The Trekbbs Vs Thread

Only trek stuff should appear

Idun Asmin Vs Ro Laren

Christopher · February 16 2012, 05:22 AM

Ummm... what?

Admiral_Young · February 16 2012, 05:31 AM

Yeah I don't get it either. I assume it's some kind of Trek lit character fight thread or something. The character is actually Idun Asmund from "Reunion".

sojourner · February 16 2012, 07:40 AM

Going by the thread title, I'm gonna say it's tbbs member vs member. In that spirit I suggest

Christopher vs Anwar

bok2384 · February 16 2012, 09:13 AM

Well, getting in the supposed spirit of the thread: Counselor Astall vs. Worf, son of Mogh.

Yevetha · February 16 2012, 09:49 AM

Its simple, you pick the winner and write a new challaenge.
Worf

Frankie Eyes(Chalmers vs Liam Bilby in a turf war.

Yep, it's very simple once you've explained the concept.

Idun Asmund Ro Laren

Ro, while content to appear in TNG, isn't interested in appearing in spin-off material until the novels, which don't require the actor. Thus, Ro doesn't show for the fight and Asmund wins by default. However, she's mistaken for her twin and a squad of Daa'Vit assassins in the crowd take her down. Ro is then declared winner in absentia.

RO WINS!

Christopher vs Anwar

Anwar forms an unprecedented, unthinkable alliance between Niners and Voyagers, sending shockwaves through the BBS. Christopher forms a similar alliance of TOS and TNG. The two coalitions circle uneasily. Anwar might attack, but fears Christopher's carefully-researched refutals. For his part, Christopher is peaceful, but the scientific inaccuracy of Voyager cannot go unchallenged. In the end, Anwar offers "Threshold" as a sacrifice peace offering. Christopher accepts, on the condition that he also get a novel-length version of "Places of Exile". It is agreed, and hostilities are averted.

EVERYONE WINS!

Worf attacks Astall with a bat'leth. Astall squeals in joy and tries to hug him. Worf uses mok'bara moves to flip her onto the floor, where she squees and tries to share his pain in a supportive manner. Worf loses his temper, storms out and jumps to ''Full Circle''.

BEYER'S BANK BALANCE WINS!!

Christopher vs. Timo. The universe explodes (in a scientifically correct manner, which is explained in detail)

Mr. Laser Beam Vs T'Ryssa Chen?

Let the pun-ishment commence! It's the battle of the century!

I still don't get it...

Deranged Nasat · February 16 2012, 03:36 PM

"vs" comparisons seem popular, though they're not worth anything as serious contests, of course. There's never any actual logic behind this sort of thing. It's not a measured or illuminating comparison, it's pure fluff. People just throw out two characters, pieces of equipment, whatever, and then the respondant arbitrarily chooses a "winner". You can justify the choice however you choose, and pick the winner on a whim. I assume Yevetha is just giving us a "game thread" for the lit forum. Some people, though, will need actual structure and genuine basis for comparison before it's in any way fun for them.

Sometimes these things take off, sometimes they don't. Yevetha, one day I'll tell you about First Noname'given and the Ketracel Purple...

LightningStorm · February 16 2012, 05:31 PM

I'm sorry, no. We're not doing this.

It's essentially spam
It doesn't make sense
Given the use of actual posters could easily lead to trolling
