Omber Zombie	Posted - 2004.04.01 08:14:00 - [3] that stupid film with emelio estevez? ----------- "Remember people: Omber is the biggest evil ever created, DO NOT let it get to you!" Waagaa Ktlehr, BDCI I have a blog

Lomex	Posted - 2004.04.01 11:25:00 - [6] Edited by: Lomex on 01/04/2004 11:26:28 Well I know you're a star wars fan but I can't think of a single serious racing injury. Ep1 was too cutesy to have a serious injury during the pod races, and I haven't read any of the books from that era (mitterchlorien drivel). So now all I've left in my mind at the moment is that damn film with Estervez. so my answer is Alex Furlong, played by Estervez in the film Freejack. oh, and as you might have noticed, I'm still here. Don't worry I'm just winding down :D edit - nuts, you went and posted another clue while I was typing :( - edit ___________________________________________ Join in the NEW Sci-Fi Quiz

Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.04.01 15:00:00 - [8] Hey Lomex, nice to 'see' you Well yes I am a SW fan but I do watch and read some other stuff too, not saying it's not from SW not saying it is As for the clues, if I have another round ready in my head or better on paper, I'll just dump clues more often (eg twice per day) So no real fixed hour when it will happen. As from where, well the same as before: books, films, series Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'
Chaon	Posted - 2004.04.02 04:53:00 - [9] Hmmmm. How about Death Race 2000? Name of the actor escapes me atm.
Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.04.02 06:43:00 - [10] clue three: recklessly hating one man Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'

Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.04.04 07:01:00 - [16] clue five: has only few emotions left: rage, hope, loneliness didn't think this one would be so tough, but this clue should help alot Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'
Admiral IceBlock	Posted - 2004.04.04 12:17:00 - [17] Terminator? "We brake for nobody"
AtoningUnifex	Posted - 2004.04.05 10:41:00 - [18] That would have to be Dengar. I suspect this has taken time since the lifestory of Dengar was only revealed in 1 book - Tales of the Bounty Hunters (and possibly on a collectable trading card). So while many players of EVE will have seen the Star Wars films, considerably less will have read the expanded SW universe books. ------------------------ Collector and flyer of starships
Lomex	Posted - 2004.04.05 11:01:00 - [19] hehehe, I KNEW it was star wars. I was racking my brain through umpteen dozens of bit characters. I forgot Dengar, who rather shamefully was my favorite action figure when I was growing up. And I disagree that it was too hard. Whats difficult to some is easy to others, now if only more people played ___________________________________________ Join in the NEW Sci-Fi Quiz
Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.04.05 11:04:00 - [20] Correct AntoniUnifex. It was Dengar. As I said you can have the next round , if you don't want to, tell me and I'll make another. Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'
AtoningUnifex	Posted - 2004.04.05 11:36:00 - [21] If you've got another one ready to roll, go for it... I've been trying to think of one when I really should be working, and I've not come up with anything suitable so far. ------------------------ Collector and flyer of starships

Rattman	Posted - 2004.04.07 08:57:00 - [38] Quote: Babylon 5? Damn someone did the math 8Km = 5 miles long "The Babylon project was our last best hope for peace. A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space, all alone in the night. It was the dawn of the third age of mankind, the year the great war came upon us all. This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2261, the name of the place is Babylon 5." All opinions, rambling or not, expressed here are my own and not that of my corp or alliance

Drac Dragnog	Posted - 2004.04.08 17:16:00 - [48] Edited by: Drac Dragnog on 08/04/2004 17:18:40 Dont remember the name of it but it was used in some flic I saw on Sci Fi, it has to do with a supercharged pulse into the core of a planet throwing the rotational spin of billions of gallons of magma into a anti rotation / stop it. then in turn starts to cool and expand, and of course theres the explosive nature of rock expanding at a large rate. is that it? Otherwise my mone3y is on a Naquida Reactor Disclaimer Random Babble is quite possible

