Star Trek: TNG - The Orb of Knowlege

**Kong** · 09-03-2008, 06:43 AM

You will need to read PDFs to play. I recommend using http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rea...own_reader.htm. It is faster than the Adobe PDF reader. You may have to use the zoom buttons on the PDF reader to view the files properly. If you can not install a PDF reader or have other troubles with this, let me know and I will find an alternative for you.

Step 1. It is first come first serve. You may offer to trade characters before the game begins. You do not have to take trades but if someone knows nothing about their character and you do then it would be big of you to accept.

There are 4 female characters and we are all guys. So four of us will be girls. It is only a game. Don't be homophobic about it.

I will pick the last character.

Select a character:
Commander William Riker
Dr. Beverly Crusher
Lieutenant Commander Data
Counselor Deanna Troi
Lieutenant Worf
Ensign Ro Laren
Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge
Guinan

Optional reading. You can skip the spoiler unless you want to read every detail about the game.

Kong do you own this? I gotta say I didn't know these exsisted. I can't ever see myself doing one of these in person, at least on a forum we won't seem as dorky. I think.

So if I'm right only Kong and I know much about Star Trek?
I'm ok to play whatever character but there's some I'd rather not if possible.
Guinan(never liked that character)
Dr Crusher(same)
Troi(again, same as above)
I'd much prefer Data or Worf but I can see those being popular choices.

So we're going to do this in character right? According to the manual there's information we all have to keep secret from each other, this mean you won't be playing Kong since you know the answers?

Yes. I got it from a thrift store. It was sold in 1992.

It does seem less dorky to do online. That doesn't make sense but it does.

I don't know much about Star Trek. I've watched it some but not a lot. I have never seen Ro and I had to look up a couple of the other characters to refresh my memory. You do not have to know anything about Star Trek to play.

Yes, you play in character as best as you can. I have not read any of the secret stuff. I put everything in PDFs and did not read it while doing so.

I got dibs on the Klingon. :P

**Dudebro** · 09-03-2008, 08:42 AM

I'll call dibs on Data then. If you need to change me to fill out the list it's cool. If anyone really wants Data it's cool too. Just let me know and please don't make me Whoppi.

Riker looks the coolest so I'll go with him.

Please note I have never watched a full episode of Star Trek TNG. ;D

**Kong** · 09-03-2008, 10:51 PM

Sorry Tom. I meant to put your name next to Worf. I don't know what happened. Fixed now.

Wow that is such a good choice for you. Riker is also a smarmy bastard who thinks he's a ladies man.
What made you choose him? Do you like being called commander? :P

Btw, you thought Riker looked the coolest? I bet it's because you hate black people, Klingons, women and androids. You're such a bigot.

**TrakMastaTom** · 09-04-2008, 04:26 PM

How has no one picked Kunta Kinte yet?

Also: The most experience I have had with Star Trek was watching it with my father as a pretty young child, therefore I do not remember it, and going to the Star Trek experience in Vegas. One of the characters called me a good for nothing Klingon or something, hence my character choice.

**Kong** · 09-06-2008, 05:19 AM

Why hasn't everyone picked a character yet? I assume either no interest, you do not know who the characters are and do not care who you are, or you are just busy. Should I assign characters for everyone?

This game is best played fast and not with huge delays in between each step.

**wanman** · 09-06-2008, 06:11 AM

Geordi La Forge.

Rest are female :P

I will post the next part tomorrow.

**Dudebro** · 09-08-2008, 03:36 AM

Wow how corny, the admiral is named Di Lithium?

Also a member of the away team is named Rom Ulan? They just said Romulan as a species right before that. This can't be an official Star Trek item.

Other than that I'm interested.

**Tails** · 09-08-2008, 04:37 AM

I forgot about this topic.

EDIT: How ironic is Hobbes a doctor..

**Dudebro** · 09-08-2008, 05:20 AM

I don't think it's ironic, I'd say it's obvious.

I see Kong took a bullet for the team. No one wants to be Guinan. It isn't a bad choice for you Kong. You have a similar personality from what I've seen. It wasn't the character Guinan that bothered me, it was whoopi goldberg playing the role that ruined it.

**Kugyince** · 09-08-2008, 03:25 PM

When I click on the mp3 I get a can not be displayed screen.

**Kong** · 09-08-2008, 04:49 PM

@Tenser. Try right clicking and selecting save file as. Then open it in a media player. If that doesn't work let me know and I will put it in zip file to force a download.

I will post the next bit tomorrow. There is nothing to do yet unless you want to talk over dinner or swap characters.

Anyone that doesn't have a character in the game can still talk as one of those guys that wears a red suit and dies at the end.
