What DS9 species would you be?

[Rush Limborg]

I'd be a stocky, polemic tellarite engaging in heated discussions for the sake of it.

Hmm. Which is what I suspected from the very beginning. /


Of course...Tellarites didn't make an appearance on DS9 that I know of....

 

[iguana_tonante]

Humour. It's a difficult concept, I know.

 

[Rush Limborg]

It certainly seems to be, I know. But in this case, I'd call it a "funny because it's true" instance.

 

[ares93]

captain boday's species, hands down.

nah, jokes aside. romulans and trills have always fascinated me. especially trills. i have a thing for the spots.

 

[Chuckles]

Bajoran, I like their way with nature and beliefs.

I really think Rush Limborg didn't see what we did there...

 

[iguana_tonante]

He really didn't, did he? Oh well. Cast ye not your pearls before talk-radio commentators, I guess.

 

[Rush Limborg]

^^Oh, I doubt that.

You, { Emilia }, claimed to want to be Jadzia--and iguana basically "agreed" with an assesment I once made....

He really didn't, did he? Oh well. Cast ye not your pearls before talk-radio commentators, I guess.

"...lest they trample over you". Remind me to instruct you, one day, on the role of the "straight-man".

Good night and good luck.

Jem'Hadar

Wait...is that toward me or Rush?

 

[Rush Limborg]

Not sure. Either way--he tends to be one for...unnatural conflict.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Make a guess.

Blame my lousy google-fu in locating the relevant picture.

 

[Jetfire]

Well..."What DS9 species would you be?" and answering Jem'Hadar doesn't seem the worst thing too me...so then there is your(Rush) post above mine where iguana_tonante is mentioned...I am kinda confused...which may or may not happen often.

 

[MrBorg]

Isn't it obvious? A Changeling. SHAPESHIFTING FTW.

You're fine. He just does that.

Side note: I once took part in a thread which asked who would win: the Jem'Hadar or the Borg.

I pointed out that, as Worf said, "The Borg have neither honor nor courage. That is our greatest advantage."

OTOH, there are many instances on DS9 where the Jem'Hadar display both honor and courage. "Rocks and Shoals" comes to mind, as does the First who battled Worf in the prison.

Make what you will of that.


However...if you're a Jem'Hadar, and I'm a changeling...then I am a god to you.

Bow, my child, to the Maharushie, and recieve the gifts I shall bestow unto thee.

 

[iguana_tonante]

He just does that.

Since when does honour win wars?

Dropping a nuke does.

My point being: You should stop watching bad Samurai movies with Tom Cruise. (Well, crap... he even lost in that one, didn't he? But they fought for HONOUR!!!)

 

[Rush Limborg]

You should stop watching bad Samurai movies with Tom Cruise.

I can't stop, if I never saw it. And I never saw it.



As to your main point--honor and courage don't guarantee victory, but honor gives a motivation to fight, and courage gives a good boost of endurance.

See: The American Revolution. And in Trek history--the Bajoran Resistance, The Dominon War...the struggles against the Borg....
