Funniest moment

I always saw Thrakhath like Tolwynn in the fact that they both will go to any means to win a war (even sacrificy everything, there family and even murdering them if they get in the way.) I know thrakhath has used ruthless techniques on his relatives to succeed. but I wonder if in wc4 that if Tolwynn's nephew would have gotten in his way (cause in the books where you read about Tolwynn's nephew Kevin (i think thats his name) he always seemed like an upstanding pilot like the quality of Blair) if he would have killed him.

Oh, Tolwyn. Yeah, I can see what you're saying. Okay, I'll run with the idea of whether he would have killed his nephew Kevin or not. He, or his Black Lance at least, sure doesn't seem to distinguish between innocent and guilty. Tolwyn himself admits that only the strong shall survive. Reading the novel, you'll see how he does not care how many, or who has to die to end the war. And yeah, Tolwyn is played by an absolute nutter like Malcom McDowell (in truth I like him, and he has played a very Tolwyn like Saurun, or what's his name, in Generations, and or course goofball Alex in A Clockwork Orange), but he isn't crazy or cold blooded enough to gun down the Senate when they vote against war (I'm glad he didn't, because the tribunal and suicide ending is the best there is), so whether he would kill Kevin if he got in his way is a good question. Kevin says, only half jokingly, that his uncle probably wouldn't stop with the Behemoth if the Emperor had signed a peace treaty, using Thrakhath's blood as the ink. If I was in a position to stop the war under those circumstances, I'd probably relent (the only thing stopping me would be my anger over Thrakhath. In the novel, we see Angel's death earlier, and the Behemoth doesn't come until later you see), so it is a good question. How much had Tolwyn lost to drive him to these measures? But to answer your question on whether Tolwyn would have killed his nephew...I don't know. He is crazy enough to, but I doubt that he would have had the heart (or lack of, been cold hearted enough) to have done it. But would his craziness have been enough?
 
well he might have not personally but I'm sure he would have had seether do it. He reminds me of the character that Donald Sutherland Played in the movie outbreak. Where Cuba Gooding jr.'s character and the main character of the movie (shoot forgot his name and i watched it last night) got the host of the outbreak disease and could make a cure. But because the Sutherland wanted to cover up the fact the government was making an illegal bio weapon he wanted to continue with the bombing of the american town. Thank god for Morgan Freeman taking command and placing him under arrest. very similar characters if I do say so myself (tolwynn and unknown general's character to clarify)

I also find it funny about how much name recycling that origin did. for instance the stingray bug ships and the pilot named stingray from WC2

Maniac: My promotion came through? My promotion!... Wait...Confed...that's not right...
 
I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this but, what about in Prophecy when Hawk gives Maniac a "Wet Willy"

You don't think he wants to die? If he said that to me, I'd stuff him in a coffin, drag it out into a field, and set it ablaze. I think that most other people would kill him one way or another. Have the script for the Loki incident, damn every time I thought of him or saw him past there, I thought 'dead man walking'. (okay kitty). I wish I had the encounter with the bastard in Kilrah as well. I'll put what I can below so you can judge what you'd do if you were Blair.


THRAKHATH (V.O.)
The Heart of the Tiger has failed his race . . . He has failed himself . . . He has failed the human he knows as Devereaux . . . Angel . . . his lair-mate . . .

EVERY COMM CHANNEL NOW CARRIES THIS TRANSMISSION . . .

THRAKHATH (V.O.)
His heart has not been valiant enough . . . His warring has not been skillful enough . . . And he has failed a true warrior, the Angel . . . For she displayed heart . . .

THRAKHATH
Only one among them is worthy of being treated as a warrior. The one they call ‘Angel.”

ON THAT CUE, ANOTHER DISHEVELED AND BLOODIED PILOT IS ESCORTED INTO THE THRONE ROOM BY A HEAVILY-ARMED HONOR GUARD, AND THE BLOODLUST RISES UP IN THE KILRATHI AGAIN.

THE PILOT IS COLONEL JEANNETTE DEVEREAUX - - CALLSIGN: ANGEL. AROUND 30, SHE IS PETITE. THE WAR HAS NOT TAKEN ITS TOLL ON HER BEAUTIFUL BELGIAN FEATURES. BUT SHE WEARS HER DEFIANCE LIKE A SHIELD.

THE KILRATHI CAN BARELY BE KEPT AT BAY: FOR A SECOND, IT SEEMS SHE’LL BE TORN TO PIECES RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.

THRAKHATH APPROACHES, AND ANGEL LOOKS AT HIM WITH DISDAIN AS SHE STRUGGLES AGAINST HER CONSTRAINTS.

THRAKHATH
Still defiant, Major Devereaux? If we were to offer co-existence with your kind, would you not accept it?

