    The image I saw was "Which one is Sisko?" and then three characters displayed. I can think of many ways this could be coded poorly so we'll see if it's a select grouping of pre-defined images or if it dynamically pulls from any available crew (which is likely to be problematic).

    What if you have not watched DS9, you would maybe not have any idea who Sisko is. I would think that plenty of the younger audiences haven't watched DS9. I have been a Star Trek fan for quite a while but I only watched DS9 2 years ago.

    If you only have access to one device, you can't quit the game to search on Google because you might be flagged as a cheater when you didn't cheat. And okay for Sisko and other famous characters but what about some less famous characters? If I ask you every single character would you be 100% correct? Maybe but not everyone would be.

    You're really going to double-down on this one?
    1. Minimizing the app and bringing up the browser doesn't kill the game (at least it doesn't on my machine)
    2. Even if it DID kill the app, that wouldn't be the same as selecting the wrong one, it would just be killing the app
    3. While I obviously cannot prove this, I imagine they will be sticking to main cast or prominent characters. Of the screens I've seen so far, the most obscure character has been Guinan.
    4. If all else fails...Google

    Yes, I will because minimizing the app has killed it plenty of times for me on Android 7.

    And kills it on my ipad many times.

    On both of my Android devices, Just having my phone in sleep can be enough to trigger a reset.

    That said, as a developer, there's probably a given level of heruistics involved here; one or two incorrect responses or the app resetting are not likely things that would be flagged as suspicious; to me, it would probably have to be some very specific behavior I'd EXPECT to see from a script versus a very hapless user, over a good sample size of 'captcharacters' as I'll now call them.

    I will say that it elevates the challenge of getting around up; It's not an unsolvable problem in the modern age, but you're talking about some very specific skillsets to do so and a good bit of time to code around. And even then, that could be re-broken by mixing in other levels of difficulty. Things like picking Series-Lead ships.

    And Hey, since the theme of this week is full-on-dbrng-even-in-fixes, how about they give us 1500 credits for getting it right on the first try? Just enough that sure, it's annoying for us meatsacks, but we get something for our time and Trekognition.

    Hopefully no TAS or DIS questions, I will have no clue.

    I'm not sure I ever watched Enterprise (I was so burned out by Voyager), but I know every main cast member by name and image because of playing STT. I have only watched the DSC pilot (pay wall), but I have the same familiarity with the main cast.

    Until evidence is shown to the contrary, I can't image the choices will be anyone that isn't a main or frequent cast member. Guinan and Q, yes. Horta and Apollo, no.

    I could get some of them, but I'm with you. I don't do names well, so if I am not familiar with it, it could confuse me. That said, I have a great degree of confidence in my multiple choice ability and basic logic. I haven't yet played more than one build, but I think it sounds like a good thing.

    The only one i know is Sasha is some lady named Michael, but have no clue on any others, and I may or may not have some in my collection.
  • Are the smell and macho popups actually real?! How the hell would I know who is the most macho and who smells the best? What kind of nonsense is that?!
  • Just waiting for the posts saying that they were banned because they didn't know the answers to some ridiculous questions.

    Keep um coming Data, they're a welcome levity here.
  • The only problem I have with it is it showed up after launching into the event after 10 minutes, and I haven't seen it since.
    I want to become a Dilionaire...
  • Ha Ha Ha Ha LOVE IT!!!jxgnewvh670o.gif
  • This was a hard onebsd7m0zyv4pi.jpg

    Well thats tough...they all were the captain at some time in their careers', a more appropriate question would be who isnt the captain of the Enterprise and the correct answer is Kirk as he is an Admiral, not a captain? So Frank, who did you pick, and were you right?

    You guys are funny.

    I have played for a couple hours and have not had a pop up. I haven't on other events, either. Probably because I play only on the phone?
