You know the drill. Can't ask if its a Species, Starship or Anomaly.

I'll even throw in a hint-Its not from Star Trek.

Erm... Methinks the original rules of the game state that it has to be from Trek...

We interrupt your regularly scheduled game for this important announcement

Well, how about this. The SSA can be from any of the major SF shows/movies, as long as you state which one, 'kay? let's continue with this one.

And we now return you to your regularly scheduled game, already in progress

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Well, since this is, due to its ancestry, a predominantly Trek board, most people will be familiar w/ Trek. They may not, however, be familiar w/ others. For example, I don't get B5 here, so I would have been completely lost if this SSA hadn't been changed.

*GASP!*

You don't like B5?! Blasphemer!

Posted by Alshrim Dax (Member # 258) on :

What do ya mean?? It was a cheap Star Trek rip off !!

They tried to make a scifi show to rival ST and failed ... All effects were computer rendered .. I just couldn't get into it..

Calling B5 a Star Trek ripoff is like calling a BMW a golf cart ripoff. How many episodes did you watch?

Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :

I'd hardly say they failed.. And besides, it's not a Trek ripoff in any way...

Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :

No, it can't be built. At least not by humans.

Yes, it is destructive.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

I'm still confused, Jeff. Is this Trek or not? That shouldn't constitute one of the questions.

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

Posted by Jeff Raven (Member # 20) on :

Yes it is trek. After being told that I couldn't use anything else, I switched.

Is it spaceborne?

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.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :

OK, spaceborne, FTL-capable (rules out most anomalies), can't be built (rules out most ships), there's (was?) only one, and it's destructive.

I'm going for a spaceborne species of some form. I'd say Tin Man, but that's already been eliminated.

Is it alive?

Alive in the sense that it demonstrates characteristics of a living creature, yes.

a.) Is it from TNG?

iff a == false:
b.) Is it from TOS?

iff a == false && b == false:
c.) Is it from VOY?

iff a == false && b == false && c == flase:
d.) Is it from DS9?

Well, since Sol System answered it correctly, your effort was in vain, TSN.

You're up for the next one, Sol, or pick someone who wants to start it. Nice job
