Forum Overview :: Mischief Maker's Maker's Mark :: on sentient humans

[quote name="Fullofkittens"][quote name="Arbit"] The biggest thing that annoyed me (besides the ending being obvious as hell and OSC being a humongous douchebag in his foreward): how the fuck did the insect people not realize that humans were sentient? You can't produce and operate spaceships by accident. And why did it require <i>two</i> invasions to figure it out? Why did it require any invasions at all?[/quote] The insects didn't consider that individuals would have any intelligence, because they have a hive mind. Their 'individual' is the whole colony. They didn't think that humans would be really offended unless they blew up Earth, since that's the way they felt about it. [/quote]
