How about the reverse order just to shake things up.

I guess we could go backwards, but the Amnion Battle Fleet is still at large, so Stevie and Deer might want to be on red alert.

Forget it. It's payday. They're off spending their quatloos on Romulan ale and that hypnosis thing that turns you into a stalker.


So, Sky, have you ever worked for the Amnion? Just asking.

Technically quatloos are only used as units of value by "The Providers" of the planet Triskelion and using them elsewhere would only cause headaches for non primary evolutionary beings.

Having said that it's possible they are spending gold pressed latinum in some Orion casino somewhere which is a shameful use of one's paycheck. But who am I to judge?

Why do you ask manky horse dude? 😏 Looking for a job?

Hey I can put in a good word for you .. but you know what they say. .. 😏😎 .. be careful what you wish for ;) :P :borg:

Latinum is just platinum without the "p", so it's not that impressive. Creds are just a standardized bitcoin and seem a little fishy. Kirk opened up Triskelion to potential trade. Maybe people saw quatloos as a more stable alternative. Then again, the Amnion are really lazy. They probably just stole the name.

Sorus then Cord.

Sorus, show up so we can stop guessing you. It's getting annoying.

I was waiting for someone to bring the Romulan ale, but look, it's practically Monday now.

I guess the Amnion drank it all. Blame TOM. He invited them.

We still have the hypnosis thing that turns you into a stalker. That can be fun sometimes.

Deer then Linna.

And it's green, so it's almost like it's healthy.

I don't know what offbrand you've been drinking, but the real stuff is blue.

That is a serious blue.

But I admit, the green conjured a certain image of its own as well:
For me, that was a vivid pond-left-untouched green backlit by bioluminscence.

Now where was I?
Looking at timestamps, that's where.

Khaliban may have been thinking of absinthe, which is both green and medicinal due to the herbal content. (All due credit/apologies to Terry Pratchett.) Or the Amnion may have tampered with the ale, in which case I hope that folks haven't been drinking it.

Sky then TOM, hopefully unmutated.

Not quite.
unmutated? 8O
Is THAT why that blue stuff is a banned substance?

I am still hoping that Av will take my bait and click my link on the other thread, and for that exigency I am posting a reminder of how this game is played in case Av doesn't know / doesn't remember / doesn't sufficiently care about the ins and outs of "Guess The Next Poster":
Loredoctor, in GTNP, Vol. 1 wrote:Ok, here is how it's played. I guess who is next to post in THIS thread, the next person then says if I'm right and then guesses the next poster. HOWEVER, if you click on this thread you have to post. So say I guess Dukkha will post next, and danlo reads the post, he HAS to reply, and I am then wrong as danlo posted.
I may end up updating this post to keep a tab on who is correct the most.
Anyways, since I'm hoping Av will come here when he wakes up, I definitely have to guess someone not-Av, to spite the Murphy's Law faeries.

So, to that end, I'll pick... ohhhhh... Sky then tOM!

The blue stuff is banned, because you end up insulting a bunch of Klingons then wake up the day after next to your chief engineer and a random expendable crewmember wearing nothing but an eyepatch and grape jelly.

The green stuff is probiotic, but also causes a mild hallucination where you barbecue your favorite pokemon in a mango and jalapeno sauce. A bit spicy, but well worth it.
