Muz Ashen

Answer the question, correctly and first to gain a point.
Guess wrong and lose a point.
The person who has the highest score out of each set of ten will earn a Quartz crescent.
Win ten points in a row (the 10 consecutive points may span sets of questions)to win an Topaz Crescent.
Have the highest point total at the end of the comp to win a Legion of the Scholar.
(Medals are pending approval at the moment).
Questions will span topics from HMR/CNS character stuff to Star Wars Canon to other Sci-fi questions.
Have fun, and guess smart!
First Question!
What weapon did Kat Pridemore use oddly on Manji in an ACC training battle?
B22 Imperial Hold-out Blaster

Question 2)
What was Lenzar's post aboard the 'Fallen Spear' during the K'hamar'an War (the KRoS run-on)?

Lenzar was the tactical on the ship

Question 3)
What race was Jakual Gaiton Ordo (formerly Jack Ordo) before the Jakual Project made him more machine than man?

Question 4)
What do the symbols on Korras Aquillarum's custom sabre hilt mean?
Xizor
08-03-2005 12:57:53
That's HARD!
Muz Ashen
08-03-2005 13:00:07
no one said that they'd all be easy...
Besides, Korras is online right now...you may start the begging and pleading. Beowulf is also the dude who made it for him, so there's another person to bug...if you can find him.
*wanders off to bug her master*
he is AFK!
Xizor
08-03-2005 13:05:39
A hint, perhaps?
Xizor
08-03-2005 13:09:24
Bah, I'll try my luck.
Are they two Aurabeth symbols, meaning Seth (s) and Peth (p)?
Muz Ashen
08-03-2005 13:10:07
It's japanese...and something you don't want to call Manji, as he's likely to start swinging blades.
Korras
08-03-2005 13:19:38

RoriBeedm
08-03-2005 20:45:33
When Johnner, Christie and Call are watching the home shopping channel, one of the items on sale is a pearl handle, semi-automatic pistol, the very same one wielded by Vasquez in the previous installment 'Aliens'.

Hrmph. Since I'm now the Quaestor, I should probably reinstigate this thing... but I don't have Muz's encyclopaedic knowledge of Star Wars minutaie. Ah well.
We'll void the last question, and start the whole thing anew with this one.... (Note: They're all going to be ridiculously easy since I can't do tough ones
)
1.) How many 'sticky-up bits' did the Rebel shield generator on Hoth have?
(Don't laugh. It's my first try at doing Star Wars trivia.

Point Lech.
Next question... it's an evil one... (I hope ¬_¬)
8.) Where did the inspiration for the shape of Darth Vader's helmet come from?
I'll ban myself. Now that I got 6 out of 10...I win!!!
Unless Xhedias (apparently the only other member I'm competing with) gets stumped, I'll let "everyone" else get the answer to the rest of the questions. O-)
Xhedias
25-05-2005 08:41:58
A samurai helmet?
Konar
25-05-2005 08:46:11
Ralph McQuarrie's early drafts had Vader board Leia's captured starship by crossing the vacuum of space, a circumstance that necessitated a breathing apparatus - hence came the mask.
- That's all I can think of at any rate :/
Nekura Manji
25-05-2005 09:46:20
Point Xhedias, but...
Since Konar's obviously attained a new level of Star Wars nerd-dom through knowing that, I hereby give him a point as well.
Next question! Uh... oh, I know.
9.) What is the name of the capital city of Ralltiir?
Xhedias
25-05-2005 13:42:04

