/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I always wondered if Picard would be great or terrible at poker.
Oh, c’mon…
Better than Ryker? No. But I’m sure he could hold his own.
Part of me thinks he'd be amazing because of his skills as a captain that transfer (like knowing when to bluff), but also, it would be hilarious for him to make a big deal about finally joining them and then losing terribly because they play all the time and he never does.
That’s just it— he’d play it cool by losing a few hands at first then coming in cool to win big. See, Riker is big and showy, but Picard is a man of strategy. Riker wouldn’t see him coming.
But, on the next hand, Data would have him. ;)
Pre emotion chip? Nah. Picard would have too good of a poker face for Data to beat before he better understands emotions and has a "guy feeling" (despite lack of a gut)
