[Xavier]

I will try
1=>2 no idee (only the history of the game for me)

3- What was Mulloks first job?
Flub Fuels Fill Station

4- What was the rasin in the first 6000 years of his life?
as a three

5- Tell me what the Flying Sligs first weapon was before the production team switched it to granades?
well I saw some with guns and some with huge bombs, so I dunno

6- What do you do with a Fleech when it gets to old?
fluchhhhhh in the WC

7- How old is Munch?
2 years

8- What is the name of the Blind Mudokon that the camera zooms in on in the beging of AE?
Bill

9- Was Abe employee of the month, year, or week?
"I was employee of the year"... I think year

[Oddsville]

Ok, I guess Xaviers the only one whos gonna try my quiz so I'll post the answers now, oh and by the way if anyone wants me to make it harder I can?

Anyways here they are-

1- What was the name of the computer company that Lornes Dad worked for?
It was called Kollecovision, not sure if I spelt that right though.

2- Where did Lorne work as an artist before he moved to Calaforina?
He worked in New York as an artist

3- What was Mulloks first job?
It was a Flub Fuels Fill Station Manager and after years of backstabbing he rose to what he was during the times of AO. Its rummored that if Abe haddn't ruined his buisness then Mullock would have soon been promoted to the rank of Glockstar after realesing his latest and greatest product Mudokon Pops.

4- What was the rasin in the first 6000 years of his life?
He was an Elderling Tree untill he shed his roots and became what he is today. The Rasin weighs in at aproxomatly 200lbs which renderss him immobile but thanks to all the Rasins meditation practice he is able to leave his body and travel all around the contenate of Mudos. The meditating Mudokons we see in Monsiac Lines are practicing under the Rasins request to do such things.

5- Tell me what the Flying Sligs first weapon was before the production team switched it to granades?
It was origanally a huge gun, the huge bomb that Xavier saw was for the T-shirt design only.

6- What do you do with a Fleech when it gets to old?
Flush it, and as we all know Thousands of Fleeches are rumorued to be in Oddworlds Underworld (sewers).

7- How old is Munch?
He is 2 years old, which is petty old in Gabbit years.

8- What is the name of the Blind Mudokon that the camera zooms in on in the beging of AE?
His name is Bill. When we first meet him has just been nomitaed employee of the week for living the longest in Necrum Mines. One of his favorite games is playing hide and go bump into walls, another thing he loves to do is Mine for unknown stuff. Unfortanatly Bill meets his end when he first meets Abe. Abe unwitingly tells Bill to follow him not realising that there is a huge canyon inbetween them... and so ends the story of Bill.

9- Was Abe employee of the month, year, or week?
Abe was nomitated employee of the year for all his extra floor waxing and working late hours. It was working these late hours which eventually lead our hero on a path to destany when he first overheard his boss, Mullock, in a board meeting planing to raise Rupture Farms profits and be promoted to Glockstar.

[Xavier]

sorry...
wasn't bill the guy who also smached his finger at the end of AE ?

[Oddsville]

I don't belive that was him altough I could be wrong, oh, well just another thing we have to ask Alf.

[Xavier]

I don't know now...
max said it was the one who smached his finger
and you say it's the one who died...

maybe it's the same, resurected

[TheKhanzumer]

Just because he fell dosn't mean he died. Abe has survived some pretty long falls in his time... so why couldn't Bill?

[Xavier]

well do you remember the sound?
exactly the same sound when a mudokon die...
so I don't think he survived

[Oddsville]

lol, I used to think I was saving the Mudokons when I let them fall in the demo of AO.

[Xavier]

well... bad idee...
since when do you save someone by killing him?
(wow big debatable question)

[Wil]

Yep, Bill is the one who thumps his thumb at the end of AE - notice how Abe says "They were using their skills to build something new," and we see Bill making the same 'striking' movement with the hammer that he did with the pick at the beginning of the game.

