Palecwsmalec1 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The most probable choices are: -Fuelweaver -Charlie (evil?) -Bee Which one would i want? I'm leaning towards Fuelweaver, but then again, Bees. It's hip.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MondayNight Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Factory worker ~ bee (seems rather logical for Winona). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watermelen671 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Meh, but she's a strong independent worker who don't need no colony to hold her down! And bees are a part of a hive mind, so unless you're suggesting Charlie's powers extend that much, I don't think the bee analogy is gonna hold much water. You're trying to fill a bucket that's filled with holes m9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boss does give orders, but not in the hive minded sense that a Queen bee does to her colony; he doesn't tell her when to eat, drink, sleep, go to the bathroom. She still does have free will, she clocks in, clocks out, and moves on with her life. Whereas a bee's entire life is devoted to serving their queen. (That and she could've also quit her job, retire, etc. But I'm looking too deep into this) Guess that duct tape was from the dollar store, cuz it's starting to peel off.

You're driving too deep into the details, and misusing the word analogy—which works perfectly fine in this case. An analogy is just that, a partial similarity between too things, not exact word for word meanings as you're trying to make it out to be. Or should I say bee?

An analogy is just that, a partial similarity between too things, not exact word for word meanings as you're trying to make it out to be. Or should I say bee? The second bullet has no correlation whatsoever bee-tween what we're discussing, as you were clearly using the main definition from your POV: you were making a comparison bee-tween Winona and a Bee; they're both hard workers. The "they're both hard workers" acts as the clarification, and as such cannot just bee the partial similarity, since there was the need to elaborate on it. If you were using the second bullet, allusion would've bee-en more appropriate alternative in your wording. But that's bee-sides the point, I just got out of English class not too long ago, and I'm still in that mindset. So forgive me for lecturing you on the semantics of the word analogy, and all of this bee-ing completely redundant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize you had the power to choose what my argument was. In that case there's not much point in me participating if you're arguing both sides.

Sicko Hog Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Knowing how Klei balances characters? He'd either be able to craft a cheaper tophat, or he'd have a hat with 98% damage resistance. 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious what he'd bring to the table in terms of skills. I dunno, he's able to boss people around, so plus sanity for him when he's around other players, negative sanity for other players near him. Maybe throw in a Metal Gear-esque cigar and viola!  He'll be able to grow a wicked mustache, that provides a small sanity aura to all those around him, including himself! You know, maybe he'll be a more PvP-centric character! Also, another thing could be he's emotionally drained from life at the factory, so fighting monsters doesn't affect him AS MUCH, it'll still have an affect, but not as much as other characters. He'll look kinda like this: Spoiler but with a mug more of this: Spoiler So less gentlemanly and more cockney, kinda like this: Spoiler But more fierce. Ya pickin up what I'm puttin down? Ya dig it? Edited October 6, 2017 by watermelen671 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeklo Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'm apart of the WX-78 being Wagstaff theory squad, but I suppose it's lore regardless. It'd also be weird having characters that DIRECTLY know each other without some sort of "barrier"Â . At least in my opinion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it's early times factory work, the conditions were crap, the hours were crap, and the safety standards were crap! I mean I'd wanna beat the crap outta a person who made me work in conditions like those! And weeeeeeeell, seeing Winona beat the crap outta Waxwell isn't gonna abade my bloodlust anytime soon, I mean he does have the nickname Weakswell for a reason.

They were slightly better than previously, but during the time she was alive they were still pretty bad; low wage, long grueling hours, dangerous equipment, I mean for crying out loud her primary tool is duct tape! She probably patched up the machines with flippin duct tape!  Spoiler  Here are my sources for my statistics. :3 http://classroom.synonym.com/were-work-conditions-american-factories-1900-23383.html https://www.bls.gov/opub/mlr/cwc/american-labor-in-the-20th-century.pdf    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
