Actually, at this time, I would no longer have called Wesley Crusher a main character of ST TNG since he had already left the Enterprise for the academy on Earth. And you could say that Guinan was also one of the main characters on board... PS: I can only answer 2 or 3 of today´s question without checking so I am not playing. Anyway, it´s just Wolf and me and not much fun just the two of us. ;D

Wil Wheaton filmed a scene in Nemisis, during the wedding reception of Riker and Troi, but it was cut in final production. The reason why it sticks out in my mind is because he was crying about it on his website in 2002 when the movie premiered. If I cut the Trivia contest this time, it will likely be for good on my part, as it is impossable to get more players if there is no game to get players to play in. It just takes time. ~Myke

So the answer was wrong. But Guinan was in - albeit super short. Oh... and regarding this brain teaser. I think the problem is that people are not prepared to have to come and do the competition every day in order to stay ahead. I would rather play a quiz that is just one brain teaser where people can just guess but don´t have to finish it on that same day and do another one the next one for the whole week. I think that is asking a little to much of members. LOL

Guinan had a scene at the wedding reception, sitting at a table with Gerodi, talking about her ex husbands, while Worf was groaning about the Romulan Ale. And. .. .if I remember correctly, it was you guys who asked for the trivia contest to return To be honest, I was thinking the other day. For Speed and I to share the posting of questions, we would have to come up with a thousand or two questions if this was to last an entire year, a thousand or two a piece. It gets tricky after a while, the only reason why I was doing it was for members' fun. If you guys want to alter it, or drop it all together, let me know. If you want to alter it, any aspect, let me know and we'll change it. If not, no more rushing in the mornings to get answers posted because I fell asleep the night before ~Myke

And. .. .if I remember correctly, it was you guys who asked for the trivia contest to return ~Myke Well, this was the first time for me. I had no idea that this was a weekly marathon you are doing. I do brain teasers and such on my board but there is no time limit to it and it´s not consecutive so that you get points throughout the week to see who is the winner. I don´t think any of my members would bother doing it if they had to do it on a daily basis. I played throughout the whole of last week but to tell you the truth, I don´t always have the time to check the questions every day and give the answers the same day. So don´t continue on my account. And since Wolf is the only other person who plays it... Wolf? Whatdayasay? ;D

OK...my take on this is....don;t scrap it all together...I like it....but modify it this way.....do one set of questions per week....this way even if someone doesnt notice the game right away....they have a whole week to jump in on it....and instead of a weekly winner.....let's switch to having a monthly winner instead....this gives everyone a chance to participate and if someone is gone for a day or 2 from the boards they don;t miss out on 2 days worth of questions. The trivia is a great idea...but like Valderaa said...if you dont keep up daily you will never win and I think that turns some people off. so i think a once a week/monthly winner format would be great.

Well.......um......If that's the way you wanna do it, I suppose Myke and I can alternate weeks.....hmmmmm.....Y'know, I WAS starting to get stumped coming up with questions. LOL! Maybe this way my brain will have time to form some new ones. ;D
Here're the answers for yesterday's trivia. I know that no one PM'ed me, but I figure what the heck.
1. OUTATIME
2. Kaneda
3. Zuul.....Gozer was the one inside the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man!
4. Adamantium
5. Ornithopters
6. I call 'em Mind Control Worms. Basically that gross little worm creature that attached itself to their cerebellums. YUCK!
7. David Marcus
8. Executor
9. Constructing their own Light Saber.
10. "And have you noticed how your boobs are starting to firm up?" LOL!
Bonus: The United States had 13 Colonies when the Constitution was ratified. The Constitution Class of Starship also had 13 initial ships when the class was launched.
Not sure how we're proceeding from here, or if I should bother to keep score, but since no one PM'ed me, the scores are the same as yesterday if you're curious.
I await the Jedi Web Master's instructions on how to proceed. What is your bidding, My Master? LOL!

I like Wolf's idea, what do you guys think about that? If we go with once a week, should we raise it to 20 questions per week, or leave it at 10, or what? Whatever you guys think is best! ~Myke