*sigh* Point Lech.
Right, that ends this round of questions... results:
Malik: 1
Lech: 7
Xhedias: 2
Konar: 1
So, to nobody's great surprise, Lech wins this round. ^_^ Now go and post in Operation: Frozen Fortress! The next round of questions will start as soon as I've sat down and thought up ten more fiendishly difficult questions, instead of just thinking them up on the spot X-)
Xhedias
26-05-2005 12:14:51
Should we have some kind of system so no one person is dominating every set of questions? That way other people, such as malik myself and maybe even slow konar can particpate more. Sorry lech
Nekura Manji
26-05-2005 16:21:50
Nah, it's first come first served. And, of course, you could just google/theforce.net the questions. ^_^ I'll try and think up some evil questions that even Lech can't answer.
Now go and post in the Frozen Fortress Operation! Or else! ^_^
Xhedias
26-05-2005 18:17:11
and that means...if lech cant get them, i cant

28-05-2005 05:34:15
Right... thanks to the irrepressible Xhedias coming up 20 more questions, the next round of 10 questions shall now begin!
Note 1: They're from the NJO, so Lech should have a hard time
Note 2: Xhedias won't be participating, since he came up with the questions.
That means the rest of you have a chance at snatching Legions of the Scholar! Let's go!
1.) What is the name of the living weapon that the Yuuzhan Vong use?
Well, according to the star wars databank, it says Amphistaff. So that's my answer.
silverRaven
28-05-2005 13:06:26
ampistaff.
Darn you lech your faster.
Nekura Manji
28-05-2005 13:33:56

Next question...
2.) What is the name of the throwing weapons of the Yuuzhan Vong?
silverRaven
28-05-2005 13:37:02
thudbugs
Nekura Manji
28-05-2005 14:42:32
Nope. But close... ^_^
silverRaven
28-05-2005 15:40:00
Also used in combat are thudbugs, small thrown insects that detonate on impact.
That was copied from the STAR WARS: databank. its thudbugs im sure.
silverRaven
28-05-2005 15:48:41
or is it thud bug with a space or coomb spores? count both of those as answers.
Nekura Manji
29-05-2005 04:41:02
This is why Manji shouldn't run trivia. Blame Xhed- his answer says razorbugs, but apparently they're the same thing. <_<
Point Raven!
Next question...
3.) Who makes Vong creatures?
I'll say their god: Yun-Yuuzhan
silverRaven
29-05-2005 15:18:38
The creator yun-yuuzhan
Nekura Manji
29-05-2005 16:37:40
Not what my answer says... *points at Xhedias if that's wrong*
silverRaven
29-05-2005 16:44:41
again my answer was from the starwars:database, dont see how its wrong.
Xhedias
29-05-2005 18:02:56
hey now, thats not wrong, think of it this way, what would you guys say if i asked who made your dog? you wouldnt say god...(i hope) but some of you would. so think about it a little more..(ITS NOT A GOD)
silverRaven
29-05-2005 19:21:12
their mother and father. That better?(i feel so stupid)
Nekura Manji
30-05-2005 05:39:58
Xhed, where on earth did you get these answers from? <_<
well the shapers create the technology. Maybe that's what you are asking for?
Xhedias
30-05-2005 10:54:25
they arent wrong manji, you just have to THINK outside the box...stupid ass google..blaming me for wrong answers and sheiBe
silverRaven
30-05-2005 11:09:38
So did one of us get the pooint or not??
Kat Pridemore
30-05-2005 12:10:55
Are we referring to the writers? Like George Lucas and RA Salvatore?
Kat
Nekura Manji
30-05-2005 14:57:04

