comment ... Aeryn is already distrusting before that. She is already not believing Matala's story about why 2 scientists are the only ones on a Carrier … she makes the statement about D’Argo and Crichton after that. ... however, I defer the decision to the judge! :D

[Tokeya]

NQ: What's Aeryn's response to John's "I'm gonna get some air"?
A: "We have air in here. What is the matter with him?"

Q: What mental abilities does Crichton suspect lies within Matala?
A: telepathic powers of seduction, psychic Spanish Fly.

NQ: Who played Matala?

[About Aeryn and distrust… Generally questions that call for speculation or subjective answers aren't valid. Since we try to avoid speculation, I went with Aeryn's stated answer to why she doesn't trust Matala. But I'm not the judge and it didn't cost me anything to throw that alternate answer out there.]

[Tokeya]

NQ: What are all the ways Crichton "dies" in this episode?

Deleted my answer due to same question being asked by me and Denai.

I will let Sunshiner decide if the following question will remain.
Q:Crichton appears to be in discomfort, what is Aeryn's advise to him?

[DenAstrogeek]

Um, did we just ask the same question?

[Tokeya]

I noticed that. I changed it since you asked the question first. ;)

[DenAstrogeek]

Q: Crichton appears to be in discomfort, what is Aeryn's advise to him?
A: Well, perhaps you need to rest and revitalize, too.

NQ: How many tentacles does Verell have on his head?
(Is changing question posts kosher?)

[Tokeya]

I was trying to be courteous, you did asked it first and I have deleted my answer and will not take credit for it. ;)

I will more than happy to withdraw from the game. I do not want to cause any hard feelings. :)

[frelledbyfate]

NQ: How many tentacles does Verell have on his head?
A: two

NQ: in what room do Aeryn and Matala fight?

[frelledbyfate]

Hey folks this is just a quick stop in. Gotta spend the day in the library doing research on the Ohio Canal for a study guide. Bleech! I'll try to get back later!

-FBF

[katyaz]

Well, I'm not Sunshiner, but I am sure that you don't have to withdraw from the game, Tokeya! I am having a lot of fun playing with you! :)

Q: in what room do Aeryn and Matala fight?
A:the cargo bay

NQ: What does Matala thank Aeryn for after beating her with her secret move?

[DenAstrogeek]

I will more than happy to withdraw from the game. I do not want to cause any hard feelings.
Oh, please, don't do that!!! I didn't mean it that way. Perhaps I need more smileys in my posts. I just meant as something to keep in mind for the future, perhaps we should all just try to avoid editing "official" posts. At worst, I would think doing something like that could get a point or two voided by a player, but certainly isn't grounds for leaving the game.



Q: What does Matala thank Aeryn for after beating her with her secret move?
A: : I thank you for the exercise.

NQ: What is the pattern on the mat where Aeryn and Matala work out?

[DenAstrogeek]

BTW, to clarify my tentacle question (I'm honestly not trying to be unclear!)... If someone carefully removed Verell's head without damaging the tentacles, how many tentacles would there be on his head? (Not 2.)

My, that was a bit morbid.

[katyaz]

Q: What is the pattern on the mat where Aeryn and Matala work out?
A: It's the PK symbol. You want a description? Um, I'm bad at those. Let's just say it's red, white and black and leave it at that. :)

Q: How many tentacles does Verell have on his head?
A: Hmmm... From what Den said, I guess I'd have to say three.

NQ: How many times does Aeryn knock Matala to the floor before Matala gets mad and beats her?

[DenAstrogeek]

Q: How many times does Aeryn knock Matala to the floor before Matala gets mad and beats her?

NQ: Who was the editor for this episode?

Hey, kz, how's it going? I thought you would have had a stronger presence earlier this round. Busy?

[DenAstrogeek]

(I don't think anyone has answered my first question from this page. I'm pretty sure Tokeya knows the answer. ;-) )

[Tokeya]

I really enjoy playing with you guys too.

I understand what you were trying to say Denali and that's why I felt it was best to step down and forfeit my points. I will just sit on the side lines for this round. :)

[DenAstrogeek]

Knock that off! Who's feelings do you think are going to be hard? Everybody involved has said, "no big deal".

Now come play with me already! :-P

[People have edited posts with q/a in past rounds. While I generally try to avoid it, there have never been any repercussions or hard feelings that I know about.]

[DenAstrogeek]

Tokeya? :( :( :(

[katyaz]

Tokeya??? Please don't leave!!! Really, editing a question is not so bad! You don't need to step aside. You didn't need to delete your answer, either! The worst that could happen with a repeat question is that Sunshiner won't count your answers. :)

(Besides, you are winning! You don't want to leave now, do you? ;) )

And Den -- yeah, Sorry I'm not here more today. It's a lot harder to get away on a weekday than it is on the weekend. :)

[katyaz]
