But Orks don't do that.

When faced with superior firepower, they take cover. When faced with a superior force, they retreat to get more boyz and bigger guns. Etc etc etc. Orks have a very sound grasp of tactics to make the best use of their race's resources and capabilities.

So do dogs.

It would become a dakka russel.

Yes they do, because they have intelligence enough to feel fear, (now dont try and use this as an argument as to why Orks are stupid, they were engineered not to feel fear)

Indeed. Orks were the only race to escape the curse of the nightbringer. They don't feel fear of death. Their knowledge of combat tactics is not built out of fear.

Not even close: The Emperor.

Emperor got punked by a super beefy Chaos Champion who before punking the Emperor punked a Primarch for a warm-up.

Horus then told the Emprah to "Sit Down" and he has ever since.

Chaos > The Emperor

That is because the Emperor let him!

Now you're confusing intelligence and instinct

Completely different things. Worms instinctually move to the surface when it rains, and they simply get killed by pedestrians because of it. Nothing is achieved, but they do it anyways because IT IS INSTINCT.

They weren't engineered not to feel fear, they simply weren't preyed upon by the Nightbringer.

Also, back to the dog analogy (they are obviously smarter than dogs, not contesting that) they even assert leadership in the same way. EXACT same way.

Really? wheres the confusion? Im not saying they are the same thing, and yes a dog knows instinctively if something is scary, but they have the intelligence to run away (fight, flight or fright is instinctive but is overcome by intellect, and dont tell me it isnt, i was 'diagnosed' with acute anxiety many years ago and so every time my instinctive behaviour kicks in and 'tells' me to 'run away' form anything my mind perceives as a threat - exams for instance- i engage the rational part of my brain and override it).
Humans do exactly the same thing, are we stupid now too?

what by pissing on trees?

Fight or flight is an instinct triggered by a hormone (adrenaline). If you are ignoring your instinct, it is either a relatively faint instinct, or not enough adrenaline.

And the ability to ignore instincts is a trait unique to sentient creatures. Orks can't ignore their instincts. They are roughly the equivalent of the humans from around 10,000 B.C., with crude language and basic tools, but everything else they do is either instinct or genetically engineered into them.

And you don't need intelligence to run away-you need an instinct, and legs.

ok, orcs are not stupid, they have all the knowlege they will ever need built into them. The very definition of Stupid is someone who doesnt know anything... so

So socrates, one of the greatest philosophers in greek history was stupid...? Ignorance is bliss as he would say.

no cause he knew stuff
he just had the intellegence to understand that there was far more that he diddnt know

No he neglected his intelligence in his court case and other cases.

This thread is starting to look like instant chat.

New rule: all posts must be two lines from now on in this thread.

Can we agreed on this?

Sure man
Ive got no problems with this

Good then

I am glad.

-.-
This is going to devolve into people making daft paragraph lines isnt it?

this could get really annoying....

Yes.


It will.

Tzeench.

If the Tyranids over-ran the galaxy, it would reshape civilization (or lack there-of) as we know it. That's a whole lot of changes. Tzeench reaps the benefits, becomes more powerful with each world they change the face of. (Khorne would fare rather well, also)

If the Tau convert everyone to The Greater Good... that sure is a lot of change..l.

If the Emperor of Mankind was awoken as the Sensei-Emperor and destroyed all the mortal forces of Chaos, it would change the balance of power in the galaxy.

Do what you will, other powers, Tzeench always reaps the benefits from your plan (which chances are, they are one of his plans. Also, Fateweaver already knows what you're up to. Also, he knows you pick your nose when you think noone is looking) because unless your plan is to leave things exactly the way you are... you probably have some changes in mind.

Other powers wax and wane, but change is eternal.

Wow, didn't mean to spark such a debate on the intelligence of Orks... I was just calling out the Space Wolves as mental midgets.

With exactly zero evidence at all?

Given that you put chuck norris and matt ward in the poll?

You should stop complaining that the thread turns to spam.
