/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

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

Round 2: Find the Fourth in the Sequence

Round 1: 0 points but a loud groan (in a good way)

Round 2: 0 points

spoilerI don't think I actually paid much attention to Discovery, when I've watched it.

Yeah, doing the "sequences" round has proven to be more challenging that I thought. I may phase those out if I keep doing these and just do two "find the connection" ones.

Most of the sequences I come up with are super easy or so obscure that it's just not fun even trying to guess. lol

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's crossed my mind to try to make a ST themed Only Connect Wall puzzle, just to show all those NYT Connect players what obscure clues REALLY are... but its really intimidating. Plus it would probably have to be untimed.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 3 points 1 week ago

Someone pointed me toward puzzgrid.com which lets you make Connections-style puzzles. Haven't gotten to play with it, though.

Crazy obscure or reasonably straight forward is fairly in keeping with the show.

I'm loving them by they way. Though I am hoping Lemmy's media upload limits means no audio round.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Audio does embed in Lemmy (most clients, anyway, including Lemmy UI), but I hate the audio clues in OC, and vow to not adapt those here 😆

Oof, 0 points. These are kicking my ass. Lol

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 week ago

I have stared into the void, and it stared back with all the points I didn't win today.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 5 points 1 week ago

Fuck, I didn't see these before and for a hot second thought it was a new British panel show (but then Victorias age gave it away :().

Still, these are great!

0 points for me, those are tough clues!

[–] Azathoth@fedia.io 4 points 1 week ago

2 points in round 1! 0 for round 2. Still a fun game, thanks for making them.

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 1 week ago

1 point! Lol

Oooh, I placed the first clue for Round 1 immediately but the rest threw me off 😅 Never got into the season(s) relevant to Round 2 so 🤷 on that one too :-\

Oh, maybe I'll watch all' that here! Just kidding, we've only got access to like five streaming services and violently headdesks until streaming service shenans are forgotten Uhhh, what was I saying? Anyway we don't have access to that here :-\

Yay trivia funtimes, though :3
