with the exception of them education is not apperent. ( Academicly)

Xavier 07-12-2002 10:56 AM

yes you are right.
plus, sligs are polite by nature, so no education for the Valets

brewmaster 07-12-2002 01:51 PM

you can tell that the guard Sligs are the uneducated ones because when ever you make a noise behind them the turn around shout 'What!' shoot you jump onto a ledge and even though you aren't there any more they carry on shooting.(What idiots!)

Xavier 07-12-2002 03:15 PM

That isn't a question of education
somethimes they are just stupid

Also, when you possess a glukkon, get in front of a slig and tell it to Kill 'Im and he'll shoot the glukkon and and other living creature in front of you. What idiots.

Xavier 07-12-2002 03:53 PM

idiots or just blind to othority guys, they will do everything a guy with higher status will ask him to do.

those guys will do EVERYTHING and they don't will think

Oddsville 07-12-2002 04:53 PM

Yeah, Xaviers right they do listen to any command given by a very high ranking and personally I'd have to say the Glukkon was the idiot for standing infront of the Slig and commanding him to shoot in the first place.:fuzsmile:

Kaimana 07-12-2002 04:58 PM

The Glukkons are the idiots in the case that they higher sligs in the first place and put them as guards. but oh well.

Wil 07-12-2002 07:46 PM

Most Sligs are not given any education at all, and are just handed out weapons and expected to learn how to operate them without the manual. Those stingey Glukkons.

However, as mentioned before, there is Slaughter School, which is where Sligs earn their names. Therefore, Crig and Wildum have actually passed through Slaughter School (although neither of them are serving the Glukkons anymore), and most other Sligs haven't - the Rent-A-Cop Slig and Newscaster Slig for examples.

Any further education beyond that is pure speculation.

Good old Wildum! I had forgotten about him.

Thanks for clearing some things up for me Max.

I'm not so sure. I think those sligs know exactly what they're doing when they shoot the glukkons. Who doesn't dream of killing their bosses (expecially bosses as cruel and sadistic as Glukkons)?

Who's Wildum?

Wil 07-13-2002 08:22 AM

Wildum was a worker Slig at RuptureFarms who treated Alf and the other Mudokons kindly. Sadly for him, if I remember correctly, the other Sligs beat him to death with his own arms. *Sniff* What a hero...

Xavier 07-13-2002 10:00 AM

intresting, where did you read that?

Wil 07-13-2002 10:33 AM

From Dear Alf. Here's what was actually published:

:

Q: Helloooooooo! Were there any sligs who were friends with you and Abe?

Alf: Once there was a slig named Wildum who was kind of a nice guy to me and Abe. He didn't beat us, and he'd even let us have a drink, if we brought him one, too. The other sligs found out, and they beat him to death with his own arms. It was horrible.

Xavier 07-13-2002 10:37 AM

eurk... thank you very much Max!
