    Poll Lobster Grill! Trivia Contest (63 votes)

    Alpha 30%
    Beta 19%
    Gamma 25%
    Delta 25%

    Happy summer duders! Thanks to the Romulan expansion, some live Giant Bomb coverage, and the resulting huge upswing in active Lobsters, it's high time to run a contest to welcome new and returning players to the game! This contest will run for 2 weeks, closing on June 15th.

    Some of these are pretty big prizes, so in order to win big, you need to work for it! ;) There are three categories of trivia, to give everyone with different strengths a fair chance. Many of the questions are not easily Googled.

    • You Don't Know Giant Bomb
    • You Don't Know Star Trek
    • You Don't Know Star Trek Online

    What you have to do:

    1. Vote on this poll
    2. Read all of the questions carefully
    3. Send me a PM with your answers
    4. Be a member of the SNL fleet before June 15th.

    What you can't do:

    1. Be an officer (Crab) in the fleet (we are the prize sponsors)
    2. Post your answers here (because other people will steal them, mail them to me, and ruin your chances)
    3. Enter more than once (you monster)
    4. Choose your prize (this is the random luck bit)

    What you can do:

    1. Offer to trade your prize winnings with someone else
    2. Sell what you win on the in-game Exchange
    3. Request anonymity
    4. Donate more prizes!

    Prize list: (subject to updates/changes without notice)

    • Mirror ships
    • Clothing
    • Pets and novelties
    • Duty Officer packs
    • Rare and Very Rare Duty Officers
    • Rare and Very Rare Bridge Officers
    • Guns, lots of guns
    • Aegis gear sets (qty 2)
    • Master keys (qty ?)
    • 1000 Zen card code (qty 2)
    • Free Tier 4 Fleet ship (qty 1, winner must provide 20,000 fleet credits)

    Fine Print & Administration: (read this too)

    I will collect the answers and assign all valid entries an anonymous number, and all prize categories a random letter with the quantity of letters representing the final number of available prizes. I will send those lists to 2 fleet officers, one of whom will shuffle the numbers, the other will shuffle the letters. They will be able to independently confirm I did not alter the order when the winners list is published.

    This contest is offered as a for-fun community event, independent of Giant Bomb, CBSi, Cryptic, and Perfect World Entertainment. Depending on where you live, your local laws may not permit you to enter this kind of contest. Prizes have no transferrable cash value. These are freely offered digital goods and product keys. There may be more entries than prizes, or vice versa. Many will enter, few will win. I and other members of the SNL fleet are not responsible for any technical problems that may occur in the receipt of contest entries, or the delivery of prizes, and offer no warranty or obligation that prizes will be received by recipients. Prizes will not be re-awarded if claimed to not have been received.

    Happy to donate a few more prizes. I have a few dozen Mirror ships that are just collecting virtual dust.

    @akyho: No problem! Running fleet or STF missions with fleetmates is always the #1 value-add, which simply means play with friends. Not hard.

    @lclay: Ya did good!

    @kristov_romanov: You're not wrong, but there are so few Enterprise seasons to draw from. ;D

    Of all the episodes of Voyager I could choose to be my first it had to be the one that answered one of the real humdingers on that list, and I'd already submitted.

    Famous quote from Sulu in Undiscovered Country? Damn I can think of at least 3 memorable Sulu lines in that movie.

    @fisk0: Then try to make me laugh. I bet you'll get plenty right!

    @sharpshooter: Pick one! :) Good odds.

    Right now odds are very good actually, and I'd prefer to not feel it's necessary to extend the deadline and drop everyone's odds. So get those answers in and reach critical mass! Thanks to the mods & Matt for all the unsolicited site promos.

    I'm willing to share my answer key to whomever asks after the contest closes. I'm shying away from posting it here, since that makes it more googleable which might impact similar trivia questions on the internets. They won't be reused by me in SNL.

    Thanks to everyone who entered! I'll use this post for some housekeeping and final updates once I have the chance to log in to the game.

    UPDATE #3: (Most) Prizes have been distributed!

    If you have won a quantity&variety prize like "Mirror Ship" or "Console Pack" etc, you are welcome to view the Fleet Rewards tab and pre-emptively send me a Mail with your preference, first come first served. Without hearing a preference, I will pick one type at random, and it's your choice if you want to trade with someone.

    You're Weiners List:

    Pasting in a spreadsheet is several shades of ridiculously difficult. So here's black text on a white background.
    Pasting in a spreadsheet is several shades of ridiculously difficult. So here's black text on a white background.

    Thanks to everyone for entering! One anonymous user decided to forego the main prizes, so those will be rolled into the next occasion to give things away. The "Latinum Tier" of 10 grand prizes was one each, the "Dilithium Tier" had 30 assorted prizes with the potential for duplicate wins, and the Poll Bonus was a stack of 25 DOFFing commodities assigned at random. In addition, all 10 winners received an entry bonus of 5000 Fleet Mark boost, 1 mini-pack of Federation DOFFs, and 1 mini-pack of Gamma DOFFs.

    Thanks again to my double-blind randomisers, your glorious co-leader @Hero_Swe, and our long-lost SNL co-founder @Legend who is through the wormhole in Account Support Limbo (probably big spiders there too). Pups 'n chomps to @Rorie for being the integrity overseer and point man for PWE's generous donation of Romulan Starter Packs. Last but not least our active SNL Officers for crafting, banking, and donations directly to support the contest and the fleet.