AtoningUnifex	Posted - 2004.04.08 18:46:00 - [50] Well I should have thought of a more subtle clue... Valisk is correct, it was Bomb no. 20 from Dark Star. So who's up next then? ------------------------ Collector and flyer of starships

Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.13 08:40:00 - [59] The mention of 'games' in a sci-fi context brings a certain book to mind... Could it be: Azad ? DAB Eve Division
Phoenix Pryde	Posted - 2004.04.13 19:11:00 - [60] nope, but then i guess the 1st clue offers a lot of answers =) clue two: five houses, five arenas (hope its not too easy now ) XTECH t2 sales: www.ii-inc.org/xtech
Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.04.13 19:27:00 - [61] Well I think it's the world of Battletech, that planet where Mechwarriors face each other in diferent arenas. But I can0t for the love of god remember it's name Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'
Inm8	Posted - 2004.04.15 02:21:00 - [62] worlds name is Solaris based in the Lyran Alliance Owner of a Lonely Heart

NAFnist	Posted - 2004.04.16 07:13:00 - [64] Since no reply i will come with a clue. 'the future is seen in math' should be easy _____________
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.16 12:54:00 - [65] Quote: 'the future is seen in math' Bring two possibilities to mind: The obvious one -> Azimov's Foundation Series Less obvious -> Steve Perry's Matadore Series
NAFnist	Posted - 2004.04.16 19:33:00 - [66] Too obvious, i know You are right _____________
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.16 23:08:00 - [67] Okay - tougher one Clue one: Unattached yet Married
NAFnist	Posted - 2004.04.17 04:12:00 - [68] The doctor in Star Trek: Enterprise. Flox the name is, me thinks. _____________

Geller	Posted - 2004.04.17 08:22:00 - [70] Sorry.. not on right lines yet. 2 clues together. Clue 2: Last in a line of 40,000 years of selective breeding. Clue 3: Originally a written work (although now in other media).
Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.04.17 09:07:00 - [71] Paul Atredies, from Dune, or Children of Dune. I don't know if he was married allready in Dune. Oh yeah, then allready called Muad'Dib (I hope I spelled that right) Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.17 23:55:00 - [72] Quote: Paul Atredies, from Dune, or Children of Dune. I don't know if he was married allready in Dune. Oh yeah, then allready called Muad'Dib (I hope I spelled that right) No - although I can see how you might try that. I dont think the Benegeserit training program wa that long in Dune, but it might have been - long time since I read it. Two more clues Clue 4: Second Stage Clue 5: Law Enforcer
Sabahl	Posted - 2004.04.18 06:28:00 - [73] Tiir Anastazi?
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.19 07:55:00 - [74] No-ones got it yet so yet another clue. I'm hoping this one should be easy enough: Clue 6: Barer of the Lens.
Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.19 08:46:00 - [75] Well, I know EE 'Doc' Smith wrote the "Lensman" series of books - including "Second Stage Lensman" but never having read any of them, this is just a guess: Lensman ? DAB Eve Division
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.19 09:50:00 - [76] Quote: Well, I know EE 'Doc' Smith wrote the "Lensman" series of books - including "Second Stage Lensman" but never having read any of them, this is just a guess: Lensman ? Close enough. The Lensmen series refers to lots of Lensmen, I was hoping for one in particular, but you've go the right series, and aren't far from the main character. The correct answer is: Kimball Kinnison from E.E. "Doc" Smith's Lensman series The Lensman books are well worth reading, if only to get a historic perspective on Science Fiction. He's one of those authors, along with Asimov, Pohl, Blish, Niven, Banks and Gibson that I feel every Sci-fi fan should read at least a little of. If you do read them though, read them in the orderthey were written, not the order they no seem to publish them in - i.e. Start with Galactic Patrol and work forwards. Triplanetary and First Lensman were written later as Prequels and work best if you are familiar with what comes after. Cheers, Geller
Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.20 09:22:00 - [77] Edited by: Valisk on 20/04/2004 09:24:31 I'll have to give them a go, I've heard plenty of good things about them... (I think you could have held out for the full 'Kimball Kinnison' answer though, people round here know thier sci-fi!) Ok then, I guess it's question time, so here we go Round 10, Clue 1: Travels through time. DAB Eve Division
Grathar	Posted - 2004.04.20 15:24:00 - [78] Doctor Who?
Bad Harlequin	Posted - 2004.04.20 15:41:00 - [79] everything travels thru time. most just maintain a single course heading ...btw, i thought the "bomb 20" fella was taking the ****, darn it all. i haven't read that book in ages, but iirc the movie was on cable a year or two ago out here... but cheers to him as i probably would've gotten the number wrong You are in a maze of twisty little asteroids, all alike.
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.21 08:06:00 - [80] Edited by: Geller on 21/04/2004 08:08:09 Edited by: Geller on 21/04/2004 08:07:32 Originally by: Valisk Round 10, Clue 1: Travels through time. Nice starting question - it leaves so many possibilities :-) As stated, the Doctor is the obvious answer, but lets go out on a limb with some oddball film suggestions, since I know the second clue is bound to rule these out and I can't resist offering them as suggestions: Ash (Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness) The Connecticut Yankee Donnie Darko Cheers, Geller
Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.21 09:07:00 - [81] Originally by: Bad Harlequin everything travels thru time. most just maintain a single course heading Very true , and that leads us nicely to the next clue which is: Travels through time, in one direction: Backwards! DAB Eve Division
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.21 11:06:00 - [82] Hmm.. Time from Incarnations of Immortality by Pier Anthony or Merlin from Mort d'Aurthur (or any other source of Authurian legends)
LordSharpe	Posted - 2004.04.21 12:04:00 - [83] Hmm Michael J Fox in the Back to the future movies haha

Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.21 16:10:00 - [86] Round 10, clue 3: Located in a valley. DAB Eve Division
Omber Zombie	Posted - 2004.04.22 06:37:00 - [87] I'd say The Land that Time Forgot, but that's not really right, so I'm going with that lovely episode of Red Dwarf called Backwards and the lovely city of nodnoL :) ----------- "Remember people: Omber is the biggest evil ever created, DO NOT let it get to you!" Waagaa Ktlehr, BDCI I have a blog
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.22 08:06:00 - [88] I'll have to go with The Time Tombs on Hyperion (from Hyperion by Dan Simmons). Cheers, Geller
Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.22 08:37:00 - [89] Congrats Geller! You are the winner! The answer is: The Time Tombs from Dan Symmons 'Hyperion' series. So... You're on next.... DAB Eve Division

Virgil Samms	Posted - 2004.04.25 06:33:00 - [95] hmmm...Sounds like Data from Star Trek to me

Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.26 16:02:00 - [101] Sorry about the delay... the people who I work for were being unreasonable and actually insisting I do something! Umm ok Darkii, I'll try and come up with a Geller proof question Round 12 - Clue 1: Former envoy DAB Eve Division
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.27 09:03:00 - [102] Originally by: Valisk Umm ok Darkii, I'll try and come up with a Geller proof question Seems to be working so far. I'll have a guess but I'm fairly doubtful about it. Is it Takeshi Kovacs from Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan
Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.27 09:56:00 - [103] Round 12, over in the blink of an eye.... Did you know that one, or did you Google it? I just checked "Former Envoy Sci Fi" and it was the first ten returns... I didn't check ... Either way, congrats Geller, you are correct! DAB Eve Division
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.27 10:22:00 - [104] Edited by: Geller on 27/04/2004 14:35:33 Edited by: Geller on 27/04/2004 14:32:54 Edited by: Geller on 27/04/2004 10:38:04 Originally by: Valisk Did you know that one, or did you Google it? Its on my book shelf under - things to read. There are quit a few books in that category at the moment; as a matter of fact most of the books on shelves are in that category ( or the favourites category). Most books I've read have now been religated to waterproof plastic boxes in the attic. Hopefully some day I'll have enough shelf space to display everything. I've just finished reading Ender's Game (Swift's Recommendation), but I've got the other 3 books in the Ender saga to read (and then I'll probably read the Enders Shadow books). After that I was planning to read Utopia and Altered Carbon. There is also some Fredrick Phol I plan to read very soon since I've just reread Gateway and I've never read the sequels. I was really dubious when I answered because all I know about the book is on the back cover. As a matter of fact I had to go to Amazon to check the name of the character. For some reason Google didn't occur to me. Hmm.. just spoit my next question ... Ender is too obvious now that I've mentioned him.. will have to pick something else... Okay, thinking about things I plan to reread reminded me of a particular series. Question 13?, Clue 1: Wandering Jew By the way - knowing that there is someone reading this trhread with the alias of Virgil Samms, I am now really annoyed I din't hold out for Kimball Kinnison. I can guarentee that Virgil would have got it. After all, Virgil was Kimball's great great grandfather, or at least direct line male ancestor.
