Away Team Mission: Principia Discordia Forum
 

As an homage to the Internet Safari that recently visited us, I thought we should return the favor, and pay our good neighbors a visit.

First, go to their site and register. don't post.

2nd, prepare your Star Trek character. Decide what species/race/rank you want to be..... if you need help PSing your pic into a star trek uniform, let me know. I see Zippy as a Klingon.....working on that.....

3rd, await your orders. We'll let you know when we beam down to the surface of their site and begin our mission.


post in this thread if you're into it, and let us know what your name will be.... ie: Lt. Cicero.......Ensign Razz Amatazz etc

they have avatars, so the pic is key for continuity.

We'll beam down into a thread once we have assembled a proper away team.

STAR DATE: 62557.9

Ohh Ohh Ohh Me Me Me.......

Can I be a horta? Please???

of course....

what;s a horta?

how does this look?

This is motivation for me to get photoshop working again.. the picture I will be using:

http://cullected.files.wordpress.com.../tribbles2.jpg

Apparently I've been nominated to be Admiral Dallas. I will sit around on my ass at Starfleet command, get 5 minutes of screen time in which I act all stick-up-my-ass-by-the-book-military, and then disappear while Captain Whoever goes off, defies my orders, nails some hot alien chick, and just generally saves the universe as we know it.

I could potentially serve as T'Pringles, a Vulcan who has a fetish for snack foods ...

There's nothing that drives a Discordian battier than logic.

Can I get to be the guy that gets to work the transporter beam? I always noticed that the transporter operator moves the sliders s-l-o-w-l-y. I always wondered what would happen if somebody sneezed or was just in a big damn hurry and just slammed them up... or is it down.

OK, maybe somebody else should work the transporter. Just don't screw up the coordinates and send us over to AG, please. I don't think my phaser goes up high enough for that. :3_eyes:

Hmmmm.... maybe we can forge an alliance and send a joint strike force to ....

This could get interesting.

Not Horta....Vorta

(If you're talking about the high rank dominion race from DS9 that ruled over the jem hadar, but were beneath the founders? Unless Horta is something from the original ST...in which case I apologise...)


I'll see if I have some time later today to go set something up...

This sounds like a lot of fun but I have just hit my holyshtstudentseverywherewhatbloodyroomamIinetcetc phase. What kind of participation do you have in mind, captain?

The Horta are silicone based creatures in the original ST. They tunnel through rock and look something like what a dog throws up after eating a small animal.

Ahhhh. I getcha. Fraid I only watched some of the original Star Trek. I came into it through ST:TNG :P

i woke up with several good ideas for this.....stay tuned to this thread today.

Seaman Toad reporting in for this excellent and important mission

I can host yer image file if you don't have somewhere else to put em

Lumberjim, you should be a Vulcan called Mr Cock.

Excellent Dana.
Isn't there a Dana on Star Trek already? It would be an easy fit.

I'm at a loss for who I should be. Zippy suggested Ensign Toes.

I LOLLED AT MY DESK

i'm going to make a spaceship in that gif thing,...... i think the premise will be that .....well...just wait.

giving it a coat of thinking/psing. Do we have to have huge flashy signatures too? are we registering without avatars for now in case it spoils the suprise?

I would like to participate, but my online time outside of work is pretty much nil, and my online time at work is very limited right now. I'll be a good sport any play whatever small part you want me to, if someone wants to make me the required accessories :)

I loved the original Star Treks. My dad worked 2nd shift, and I would watch reruns with my mom while waiting for him to get home. We had total crushes on William Shatner... --um, my mom and I.

Lt. Uh-Hoo-Haa is awaiting approval

Okay - I had to give a username when I registered. That wasn't supposed to be my Star Trek name was it? Because that was in Step 2...?

Like Dani, I wasn't a fan of the original series at all!
But I would be very grateful if someone would shop me a uniform - there should be plenty of pictures here to play with if you have the time?

Othwise I guess I'll use the one of me from the photo manipulator, so's I can be black - a little racial diversity in our invasion. I'd prefer a uniform though :)

I'd like to be the ship's doctor (a la Crusher) so I can get to look at all the dinkles.

oh well then i fucked up, I just took my cue from the other recent reg.

S'okay - just had my approval, saying I can change it after I register.
You'll just stick with yours I guess.

I went and registered, now what? Oh mighty one.

Captain James T Cock ;)

I will be Dr Cherry Picar MD, Chief Medical Officer.
Although I won't have all that as my username of course :)

So, wait. We are or we aren't registering with our Star Trek Names?

I haz no fotoshop skilz.

I also, I have realized, no photos of me looking even relatively serious.

Will have to rectify.

I'll be a ferengi. I expect this voyage will be very profitable.
Just waiting for approval of my registration.

C'mon guys, I need a name.
help me out.

I dunno,

Lt. Commander Yard?

Maybe I can be three of nine?
I am three of nine.

Uhhh, was this supposed to be old school star trek?

For Discordians, they have a shitload of very precise rules to get registered ...

you can change your screen name in the profile settings....so register as whatever, to to profile, acct related settings and change it when we land

footz3pO

I'm interested.
I even volunteer for the red shirt position

It's TREK not WARS, are you mocking me? [/lightyear]

http://jimhelm.net/resources/rentaprize+animated.gif

oh noze! the LMAO-ROFL drive of the USS Rent A Prize has breached! we'll have to send an away team down to this planet and get suplize!

Can you wait til someone has been kind enough to shop me?
If not, I'll tag along later. In a runabout.
I've got to start cooking dinner in about 30 mins anyway.

OK, i gotta do some work

oh definitely....i'm thinking this will take a day or two to prepare

Good news!
I might even try to make a gif in that place.
Maybe shakin' my ass :)

I have made multiple attempts to take my own picture, with little success.

I have, however, made a meez.

Which they manage to injure, Kirk calls on McCoy to attend to it allowing him to bust out the immortal line "Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor, not a bricklayer"
Horta wiki page

I'm totally in, no Scottie yet, bagsy.

I'm seeing SG as Nurse Chapel crossed with a Hattie Jakes matron from a Carry On or Doctor film

I think this is going to cramp our style abit.

F3 maybe you can be Lt Sulululu ;)

PAH

doctor cherry crusher:

I think I will be Nurse Chippie [Chapel- Christine]

3/9

excellent foot! er 3 of 9

captain James T Cock:

No laughing at my lack of photoshop skills!

I see I will be working under Sundae ;)

I want to reserve 1st Officer William Piker for Cicero, if I may

LMAO - Ok guys/gals - I'm in - as I said, I have volunteered to be the "Red Shirt" (guy that gets killed) gimme a name - I got a suggestion of
Ensign Dickjoy.

Ensign Expendable?

Ensign DeadMeat

Like Kenny, ok?

We'll need you again later.

O wow that is perfect! He can be brain alive, body dead! :cool:

Red Shirt Riley


to put you in the mood

[geek]But Riley was a gold shirt, man ...[/geek]

crap. now I'll be singing "Take Me Home Again, Kathleen" all day.

I downloaded a free photoshop wannabe, and had a go at it, with NO idea what I was doing.
I'll have more practice and see if I can come up with a square image.

Right now it's like learning a whole new language!