He was also actually 'Slav...er...Employee or the...er...Moment'.

maybe it's the same, resurected

Could be - except Mudokon scrubs can't be resurrected, only native and liberated ones.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot to say that I started answering your quiz last night, but ran out of time. If only I'd have started earlier, I could have posted it. Oh well. Time works to my disadvantage once more.

I wonder if I might try to compile a quiz...if I can find time, that is...

[Xavier]

oh , I forgot that detail.
the same movement you say? yeah possible

[Oddsville]

Feel free to make a quiz Max, I would love to compare my Oddworld knowledge to yours.

[TheKhanzumer]

Oh boy, I can't wait to see Max's quiz. It'll be near impossible. I will definitely have to give it a try though.

[Wil]

It'll be near impossible.

Hee hee hee!

Well, here it is. The same as usual, ten questions.

1. Name all the Mudokon temples we’ve seen in the Oddworld games.

2. What was the original name for the Snoozer?

3. What do the three Weirdoes each represent?

4. And just what is it that wakes them up in the first place?

5. How many Meep do the Mudokon Meep Herders herd?

6. Where do Scrabs go to die?

7. Give the early name for FeeCo Trains.

8. Munch rigs Vykkers Labs with dynamite stolen from the armoury – but what is that beeping sound reminiscent of?

9. What is Vice-President Aslik’s favourite pastime?

10. And why do Sam and Munch sympathise with each other when they finally meet?

There we go, just something to get you warmed up. Good luck!

[TheKhanzumer]

1. So far we have seen the Mosaic Temple, the Paramonian Temple, the Scrabanian Temple and the Necrum Temple (which includes the Mudomo and Mudanchee Vaults).

2. Uhhh... What-Recycled-SoulStormBrew-Cans-Can-Be-Used-For-Robot? Or the WRSSBCCBU4-Bot.

3. The three Weirdos each represent a different animal sacred to the mudokons. One weirdo (from the Mudanchee Vaults) represents a scrab, another represents a paramite (he's from the Mudomo Vaults). The third one possibly represents a shrykull, but since there are no vaults in Necrum dedicated to the shrykull (that I know of) he probably just represents another scrab.

4. As far as I know the Weirdos were "woken up" when their bones were uncovered by the blind mudokon mine workers.

5. Mr. Owl, how many meeps does it take to get to the center of a mudokon ranch? Let's find out. One, two, three... BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM... three.

6. The majority of them die at RuptureFarms meat processing plants... and in the wild I assume they go to the nearest morgue.

7. Uhhh... Glukkon-Head-Shaped Ball Cars?

8. The beeping sounds disturbingly like my alarm clock. It also kind of sounds like the trap used to catch Munch and the good old UXBs (I miss those).

9. V.P. Aslik loved decorating and checking up on the latest designer clothing.

10. Is this even a fair question? They haven't met yet, so how could any of us know why they sympathise with each other? My guess is that both realized how the other had been exploited by cruel industrial creatures. And both are lonely.


I have a long ways to go before I reach "Encyclopedia" status...

[scrabinator]

1. Monsaic Lines, Scrabanian Temple, Paramonian Temple, Mudanchee and Mudomo Vaults.

2. A Napper?

3. I'm guessing they represent a scrab, paramite and meech.

4. Their bones being dug up.

5. 25

6. In Rupture Farms the scrab kennels. In the wild anywhere they like.

7. Feeco Transport?

8. An order bomb from AO.

9. Buying clothes and shoes.

10. They both know what it's like to see their own species be taken away from them.

[Xavier]

Max I think it's time to give the good awnser cause nobody seems to find all the corect awnsers
and I'm very curious about too

[Oddsville]

Wait Xavier I gotta try!
I didn't notice this topic was updated but oh well here I go!
Hopefully this will help boost my plight to gain an Oddworld Knowledge title...