So... yeah. Next question...
4.) What does Jaina Solo call herself?
silverRaven
30-05-2005 16:19:19
Darnet! I have no stinking idea
Nekura Manji
31-05-2005 06:14:10
Keep guessing... well, according to Xhed's answer. X-)
Anonymous
31-05-2005 11:27:26
Hrm..Jaya?
(Or as what you want is what she calls herself, how about I, me or myself?
)
Nekura Manji
31-05-2005 12:29:10
Nope... keep trying.
silverRaven
31-05-2005 12:38:44
Godess? Great one?
Xhedias
31-05-2005 14:18:25
lol, theres multiple answers, but one specific one that I was looking for. Just have to guess the right one, remeber, Jaina Solo was a VERY main character in the book, theres bunches of stuff on her.
Nekura Manji
01-06-2005 02:43:39
It would probably be better if the question was changed to 'What name has Jaina Solo been given?' since it wasn't what she called herself.
Xhedias
01-06-2005 07:00:14
MAN KILLER!
i mean..
Organa either that or Goddess or Great One
Nekura Manji
01-06-2005 09:38:51
Nope. X-)
silverRaven
01-06-2005 13:26:59
sticks?
silverRaven
01-06-2005 13:31:18
Are you sure its not godess or Great One?
Xhedias
01-06-2005 13:39:56
its defantly not the goddess or great one...dont think a yuuzhan vong title..there was one other one...
silverRaven
01-06-2005 14:08:22
sticks is the only other one she was called
Xhedias
01-06-2005 14:12:38
Many Jedi of the new Academy were frightful/upset for/with her because of this.
silverRaven
01-06-2005 14:57:55
sith, yun-harla??
Yun-Harla the trickster goddess
Xhedias
01-06-2005 15:23:27
NOT a yuuzhan vong title/name
Nekura Manji
01-06-2005 15:27:10
Another clue: Luke Skywalker gave her this title.
silverRaven
01-06-2005 19:47:45
Blade/sword of the Jedi
silverRaven
01-06-2005 20:11:45
sword of the jedi
I'm gonna have to give up on this one...i'm stumped.
Why did I tell them to ask questions from the NJO? Lech thinks to himself.
Nekura Manji
02-06-2005 09:46:25
Point Raven! Finally...
Anyway. Next question!
5.) What are the vulnerable spots of the Vong armour?
Konar
02-06-2005 10:04:38
It's in the armpit.

