Oddipus 05-15-2001 12:02 PM

I don't know that either, but I do know it's MudOkon and not MudAkon. :o

freakyLA 05-15-2001 01:48 PM

Melvin:squeeking paramite 05-15-2001 04:49 PM

hmmm...I think a flake might be a spiritual mudokon or something..I'm probably wrong...maybe Sydney or Abe Babe could tell us cuz they put this site together...
And because of the mudokon miss spelling I can make a horribly painfull pun...

Since Max the Mug havent answered it yet, let me try...

A SCRUB is a miserable person, that works hard for a low salary, and is in the lower point of the class hierachy ( like the slaves of Rupture Farms).

A FLAKE is, according to dictionary.com:
Slang. A somewhat eccentric person; an oddball. To fall asleep or collapse from fatigue or exhaustion. To act in an odd or eccentric manner.
So, I guess a flake is a hard worker, as the scrub.

A POSER is a person that inspect someone's work(for example, the Mudokon with a spear that is in the tree growers video, where mudokons chant to make trees to grow up again).

Big Kahonees and Shamans are the most spiritual mudokon status. the expression "Big Kahonee" comes from Polinesian cultures(Hawai, for instance) and means something like spiritual leader. the word "Shaman" is used to describe spiritual men in some Native American cultures that have shamanism as religion.

A SHAMANis a member of certain tribal societies who acts as a medium between the visible world and an invisible spirit world and who practices magic or sorcery for purposes of healing, divination, and control over natural events.


As usual, OWI uses our own world, EARTH, and her culture, to stablish connections to the Oddworld Universe.

i think calling you Van Helsing is cooler. I´m from Germany (if you don´t already know). From Solingen( near colone).
Freaky, a vampire slayer and a vampire get friends. :D

Melvin:squeeking paramite 05-18-2001 01:25 PM

Okay,call me Van Helsing!!!I don't really care but if you wanna call me Van Helsing thats okay...I knew you were German I just thought you might have moved to America...I don't know why...

oddguy 999 05-19-2001 12:37 AM

So Abe is a born Sharman?
Or do Mudukons earn their status... After all abe was also a born Flake...

If they do earn there status maybe it will be added into the gameplay...
eg. Abe has to help other Mudikons raise there status so they can help him better...

Lampion 05-20-2001 06:50 AM

I guess it's true, Oddguy. Remember that talking about creating characters? you will be able to pick up some common guys and transform them into great warriors or shamans, or big bro guys, and so on.

Steve the Gabbit 05-20-2001 08:26 PM

What about Gabbit status how is that ranked?
Does anybody think I should start a new topicabout it
:confused:

Oddipus 05-21-2001 06:35 AM

Yes.

and about the ranks in Gameplay. I'm absolutely positively surely ....ly and so on certain that it will be involved. You must give Lulu a higher rank too.

oddguy 999 05-23-2001 04:57 AM

Thats a good point about Lulu.

I think Gabbit status dosn't mater since Munch is the only one... So he is the highest posible all the time... :D