1. Name all the Mudokon temples we’ve seen in the Oddworld games.
Well, theres Monsiac Sanctum- where Abe and friends meet at the end of AO.
Monsiac Lines- Proving grounds for Mudokons, the place Abe found after he feel off the cliff.
Mudomo Vaults- Home of anciant Mudokon race that used Paramites as ther symbol.
Mudanchee Vaults- Same as above except with Scrabs.
Scrabanian Temple- Can be found in Scrabania.
Paramonian Temple- Can be found in Paramonia.
Necrum- Ancient burrial grounds for legendary Mudokons.
The Rasins Cave- Home of the now 14,400 year old Rasin.
Temple of Life- The place we see Abe and pals go to drink some good'ol brew after their long journy in the desert. Its found within Necrum mines.
I don't know if some of thoughs could be considered Temples but what the heck.

2. What was the original name for the Snoozer?
Wheew, I read this somewhere but... ah, damit I wasn't really trying to remember that *starts crying*.

3. What do the three Weirdoes each represent?
One represents the Mudanchee, the other Mudomo, and the last represents Necrum... I think?

4. And just what is it that wakes them up in the first place?
The loud mechinery from the Glukkons digging up thier bones. How would you feel if you where in iternal slumber for several thousand years then someone places several thousand jackhammers and other types of mechinery right nextdoor?

5. How many Meep do the Mudokon Meep Herders herd?
Jesus, I never counted! My guess would have to be 27?

6. Where do Scrabs go to die?
My guess would be Scrabania? or the Scrabanian Temple?

7. Give the early name for FeeCo Trains.
No clue

8. Munch rigs Vykkers Labs with dynamite stolen from the armoury – but what is that beeping sound reminiscent of?
The bear- er... I mean Scrab trap that he was caught in.

9. What is Vice-President Aslik’s favourite pastime?
Beating Sligs?

10. And why do Sam and Munch sympathise with each other when they finally meet?
Because they where both held captive by the Vykkers.

Wow, that was good Max. I don't know how well I did but I hope I can gain an Oddworld Knowledge title like you and Max... Please

[Oddsville]

Well here I go....

1. What is the name of the mudokon who helps Alf run all of the official Oddworld fan stuff.
Its Buddy, the fun loving happy go lucky Mud.

2. Who is Doctor Chester Payne?
He's the Glukkon that was on the Old site. He listed all the main info on Soul Storm Brew, such as calories, ingrediants, etc.

3. When were the khanzumerz first mentioned and what are they?
They where first mentioned in the Abe's Exoddus instruction booklet. You first read about them in the Quintology section, they are basicly the main source of coustomers on Oddworld. What with all their money they can buy just about anything.

4. Name all of the oddworldian creatures with counterparts on Earth.
Umm, I think I know what your talking about?
Glukkons
Mudokons
wait a sec, don't all of them have a counterpart they are similar to?

5. Were did Bigface buy his mysterious mask and what did he pay for it? (according to Alf)
At first I heard that it was made by Native Mudokons, then I heard from Alf that he bought it at a.....hang on I forgot.... Garage sale? and it was two dollars?

6. At the opening level of Abe's Exoddus, a flying slig comments that something smells. What smelled and what is peculiar about his flying equiptment? Well, he had the wing design of the flying Slig harness. What smelled was the fuel leaking from his fuel tank, minutes afterwards he plumited to his fatel death...

They mainly get their fuel from Mudflubs, shy little creatures that are filled with oil!

9. Who was Alf named after and why?
He was named after Alf Gamble. OWI first knew about him when he sent in his pic's of his Oddworld tattoo's. When they found out about his sad story they decided to give him a whole bunch of Oddworld stuff (lucky guy) and make him a character in the game.

10. Who is Farzad Varahramyan?
He is one of the Production Designers for OWI. Alot of his works can be seen on the OWI web site.

[Wil]

Wow, in my absense you've all certainly been busy. Right, I'm afraid I shalln't delve into Khan's quozzy right now, cause I'm pushed for time, but Question 4, while rather ambiguous, deserves a topic on it's own!

But while I'm here, I'm going to post the long-awaited answers to my quozzy.


