Is this a joke or are the GMs high?

This sounds like lootboxes. Lootboxes are the worst game mechanic ever invented. Why would you implement them as anything other than a bad joke?

I don't know whether the QMs are high, but it is clearly a joke. I mean:

Look on the bright side the aquisition of rare loot from the lootboxes are not being broadcast across the entire quadrante by way of bright yellow text lines across the display screens.

I saw I was getting a ton of informative ratings so it must be true!

Also the players of Cardassian quest are much richer than you so, good luck!

A simple "Are we being trolled, Yes or No" would be nice.

Yes, you are being trolled.

More to the point of anything I'm pretty sure running a lockbox scheme that blatant would violate the Sufficient Velocity TOS.

Any idea why it's not listed in the 'Informational' threadmarks if you open the Threadmarks panel?

Speak for yourself, I don't feel trolled at all.

Although the QMs could stand to up the drop rate a little, or maybe introduce another source of points in case Q is busy that quarter.

And why am I not trolled? Isn't there something in the TOS that requires 'equal rights for all'?

That's easy, they just have to repeat the same quarter in different timelines / different parallel universes.

@charysa, for Kepler: First Impressions -
[ ][KEPLER] Accurate rumors: Sapok will captain USS Kepler.
[ ][KEPLER] Ava Ree-Tatyarr: The first time Kepler rolls snake-eyes for an event, while Ree-Tatyarr is aboard, will result in something interesting happening, even if the ship fails the event.
[ ][KEPLER] Straak's supervision: Gain an additional +10 SR the first time Kepler passes a resource gain event.

Going for the sure thing rather than relying on RNG or a one time bonus.

Snake eyes sound like an unhappy thing to happen.

Aw.

How would you even buy lootboxes if you live in a moneyless society?

Everyone knows Scam City is in CONnecticut.

Blatant lies. Ruse street is clearly in North Manchester:

4649 Ruse St
North Manchester, IN 46962

Google Maps

Scam City is clearly a local neighborhood there, designated by unnoficial commemerative street signs, paid for by contributions to city hall.

I think this is more along the lines of lampooning the forces of darkness that took over STO a few years back.

A random thought.

Some have speculated that not all of the bought forward in time ships belong some to the Techno-Vulcans. Some may belong to the Sol Resistance.
If there are Sol Resistance ships present, how are the crews of such going to react to this?

Their solar system is devastated.

There are these gigantic vessels, laying waste (we hope) to their Techno-Vulcan led foes.

When contacted, there are Humans there, but also Vulcans, Andorians and Amarkians - all races that these humans have only known as foes.
