Talk:Orz (Star Control)

message: I made some changes to the language section since I felt that the example phrase was too long an uninformative. These are the only Orz-terminologies that I found that have some clear importance to the game or the Orz themselves (the latter seem to be  detailed at the other sections). If someone feels I missed an important term go ahead and add it, but the list shouldn't be too long either way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.248.122.134 (talk • contribs) 04:16, October 31, 2005
I think that the Orz language is of special interest. Therefore, a long list is tolerable.

text: It's a distinct possibility, but do we have much evidence one way or the other? The main thing we have to go on is a developer IRC interview where he refers to Orz with "who/which." Come to think of it, that shows pretty clearly that it doesn't work quite the same way as beings do in here. There's discussion about this below. --Kizor 15:08, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Language section 

message: I have understood that rather than constituting a single higher dimensional being, the Orz share a common consciousness.
If there is no evidence to the contrary, I'll edit the article. 84.108.130.242 12:38, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Orz fingers 

message: I've been thinking: if the Orz are *fingers*, what if there are *toes* too, and they caused the Androsynth's disappearence? And perhaps the Orz *frumple* if we mention the Androsynth because they want us not to *smell* the *smelly* *toes*? ;) Frigo 22:31, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Are they evil? 

message: I really like Star Control 2, but this article (as others of the races seem to be) is filled with WP:OR.  Does anyone feel strongly on the subject?  Is anyone else willing to do cleanup?  --GargoyleMT 18:08, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  OR 

message: I was under the impression that the *many bubbles* referred to atoms. It would make sense that the Orz are not made of atoms as they hinted that they don't have the same kind of material presence as other creatures. Something like, "You think you *see* Orz but Orz is not *many bubbles* *light reflections*." I could be wrong, I might have to check. -gigacannon
:Not that exactly, but I was under the same impression. In any case, there's reasonable doubt and no clear evidence. --Kizor 18:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Atoms?! Come on, what could they be other than cells? I am many bubbles. Before I came to existence I was first one bubble. When another bubble met the one bubble, they were Two Bubbles. And then they got on multiplying and are now definitely Many Bubbles. When I was Many Enough Bubbles, I was born. The Orz are not material in the strict sense we are used to, hence they are not composed of cells (bubbles), like all life on earth is. -- Dakkus January 20, 2008, 16:57:52 (CET)  —Preceding comment was added at 15:57, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
