Sligs and Slogs, friend or enemy?
 
Hey i know that sligs can kill anything it sees but what about crig the slig. Hey he did not kill abe when first saw him. But i consiter sligs to be and enemy. What about slogs? They make good house pets and guard dogs. But they make a hazard when it comes to party. Hey why don't u make your selection.

SLIGS OR SLOGS, ENEMY OR FRIEND?

YOU DECIDE YOUR FOE OR FRIEND!:devil: :)

hmmm last time i checked it was impossible to correctly judge someone on a board that they've only been on for 2-4 days, there again, maybe you're crazy. Or maybe you can see the future and you don't like what you think you see me doing then. Oh well... you may change once you see Abe It... or maybe... maybe...

Sligs are slaves just as Mudokuns are. They're just...confused. >.>

As for Slogs...Sligs train Slogs. End of story.

well i think Jay has explained the cruel details of sligs and slogs in a quick manner really there is nothing more to say

But don't sligs get paid? (I could be wrong) If they do, then they aren't slaves at all, they're merely employees.

ok kai, but i normally don't use chatrooms - so i'll probably not be at oddchat. if i-are, i probably won't be under the name of I-Are-A-Slog. I usually use Talvetails or something similar on chats.

Dis man say:

Since we don't KNOW if Sligs get paid, then I have reason to suggest they are, in fact, slaves. Besides, I think I saw on the Oddworld official website that if Sligs don't do their job, then they get "reffered" to Skillya (which can't be good considering it to be a punishment). Why would Glukkons pay them when Sligs are kept in line with fear of their very own gueen. It's all a very simple.

Well, you say that...

We do know if Sligs get paid. In fact they do get paid. Their wages originally would have played a huge part in the MO gameplay, you possessed Sligs, actually carried out their work and got paid - then you could go off to an ATM machine or weapons vendo, buy better weapons and armour and access to restricted sections of factories, and this was how you progressed through some parts of the game. Besides, how do you think Sligs become Big Bros? Random selection? Not likely - the Magog Cartel would only make the expenditure if they were sure the Slig could handle the equipment.

Yes, if Sligs don't do their job or violate the rules (or rather, if they get caught doing these) they have a report filed. This reports works its way through the Cartel until it eventually ends up with Skillya. Too many reports, and Skillya requests that that Slig come to see her, and then begins thinking about a new recipes for Slig Burgers, Slig Stew and the like.

Skillya may not be the most affectionate of parents, and the Cartel certainly doesn't tolerate lazy Sligs guarding their facilities (Sligs that aren't good at being security guards or soldiers are transfered to careers in admin, entertainment, journalism and 'personal slavery'), but they're definitely not slaves.