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.27 14:50:00 - [105] Originally by: Geller After all, Virgil was Kimball's great great grandfather, or at least direct line male ancestor. Appologies to all Lensman fans for this of fuzzy thinking. Kimball is of course Rod Kinnison's direct line decendant. Kimballs Wife Clarissa is decended from Virgil Samms. I don't know what I was thinking.
Drac Dragnog	Posted - 2004.04.27 18:12:00 - [106] Originally by: Geller Question 13?, Clue 1: Wandering Jew Hmm "death of a salesman" comes to mind, but thats a drama... And Im not shure why it does... Must be in the left field today... Disclaimer Random Babble is quite possible
Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.04.27 19:30:00 - [107] Hmmm, nothing from the sci-fi department comes to mind, you sure it's from the right category Geller? Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.27 23:27:00 - [108] Definately Sci-Fi Clue 2: Immortal Creator (if you can believe him)
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.28 15:15:00 - [109] I guess it must be time for another clue. Clue 3: The universe itself contrives to keep him alive, no matter how this may inconvenience him.

It is some time since I read it, so maybe you're after something else and I'm completely off the track. Edit: One of my favorite authors is banned on this board? His last name is a short form of Richard, and it also means "fat" in German.
Ursula Lictuz	Posted - 2004.04.29 13:15:00 - [111] to try to stop this monopoly, i¦ll throw in an easy one for ya Round 14: Clue 1: Astronaut Urs -------- Religion is crowd control and I have the freedom to choose wether I follow it or not. Do you want to be ruled more?

Geller	Posted - 2004.04.29 13:36:00 - [113] Originally by: Ursula Lictuz Round 14: Clue 1: Astronaut Hang on - noones got Question 13 yet !!
Ursula Lictuz	Posted - 2004.04.29 13:50:00 - [114] oops, sry, misread. Well, then mine next, just this one Urs -------- Religion is crowd control and I have the freedom to choose wether I follow it or not. Do you want to be ruled more?
Asharee Intrefer	Posted - 2004.04.29 13:51:00 - [115] Yeah, I started doubting my own answer shortly after I posted. I think I got caught up on the "wandering jew" part or something.
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.29 13:57:00 - [116] I had a look at the Amazon comments on PKD's The Divine Invasion. It sounds interesting. I'll probably keep an eye out for it.
Asharee Intrefer	Posted - 2004.04.29 14:56:00 - [117] I recommend it. But first you should read Valis, which is the first of three books in his theological "Exegesis", followed by The Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer. They are not conventional sci-fi, but they raise a lot of interesting questions. PKD was a very original thinker, in my opinion. Btw, I think I know where to find the answer for the question, as I think I have heard about the work in question, but I'm not going to google for the correct answer.
Valisk	Posted - 2004.04.29 14:57:00 - [118] Edited by: Valisk on 29/04/2004 15:05:15 Ah!!!!! The 'Wandering Jew' clue was excellent! DAB Eve Division

I thought that clue was a little obvious. Are you letting someone else do the actual guessing, to break this vicious cycle? Cheers, Geller.
Omber Zombie	Posted - 2004.04.29 18:52:00 - [122] I'll guess Nathan Brazil, from the book The Return of Nathan Brazil (Jack Chalker) but use Ursula's question next 'cause I cannot be bothered Oh, and as a wild guess for Ursula - Dave Bowman ----------- "Remember people: Omber is the biggest evil ever created, DO NOT let it get to you!"

