Given that Oddworld is roughly ten times the size of the Earth, the gravity would be ten times as strong, and you'd be instantly crushed upon arrival. Nevertheless, my gurgling puddle would be on the Natives' side.

Not really, I mean...if gravity were so great, I dont think it would have such earthling climates, it probably should be a big ball of gases, like jupiter that is 11 times bigger than earth =). So, seeing how awfully similar OW is to earth (I mean, they even have skeletons and muscle like ours) the only realistic assumption would be that it has the same gravity as earth.

That is a pretty weird thing for it's size, but my own personal theory, is that OW's moons are SO numerous and Gigantic, that they counter the planet's natural gravity, and they leave the surface with a gravity similar to earth's.

Our own moon is crucial to our survival, you know? if we didnt have a moon, our planet's axis would be totally ****ed up, and the climates would change so fast, that the extintion rates would be too high for earth creatures (as opposed to water creatures) to appear.The smartest thing on the planet would be something like an octopus.

So, OW's moons not only have to elliminate 9g, but they would also have to orbit in a way that created a balance system stable enough to give OW's axis enough stability to a rate of extintion slow enough for all of it's self-conscious species evolve and remain, and create the night/ day cycle.Pretty slim odds, huh? ;)

Anyway,being realistic, I think that if I were in oddworld, I would be pretty much what I am right now, a khansumer :p.

What would be cool?...huh maybe finding enlightment in being a Mud shaman.....auuum

*falls over, thrashing, drops twenty books and in the middle of it, croaks, "native mudokon".*

Like a lot of others, I love Sligs, and I love trying to give Natives competition. But in the end, hell yes I love quiet lifestyles and the spiritualism. I've spent quite a lot of time researching how birds evolved and how that might tie to Mudokons. But then... where would Oddworld be if there weren't any industrialists to oppose the natives? FreeZE!
