The new 20Q Trek game

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

..stinks. I like the idea of it, but:

It crashed my comp, which has high speed internet, three times. When it does work, it works slow. It also barely remembers answers I already gave. After specifying that I'm talking about a planet, it asks me if it's Spot.

WTF?

 

[Jadzia]

It worked alright for me. It correctly guessed Niomi Wildman, after incorrectly guessing Millie.

 

[The Squire of Gothos]

I doubt some of the answers that other users have given, but it was mostly right.

Even on very fast connection (at the office) it was slow as hell, I'm not even going to try it here in the house.

Just tried it out and it wasn't to bad. It did struggle with a couple, but I think it was my fault it trying to explain it. I wanted to do "Andorian" and it took 26 questions to get to Shran, which was the closest thing I could find. "Self-sealing stem bolt" was another tough one, but I've never seen one up close so it was hard to describe it. It did fine with communicator, an easy one I know, and "gold pressed latinum" which it got "latinum" so close enough.

Kinda fun and I've bookmarked it so I can try again later. It didn't seem slow at all on my DSL connection, so I don't know why it was so slow for one of the other posters.

i used it, trying to get it to guess USS Diedre and it took 30 questions before giving up. i had no trouble with it...

 

[Trekwatcher]

Worked for me! I thought of Riley from TOS although it did not guess it in time.

 

[Newspaper Taxi]

I managed to stump the game with "The Presevers", and "Denobula."

I was impressed that it was able to guess Dr. Soran, the villian from Genesis. I mean, half of the people that have seen the movie can't remember his name!

I was also amused by some of the quesions. When I had chosen Porthos, who was guessed in 20 questions, it asked "Could it fit in Odo's Bucket?" Porthos in Odo's bucket...that's a cute image.

Crashed on me too, it did that standard "crappy slow Flash site" thing where I would move the mouse over one of the buttons and then 30 seconds later it would slowly and jerkily do the sound effects and animation at about a frame per second.

 

[mythme]

worked perfectly for me.

I stumped it with Ru'afo.

I think it "learns" over time. I'll try it in a week and see what happens.

 

[T'Bonz]

Silly game. I won the first time. I was thinking "Romulus" (well natch! ) and it guessed "Remus".

 

[archeryguy1701]

Not bad. I ws able to stump it on Andoria, Gul Dukat, and a mine.

 

[Flying Spaghetti Monster]

is there a way to make it text only, or to reduce the graphics/ animation. it always crashes on me
at least with firefox

 

[OmahaStar]

I tried it and it couldn't guess:

1) Lwaxana Troi
2) *Captain Picard*
3) The Holy Rings of Betazed
4) The Enterprise

It couldn't get .. the Enterprise ... from Star Trek. Not impressed in the least.

 

[erastus25]

I played several times and it was pretty good. The ones it didn't get in 20 it got before 30.

It was slow for me at first as well, but it sped up significantly when I played a second round.

 

[Dayton Ward]

I was able to stump it with Uhura's earpiece

 

[loldrey]

It took 29 questions and three guesses before it figured out that it was Icheb.. it guessed Morn before it guessed Icheb.. I didn't even realize that Morn WAS "mechanically inclined".

 

[Colonel Green]

It got Scotty on it's second guess.

Apparently other user answered "no" to the question: Do they practice special rituals?

The guy wears a kilt as part of his dress uniform and plays the fucking BAGPIPES for gods sake!
