I am thinkin' of something (or someone) from the Star Trek universe, either the five series (TOS, DS9, VOY, TNG, ENT) or the movies. It is either a Species (including main and secondary characters), Starship (I hope you know what that is), or Anomaly (including planets, celestial objects, etc.). However, you CANNOT ask if it is a ship, species, or anomaly.
You may have 20 questions to figure this out.

Does it have skin?
Does it have impulse engines?
Is it a naturally occuring construct that has the ability to warp time and/or space?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Yes.
No.
No.
Now, MIB, you can't ask a question again until someone else has had a chance
17 questions remain.

ok then. Got it. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I wondered if this game would ever get resurrected. I'd considered doing it a week or so ago, but didn't.
Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
1)Does it start with any letter from A-L?
2)If not, M-Z?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Veers,
Difficult to answer, but I'm going to have to say yes to both. I'd explain why, but that might give you too much information.
(Sometimes, asking too general a question is bad ...)
15 questions left.
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
Are you thinking of an induvidual or an entire group/race of people?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Individual.
14 questions left.
Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
A-ha! Snay's given a clue. I must rummage through the encyclopedia.
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
Please. There must be hundreds of induviduals in Star Trek. Maybe over a thousand. We must be careful to ask questions that will eliminate large portions of the possibilities.
Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
I know who it is now! Are we allowed to take guesses? Oh well...
It's Q.
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
*shakes head* I can't believe you blew a question by asking if we can take guesses. Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
It doesn't count. I answered it myself. *will not post here anymore in fear of accidentaly asking a question*
Posted by MIB (Member # 426) on :
Only The Holy Deer Killer can decide if it counts or not.
I'm gonna log off now to watch Dragonball Z and Mobile Suit Gundam 0080. I'll be bakc in the morning.

Novices...
Q: Is it from one of the following series: TOS, TNG, Enterprise?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Veers,
As you will recall, the answer to MIB's "Is it a naturally occuring construct that has the ability to warp time and/or space?" As Q is not artificial and has the ability to warm time/and or space ... it is NOT Q.
(And, no, I won't count that question, never fear).
Omega: Yes.
13 Questions Remain ...
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
1. It has skin. 2. It does not have impulse engines. 3. It is not a naturally occuring construct that has the ability to warp time and/or space. 4. It starts w/ a letter from A to L. 5. It starts w/ a letter from M to Z. 6. It is an individual. 7. It is from TOS and/or TNG and/or ENT.
Is it bigger than Frank?
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Timothy, we only have a dozen questions yet, don't waste them on totally unrealistic ones. 8)
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
That IS a valid question, though, since it's known throughout the land that 1 Frank equals 120 meters.
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Granted. But there is a sect which maintains that Frank's size is infinite. But OK, we'll go with the question, is it bigger than 1 Frank, or 120m?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Bigger then 1 Frank.
12 Questions.
Posted by Jernau Morat Gurgeh (Member # 318) on :
To me, Jeff's reply to the question about which letter it starts with can mean only one thing: Its name consists of more than one word, at least one beginning with a letter in the range A-L, and at least one beginning with a letter in the range M-Z. I still don't know what it is, though.

Posted by Grokca (Member # 722) on :
I should get my question back because you change the definition of a Frank from one post to another. A frank was supposed to be 120m.
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
Is it female? Is it Bajoran?
Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
So we're dealing with a Starfleet officer that's bigger than average...
Worf comes to mind...
Riker...
The OTHER Riker...
Can't really think of any others off the top of my head...
So...
Q: Is it from TNG?
Q: Is it played by a main cast member?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Sorry, Grocka. I mis-interpreted the original question as Frank to be "as big as Frank (the person)", or as long as 120 meters. I clarified -- and I did so *before* you posted, so no take backs.
Shik & Omega:
No, no, yes, yes.
1. It has skin. 2. It does not have impulse engines. 3. It is not a naturally occuring construct that has the ability to warp time and/or space. 4. It starts w/ a letter from A to L. 5.

Is it Worf?
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
It isLieutenant Worf!
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I'd just like to point out that there should never have been any confusion about my question. I didn't ask "Is it bigger than 1 frank?". I asked "Is it bigger than Frank?". There's only one meaning for that: does it, or does it not, occupy a spatial volume greater than that occupied by the entity known as "Frank".
Posted by CaptainMike (Member # 709) on :
is he bigger than a lira?
Posted by Veers (Member # 661) on :
The riddle has been answered, Mike. And I'll answer your question for you:
Worf is bigger than Turkish money.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
Except a lira is an Italian monetary unit.
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
There are Italian lira and there are Turkish lira. IIRC, 1 Turkish lira = 1/1 000 000 USD
Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
Lieutenant? That's not a name! I'd already discounted Worf because he only has one name! Foul!
On a lighter note, I wonder what happened to that leftover Turkish Lira I had from holiday? I seem to remember someone round here collecting currency.
Posted by Malnurtured Snay (Member # 411) on :
Proper title, I think, counts. Not, mind you, if it is 'Mr. Worf', but 'Dr. Worf' or 'Lt. Worf', yes.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
You do overestimate Michael Dorn's size though if you think he's bigger than one Frank though.