Point Lenzar
Next question...
7.) Who diseases Mara Jade?
Xizor
03-06-2005 05:58:56
Can't we please have SOME questions NOT from the EU?
Nekura Manji
03-06-2005 09:26:04
Point Lech
And Xi, this is a round of EU questions- the first round I did were mostly from the films. This is because Lech was completely PWNING the standard trivia, so to give other people an improved chance Xhed did some questions from the EU- which, apparently, Lech is weaker on. After this round I'll try and think of some more trivia from the films.
Next question...
8.) What injuries does Leia Organa-Solo get on Duros?
She badly bruised her legs
Nekura Manji
03-06-2005 15:29:06
Nope, not just bruises.
severs them?
EDIT: We should do this like Jeopardy. Answer in the form of a question and you give us the answer to work with. :w00t: (I included this face just because I think it's funny everytime I look at it.
EDIT, EDIT: No wait...she paralyizes them?
Nekura Manji
03-06-2005 17:47:28
Keep trying....
(And no, that would make it even more difficult/frustrating than it is already X-))
Macron Sadow
04-06-2005 11:32:00
they get broken?
Nekura Manji
04-06-2005 13:10:35
Nope. Continue trying....
silverRaven
04-06-2005 16:38:57
she was tortured by the yuuzhan voong, im still searching here...darn this one is hard
Xhedias
04-06-2005 21:22:28
MRAH!
silverRaven
05-06-2005 15:56:07
it was poisoned and/or burned.(please be right, please be right...)
silverRaven
05-06-2005 15:58:11
her leg got infected, and was amputated because of poisoning. but it was healed by Jacen solo.
And sorry bout the double post
Nekura Manji
05-06-2005 16:01:32
Nobody's mentioned the simplest injury that it's possible to get yet.
Xhedias
05-06-2005 16:02:13
Your correct that Jacen kept her alive, but thats not what i asked
silverRaven
05-06-2005 16:04:12
sprained/ broken because of poisoning?
Anonymous
05-06-2005 16:04:55
The blood flow to her legs were cut off by some sort of squeezing creature. It caused her legs to be badly paralyzed.
Nekura Manji
05-06-2005 16:05:16
Nope. Simpler than that.
silverRaven
05-06-2005 16:07:23
ah ha!
she was unconsious because of poisoning!
Nekura Manji
05-06-2005 16:18:57
You're so far off track that you're going the opposite way on a train heading for Alaska. Forget about the poisoning. ^_^
silverRaven
05-06-2005 16:26:13
then she was knocked out
Nekura Manji
05-06-2005 16:28:38
Worse than that.
silverRaven
05-06-2005 18:17:47
A coma?
Xhedias
05-06-2005 18:49:54
Nope, not quite that bad.
silverRaven
05-06-2005 18:51:58
well its worse than unconcious but not as bad as a coma. nothing is inbetween!
wait maybe its paralyzed?
or is it fainted?
Kat Pridemore
05-06-2005 20:46:28
Um... I don't really know, but the only in the middle I see is just cuts.
She got cuts on her legs....
Kat Pridemore
silverRaven
05-06-2005 21:03:53
badly scarred and partly bled to death.
Nekura Manji
06-06-2005 07:30:00
I'm going to give you both a point since Kat got the gist of it then Raven elaborated. So-
Point Kat and Raven!
Next question...
9.) How does Ithor get destroyed?
The Yuuzhan Vong poisoned their planet with biological weapons
Nekura Manji
06-06-2005 09:55:02
Point Lech.
Next question...
10.) What is the planet of the prophecy?
silverRaven
06-06-2005 12:11:08
its Zonama Sekot.
I'm going to kill you lech.
Nekura Manji
06-06-2005 15:25:15
Heheh... I'm going to be picky and ask you to spell it properly so Raven has a chance
Nekura Manji
06-06-2005 15:58:54
Urgh. Apparently it is actually spelled Zonama Sekot. Xhed, why do we keep you around?
So...
Point Lech!
That means that the final scores for this round are as follows:
Lech: 4
Raven: 3
Konar: 1
Lenzar: 1
Kat: 1
Which means that Lech once again wins by a miniscule margin. The next round of questions will be 'normal' ones around the films, while the round after that will be Xhed's NJO questions again. Give me a couple of days to get some questions down and the competition will continue. ^_^
Xhedias
06-06-2005 16:24:27
I dont know, ask Xanos why he didnt prep the plane yet...
Nekura Manji
18-06-2005 11:43:23
Okay, ladies and gents... the next round shall now begin. All of you remain poised so that you can defeat Lech, the reigning trivia champion ^_^
Note: they'll all be pretty easy since I suck at hard trivia.
1.) How did the crew of the Millenium Falcon evade an Imperial sensor crew?
Macron Sadow
18-06-2005 12:26:30
by hiding in the garbage when they dumped it
Nekura Manji
18-06-2005 12:37:00
Nope... guess again. ^_^
Macron Sadow
18-06-2005 12:43:20

Nope, try again. ^_^
Shinichi Endymiron K
18-06-2005 19:01:04
By shutting down all non-essential power and attaching themselves to the back end of the bridge section of the Star Destroyer.
Macron Sadow
18-06-2005 19:16:54
By smacking Luke upside the head with a greasy trout
Xhedias
19-06-2005 14:22:37
By remaining quiet so none of the pings woould go back to the imperials, making them invisible to radar
silverRaven
19-06-2005 18:56:32
What Tharivol said. the attached theselves to the command tower and shut down all unnesccisary systems so the Falcon appeared to be part of the star destroyer.
Konar
20-06-2005 03:11:55
Solo has extra comparments for storage in the inner floor of the Milenium Falcon. When the Imperials boarded, they couldn't find them as they had hidden in the compartments.
Nekura Manji
20-06-2005 03:17:32
Point Konar!
Dudes, the Imperial sensor crew was the one that carried a big box thing on board the Falcon when it landed in the Death Star. ^_^
Next question...
Which planet did Anakin and Obi-Wan duel on?
Konar
20-06-2005 07:11:12
Mustafar
Nekura Manji
20-06-2005 11:08:30
Point Konar!
Next question...
3.) Name one of the institutions that was convinced to support the Seperatists.
silverRaven
20-06-2005 15:17:59
Which one ? I'll say techno union, IG banking clan if you want two.
Or is it the people? S ill add Nute Gunray as a possible answer.
Nekura Manji
20-06-2005 16:45:44
Point Raven!