(I think he appears in 6 of the 10, but is mentioned in all of them) Well done Cheers, Geller
Asharee Intrefer	Posted - 2004.04.30 04:54:00 - [124] I'll have a guess at Ursula's clue too: Dr. Zefram Cochrane Just to name on astronaut in sci-fi..
Geller	Posted - 2004.04.30 07:27:00 - [125] I'll go with John Cryton (from Farscape)
Drac Dragnog	Posted - 2004.04.30 13:21:00 - [126] Ok I know this is horrible but the only astronaught that comes to mind is Buzz Lightyear... Yes I have a 4 year old so there... BTW while typing I thought of the famous Buzz Aldrin, so thats another but sence hes real, you dont want him. Disclaimer Random Babble is quite possible

Asharee Intrefer	Posted - 2004.05.02 06:34:00 - [128] What happened to the quiz? Maybe Ursula hasn't realized that we took up on her clue?
Darkii kior	Posted - 2004.05.02 08:13:00 - [129] And CHAOS rained down on the posts of the sci-fi quiz. Ok the next round belongs to Omber Zombie. If you wana post your own clues please win one. And too all the ppl posting, if you give something abstract and not really known or known to only a few ppl well that will decrease ppl's anwsers, so try to give as an anwser something well known but wrap it up in clues that it will not be so easy, look at the old quiz and see what Lomex did. Do, or do not. There is no try. 'jedi master Yoda'

SeraphElite	Posted - 2004.05.24 05:55:00 - [161] Asura. From Feersum Endjinn, by Ian M. Banks?
NATASHA MAR	Posted - 2004.05.24 17:14:00 - [162] nope. want another clue ? 3- this person began terrified of space travel . but they learnt to overcome this fear . ( that has got to give it away )
Falbala	Posted - 2004.05.25 11:59:00 - [163] My second guess would be Aenea in Dan Simmon's Endymion but I am not too sure about the space flight fear...
NATASHA MAR	Posted - 2004.05.25 17:46:00 - [164] and no again . there was me thinking you would have got it this one should do it ( i hope ) 4- She marries a Raven

