THE BORG!!! versus the ewoks...

[Fingolfin_Noldor]

Last time I checked, arrows and spears don't have a frequency to adapt to.

borg drones + enemy with projectile weapons = huge pile of rotting borg meat.

Aiiiiyiiiyah!!!! *lots of spears and rocks fly*

But they don't usually adapt to projectiles because they're too primitive! (Somebody tried to argue that to me once. That Borg adaptation has an on and off switch for everything, and projectile adaptation was set to off during FC).

After all, the Borg say "We will adapt". It must be true.

So the borg decide not to adapt to something even though they're getting slaughtered by it. That is when you tell them, "So you think the borg are even BIGGER morons than they are shown to be on scren?"

Well my post about jar jar cant be re-used as there are no other humans to find the ewoks objectionable. However the fact that a little 4 ft tall furry critter can heft a 3 ft plus diameter rock and toss it like it was made of foam or paper machet means that a) lots of crushed borg skulls (they are unarmoured) b) lots of borg broken bones (their armour doesnt seem to assist in any way against objects as such - after all most of the effect of a bat leth will be in kinetic energy similar to a european 2 handed sword).

If they can heft large boulders and use a bow then it is conceivable that the arrows will have more effect and kinetic energy than a .45 mm slug from a tommy gun (after all how dense (and heavy the arrows be) could the trees be just to hold the tree top above the ground - let alone crush a lightly armoured verhicle).

lastly the borg group down below the platforms intending to climb up those fast moving heavy arrows just got gravity assistance yay!! and borg armour cant stop a batleth or a bullet. Unless the Borg can be proven able to catch enough ewoks to replace lost drones you have a problem.

Sure the storm troopers couldnt help the borg I mean they do happen to be clones while not souless it might mean they dont believe in god lol.

I recall saying something like that. The guy replied that projectiles and melee weapons are not considered a threat. I told him about how they killed Borg in FC repeatedly. He insisted those were flukes and that they were still not a threat.

The lesson? Never argue with a Borgtard. Logic is futile.

Jango Fett was a Jew so, technically, his clones are part of God's Chosen People. So they too got raptured.

Man, this is horrible. I mean, at least the Stormies have the excuse of a giant wailing space gorilla hijacking one of their imperial deathmachines and wreaking havoc upon their ranks, and at one point they were slaughtering the Ewoks. But the Borg? Damn!

Thats when you refer him to dictionary.com and point out that the definition of "fluke" is NOT "something that happens repeatedly." If he is going to ignore logic, you can at least make a fool out of him, showing that he doesn't even understand the English language.

edit: of course if the borg don't see Klingon knives as a threat, they won't see ewok arrows as a threat either and thus won't adapt to them either. No matter how many "reasons" (cough*excuses*cough) the trektards give for why the borg didn't adapt in a given situation, those same reasons would mean they won't adapt in a vs matchup either. You gotta love the way morons like that insist that the borg will behave completely differently when fighting a group from a different sci-fi franchise than they do when fighting the federation.

Getting back to the topic of teddy bears vs. ununstoppable adapting machines, what about the Ewok catapults? It was enough to rock an AT-ST, and the boulders looked about the right size to crush a human's torso, so just line up a bunch of catapults, aim, and fire. And of course the Borg would hardly try to dodge. They would just march on, firing disruptors -- in turn missing because those Ewoks are too damn fast for a stiff zombie to aim at -- and ignoring the falling rocks.

Even if they managed to make their personal shields adapt to physical weapons (rocks, arrows, flying logs), a flying log or a large boulder is still going to send one of them flying. I wonder if the shields would deflect a tree or wall if the borg was sent flying into one.... Their shields would be no more effective than a starship's as it crashed into a planet.

[chitoryu12]

But....but.....can't the Borg adapt to anything? They can adapt to the walls! Their shields are so strong that the boulders would shatter on impact! Remember when they blocked Picards first shot from that Tommy Gun? That proves it!

As to how I got this mad vs. idea, I got nausea from my meds and had to take a shit. It was in the toilet that I made my villainous villainous scheme.

I wish my meds were this good.

Maybe the Borg Queen could silhouette herself against the moonlight, get naked and dancing with a pair of leaves, to captivate the horny decadent Ewoks. Just like grandma Uhura and that Star Trek movie where the Enterprise Killed God.

Remember how the Queen's body is assembled? Her "naked" body is head, shoulders, and a metallic spine-- everything else is mechanical.

Well...she could flop around on the ground and when a Ewok runs into her and pokes her with a stick, she could bite him and infect him and convince him to carry her into the Ewok tree houses where she'll go bite every Ewok's foots.

Today Endor...tomorrow the UNIVERSE!

I'm guessing that for a small complement of Drones, it'd be a Borg Probe that would appear, as the small sphere has only a handful of drones, and the larger spheres have about 12,000 drones (I think that's what the queen said in Unimatrix zero) and the cubes have tens of thousands of drones.

I don't think anyone has seen the Borg fight in a forest, the closest that I can recall was the remains of a Borg drone in the forest in 'Blood Fever'. The Borg destroyed the Sakari, but I don't know if they simply scooped the cities out of the ground or not as well as send down drones.

[Havok]

Sorry for the necro, but I thought this might add positively to the topic and it was requested. I just couldn't pass it up.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Borgwok?

[Darth Servo]

We are the borg. You will be assim-yub-yub.

[gunslinger]

Oh I just LOVE this, you're one of the main reasons I registered Shroom Man...
Anyways I say the Ewoks win through a war of attrition. Their spears might bounce off the metal parts of the Borg, but the Ewoks also have the "Big Rolly Logs of DOOOOOOOOM!" (tm) that could probably take out at least twenty Zombie Mechs at a time. They would also probably have light casualties as well because you know that at least one would be brave/stupid enough to go up to a Borg to see what it does.

[Feil]

Doesn't borgification make your hair (or fur) fall out?

7 of 9 seems to contraindicate.

Locking because I let it live because it was amusing topic, if you can't even come up with something amusing to keep it alive. Down it goes.
