The Secret Race

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Here is the final clue to the identity of the secret race.

The ******* ********* ** **********!

If anyone can guest that, I will give them a single shot of one of the models for their desktop!

Thats what I thought it was as well, the last word could be a planet/system.

Of would be the correct word.

Sorry for the double post. I don't know how to add multi qoutes to an edit. Syf, can you fiz this?

 

[Majestic]

Wow! This thread is still alive?...Did anyone ever fiqure out that puzzle Syf left us?

I did!

Only because Syf told me.

 

[Syf]

I don't think anyone can guess it in 2 years!

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I could always take a shot at figuring it out. LOL

 

[Syf]

Go right ahead!

I double Dog DARE you!

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

It will give me something to do while I wait on my paycheck.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Oh CF has a challenge from Syf.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I think I got an idea. I am double checking spelling. Should I post it here or in a PM?

 

[Syf]

Yeah, PM me... If it's right, I'll let you know....

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

If it is wrong then I will post it in here. THat way people know what not to guess. LOL

Edit: Here was my guess The Sheliak Continuum of **********.... But it was wrong.

 

[Timothyjmcneeley]

Syf, is any of that correct?

 

[Syf]

Yes, he got one word right.... Of!

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

I am still working on it. I had to take a break for food and a nap. Still got a splitting headache though. Not from this though. This is a nice distraction from life.

 

[SquireJames]

Hmm, one more tiny clue..Are they TMP based or a "back-dated" TNG race (or from some other era of Trek)

 

[Majestic]

Oh it's TOS/TMP alright.

 

[CrazyFrog1903]

That gives me a few more ideas. But I will look into them after I get off work tonight.

Ooh, good thinking, SquireJames! Now, where can I get my hands on a legitimate copy of the Original Series DVD collections...
*Plots & plans deviously*

 

[Aerilon]

The ******* ********* ** **********!

I forgot about that...

I suppose this narrows the choice down a little...

Question: Who decided to have this race? Was it a joint decision, or was it decided by one individual, and then shared with the other?

 

[Atlantis]

Judging by the "good try" remark when someone somewhere said Kzinti, I'm thinking it could be an SFB race... The WYN or Vudar are possibly too obsure though.

 

[SquireJames]

I was thinking SFB myself as a matter of fact Atlantis, but nothing I came up with matched the clue given.

My only guess now that would fit that format is the rather clumsy "The Pirate Cartels of Orion" but since we already know the Orion Pirates are in YY, thats a useless guess.

 

[Atlantis]

Clue? Oh... Hmm, I'd best go read it

Well if each * = 1 letter, then...

The Shatner Autocracy of OverActing?

An entire race of William Shatners! Read my dream post to understand where I got the idea...

To answer your question, back before Syf provided his serviced and it became a 'us' mod, I have the secret race as one of the four originals (Federation, Klingons, Romulans and Secret race).

If someone does guess it they will be contacted via Pm and given a pat on the back along with some exclusive inside screenshots and information on the race and sworn to secretcy.

Knowing the race really spoils the campaign though as while no where near the size, space/territory wise as the Romulans or Klingons they are a major player in the campaign and YY race.

Don't scare me like that, one is enough.

No Orions, if anything the Orions are a minor map race than annoys the player in the campaign as well as replacing the Ferengi.

 

[SquireJames]

Well thats what I meant, they are already ingame in another capacity

Sorry, my gut is about to implode from all the laughing pains... But that's the best guess I've seen!

 

[Atlantis]

lol thanks, i surprised myself with that one =D

Well I think it's time we made things a little more surreal... If we're better off not knowing (for now) then why not =P

The Tribble Democracy of Betelgeuse? <- though this one could almost be a half-serious guess
The Massive Hedgehogs of Bangladesh?
The Unified Theocracy of Methodists?

 

[SquireJames]

The People's Republic of Coridan?

 

[Syf]

Keep'em coming Atlantis... I love those guesses!

Now we are off the beaten path.... I like it.... Let's see what all people could come up with... just for the fun of it.

Take a guess.... even a rediculous one.... you never know, it may be the answer to my clue.... then again, who knows!
