this trend is to move away from company clothing. Mice wanted individuality, and so they were allowed to have freedom of expression.
Soon after this it became apparent that mice actually enjoyed the resource gathering jobs and so they as a company became more focussed on that. Instead of paying the mice to do the work, lets make the mice to pay us to be allowed to do work. With this finances for the company skyrocketed, and were invested in new dimentional machinery and research. One of the first big breakthroughs was the dimentional manipulator tool, this allowed the company to create own specific dimentions. As this tool is very costly the use they added a pricetag for every use. Once a dimention was created it could appear for the resourcegathering expeditions. But soon after they made this tool open for public use they realised, not every mouse had dimentions in mind for efficient use. But for evil deeds and make life misserable for other mice. So in a attempt to prevent the company from getting a backdrop of employees they set up a specific company section to take care of the original way resources were gathered. Indeed this helped a little, but it didn't stop the mice from making their death machine dimentions. And with anything experts started to form over these kinds of dimentions. At first the team leaders took responsability for dimentions and maybe remove connections to corrupt dimentions. But the company bosses knew these were obviously incompetent to deal with these kinds of things, so they thought of different ways to deal with dimentional corruption and order. And this led to a new system behind how mice were allowed to enter dimentions, and make them. Certain criteria were set, discussed with the newly created experts of the dimentions. These experts were once expeditionars aswell, and some still are. But these became soo knowledgable about the dimentions not even the company bosses have a clue what they are on about most of the time. These people had to decide and were given control over the dimentional portals.
Over the years of the company progression the dimentions changed a lot. At the start these dimentions only had 2 valuable resources. Wood and Cheese. About the wood, in the early days there was wood with certain properties that could do magical things, like bounce even really hard. Or have a really great grip. Later when dimentions were created by mice through the dimentional manipulator, more natural materials were added into dimentions. Why this?
Since we can see at a certain point the company transformed from resource gathering into a more entertainment style company, although still gathering resources even more than before. So to make entertainment better, one of the most important things is scenery. Have things look good, and be nice. So organic material, plants and other substances were brought into the dimentions and were used to make them look better.
But these matters don't actually exist in these worlds, they are made visable through the dimentional manipulator. It is possible to change settings of these machines to control the matter specifically in the world. With this, this allows mice to set options that the grounds they walk on would display basic grounds existant in the world, or the cover up material that is brought in by the dimentional manipulator. Mice even have the option to see through other mice using the dimentional manipulator right, they will be placed to a paralel dimention and all mice from the other one will move as ghosts.

What is in my mind is that theres a world living in maps.
Everyone have a chance of making a world a better place. They come in different forms of ways. For example mice who find those offenders could get upgraded to different forms and ways of being a leader. So mods, helpers are the leaders. Admins are the high end leaders, and tigrounette being the king, meli the queen. Mice use the currency cheese while fraises are like gold. We work in buildings also knowned as maps. The more you work the more cheese you get, which is in the form of paying you. You can spend the cheese on buying clothes for fashion. You can also change your skin tone which would cause you alot of money as the world is depromting racial fights. The King insists that everyone should be equal and the maximum you can be different is in the way you look. Every map you make has a price which limits mice from building dangerous buildings. For every good building, you get a perm, which is a letter from the government to allow you to have it seen by others has a role model. It would also decrease the price you would have to pay to make another building. Titles are a form of rewards for working hard, so if you work lesser, you get lesser cheese, and lesser titles. Buildings have limited resources, exceeding the limit or the budget weight could cause the building to not be made or could top[le the building. There are many spies hidden in the society to look out for the theifs and crooks. They range from a different variety, from ex-theives to good citizen. Every action has its own consequences, hence if you make a small mistake you could be forgiven. However, if the mistake is too huge, you get a ban from the society stuck in a mice prison. Worst, if you do it again or on purpose, you will get a death sentence. Map crew are architects which helps other mice to build or give advance on their buildings. They also decide which buildings are to be added or demolished. Forum are where you source for information or where u help others. You can post suggestions to the King and Queen for approval. The security guards who guard the forum are called sentinels. They block of scammers who try to scare mice who are reading the forums. However, the warning system applies same as the game warning. Small offences such as acting as a sentinel and instructing others could get you placed in to jail for a day or rehab center for a feel hours. If any leaders, guards are caught abusing their rights, the are downgraded to a normal worker or when the situation gets worst, they get removed from the society. Events happen when a famous leader has a death anniversary. For example Father Chrismas and Fishbot passed away after helping lots of mice. The king will call it a event and everyone can work for rare costumes. Tribes are where mice live, their family are lead by a spiritual cheif which determines how the tribe is to be run.

