Annorax, iirc, Q won a free copy of Warpath by spotting that they'd made a mistake.

So, uhm, Marco would the hell know why it hadn't been sent out or if it had.

So less of the attitude please.

How would I know this from reading this thread? I'm not psychic or anything.

@Q: I guess I'm not the only one getting pseudo-free books. It'd be nice to get mine signed, though. I have to wonder why you'd feel the need to pull postcount rank, though... that just screams jerk to me... quite possibly a bigger jerk than me. I fully expect to be banned for this, but you really should find a more solid stick to whack the n00bs with. Perhaps that green one you don't have?

Probably because you were kind of a jerk first, dude. The question was directed at Marco, after all, not you.

EDIT -

And Tenmei, lucky you. Amazon's still holding on to mine.

 

[tenmei]

Hmmmm, I thought America had already sent out all of theirs - Canada's normally a week or two behind !

I'm gathering you didn't read the "Warpath Excerpt" thread in your surfing in the nearly 2 months you've been hanging around this forum?

@Q: I guess I'm not the only one getting pseudo-free books.

Now, that's an interesting comment from someone who just a day or so ago complained that Amazon hadn't shipped their copy yet.

There are always conventions, Annorax. It's not like the authors never go to these things or anything.

BTW, Annorax, haven't you ever heard the old saying that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar? If you give out a "big jerk" attitude, then I would recommend not being so indignant when you get that same attitude in return.

^ Okay everyone, enough. If this brawl's gonna keep goin', take it outside, please.

 

[tenmei]

Dave, who's the new Science Officer now that Shar's gone?

Is it Cenn?

If you're talking about a central-character type, we haven't identified one. But Warpath does bring back some of the spear-carriers from Mission: Gamma.

Pot, may I present Kettle?

 

[tenmei]

Nah, I don't expect the Science Officer to be a central character. But it always ticked me off in Season 7 how they never identified who had replaced Jadzia as Science Officer.

 

[Marco Palmieri]

Ah, I see. Well, in the fiction we've made a point of establishing minor supporting characters along the way so that it's easy to imagine qualified personnel stepping in when circumstances require it.

Geez, buddy, who pissed in your Cheerios? When I "pulled postcount rank", I included a " ". This, to most people anyway, would clearly indicate that I was funnin' ya.


(" ", by the way, is meant to clearly indicate .)

As for a "more solid stick", perhaps the one lodged in your ass?

 

[David Mack]

Don't you kids make me come out there . . . .

( scans shelf . . . ponders the variegated supply of canned whupass )

( steel-toed-boot? . . . black-and-blueberry? . . . jalapeño? . . . habañero? )

( grabs one of each, just be safe )

 

[Turtletrekker]

^^

No canned Celine Dion? Now thats pain.

 

[JD]

This is for Brendan and EMH, if you had to give it a 1-10 rating what would you give it? I was just wondering because there seemed to have a fair amount of stuff you did and didn't like.

 

[Brendan Moody]

I don't usually like to rate things out of 10 (or 5, or whatever), because squeezing a complex, subjective opinion into a simple, objective scale is quite difficult, so my judgments move around a lot. But since you ask... 6.5 or 7 out of 10, I guess, which for me is a very mild positive.

Dave, Dave, Dave. Still using canned? You haven't moved to the standard-issue self-warming WRS (Whupass-Ready-to-Serve) yet?

You're slipping, buddy. I'll loan you a couple of mine, but that's it. I expect them back after your next book gets out, dude.

We now return you to your Warpath discussion, already in progress....

 

[David Mack]

You can keep your new-fangled fancy-shmancy imitation whupass, young'un. I prefer to dish out my whupass the old-fashioned way.

<old man voice>
Hell, in my day, we had to open cans of whupass with our teeth and hold 'em with our fingers over the fire before we could serve 'em . . . and we LIKED IT!
</old man>

 

[KRAD]

^ You two should just take the act on the road and be done with it.....
