paramites, more intelligent, and they capacity of make webs is nice too...

Plus they can communicate!

MunchOnThis 05-23-2002 01:58 PM

That's tricky......*thinks* I voted for Scrabs as they're powerful, vicious, fast......etc. But paramites are intellingent, they attack in packs and do not attack each other, and BEST of all they communiate!! But I would be a Scrab. *shrugs* It was a hard choice tough as they both very kewl inhabitants on Oddworld and I like them both, but hey I went with Scrabs. ;)

Okay, where's the evidence they're more intelligent? They have different ideas of survival than the scrab (where I am sure scrabs are as powerful as they are and not in need of packs BECAUSE of their behaviour that is violent selection)

The part with the webs makes sense. However, paramites can't dance. Nyah. Music 0wnz you ;)

As for communication: Maybe scrabs can telepathically communicate if they find the need to! ;) Mwahahaha. Never thought of that, huh? *grin*

This is all aside from the fact I consider being human an animal enough and am quite happy with my body and my life.

Xavier 05-23-2002 05:18 PM

I still prefer Paramites.
Okay they aren't maybe smarter but I prefer the way they act...
and I still love this web thing :D

I voted for Scrabs because they're vicious bloodthirsty beasts! And that's why I like 'em. :D

1: Alpha scrabs are either loners or the leaders of a group. They can't stand each other and they're in AO and AE

2: A scrab herd is one alpha scrab and a lot of lesser ranked scrabs (though I keep wondering if there's a way to tell, and why none of the scrabs seem to care who you possess to attack them (a move I did once) and just hack back.)

So yea... alpha scrabs don't live in herds. :) Hope that clears it up.

sorry
 
Sorry.....................................But they kick ass!!!!

sligster 06-20-2002 04:48 PM

Scrabs all the way, YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scrabs ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

As long as I'd live in a pack of scrabs, I'm cool, I don't like to be alone:(

scrabinator 06-21-2002 12:30 PM

I'd choose a paramite because I think cakes are more tastey then pies so the glukkons just make more scrab cakes than paramite pies and I'd have less chance of being slaughtered!:fuzgrin:

sligster 06-21-2002 07:48 PM

You sure, because I think pies are tastyer than cakes, besides, Rupture Farms was destroyed, remember? So you would'nt have to worry about being slautered!:D I sould probobly post a poll on the off-topic discusion, WHAT DO YOU LIKE BETTER, PIES OR CAKES?:)

scrabinator 06-21-2002 10:03 PM

There are heaps of Rupture Farm factories on Oddworld. Just because one shuts down doesn't mean they all shut down.;)

sligster 06-24-2002 04:30 PM

Hey, your right. But what if Mulloks Rupture Farms was the central Rupture Farms and all of the other Rupture Farms shut down when it shut down? And what if each Rupture Farms makes a different meat? The Rupture Farms in AO made Meech Munchies, Paramite Pies, Scrab Cakes, and Mudokon Pops. While the Rupture Farms in MO made something with Meeps. And I read somewhere that there was a Rupture Farms where they made Slurg Sundays!

Wil 06-24-2002 04:55 PM

Molluck's RuptureFarms is certainly the biggest RuptureFarms of them all, and the pride and joy of the Magog Cartel. Molluck is also the representative of the Cartel, so it really wouldn't surprise me if the AO RF was the 'central' one.

But I doubt our RuptureFarms was the only factory that made Meech Munchies, Paramite Pies and Scrab Cakes, nor do I think they're the only products to come from its doors. The Glukkons seem much more resourceful than that.

And if you're wondering, other products to come from RuptureGarms include Weenie Babies and Slurg Sundaes.

Oddsville 06-24-2002 05:20 PM

Why won't this stupid thing let me vote! Well, if I could vote I would have to say Scrabs because...well... yeah...:fuzblink:

Xavier 06-24-2002 06:28 PM

can you tell us more about: Weenie Babies?
and there was an Elum thing, no ?

Wil 06-24-2002 06:44 PM

You can find Weenie Babies in the opening screens of AE. The L.E.D. Screen reads something like:

New from RuptureFarms -- Weenie Babies! Sausage has never been this much fun!

