Where would you work?
 
Where would you work if you was a mud? I would like to have a boss with a french accent. Guess what I picked...

Xavier 07-05-2002 08:01 AM

you piked the Soulstorm brewery like me.
why didn't you include the factories of Munch's oddysee?

Good poll idea, Drippik.

I'd go for Bonewerkz. I like the atmosphere of it in-game. In fact, if you took out the background music, it'd be almost tranquil like the atmosphere of Ico (which IMO is the only good thing about Ico).

I'd work at The Bonewerkz. It seems the safest place to me.

Xavier 07-05-2002 10:55 AM

with all those falling objects and bombs?
hmmm, but they are everywhere, you are maybe right.

scrabinator 07-05-2002 11:03 AM

I forgot about the falling objects! But I don't think that there were many sligs in the Bonewerkz and most the muds were in safe spots(I think).:fuzblink:

Xavier 07-05-2002 11:11 AM

most of them are safe... but not all of them.
some are only a meter away of falling objects

Oddsville 07-05-2002 11:22 AM

I can't decid! It would either be Rupture Farms or The Slig Barracks, don't ask me why I just like the atmosphere in those places.:fuzsmile:

Rupture Farms- You might get cut, and the sligs are everyware.

BoneWorks - Beware of slogs! (there homeground...bones, remember?) But still quiet nice. Not dark and gloomy.

Sligs baracks - Full of mines and sharp bamboo sticks. Every meter is dangerous.

Soulstorm - A few mines and greeters, but not to many, actualy thats where I'd work. Naby blow up the boarded door to Rupture Farms with a fard
:) :|.

Feco Depo - To much electrisety and grinders.

Stock Yards - Scrabs, laser alarms, and bombs. Though the easiest to escape from, but yet high securety. Good choice for a inch by inch escape :)

Necrum Mines - Actauly, this might be my secound choice. Seing how it is easy to move around in and get out of (First level of AE... so its easy:)) Lots of shadows. And the sligs are alown. So you could sneak up on one, stomp on it, and steel its gun! YAY!
(actauly that is possible at al shadow places in all envierments owned by the Glukks)

Edit: I change my mind! I would chooce Necrum!

Whoo HA!
 
Neither, I wanna work with the Vykkers!:D

VykerSawBones 07-05-2002 02:02 PM

hehe i go to sligbarraks because i wanna train sligs and maybe meet with...........GENERAL DRIPPIK!!!!

Wil 07-05-2002 05:41 PM

Here's my analysis of each place...

Slig Barracks
With no proper management to speak of, all those Sligs could get away with Mudocide easily - and let's not forget all that target practise and gruelling physical labour you have to apply yourself to. Your surroundings and lodgings aren't very pretty, either.

SoulStorm Brewery
It's certainly quite safe, and there's lots of free SoulStorm drinks hanging about...which can either be a pro or a con, depnding on whether you're Alf or not. But then again, the Brewmaster is a tough boss, and you're quite likely to end up in a Tear X-Tractor or have your bones removed.

Necrum Mines
This is probably one of the most dangerous of the five listed, what with all the sharp, jagged rocks, deadly falls, mining equipment and whatnot. I'm also not looking forward to having my eyes removed for marbles and my eyelids sewn together.

RuptureFarms
Without a doubt the grottiest place of work, this turbid labyrinth isn't open to the public, and Molluck isn't afraid to take advantage of that fact - dangerous meatsaws, electric walls and Slog a-plenty... yummy! Speaking of yummy, there are free Tasty Treats, although you're probably them. There are employee lounges, which is a plus.

Bonewerkz
Clean atmosphere, beautiful red-brick walls and even a free information service (Bonewerkz Bulletin Board) are all pros, but then there's the many Slogs that live here. I'd have to say, of those five listed factories, this is my favourite...

...but, given the choice, I would pick the FeeCo Depot. It's clean, it's safe (both because it's a fully public facility), and Vice-President Aslik is actually a decent employer. And that gorgeous American 19th Century girdering is divine!

General Drippik 07-05-2002 08:08 PM

Gah! I knew I missed one!

Xavier 07-06-2002 03:15 AM

not only one
where are:
Vykkers labs?
Flub Fuels?
Splinterz?
SlogHuts?
Magog Motors?
...

sligster 07-06-2002 03:25 AM

Yeah, seems to me that you missed everything (almost) .

Xavier 07-06-2002 04:06 AM

ODDBODD 07-06-2002 06:05 AM

sligster 07-06-2002 04:17 PM

Xavier 07-06-2002 05:23 PM