Kragg Malak	Posted - 2004.05.28 01:39:00 - [171] the obvious answer would be Luke Skywalker, so i'm probably wrong
Geller	Posted - 2004.05.28 09:47:00 - [172] Originally by: Kragg Malak the obvious answer would be Luke Skywalker, so i'm probably wrong No - not Luke Skywalker. Clue 2 - Ran away from home and befriended a Smuggler.
Kakita Jalaan	Posted - 2004.05.28 10:15:00 - [173] Edited by: Kakita Jalaan on 28/05/2004 10:17:37 Well, make it Paul Atreides then. BackWATER world as in the Atreides homeworld, where water falls from the sky. Semi-religious order as in Fremen. Lol, didn't even read clue 2... but it still fits I guess, if you count Gurney Halleck as a smuggler in his later career.
Asharee Intrefer	Posted - 2004.05.28 14:32:00 - [174] I have trouble fitting in the the "farm boy" part of the clue with Paul Atreides... But I can't come up with a guess anyway.
Geller	Posted - 2004.05.31 07:42:00 - [175] Sorry about the delay in bringing the next clue. Since no-one has it right yet I'll go a little less cryptic: Clue 3: Bartender and Mentor
Kakita Jalaan	Posted - 2004.06.01 00:46:00 - [176] Yeah, the farm boy thing doesn't fit. But everything else did so nicely that I hoped it was a metaphor for something
Geller	Posted - 2004.06.01 08:46:00 - [177] Originally by: Kakita Jalaan Yeah, the farm boy thing doesn't fit. But everything else did so nicely that I hoped it was a metaphor for something No - the farm boy thing is a definate - no metaphors there. Clue 4: At various times he is known by three names, the first given by his father, the second he gave himself, and the third (the one he is best known by) was given by the order he eventually joins. In this third role his is named after the founder of the order, because they have great hopes for him.
MiloMorai	Posted - 2004.06.02 05:43:00 - [178] Emile Antoon Khadaji, later known as Pen of the siblings of the shroud.AKA The man who never missed. I collect ships. Can I have yours?
Geller	Posted - 2004.06.02 07:49:00 - [179] Edited by: Geller on 02/06/2004 07:51:02 Originally by: MiloMorai Emile Antoon Khadaji, later known as Pen of the siblings of the shroud.AKA The man who never missed. So close - as a matter of fact 1/3 right, but not quite close enough. Based on that answer, I guess the last clue has to be: Clue 5: Tutor, Mentor and Spiritual guide to Emile Antoon Khadaji "The man who never missed".
Geller	Posted - 2004.06.07 08:30:00 - [180] Can someone get this one? MiloMorai has told you which series of books, and you could probably get the answer from any book in the series. Cheers, Geller
Falbala	Posted - 2004.06.07 11:23:00 - [181] Pen?
Geller	Posted - 2004.06.07 14:56:00 - [182] Edited by: Geller on 07/06/2004 14:58:05 Edited by: Geller on 07/06/2004 14:57:19 Originally by: Falbala Pen? Yeah, Its Pen, Otherwise known as Mwili (Given name which he abandoned when he fled home) or Ferret. His story is covered in detail in "The 97th Step" by Steve Perry, but he appears in most of the Matador series at some point (He doesn't actually appear in Matadora although Emile spends much of the book pretending to be him, and I dont think he appears in Brother Death but I may be wrong.) I feel a bit guilt about this round, because MiloMorai came so close, actually listing the correct character as part of his answer, but still being clearly wrong. Anyway Falbala, Your turn.
Falbala	Posted - 2004.06.07 15:51:00 - [183] Sorry to win that way, I have waited a bit before giving the answer^^. However... I don't know if this clue is hard or easy... clue 1: Lead scientist and politician of the Union.
Geller	Posted - 2004.06.09 07:42:00 - [184] Originally by: Falbala clue 1: Lead scientist and politician of the Union. Not sure about the Union part - only person I can think of who was both Chief Scientist and Politician was: Davros - The Kaled chief scientist, inventor of the Daleks (from Dr. Who)
Falbala	Posted - 2004.06.10 11:25:00 - [185] Not Davros. Here is another clue^^: clue 2: Cloning the body is easy but cloning the mind is a greater challenge.
Theron Gyrow	Posted - 2004.06.10 13:22:00 - [186] Ariane Emory, from C.J.Cherryh's Alliance and Union universe.
Falbala	Posted - 2004.06.10 14:35:00 - [187] Edited by: Falbala on 10/06/2004 14:37:39 Yes, congrats^^. Your turn now . Ariane Emory died in the beginning of the book but she had planned to clone herself and with the proper environment she managed to "clone" her mind too. She was at the head of the Union and also of Reseune, a research lab. The book's title is Cyteen.
Theron Gyrow	Posted - 2004.06.10 18:11:00 - [188] Hmm... Ok. Clue 1: A smart-aleck Easterner.
Avon D'Row	Posted - 2004.06.15 14:54:00 - [189] Just a guess, until we get another clue. Vladimir Taltos?
Theron Gyrow	Posted - 2004.06.17 05:18:00 - [190] Congrats, that is correct. :-) Your turn.
Avon D'Row	Posted - 2004.06.17 14:41:00 - [191] Aaarrgh, blast you google for your efficient search engine, now I've got to think of a clue. OK here we go, a probable easy one, but you never know: Clue 1 A master criminal!
Asharee Intrefer	Posted - 2004.06.17 17:30:00 - [192] Just a stab: Nick Succurso?
Isang Relow	Posted - 2004.06.18 09:44:00 - [193] Lex Luther? or is that not sci-fi?
