Mean sligs
 
Why do sligs kill each other when they meet.Its not like they know their comrades are possessed, right? :confused:

My guess is that they do know when another Slig is possessed. They must have certain signs, such as eyes being glazed over, that trigger something far back in a Slig's brain that says "He's possessed, kill 'em!" I believe that I read that they can tell somewhere....

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR 07-31-2001 12:30 PM

Yeah, only when they are possed. They might be thinking, "Oh he's possed by abe and he's going to obviously kill me. Not till I kill him first!" Dush! Dush! Dush! *Cha-ching* Dush! Dush! They load there guns when a glukkon saids do it!

I think I remember Alf saying something about this on Oddworld.com. He said that In AE and AO, Sligs can tell which of their comrades are possessed because the possessed ones have a really glazed, vacant look. In MO, however, Abe's possession skills have improved, so a possessed Slig will look normal and be able to walk undetected amongst non-possessed Sligs.

100% correct 1-2

General Drippik 07-31-2001 09:32 PM

Yeah but I'd put it differently. Abe gets shot because when he walks he looks all dazed and stupid. When the other sligs see this they just pull trigger and splat he's dead. But also, Abe can get shot when he is a slig because the other slig saw him get pocessed. You get what I mean? :eek:

Your not suppose to explode when you get shot. It's nasty! Bwahahhaahahah!

One, Two, Middlesboogie 08-01-2001 03:24 PM

Why wouldn't you explode? If the bullet was from a powerful enough gun, you probably would go boom. Bullets leave an exit wound much larger than their entry wound, because the bullet ruptures and shatters the flesh, and forces a good portion of tissue out with it.

Have you seen the footage of JFK getting assassinated? He got shot in the bonce, and his boat race just flew apart.

okay... that was a quick shift in topic, was it not?

Sexy Slig 08-01-2001 05:59 PM

God thatis sick!! Do you study that shit OTM?

Joe the Intern 08-01-2001 06:04 PM

wheneveri possessed a slig in AO i went to another screen and the slig that was there didnt do anything. i did that several times. sometimes i say "hi" and they say it back. whenever i shoot em i make my slig laugh. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR 08-01-2001 06:06 PM

One time i shot him, and he fell in the blender thingy. And when I fart, he goes "bleh" and when I say arrgh he laughs.

One, Two, Middlesboogie 08-01-2001 06:15 PM

Yes, Sexy Slig, I did study 'that shit'. We studied that JFK assassaination in school for our History lessons, and we saw that footage a few times.
I know the stuff about entry and exit wounds and how bullets can cause minor tissue explosions because I like to read about weapons, and about human biology.

Danny 08-01-2001 06:25 PM

i like it when you talk to the other sligs.

"Hi"
"Hi"
"Rikkit"
"Rikkit"
"Wong"
"Wong"
"Here, Boy!"
"Bleurrgh!"
"Look Out!"
"What?"
*Bang*
*Uck...*

PinkHaired Mudokon CWR 08-01-2001 06:42 PM

You can't understand them sometimes, i thought the sligs said ear boy when they really said here boy, or wait, when they really said freeze. LOL

Alector 08-01-2001 06:51 PM
