I'll name 2 people and then you can guess the links that occur between them. Whoever gets it first can name the next 2 people.

Rules:

For guessing:
1) It has to be at most 6 links but could be less. (Note, this is counting the links between people, not the people themselves)
2) It must be able to be verified through IMDb.com
3) If it is a single TV episode, please name it or at least try to describe it.
4) If it is 2 people who guest starred on a TV show, they both have to be in a common episode. For example, you can't link Matt Frewer and Armin Shimmerman through TNG because they appeared in different episodes.

For posting the names:
1) Even though the theory is that everyone is connected within 6 degrees, this could potentially not be the case, so when you post 2 names, please make sure you have an answer.
2) If you posted names and several days go by and no one has an answer, please give the answer you had picked out and post another question.

A post on the STO forums that kinda follows my train of thought as to what this means:

Frankly, I think this whole ploy of a marketing scheme is just kind of insulting to the gaming populace as a whole.

Coining it as an "Online Multiplayer Game" Is just eliminating the word "Massively" from the description which gives them the latitude to do what they've done with STO, severely limit player interaction and claim it's part of the design on purpose, rather then the result of limited hardware and overall bad design.

So I just want to ask, what do ya'll think about this whole thing? ]]> Ten Forward NEligahn http://www.lotusfleet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7778 Racial Signatures http://www.lotusfleet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7766&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Aug 2010 02:41:25 GMT Enclosed are some racial signatures complete with my own additions.

Wednesday, August 11, 2010 marked the official opening of "Living The Trek Life", a Star Trek themed blog which covers hot issues which affect today's society, discussing the situations in relation to Star Trek. As well as the monthly column which is printed in the {UFP} Herald, the blog will feature short posts about current events, issues and insights from the author, Thomas Mullaly. He had this to say about the launch:

As such, I respond to all their comments, and I encourage them to share their opinions on the subjects we're discussing so that a healthy debate can ensue. If they propose topics, I'm going to do my best to give them what they want. Especially if its controversial.
Keep an eye out on the blog and in the {UFP} Herald for the next full column on September 1st, when Thomas Mullaly talks about the controversial topic of Gay Marriage/Relationships. In the mean time, check out the blog at www.livingthetreklife.com to read his daily doses of trek wisdom.

I hope you're as excited about this as I am Lotus Fleet! Right now I'm taking topics from my daily life experiences, but if you have anything you want to discuss, send me a message at mullaly@livingthetreklife.com

We are a fraternity at the University of Vermont that must cook for 17+ men on 5 nights a week. We need a more efficient cooking method, as well as a dishwasher when we don't even have a garbage disposal or a fridge that has shelves. We are also cooking on only 2 working burners with old pots and pans. Also, we have an over-sized range hood that lets in thousands of flies. Our funds goes to our over $5,000 per year to charities such as the Military Heroes Fund to raise money for the families of wounded soldiers. We need your help as our commitment to charity will always come first.

Some of you may remember me, some maybe not. Either way, I was wondering if I could be "reinstated" once I get home from deployment here within a week?

I'm looking to start playing upon my return and I have a feeling that RPing will make the game so much more enjoyable. If yes, do you need any particular kind of officer in-game? If no, I will look for a fleet elsewhere!

Looking forward to playing some STO in a week. ]]> Ten Forward sstrachan http://www.lotusfleet.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7693
