"Improbable Cause"/"The Die is Cast" Line-by-Line
- Thread starter CoveTom
- Start date
Another thread brilliantly slain! They will write Klingon operas about this some day.
The participants from our current thread are as follows:
1. CoveTom
2. DeadHead (LeadHead)
3. Sinistra (Alienesse)
4. Enterprise1981
5. Brains! (brian)
6. Gul Spook (Gul Re'jal)
7. InklingStar
8. leandar
9. KirkPicard
10. Vanyel
11. Ziz
12. JanewayRulz!
13. Vulcan Princess
Once again, excellent participation! Be sure to invite all your friends!
Those names should be in the order in which each person first posted to the thread. No "weight" is given for who posted more or less often.
(If anyone has been inadvertently left off the list of participants, please let me know and I'll try to make it up on the next go-around.)
I then used a random number generator -- www.random.org, to be specific -- and had it pick a number between 1 and 13. This is completely and totally random. There is no favoritism of any kind shown.
And the winner is...
*drumroll*
Ziz!
Congratulations, Ziz!
So, Ziz, the next move is yours. Would you like to select the next episode we are going to do line-by-line? You are free to select the next episode or pass and I will re-run the randomization. You can pick any episode from any of the Trek series that you like. For reference, the ones we've done so far, ordered by series, are:
The Original Series
Where No Man Has Gone Before
The Man Trap
The Menagerie
Journey to Babel
The City on the Edge of Forever
The Doomsday Machine
Requiem for Methuselah
The Next Generation
Measure of a Man
Yesterday's Enterprise
Peak Performance
The First Duty
The Best of Both Worlds
Sins of the Father
All Good Things...
Deep Space Nine
The Visitor
Trials and Tribble-ations
The Way of the Warrior
Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast
Voyager
Bride of Chaotica
Dark Frontier
Scorpion
Counterpoint
Once a new episode has been chosen, I will fire up the next line-by-line thread in the appropriate forum and post the link here.
NOTE: As was agreed upon in our last thread, when a person is selected as the "chooser," they will have 48 hours to post their selection. After 48 hours, I will assume they "pass" and will re-run the randomization.

^ "Requiem for Methuselah" has also been done as well (just in case that's chosen again).
Well, it looks as though Ziz is not going to make a choosing appearance this time around. I hope Ziz and everyone else will forgive me for doing this about 50 minutes before the actual end of the 48 hours, but I have to get up early for work in the morning, and I don't want to leave everyone hanging all morning tomorrow!
I have re-run the randomization, and our new chooser is...
Sinistra (Alienesse)
So, Sinistra, would you care to make a selection?

I also think 47 hours and 10 minutes was enough time 
Sorry, Ziz. I feel bad that you showed up and posted right after the 48 hours were up. But everyone kinda agreed on that as a reasonable time frame so we keep things moving. Hopefully, random.org will be kind to you again in the future.
"The Trouble with Tribbles" it is! I will fire up the thread later today when I am back at home.

^ i feel bad too, nothing is totally fair though. I feel bad that often times those of us who are very frequent posters are to some degree held hostage by those who post more infrequently.
The 48 window is good, it gives a definite amount of time to claim their prize, but not so long that it is unreasonable for the rest of us.
Now how bout some Quatrotriticale?