4.) Name the Ewok whom Leia befriended.
silverRaven

-.-
Nekura Manji
21-06-2005 10:59:25
Point Link and Raven
Since Link got in first but Raven got the middle name as well, I'll give you both a point. Next question!
5.) Who was the Imperial officer Force-choked by Darth Vader for "failing" him?
silverRaven
21-06-2005 11:30:43
Admiral Azule.(not sure how its spelled.)
Or is it Captain Nadir? he killed him too.
Nekura Manji
21-06-2005 12:35:43
Check the spelling and try again.
silverRaven
21-06-2005 12:48:54
Admiral Azul?
Adzul?
You better gimme this point
Anonymous
21-06-2005 15:34:45
Damn my brother...
Xhedias
21-06-2005 15:36:23
Admiral Motti was force choked in the board room cuz he talked [Expletive Deleted] about vader. In a sense that is failing him?
Nekura Manji
21-06-2005 15:52:23
Nope... think about why it's in quote marks. ^_^
And Raven... keep trying. You're painfully close, but I'm going to insist on something that looks remotely like the name I've got down
Shinichi Endymiron K
21-06-2005 16:20:25
Admiral Ozzel
Xhedias
21-06-2005 16:26:08
We get points for answering the question right even though someone said it before me? I didnt know that...
silverRaven
21-06-2005 17:04:44
Admiral Ozzel.
Or is it Ozzul?
No point for me..but if you want the full name of that guy...Kendal Ozzel
silverRaven
21-06-2005 18:32:46
Anonymous
21-06-2005 19:47:47
I believe it was Captain Lorth Needa.
Xhedias
21-06-2005 21:50:45
Kendal Ozzel?
Nekura Manji
22-06-2005 12:52:07
It was in fact Ozzel, in the famous scene:
"You have failed me for the last time, Admiral." /Force choke
Sooo... Point Tharivol and Raven!
Because Raven was painfully close, it would be kinda harsh not to give him a point. And Xhed- explain to me how Azule looks anything like Ozzel? :blink:
Next question!
6.) Why did Yoda initially refuse to train Luke?
Xhedias
22-06-2005 12:53:31
He was to old
silverRaven
22-06-2005 12:57:32
Many reasons-Too old(like anikin(i cant spell)), Reckless, Not paying attention to WHERE HE WAS, WHAT HE WAS DOING!
Nekura Manji
22-06-2005 13:31:50
I'm thinking of a specific quote, really.
Xhedias
22-06-2005 13:42:02
Yoda : "He is too old. Yes, too old to begin the training."
silverRaven
22-06-2005 15:39:51
He is too old. Yes, too old to begin the training
Anonymous
22-06-2005 15:45:21
He was too old and didnt have any patience.
Nekura Manji
23-06-2005 05:21:07
Hrn? In the film I've got it has Yoda saying: "I cannot teach him. The boy is impatient." Ah yes. There's more than one reason, which you picked up on. Stupid Manji.
Uhm...
Point Xhedias!
By a margin of four minutes. Next question (nice and easy):
7.) How did Luke escape Darth Vader on Bespin?
Konar
23-06-2005 05:30:24
He released his hold of an outside platform in one of bespin's many air vents. He naturally fell through a hole and ended up being thrown onto a metal stucture below cloud city due to the force of his fall (presumably a garbage shoot).
- He was engaged in combat, Vader's chopped his hand off, he let go - circumstance of escape.
Xhedias
23-06-2005 10:59:45
What konar said.
Nekura Manji
23-06-2005 11:13:53
Point Konar!
Next question:
8.) What did Luke want to go into town to pick up?
silverRaven

