I bet when Neanderthal kids would make a snowman, someone would
always end up saying "Don't forget the big heavy eyebrows." Then they would all get embarrassed because they remembered they had the big hunky eyebrows too, and then they would get mad and eat the snowman.

I think the answer to the "Left over from a previous war" is throwing people off. I answered sort of, but I now retract that and replace it with a 'no'. And, in reparation, I'll add a bonus question.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

Man-made, remember?

So it's from TNG, artificial, made by humans, destructive, and not alive. Well, it's probably a ship of some sort, unless it's the anti-time anomaly or that hole in subspace from "Forces of Nature". But we do know that it's "sort of" left over from a war, whatever that means. That probably means ship.

Question: was it built or otherwise created by starfleet?

------------------
You are wise, witty, and wonderful, but you spend far too much time reading this sort of trash.

Posted by Alshrim Dax (Member # 258) on :

Here's a synopsis:

- Only in one ep or movie
- Not Natural
- Destructive
- Manmade (i'm a little unclear if this means manufactured, or actually build by humans - 'manmade' can hold a double-meaning)
- Not from a War (but probably built for war)
- Not a Radiation Field
- Not the Planetkiller
- From TNG !!!

Was it manufactured by an Enterprise Crew Member?

No, not by an Enterprise-D crewmember.

And Necromancers questions don't count, because If I didn't have school, I would've posted earlier, and he wouldn't have asked them.

It is destructive
built by starfleet
possibly for war
not built by an E-D crew member
seen in one episode
of TNG

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Let's see now:

-been in ONLY one ep or movie (or he's misleading us)
-not natural, very destructive. And it WAS NOT used in a war (unless it is another slip-up)
-man made, but not by a member of the Enterprise-D crew
-But it is in TNG. Ultra's clue indicates that it was in a movie, but I'm really not sure.

I can only think of four possibilities:

-The USS Defiant. It was in a TNG movie, First Contact. But it was used in more than one episode or movie.
-The USS Enterprise-D. Yes, it fought Cardassians, but the clues say that is was supposed to be in ONE episode or movie, so scratch that.
-USS Phoenix. Used against Cardassians in "The Wounded". But not as destructive as the Defiant. And pretty obscure.
-Maquis Raider. But these things aren't destructive, so we'll have to discount that.

Given the facts, I'll have to ask, is it the PHOENIX?

Otherwise, we all know what it is.

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

Oh shit. I said it fought Cardassians, didn't I? I meant no, so I won't count your question, because I led you astray.

However, First's question is valid.

Yes, it did take potshots at a Borg cube.

-Jack Handey

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

Now this really screws things up.

There is nothing that I can think of that was in ONLY one TNG episode or movie and take potshots at a Borg cube without fighting Cardassians.

Assuming that you mean MORE than one ep and movie, I will take a guess that it is the Enterprise-E, since you seem to emphasize on a movie in your clue.

Is it?

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

It's not the Phoenix.

Here, these are the answers.

-The object in question been in ONLY one ep OR movie.
-It is not natural.
-Manmade.
-Very Destructive.
-Manmade, not by a TNG member.
-In TNG. This could mean TV or movies.
-Did not fight Cardassians.
-Potshots at Borg Cube

Posted by Saltah'na (Member # 33) on :

I asked if it was the Enterprise-E.

In any case, I give up. I can't seem to figure out these clues......

BTW: I'm not taking a guess, but if I find that it was the DEFIANT, I will personally disembowel you....... j/k

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

There is no starfleet ship that took potshots at a cube that's appeared in only one ep or movie, unless you're refering to one of the background ships in FC. It can't be the Defiant, 'cause she fought the Cardassians, and the E-E probably did, too, and both have been seen in more than one production.

I'm guessing the USS Galaxy. She fought the cube in FC, didn't she? Seems to fit, and it's the only background ship whose name I know.

I don't think it was too obscure, but some of the questions weren't limiting enough to make it a definate answer.

Anyway, Elim you win, so you can do the next one, or appoint someone to do it. (Preferably someone who can respond fast. Damn School.)

I hereby appoint Omega of Jeff Raven, as you two seemed to try to play as a big team the most -- not doing so was my pet peeve in watching this game unfold.

Whichever one of you replies the soonest will probably be available the most frequent. Or discuss it amongst yourselves or something.

I'll do it, but I probably won't be able to reply that often. Twice a day, maybe? If that's not enough, Jeff can.