Doesn't seem quite accurate/likely.

So are mice 3d entities displayed as 2d? If they are 2d in themselves, it would be impossible for mice to comprehend 3d, let alone travel through 3d space.

You don't need to be 3d to move through 3d space. I'll explain.


If we look at this image you see X and Y, If you look only at these and you would ignore Z, then you would have a 2d world. So there are 2 dimentions, X and Y. Which also could be considered horizontal, and vertical. Now there is Z aswell, this is depth! Aka, the 3rd dimention. If mice go into the hole, they basically go to the back, which is Z. Which means they pass through the 3rd dimention.

There is also a suggestion that the world that the mice are in is 3 dimentional, and that is if you look at the mice and the objects/decoration. The mice don't all stand on the same location at all times. Some mice are infront of others. This means they are all on a different 3rd dimention. But if you look only at it as it were 2 dimentional, and then you would see the mice colide. Oh wait, we have heard about this! Collision maps, these would be the only ones you could consider truely 2 dimentional. But still we have other things than just mice. And there is also decoration. Decoration, one decoration is infront of the other. Means there must be depth if it is infront. If you look at mapeditor (aka the dementional manipulation tool) you also see this certain value called Z value. As you see X and Y on objects and grounds, they also have a Z value. This suggests that there is indeed a 3rd dimention in this world.

Oh dear...

[Moderator] Please do not quote long posts, thank you! And do not change moderation messages.

My theory is a bunch of mice live in a huge valley. Cheese and tiny holes are scattered everywhere by a cat. The cat creates the obstacles and all the stuff that blocks your way. However, every once and a while, a mouse will earn a special power and get to spawn stuff. So, the mice get around the obstacles and collect cheese to bring to the hole. I thought of this because when you die, the game seems pretty happy. Not sure about twhen you DO get the cheese, but I believe this story. Please tell me ANYTHING you wish that I could improve on.

Have I talked about hackers yet? Hackers are litterally hackers of the dimentional manipulator, and the system behind the shaman. It is a mouse that uses a system created by smart mice minds. This system will corrupt the control system behind everything. And thus the world gets effected. And since we talked about how mice are in paralel universes, it allows them to only manipulate their own world and in this way create a unfair competition for the resource gathering expedition.

My theory:

The queen of Shamania with her minions wants to destroy the Sourinion village. All the mice that live in that village must not let her destroy it. So the queen puts up some Holy Cheese and mouse holes with traps. The minions (ex. Impuredeath) make up some MORE traps. The mice must collect all the Holy Cheese. The Holy Cheese, when eaten, makes a mouse stronger than even the strongest shaman. (the cheese power won't work for the mice of Shamania, the queen and her minions.) All the pieces of cheese are enough to all the mice of Sourinion. But some mice come to the evil queen's side. (hackers, thieves that get the cheese first) When all the mice will work together, then soon they will become strong enough to defeat the queen and her minions.

All these theories are... interesting o.o

Hmm might as well throw in mine(it is flawed by the way):

Mice were once living happily in their land, until monsters, um lets call them Hujans (shh don't judge me), invaded Transformice. Their queen, Elisah, was captured and held captive by these monsters. The problem is, that the mice don't know how the monsters actually looked like, because they were shapeshifters. They limited the expansion of Transformice, and if a mouse passed these boundaries, it will set up a bubble alarm, killing the mice instantly. The mice were set to collect cheese, in order to gain enough to grow big and strong, to defeat the Hujans. Of course, the mice had to dress up in their outfits to sometimes fool the Hujans, or just dress up as warriors. The Hujans have appeared in the Halloween 2012 event as skeletons and ghosts, who set out to attack us. They also formed into a the huge skeleton cat to destroy us, but that failed. Elisah has set up minigames to test our strength, and to get us prepared for the huge battle. Sometimes, a Hujan controls one of the mice, and makes them steal the cheese, and the others chase the mouse, slowly devouring the mouse as well, to get rid of the Hujan inside. When the mouse(or should I say Hujan) is at it's weakest point, it sets up the bubble alarm, and makes the Hujan escape. The shaman's are little angels sent by Elisah to guide the mouse to the cheese so they can become stronger and store more supplies.

Anything I missed?
