This is copied directly from the game antzzz.
I really can't believe that he uses that as a valid way of getting queens, more so that he actually suggested it to someone else , then just say as if it's nothing, that he normally smokes them out
I truly cannot believe it.
Then a bit later this "I will kill as many [nests] as it takes to get a queen", the ignorance of some people is unbelievable, as even when I offer help, he blatantly ignored it .
02:30:45 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: Or, if you wish to be brutal, use the digging method. I dig for 3 inches then flood. The workers will flee carrying their precious brood&queen. I just grab them
02:35:48 Overlord56: oh my lord I'm doing the flood thing right now
02:37:20 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: Have you found queen? What species, by the way
02:38:39 Pxelsam_mk_II: What?, you plan on digging then flooding a nest?
02:41:54 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: That's how I get ant queens the brutal way
02:42:26 Pxelsam_mk_II: and does it actually work?
02:43:47 Veliptor..: I never seen the queen and brood flee from the nest
02:44:05 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: It works. I have seen it happen
02:44:16 Pxelsam_mk_II: Nor me, as normally they will just go deeper into the nest.
02:45:01 Pxelsam_mk_II: what species do you use that with?
02:45:24 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: @pxelsam That's why you continually flood until they come. A nest can only hold so much.
02:45:48 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: @pxelsam I use Tetramorium caespitun
02:45:59 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: Well, actually Tetramorium sp. E
02:46:26 Pxelsam_mk_II: No, I've never flooded a nest, as a largo proportion of the nest could be killed in doing so.
02:46:45 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: Unfortunately that is true
02:47:20 Emperor_of_Rome_Constantine: That is why I don't do it often. I usually use smoke to flush out or dig or wait for nuptial flights
02:48:22 Pxelsam_mk_II: Waiting for a nuptial flight is normally the best option.