And yeah, I have seen a poster for Elum Somethings, in the Ao demo. The poster was hidden by a shadow in the game, though, but the closest thing I could compare it too was Elum Chops.

And I'm also forgetting RuptureFarms Mystery Meat, as advertised in the FeeCo Depot.

Xavier 06-24-2002 06:54 PM

thank you very much for the info!
I didn't imagine RuptureFarms did so much things

brewmaster 06-25-2002 04:12 PM

Scrab! no Paramite no!
 
Both are tough . A paramite is probably cleverer but a scrab is really cool!!!! but I would rather be a Paramite because I would rather live in a forest than the desert.

TheKhanzumer 06-25-2002 04:40 PM

Hey Max you forgot a big one! Mudokon Pops!

There are also Tasty Treats and Meep Munchies.

Xavier 06-25-2002 04:45 PM

can you give some more infos about Tasty Treats please?

Oddsville 06-25-2002 04:56 PM

Hmmm, Ive heard of thoughs before but I never knew what they where made of?:fuzconf:

TheKhanzumer 06-25-2002 05:10 PM

Meep meat and fat is used in a wide variety of products. Two such products are Meep Muchies and Tasty Treats. I assume Meep Munchies are the same thing as Meech Munchies, just with a different type of meat. The meep ranch in MO was going to become a small RuptureFarms meat processing plant, specializing in meep products such as the ones mentioned... but that probably won't happen now.

Thanks a lot Munch and Abe! I was looking forward to having Tasty Treats for dinner!

Xavier 06-25-2002 05:14 PM

so there are Meep and Meech Muchies...
not very original.
:fuzzle:

Oddsville 06-25-2002 05:37 PM

Oh, yeah theres also Gabbit protien shakes. But Im not sure if the Vykkers of Glukkons make them, not to meantion the numorus other products made from Gabbits, Gabbit skin boots, Skin oil (made from 100% real Gabbit!), waterproof lugage (made from the leathery yet smooth Gabbit skin), and numours other products.

Xavier 06-25-2002 05:39 PM

what the hell are Gabbit protien shakes?
some vitamines?

Oddsville 06-25-2002 05:59 PM

Well heres a descripiton, written by yours truely.

Gabbit Products-

Protien Shake- The most popular yet most disgusting Gabbit protien shake out on the market is made from real 100% Gabbit. Seince Gabbits mainly eat lots and lots of fish there body retains a certain amount of vitamins that are then transfered thourgh out the Gabbits muscle tissue. The makers of your favorite Gabbit shakes then pull apart the thin stringy fibers of a Gabbits muscle tissue and grind it up. Next we take oils from a Gabbits skin (the kind that make it swim smoothly through the water) and add it to our concoction. Then we take are very own brand of artificial flavoring, sweetening, etc. and add it in. Lastley we take some of the Gabbits bone marrow and mix it with our product, this is the same secret ingreadiant to Soulstorm Brew except instead of Gabbits we use Mudokons.

Waterproof Lugage- We here at Gabbi Co. (made that one up myself) have been makers on fine Gabbit products for years and now we've just added one more achivement to our inventory. Waterproof lugage, yes now you don't have to get your lugage all wet whenever you go to the beach with it now you can use it as a floatation device without worrying. Using the latest Gabbit skining methods we here at Gabbi Co. have developed a way to streach your Gabbits skin all across our oversized lugage without having it tear or dry out! Now you can rest in peace with the new, Gabbit skin waterproof lugage.

Gabbit oils- Tired of having your face look "ordinary" well now you can quit your whining and buy our new product, Gabbit facial oils. Once we skin our Gabbits our workers imedialtly get to the drenching room where they wrentch the Gabbits skin till all the oil has left it. Then we either toss out the skin or use it to make or latest product Waterproof lugage!

Theres some descriptions for ya! :fuzwink:

Xavier 06-25-2002 06:02 PM

wow amasing!
now I understand why there are no gabbits anymore!
Industry marches on


thank you very much...
(sorry, but: what is the official part of this?)
