Tsk Tsk Molluck.
 
(on a side not I never seen that purple Mudokon smiley next to my topic anywhere in AE. What is it?)

Shouldn't he have realized that if he turned his slaves into food eventually there would be none left? Then no work could be done and RuptureFarms would go out of business? Unless he was planning on using Sligs as slaves...

Wil 09-09-2007 05:38 PM

The most rational explanation in my mind is that RuptureFarms would obviously continue to use Mudokons as slaves, but offer them ‘early retirement’. The company would still buy Labor Eggs and hatch Mudokons in the RuptureFarms 1029 nursery. The gross profit from selling Mudokon Pops would still be greater than the expense of buying them, which RF does anyway.

And if the meat is bought rather than hunted, RF pays less Moolah to hunters, and doesn’t need to worry about transporting livestock to the Stockyards and storing them there.

Mac Sirloin 09-09-2007 05:42 PM

Keep in mind that Molluck was desperate, and he would have done anything.

RF had access to Robots, or automated machines, at least, so he may have simply skipped the slave process and let them grow in pens, while machines did the work.

I think the only real errors he did was openly discuss his plans to a room with an ajar door, but then again, don't all bad guys due that? Mainly due to his arragonce, aswell as not killing abe when he had a chance, but keeping him in a cell untill he could see him for himself, again, what all baddies do.
but now I think about it, what about the sligs? were they next? and was mudukon pops acceptable to industrialists, would any industrilist eat it knowing what it was? I think so due to the posters, but it could of been like that shop in England, which was unkownally supplied human flesh as meat for pies, and people ate it, untill finding out what the meat was.

Wasn't that The League of Gentlemen?

Wil 09-10-2007 01:31 PM

Mudokons Pops are probably all bum ’oles and eyelids, yeah.

Think of it like this: The part where Abe is shown in the cell is in the present. This is the SAME PLACE AND TIME shown in the ending. The rest is all Abe telling the past, including the entire gameplay.

mudling 09-11-2007 03:22 AM

No, but abe was still in a cell for a period of time, when whoever locked him up could of easily pulled the trigger, or the sligs could of shot him straight off, instead of capturing him.

Mac Sirloin 09-11-2007 04:03 AM

Yes, but once he had eliminated the ther Glukkons, Molluck decided to make it personal.

Paul 09-11-2007 08:26 AM

Where was Molluck when the other Glukkons where getting shrykullafied?

Zerox 09-11-2007 12:40 PM

Obviously somewhere else.

Molluck would have been too arrogant to eliminate Abe immediately. It is widely known that few Glukkons (if any), consider in any way that a slave could even hurt them remotely. Molluck also would have wanted to be personal against Abe, and it's hardly like he'd guess some other Mudokon many miles away would attack him with lightening. Not many people see that coming, so you can't blame Molluck for not doing so. Abe was completely sealed, so he'd have no chance to do anything himself.

mudling 09-11-2007 11:18 PM

Yeah I guess.
Alos, did those glockuns die? becuase Mollock also got electrafied, and he supposdely survived.
But I guess the other glockens did get attacked by the shykrull.

alf's brother's mate 09-12-2007 09:55 AM

Molluck was a freak anyway, and he deserved whatever bad things came his way. Who here agrees with me?

I guess Mullock could have been making a message to some sort of Glukkon to explain the situation. He could have also been trying to buy more slaves, since he had only 1 employee left by the time he orders the death of all Mudokons. Perhaps a press confrence, which would explain how Abe had a little time before he was ordered dead. You could never know.

I would assume that was a different Glukkon. There was another Glukkon I believe that had similar clothes on at the Board Meeting at the beginning of the game.

Mac Sirloin 09-12-2007 02:51 PM

No, he says "And there I was, face-to-face, with Molluck...The Glukkon...".

He was most liekly paralysed or otherwise breifly incapacitated.

skillya_glowi 09-12-2007 05:40 PM

Briefly incapacitated....?

As far as I remember they were all blasted to smithereens.

mudling 09-13-2007 12:59 AM

It looked that way, but it seems unuseal as why would the mudokuns have mercy or lack the power to kill molluck? Because the shyrkull wasn't envolved.
As far as I remember, if you press the lever before getting shot by the sligs, you avoid killing everyone don't you? Because I think that was what I did.

alf's brother's mate 09-13-2007 09:36 AM

Even if molluck was only stunned, the blast after would have annhilated him anyway

Wil 09-13-2007 06:27 PM

What blast?

mudling 09-13-2007 11:12 PM

If think you're thinking of the Soulstorm breweries. Rapture farms just got shut down, and it's employees dispatched, but it wasn't blown up or destroyed as far as I know of.

What do you mean? Why would they want to kill Molluck? The whole effect of having a slave get past security and destroying two major factories for the Magog Cartel would embarass Molluck in a way that would make him basically the most hated member of his family (next to Lulu). That would be very traumatizing for him. Plus, the Mudokons wanted to make him realize the revenge that was cast upon him.

The suit of his also absorbed most of the shock anyway, allowing only Molluck to be disabled for a short period of time, instead of death.
