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...

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.

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).

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.

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!

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!