Beru Lars
Nekura Manji
23-06-2005 16:22:39
Point Tharivol!
Next question...
10.) Where did Han Solo obtain the Millenium Falcon?
Shinichi Endymiron K
23-06-2005 16:27:21
Solo won it in a sabacc game against Lando Calrissian.
Nekura Manji
23-06-2005 16:33:13
Point Tharivol!
Okay... that ends that round. And the scores are:
Konar: 3
Raven: 4-- Winner
Link: 1
Tharivol: 3
Xhedias: 1
Which makes Raven the winner. Congrats! The next round will begin in a few days. ^_^
Congrats Raven! Way to represent the Night Hawks!
silverRaven
23-06-2005 17:41:23
w00t!!! YES! *bows*
Lech, next time give me a challenge.
Xhedias
24-06-2005 14:04:01
Great job raven....lets see how the next set of quesions come out >:)
silverRaven
24-06-2005 14:54:49
Well I've been reading the NJO books, I'm on blance point (thats book 6 out of 20), I really gonna try and get two wins in a row.
Shinichi Endymiron K
24-06-2005 15:51:02
Good Luck. I may actually try and compete now. Before I was just like "heh questions...ok" But now I'll actually check in.
Konar
26-06-2005 07:35:40
I'm gonna quit if I'm up against geeks
.
- then naturally I'll come over to both of your houses and burn all your Star Wars books so I can still earn points in this game
.
- and no, this doesn't mean I'm
desperate, it means I'm
modestly motivated
.
Shinichi Endymiron K
26-06-2005 11:22:15
Riiiiiiiiiiiiight
silverRaven

