Hmms...(Twiddles beard) Well Carnix request help, so I try and help! Lessee...

In the games, sligs can smoke, drink me thinks, and if you play the games, all shoot Abe or any moving mudokons/mudokons attempting escape on sight and beat mudokons. They're lazy bums who sleep when unsupervised, hang about each other in groups for security, have infra-red vision (email said so) and were obviously trained to be mean (the fact we don't know how isn't so much help). Not all are from Skillya (again, email said so) so you could use some creativity there, and I repeat, they were trained to be mean. Having nice ones doesn't make much sense, its like if you disipline your kid right and he still comes out bad but vice-versa. Pretty much not gonna happen.

The problem with the sligs is they're all too nice for no reason, don't have much mud bias and waltz in seeing everything as normal - mudokons running about not scrubbing, sligs not smacking muddy skulls etc. They don't smack folk first before someone tells him it isn't like every other place. Every other place is. Misunderstandings are going to be made, people shot/swung at and feelings hurt. Just refrain from shooting in case someone gets maimed and the mod/mods eat you.

Sooo, for normal slig I conclude:-

Normal slig = mean, doesn't know no-beating-mudokons' rule until told so, could smoke, sadistic, sees themselves as above mudokons, has infra-red vision instead of colour vision due to mask and is dumb as two planks and not trained to use weaponry efficiently.

Abnormal slig = nice, different skin colour, super brains, treats muds like fellow sligs, female worker( Points at self and not Skillyaslig ), does not know said mudokon rule but acts accordingly.

Problem: An unrealistic amount of nice sligs when most should be mean. It makes the place unrealistic when you compare it to canon and limits drama. Sligs don't have much of a logical reason to care and hug everyone.

There's a high percentage of nice sligs it seems, which isn't realistic, unless Arnie shipped all the nice sligs in for convenience. I'll do mudokons later. Bed now.

All mudokons, save for Abe and the spirits seen so far are green. There seems to be a trend of any-skin-coloured mudokons. Only purply and green have shown to be physically possible, so this can ruin the realisticness, similar to the nice sligs. Girl workers can also be a problem, especially if they have boobs, mudokons prolly aren't monotremes.