ANGEL
The Kilrathi do not co-exist.

THRAKHATH
No. And now that the tide has turned in this war, your defiance is a pathetic and useless gesture.
ANGEL
You bore me, monsieur.
Disintegrate me so I might join my comrades . . .

THRAKHATH REGARDS HER WITH AN EVIL GRIN

THRAKHATH
Disintegration is not for you . . .

HISSES AND CATCALLS FROM THE SURROUNDING THRONG, WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A KILL . . .

THRAKHATH
Your fate will be different . . .

ANGEL REPLIES BY SPITTING IN HIS FACE. THRAKHATH GROWLS AND TURNS TO THE THRONG.

THRAKHATH
The human cannot appreciate the honor that I am about to bestow her.
She is not only a great warrior . . .
-> (beat)
. . . but her lair-mate is The Heart of the Tiger.

THRAKHATH TURNS BACK AND MOVES IN ON ANGEL WITH DEATH IN HIS EYES - - AS THE BLOODTHIRSTY CRIES FROM THE CROWD REACH A CRESCENDO. . .

1) You dont have to write the hole scenario, If I didnt know it I wouldnt be posting here!

2) So, you write down all these to convince me that Thrakkath wants to kill himself ?? I dont understand what are you saying...
No sense man

Thrakkath wants to make Blair angry with him so they ll have a good "honoured" battle. Thrakkaths wants TO WIN not to be KILLED by Blair!
 
Boasting about how you've taken those who were important to the other side is a time honored tradition in combat, particularly among groups where the honor of the individual is important. Ditch the more modern ideas on the value of humans in general, and then go stand outside the walls of the city you're besieging, and shout out to the defenders about how you stormed the other city, raped the women, burned the city to the ground, and put every last inhabitant to the sword.
Its been going on for thousands of years, and most of those who did it didn't have a death wish.

That's true. But to me, bragging about it will simply make those they are trying to anger more determined than them, and they will lose, according to former SEAL Richard Marcinko. And determination and intent are two of the biggest factors in winning. But, on the other hand, angering an opponant may make them act irrationally. How many did chase after Thrakhath, knowing it was the wrong decision?
 
I'm not disagreeing with that (and its probably part of the reason people did it). I AM disagreeing with the idea that Thrakhath had some sort of deathwish when he did it.

I know. I was just mucking around when I said he begs to be killed, since that was really what Blair would do when you take into account what he said and did. On that note, remember how Blair was all set to kill Jazz? No, he didn't beg for death, on the contrary, he was begging not to be kill. (What a baby). Anyway, I wonder if Thrakhath knew that Blair would be looking to kill him if he took away everything important to him, like Blair did before. (Blair lost his friends, his ship, his career, and was only stopped from killing cockbreath Colsen by Angel, so I reckon that Thrakhath had similar intentions to face Blair in combat)
 
Hm...I still I dont understand about that "deathwish" of Thrakkath.

Thrakkath wanted to face Blair in an honoured battle.To make his... "claws more surpen" (damn forgive me I dont remember the spelling of this word :) ) he made Blair angry with him (by taking Angel`s Life etc... )

He wanted to fight Blair and wanted also Blair to be ver very pissed of, to hate him , so to give his best killing Thrakkath.

Thrakkath knew that it would be a difficult combat but I dont think that he actually wanted to be killed or something.He was just risking a lot :)

I fart in your general direction, you wiper of other people's bottoms! Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries!
 
Hey, does anybody know what happens if you afterburn towards Thrakhath, destroy him by firing all your missiles at him, and still succeed in making it back to the Victory before it jumps out? Does this mess up the scenario? (I tried it once, but never made it to the end of the game that time.)

Hey! Please be gentle OK ? ?


About your last post, No I think there is no possibility to Destroy Thrakkath and return to Victory before it jumps.

Whatever you do..its designed that way
 
If you fire all your missiles at him and then autopilot-land before they hit him you can kill him. It doesn't affect the end of the game at all -- it simply gives you another 'ace' kill.

This *only* works in the original version -- they fixed it in the Kilrathi Saga version.

Before they hit? Does this mean that the Victory ALWAYS jumps out if he dies before you try to land, even if the time hasn't officially expired?

That's right! Be your own man! Don't be a sheep following the herd. And some people get their kicks out of killing women.

I know. I agree. And yeah, I didn't think I'd cause such a stir by saying, tougne in cheek, that Thrakhath has a death wish. But I'm not even going to try to guess how many people would have wanted to kill him in the worse way possible.

Then those people deserve the chair in my opinion. Yeah, I'm probably too caught up in the Old Testament 'an eye for an eye' beliefs. Seriously, I really like the sig I thought up. :)