YOU SHALL NEVER TOUCH MY LIBRARY!
Macron Sadow
29-06-2005 09:05:24
All the blasted questions get answered when I'm at work anyhow... bah.
Shinichi Endymiron K
29-06-2005 09:29:51
Speaking of...when are we going to have more questions?
silverRaven
29-06-2005 12:39:38
Soon. We are waiting on YOU Xhed.
Xhedias
29-06-2005 12:46:21
No we aren't, so watch your mouth. Go poke manji and tell him to put his man beating stick down.
Nekura Manji
29-06-2005 15:20:21
Shaddap all of you.
THE NEXT ROUND SHALL BEGIN!!
1.) What is the difference between Zenoma and Sekot?
Shinichi Endymiron K
29-06-2005 15:25:08
Besides the fact that it's spelled Zonama Sekot? Zonama is the planet, Sekot is the humanoid interface that controls the planet.
Nekura Manji
30-06-2005 13:38:28
Works for me. And blame Xhed for the spelling. In fact, blame Xhed for everything, it's more fun. ^_^
Point Tharivol!
Next question...
2.) Who is the Supreme Overlord?
Xhedias
30-06-2005 13:54:35
Yea, blame me...sounds familiar...
Shinichi Endymiron K
30-06-2005 21:15:51
Onimi
Konar
30-06-2005 23:21:42
Supreme Overlord Shimrra but he becomes Yuuzhan'tar.
Macron Sadow
30-06-2005 23:51:17
A big fat stubby ale
Shinichi Endymiron K
01-07-2005 02:27:21
No it's Onimi. When Shimrra is killed the Vong feel nothing. It isn't until Onimi, who can use the force and controls Shimrra's mind, is killed that the Vong feel his death and the Worldship begins to die.
Nekura Manji
02-07-2005 13:15:21
My answer says Shimmra... Xhed, care to step in and get beaten?
Shinichi Endymiron K
02-07-2005 13:52:15
It's in the end of the Unifying Force. Shimrra was just a puppet of Onimi.
silverRaven
02-07-2005 14:04:18
ITS SHIMRRA I JUST READ IT!
And how dare you start without me! ( I had to go to grannies to use her computer X-) )
Xhedias
02-07-2005 15:19:33
Since the question was already answered with the two possible answers. Think of it this way, if the mob control President Bush who would be the president? Bush, cuz he has the overall capablity to make descions or the mob to put pressure on him to make the descions they want. It would be Bush cuz the is the "official" figure.
silverRaven
02-07-2005 15:31:51
Exactly. Although Onimi controls Shimrra, Shimrra is the official figure. Now give me the point already.
Shinichi Endymiron K
02-07-2005 21:29:16
It wasn't a mob. It was one person. And he didn't control Shimrra by convincing him to do things he directly controled his mind. Therefor he was in fact the actual Supreme Overlord. Shimrra just held the title. Anyway I think we should both get a point.
Xhedias
02-07-2005 22:39:47
And Im making a point, that the person that sits on the throne has the power, wether being controlled or not, the answer stands
Shinichi Endymiron K
03-07-2005 02:14:36
It's wrong.
silverRaven
03-07-2005 09:24:43
From a certain point of veiw. (remember what obi-wan said its true in real life too)
Shinichi Endymiron K
03-07-2005 11:33:00
Like I said I think we both should get the point since we're both right.
Nekura Manji
03-07-2005 12:40:51
*rains down fire to stop the bickering*
Now that you're all charred wrecks of your former selves, I shall bring judgement.
Point Lech (for getting the answer first) and point Tharivol (for an extremely convincing explanation of his answer). There. Settled. NEXT QUESTION!
3.) What identity does Nom Anor take?
silverRaven
03-07-2005 13:35:43
He takes one as Pedric Cuf, and also takes on the identity Dr. Dassid Cree'Ar. Bth of them are Nom Anor, though Pedric Cuf is used more.
Shinichi Endymiron K
03-07-2005 14:45:51
He takes the Identity of the Yuuzhan Vong prophet Yu'Shaa.
Nekura Manji
04-07-2005 11:20:25
Point Tharivol.
Next question...
4.) What weapon did Jacen and Anakin debate on using?
silverRaven
04-07-2005 11:34:12
HE GOT IT???
its Centerpoint Station.
Shinichi Endymiron K
04-07-2005 11:41:13
Yeah it's Centerpoint.
Also they debated about the Force. Anakin thought it was a tool and a weapon to be used whenever, Jacen was more passive and believed that using the force as a weapon would lead to the dark side.
silverRaven
04-07-2005 12:28:57
Yea they did debate about the force too.
Nekura Manji
05-07-2005 03:27:07
Point Raven!
Next question...
5.) At the battle of Fondor, 3/4 of a fleet was destroyed. Whose was it?
Nekura Manji
05-07-2005 10:49:35
Point Lech!
Next question...
6.) What is the name of the creature used to assault space ships?
Shinichi Endymiron K
05-07-2005 13:04:36
