How does reaver society work?


How do they communicate? It must take a lot of organisation and communication to have a workable community, especially one based in space.

How would even the simplest cohesive unit aboard one ship operate?

Do they just insanely scream things at each other and it just happens to work out?


...then whoa, differences...

I don't think it's possible to make sense out of the reavers.

They're rabid, but not stupid.

Seize the moment, 'cause tomorrow you might be dead.

My point was, how do you envision them communicating? Personally, and over coms. All we see is a bunch of screaming maniacs, it's difficult to picture them having a normal conversation.

I wonder what their committee meetings are like before a raid. Or their council meetings to address the colossal number of technical engineering issues that are bound to be involved in a space colony.

I don't envision them having committees or normal conversations.

In any case, so much of our communication is non-verbal any way.

They act together instinctively, like a hive of insects.

The Borg that ate people, or whatever.

Indeed.

reply

Yeah, kinda like Democrats.

reply

The rabid rightys seem much more vocal to me

Hence the ubiquitous Democrat knocking remarks

reply

Oh, I didn't start knocking Democrats until they adopted insane policies. That's also when I stopped voting for them.
