/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
 

Since most people didn't hate the pilot episode, I put together a second. Both rounds are in the same post this time.

How to Play

The rules for each round are below. Calculation and reporting of scores is on the honor system.

Rules for Round 1

Example of the Format

  1. You will need to find the connection between the 4 clues. Each clue is revealed by opening the spoiler tags in the post for each.
  2. You get one guess, and the goal is to use as few clues as possible.
  3. Clues are given out one at a time, and you should only reveal the next clue if you cannot make the connection with the clues given so far.
  4. Each additional clue reduces the points earned to the value indicated above it. e.g. if you get the answer after the third clue is revealed, you will receive only two points.
  5. The later clues are usually easier to reveal the connection with the last clue sometimes being obvious.

Rules for Round 2

  1. In this round, each set of four clues forms a sequence. Up to three clues can be revealed, and you are responsible for determining the last clue in the sequence.
  2. As before, clues are revealed one at a time, and the goal is to correctly identify the last item in the sequence using as few clues as possible.
  3. A bonus point is awarded for correctly identifying the connection between the items in the completed sequence .

Round 1: Find the Connection

Clue 1 (5 points)

Clue 2 (3 points)

Clue 3 (2 points)

Clue 4 (1 points)

Answer


Round 2: Find the Fourth in the Sequence

Clue 1 (5 points)

Clue 2 (3 points)

Clue 3 (2 points)

Answer (0 points)

Bonus Connection Answer (add +1 to your score if you got it correct)

One point in each lol

I didn't get the answer to round 2, but I knew the connection

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Nice!

SpoilerYeah, they don't really trade the latinum rather than trade for it, so that's a little bit of a misdirection I think.

Putting together the sequence questions is turning out to be harder than I thought. They're either super obvious and easy or so obscure it's not even fun trying to guess. The trading sequence was about the best I could come up with so far lol

This is gonna sound like I'm full of shit, but 5 each. After yesterday's trial runs, I kinda tuned into the sideways thinking of the game. The recent run through of DS9 didn't hurt either. This will never happen again.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Oh I believe you. Like you said, once you pick up on the sideways thinking of how the game is structured, it becomes much easier.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I love this, but holy crap it's difficult! Sadly, 0 points

That's normal for Any Connect. It's a game show for masochists. If you ever feel smart and want to fix that, watch an episode of Any connect and try to actually answer the questions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Lol, yup!

Even the way they order the clues is designed to inflict maximum pain. Sometimes the first two will have something in common and act as a red herring. When the third clue is revealed, it shatters that line of thought, and you have to start all over.

Zero once again ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

I need to turn in my Trek nerd card I think. 0 points yet again

Round 1: 1 point

spoilerI didn't know (or forgot) that Robert Duncan McNeill had directed any episodes

Round 2: 4 points.

spoilerOne of my favorite episodes of DS9. Also one of my favorite episodes of MASH.

Twisted Flax please.

11 points. Got them both on the first clue

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

5 points here. Got 2 from the first, and 3 from the second.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Two points each. Should have been 3 on the first one, but I wasn’t confident and both were plot elements in multiple ds9 eps

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I don’t see any clues, just little blue boxes with question marks in them. When I click the box, it collapses the thread.
