Make it so

Spam but uh feel free to post in the thread I guess

[Pentegarn]

Haven't seen one of these in a while, but I won't touch whatever link is there

[Dimnos]

WoW gold?! God damn it I wanted to buy Star Trek credits. >:

[The Leader]

Uh, they don't have money in Star Trek. :nerd

[Tadao]

He said credits you little faggot.

[Pentegarn]

*waves hand*

Credits will do fine

[The Leader]

He said credits you little faggot.
EXCUSE ME, UH, BUT CREDITS ARE IN STAR WARS, NOT STAR TREK. IN STAR TREK THE USE OF MONEY HAS BECOME OBSOLETE BECAUSE OF THE ABILITY TO REPLICATE MATTER.

[The Leader]

>:

[Tadao]

They used CREDITS in the casino. Then there was that little faggot Quark in Deep Space Nine. I seem to remember he ran his business in some sort of monetary trade.

[Colonel Flagg]

Gold-pressed Latinum. :geekpolice

[Tadao]

Yeah, that's nothing like money Da Leaduuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrr

[kahljorn]

THE KLINGONS USED HONOR FOR CURRENCY

HAS ANYBODY PLAYED STAR TREK THE MMORPG

DOES IT HAVE A DEATH PENALTY

[Pentegarn]

I think the penalty in the Star Trek MMO is playing the Star Trek MMO

[The Leader]

Trading things that are difficult to replicate hardly constitutes currency.

Are you being stupid?

[The Leader]

No, I'm having a serious debate about Star Trek.

[Supafly345]

I am no star trek aficionado, but wasn't the fact that the TNG movies suggested there was no money in the future piss people off because the show clearly shows they do? I dunno I remember there being a controversy there.

[Pentegarn]

I'll wager 200 Quatloos on the newcomer (http://www.quatloos.com/general/backgrnd.htm)

[Colonel Flagg]

I think the dealio was that on the starship, everything was tied to your service in StarFleet. You could get whatever personal items you wanted, provided you were in good standing, and the items were not unreasonable (No Bentley's in Space!).

When you visited a starport not in Starfleet, or with non-Starfleet personnel (like Quark or Garak) running businesses, there was always an exchange of latinum - either strips or bars - for the service requested. It may not be universal, but it was used as currency, especially when dealing with the Ferengi.

"Now" I am being silly?

Thus using a form of currency.

YOU PROBABLY DON'T EVEN WATCH STAR TREK

In short, humans seem to have ditched money, but other aliens still have it.

It's complicated, I guess.

[Evil Robot]

Your all gay and your hobbies are that of little girls. EVE is the only space game with a real economy run by icelandic scientologists with nazi like efficiency.

What does our penchant for pelvically pounding posteriors have to do with Star Trek currency?

[spookware]

ahhh EVE the game that taught me that space is really really boring, without even going there.

I think he might be confusing Trek geeks with furries. We're WAY cooler than they are. >:

EDIT: And, FYI the only Trek show of which I didn't see all the episodes was "Enterprise", because it sucked.

[Colonel Flagg]

Can someone please change the name of this thread to "gold-pressed latinum-wow.6"?

[Dr. Boogie]

How about a compromise?

[Colonel Flagg]

Engage!

[Dimnos]

This thread has gone fucking crazy. :lol I have never been a Star Trek fan and cant tell you what they use in the show or the movies but in the MMO they use some sort of energy credits or something.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

Somebody should have killed Quark from deep space nine. He was annoying.

[Colonel Flagg]

No. Quark was amusing. Rom deserved a slow death by roasting over an open fire with scorpions being shoved up his sphincter.

[Dimnos]

Somebody should have killed Quark from deep space nine. He It was annoying.

[Pentegarn]

Necessary corrections are important

[kahljorn]

I THOUGHT QUARK WAS FROM VOYAGER

VOYAGER MORE LIKE BOOAGER

[Colonel Flagg]

Voyager started out promising, then quickly became a giant schlong-sucking show.

Still watched it, though. :(

[The Leader]

I've only watched Star Trek and the Next Generation. Because I have taste.:posh

[Tadao]

Then spot acting like a little faggot know it all. :moon

[The Leader]

Shouldn't you be off stealing triscuits from a 7-11 or something?