Dovin Bassals don't assault anything. They are used as shields, and as a propulsion device.
The weapon is the Grutchin which tears through the hull of a ship and kills its crew.
Bad guess
Shinichi Endymiron K
05-07-2005 14:59:58
silverRaven
05-07-2005 17:03:48
Thar's rigtht its gruntchins.
Or is it those plasma guns?
Shinichi Endymiron K
05-07-2005 18:28:13
I'm guessing because he said assault and not attack that it's the Grutchins. That and they never did name the volcano gun thingies.
Nekura Manji
07-07-2005 03:27:31
Point Tharivol.
Next question...
7.) What did Yuuzhan Vong ships resemble?
Well I know that the Koros-Strohna World Ship resembles the Galaxy, so I'm gonna say they resemble the Galaxy.
Shinichi Endymiron K
07-07-2005 10:17:33
World ships look like miniature galaxies, but the Kor Chokk Grand Cruiser resembles some sort of massive war tower.
Nekura Manji
07-07-2005 16:11:52
I'm guessing he wants just normal Yuuzhan Vong ships, not big grand-ass cruisers ^_^ So what do the normal ships look like?
Shinichi Endymiron K
07-07-2005 16:59:41
Well Tsik-Seru and Tsik-Vai Fighters look like Manta Rays.
silverRaven
07-07-2005 21:01:14
Umm, coralskippers look like rocks. The worldships and grand warships are bigger rocks with long porus arms.
Shinichi Endymiron K
07-07-2005 23:04:42
I'm thinking 3 points need awarded here because of the ambiguity of the question.
Nekura Manji
08-07-2005 12:03:39
Blame Xhed for the ambiguity of the question- remember, I didn't write them.
Asteroids was the answer I was looking for... Raven got the closest, so I'm hereby awarding him the point. Because he'll moan if I don't.
So...
Point Raven!
Next question...
8.) What is the substance that is put into slaves to keep them under control?
Spears
08-07-2005 12:34:27
Around the Shadow Academy we like to call it Powdered Jelly Donuts.
Nothing beats fresh donuts to keep the slaves in line.
Shinichi Endymiron K
08-07-2005 15:33:32
Coral Seeds
silverRaven
08-07-2005 21:11:24
Coomb Spores?
Or Yorik Coral?
Nekura Manji
09-07-2005 08:16:02
Think of the word that describes those things Mandalorians stick in themselves and you've got it.
Shinichi Endymiron K
09-07-2005 10:46:29
Microbes?
silverRaven
09-07-2005 16:45:02
oh, its implants. duh.
Shinichi Endymiron K
09-07-2005 23:17:44
Implants aren't a substance; they're a thing. In this case the Coral Seeds are the substance of the implant, and obviously if they're "put into" someone they're an implant.
Substance: the stuff of which an object consists.
Implant: an organ, tissue, or device surgically inserted and left in the body.
silverRaven
09-07-2005 23:24:43
I think we should both just get a point.
Nekura Manji
10-07-2005 04:52:45
Sure, why not.
Point Tharivol and Raven!
Next question...
9.) What piece of "technology" is used to fly a Yuuzhan Vong ship?
Macron Sadow
10-07-2005 08:46:30
Happy Juice
silverRaven
10-07-2005 13:28:05
Dovin Basal's propel the ship, as well as provide sheilds and manuvering.
Shinichi Endymiron K
10-07-2005 14:12:30
Didn't I say that earlier in this thread?
Nekura Manji
11-07-2005 12:27:39
As I recall, you mentioned Dovin Basals as creatures- I'm looking for a specific piece of technology. Something the pilot uses to control/fly the ship.
silverRaven
11-07-2005 17:12:41
umm, a masquerer?
Shinichi Endymiron K
11-07-2005 20:10:05
It's a cognition hood
silverRaven
11-07-2005 20:28:57

Point Kat!
So, without more ado, the final scores for this round are as follows:
Tharivol: 6--> Winner!
Lech: 2
Raven: 3
Kat 1:
Which makes Tharivol the winner! Congrats, dude. The LSS will be in your inbox as soon as Khan gets round to it (as well yours, Xhed) and the next round of questions will begin some time in the future when I can think of some. Which might be a while. X-)
How bout you make a competition within a competition?
You could make a competition for us to make up questions for the Quaestor's Questions. When you choose which questions you like best, you use them in this forum while the person who won has to sit out of the Quaestor's Questions comp.
Does that make sense? If not, I'll try to explain it better.

That does make sense... sweet idea, Lech. Right, you heard the man- everyone wrack your brains and come up with questions for lazy Manji

Heres a question,
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
I have pondered on this enigma far too long!

There's a really classic reply to that question from one of the Monkey Island games and for the life of me I can't remember what it is.
