Well, since the sewers are full of mutant rats, wouldn't city services do something to keep them under control. For instance, say, roving mecha that destroy all living creatures in a cyclic pattern throughout the sewers, save those with the proper security chip inserted under the skin?
Just an eensy-meensy thought.
*grins evilly, thinking of dismembered corpse thingys floating in the wake of a big, semi-smart, spiked metal ball that rolls endlessly through SD's sewers*

Why would we want big robots to clean out the sewers? That means less targets for me to slice and dice. That ain't no fun.

I don't think they would really care about cleaning out the sewers.. I mean they all flow to RED anyway. SO who gives a damn, right? Anywho, it probably would be cool for some other sewer critters. Like gators! Buahaha! Or something. But I dunno. I think perhaps more important projects should be completed before we start getting creative with the sewer ecosystem.

Uhm...
I don't like the sewer creatures. No more, please.
By Lena at Jan 2, 2003 11:48 AM
I've had enough problems with those -creatures.- But it would add more interest...I'd much rather be almost killed by a gator or something than RATS. Its quite humiliating.

Although I haven't had to encounter sewer creatures yet myself, I don't see any problem with them. Romping around in sewers is supposed to be digusting and dangerous, not just an easy way to save a couple chyen on train fares. If your char isn't prepared and capable of dealing with the beasts in the sewers, they probably shouldn't be venturing into them in the first place.

Have you accualy looked at your opponent? (has anyone?)
They're the size of large dogs.
To paraphrase Tim the Sorcerer:
"Follow only if ye be men of valour, for the entrance to this sewer is guarded by a creature so foul, so cruel that no man yet has fought with it and lived! Bones of full fifty men lie strewn about its lair. So, brave knights, if you do doubt your courage or your strength, come no further, for death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth. *hooks two fingers in front of his mouth to demonstrate* That's no ordinary rat! That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on! Look, that rat's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer! He'll do you up a treat, mate. He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!"

I've looked at one when it wandered into the Drome, made me think of the ROUS's (Rodents of Unusual Size) from The Princess Bride.
By Spaze at Jan 2, 2003 1:12 PM
Oh! Oh!
Do they get frickin' lazer beams attached to their heads!?
By Legba at Jan 2, 2003 1:13 PM
Those ROUS's were freakin awsome!
By Lillith at Jan 2, 2003 1:15 PM
But Kevlar, Tim was talking about a bunny. Which is a far more deadly and dangerous rodent than mere sewer rats! (I bet the bunny was fluffy too.. which is kind of ironic if you think about it..)
By Aikao at Jan 2, 2003 1:20 PM
Don't even start to mention fluffy bunnies on here, do you have any idea the trouble it will cause? Oh poop...

Sewer Shark was the most -boss- SegaCD game.
Well, apart Snatcher.
By Murphy at Jan 2, 2003 1:37 PM
I sucked at that game. :(
By Aikao at Jan 2, 2003 2:09 PM
damnit Kevlar. now i have the urge to watch monty python movies all day.
i hate yous.
----
ps. cockroaches.
killer hive of mutant cockroaches with spikes... no?
... like in some movie.. oh what movie was this... i'm so bad with titles.
but the characters where in an abandoned city, in a shoping mall? office buiilding... and the cockroaches where rabid meat eaters that moved in a swarm on the heros. i think one of them died ( a hero, not a cockroach.) ... it was bad sci fi... i think i watched in on mystery science theater 3000 episode... but oh so many of those movies had swarms of killer cockroaches... *sigh*
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS MOVIE? i give a cookie if someone knows it. for the love of dog! A COOKIE!
*cough*

How about some kind of mecha thing that walks around picking up random things, such as corpses and other items and then carries them to a reclamation shoot (sp?) or something. �Those sewers need cleaning....BAD! �Wait, sewers, clean, duh. �Sewers aren't supposed to be clean. �But how effective are they gonna be with 60 fricking dead rats piled there. �I can just imagine all the toilets on Gold and above back up, the poor corpies watching on in horror as their beautiful house flood with shit.
Or, maybe a system so the corpses and such slowly flow to some place, be it a processing plant or just an area deep beneath the city for stuff to collect in. Anything, just to get some of them corpses out of there.