Ready?


Here we go!

1. Name all the Mudokon temples we’ve seen in the Oddworld games.
Well, there's the Monsaic Temple, the Paramonian Temple and the Scrabanian Temple in Abe's Oddysee, the Necrum Temple, the Mundanchee Temple and the Mudomo Temple in Abe's Exoddus, and the Windmill Temple in Munch's Oddysee, which is the one everyone missed. They're the easy ones.

Now, in Abe's Exoddus, there's also the Temple of Life, which Oddsville pointed out (I told you you knew some things I didn't, although in this case you probably just have the ability to read the writing on production designs with more easy than me), and the Mudoncho Temple - but I'm not going to tell you about the Mudoncho Temple, you'll have to wait.

2. What was the original name for the Snoozer?
Snoozers were originally called Anaesthesia Bots, but OWI changed the name to something a little more universally...pronouncable, shall we say.

Damn it, I've run out of time. I told you I was in a hurry, I wasn't expecting to have this little time. Oh well, I'll be back later with lots of juicy answers, to both my own and Khan's quiz.

See y'all!

[Xavier]

temple of life, intresting. I realy want to hear more about
mudoncho temple. I guess it's the temple of the meeches

[Oddsville]

Thats a good idea Xavier! I would guess it has to do with them to, as far as the Windmill temple... well I forgot all about that, you have a good memory Max!

[Wil]

Okay, I'm back from a really boring trip to Long Melford, so I can award you with, ooh, a few more answers at least...

3. What do the three Weirdoes each represent?
Yes, you've all got the idea here. Three spirits, each with his own area of responcibility and the headgear to prove it. One represents Paramites and the Mudomo, another represents Scrabs and the Mundanchee. But what could that third spirit be the ghostly reincarnation of? Who said I'd give you all the answers?

4. And just what is it that wakes them up in the first place?
Well yes, I dare say all that heavy machinery and mining explosions probably brought the ghosts into REM sleep... Actually, of course it did, but an early Abe's Exoddus plot gave the reason of awaking to a slightly different reason:

With all the disturbance the Glukkons are making, the dead Mudokons are rising from their tombs and wandering Necrum aimlessly. It is actually these Mudombies that awaken the Mudokon spirits. Pretty cheesy, huh?

5. How many Meep do the Mudokon Meep Herders herd?
I'm glad you can (almost) all count - there are 25 Meep in the Meep Herder Village.

6. Where do Scrabs go to die?
I meant in the wild, but I should have made it clearer. Dying Scrabs make their way to the Scrabacombs, a vast underground network of chambers and corridors where, to preserve their dignity, the noble beasts line themselves up. Now, though, this ancient tradition has been disturbed by the cheeky meddlings of the Glukkons.

7. Give the early name for FeeCo Trains.
Engines of Destruction. Corny.

8. Munch rigs Vykkers Labs with dynamite stolen from the armoury – but what is that beeping sound reminiscent of?
Generally correct answers mostly, here - UXBs, the Scrab trap... only Scrabinator said 'order bomb', though, well done you.

9. What is Vice-President Aslik’s favourite pastime?
I really meant sport, which everyone now knows is Mudokon Tossing, but my tradition poor phrasing gets you all marks...well, most of you.


At this point, you've all got your eyes wide open, your heart is thumping and your skin is sweatier than a McBurger...alright, hold on, cause here it comes...

10. And why do Sam and Munch sympathise with each other when they finally meet?
All good answers, but a storyboard in the OWI studios reveals it to be because of a physical affliction they both have - they both mechanical devices lodged in their head. I dunno what Sam's gadget does, but it's there all right. I bet you're all wide-eyed with anticipation of the CGI movie of this tremendous event, it should lead to some good raw emotion.

Well, there you all go. Hope you enjoyed yourself, I know I have. I'll returned once I've calculated the scores, though, which will of course be done in my own unique way to confuse you all.

[Mac the Janitor]

Is the Sam and Munch thing gonna be in ME?
