scrabs V.S paramites
 
which one do you think will win

big bro boogie 09-15-2003 07:33 AM

i think scrabs

paramiteabe 09-15-2003 10:30 AM

No way paramites dude smartness comes before strength. A whole pack of paramites can take out a scrab but if theres more than one scrab they can still take them out because a paramite is really tactical and sneaky when it comes to prey. They spin webs and drop out of ceilings and are vicious kind of like school children playful in a stumech churning sort of way.:D

Paramiteabe...:fuzblink:

Scrabs. Definately Scrabs. They run faster. MUCH faster! And you see what they do to other Scrabs. They tear eachother to pieces. Plus, a Paramite is just half the size of a Scrab, and a Scrab can take quite a pounding...

Adder 09-15-2003 11:58 AM

One on one: Scrab

Group fight: Paramite

Paramites can work together, Scrabs can't. They would fight each other as well as trying to hit paramites. Paramites are organised hunters, they'd win every time!

big bro boogie 09-15-2003 02:35 PM

still scrabs y guys
(hint: shred power takes out 5 paramites at the time)

RavenMM 09-15-2003 03:14 PM

yeah thats true they have shred power which will surely take out a group of paramites!

Mojo 09-15-2003 03:19 PM

Not ALL of the Scrabs are AlphaScrabs (the ones that fight eachother). If you look at one of the official movies at the official site, you will see a large herd of Scrabs. And in one of the levels of MO, there is also a large herd of Scrabs. Now imagine a herd of those Scrabs vs a herd of Paramites...

big bro boogie 09-15-2003 04:01 PM

so many shreds surely can wipe out a group paramites
(nothig personnally PA)

Nath 09-15-2003 05:03 PM

But paramites sure are cute............uuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmm..........well, kinda, in a sick twisted, syliva dripping kinda way

oddguy 09-16-2003 06:47 AM

I'm so torn! I love them both, and the points everyone brought up were very good. In the end, I did vote for paramites.

Paramites talk to one another which would indicate they are smarter that Scrabs and have better social skills and are good at working together.

Scrabs are more teritorial which would indicate weakness in the fact that they would rather be alone and not work as a team. I know all the Scrabs in MO chased Munch around, so maybe Scrabs are capable of teamwork, but as of yet we know that there's no gamespeak for Scrabs. Well, you never know, Scrabs could have gamespeak in zee future.:fuzwink:

Well, let me just say that I think Paramites are smarter than Scrabs......but if these two species had to fight, Scrabs would rip Paramites to bloody bits. THE END! :D

scrabs. Bigger, Stronger, Better.

Mojo 09-16-2003 04:12 PM

Lol, that reminds me of a song of Daft Punk: Better, Stronger, Faster, Harder (Maybe not the right order, but the right words).

Fez 09-16-2003 04:51 PM

acutally i got the quote from unreal championship.

Xavier 09-16-2003 04:52 PM

I think it's "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"...
this whole topic is... well... quinda pointles...

Fez 09-16-2003 04:53 PM

yup, were getting abit off-topic here. Anyway, a scrab would win anyday...case closed.

this is my 1000th post...erm...yay.

paramud 09-16-2003 09:45 PM

Paramites no quistion

LuLu_Fund 09-17-2003 05:31 PM

I thought paramites too.

oddguy 09-18-2003 01:34 AM

Scrabs look to have tougher skin than Paramites. I just don't see a Paramite rippin' a Scrab to pieces. I pretty much see it the other way around!:D Don't get me wrong though, I just luv those little Paramites.:fuzgrin:( except when they try to kill you and all that stuff.:flames: )

-oddguy:fuzcool:

ChickinMeat 09-18-2003 12:53 PM

I gave my vote to scrabs, the reason has been staed by a few already, and thats the shred power. I think it also depends on the enviroment that they would battle in, but that is getting a bit complex :D

big bro boogie 09-18-2003 03:41 PM

see, more scrabs (i'm sad today:( )

Alcar 09-19-2003 04:10 AM

Scrabs would win in my opinion, but I'd rather that the paramites would win. But then, the tables would be turned and the paramites would be like the scrabs are.

Then I'd be voting for the scrabs, simply because they are the underdogs, the ones most people can empathise with.

Alcar...

Bigger... yes
Stronger... yes
Better... no

Smarter.... yeah right (!)

It's true that a shred attack would take out a group of paramites, however it wouldn't.
No paramite would be dumb enough to take on a scrab at ground level! Paramites would try to insnare or arial attack scrabs, they wouldn't try a ground assault.

big bro boogie 09-20-2003 10:56 AM

scrabscan fall of a cliff while shredding and land save, aint that airal attack:D

Adder 09-20-2003 11:34 AM

Your right, that is an ariel attack.

However, to use it effectivly, you'd need to get a bunch of paramites directly under a handy ledge. And we all know that scrabs arn't that quick a climber, so they'd need to chase paramites into a ready-to-spring trap.
Somehow, I don't think paramites would fall for this...

big bro boogie 09-20-2003 01:20 PM

im confused but i stil think scrbs will win, im loyal

I think you already made your point very clear to everyone-thankyou.

TheRaisin 09-20-2003 05:18 PM

Dude, no question!
 
Let's take a look at the various attributes of both scrabs and paramites.

Scrabs: strong, fast... hmm, anything else? Don't think so!

Paramites: fast, agile, vicious, good jumpers, work together, can spin webs and/or escape lines, and above all: about a thousand times smarter than your average scrab.

Now, one on one it might be pretty close, depending on terrain, but seriously, how often do you come across a single paramite? I think that pretty much takes care of that! Booyah! Wow, I can't believe I just got that excited over an unanswerable question based on a video game. I can feel the nerdiness setting in. I better go watch a couple hour's worth of cheap, plotless action movies to counter the effect. Oy...
