Ethical treatment of tribbles?

[mdacunha]

If you were to encounter a tribble, what would your reaction be? Would you go out of your way to ensure that it is not harmed, or would you use it as a tennis ball (do tribbles even bounce)? Should tribbles be awarded the same animal cruelty rights as other non-sentient beings, or are they mushballs in waiting, lets see what your views are on the issue, as most likely we will encouter these and similar creatures in our adventures.

P.S. What is our policy on targ fighting?

[SirReginaldo]

Well to tell you the truth, I am not sure such a being could exist for long periods of time anyways so they should be turned into plush toys so that children/people can enjoy them for longer periods of time:D And you don't have to feed them:D

[Reinkaos]

Tribbles? Pah! Wait until they encounter pygmy jerboas!

[daviboi83]

I'd take my new pet tribble to sick bay to have it steralised and then find it a nice lil' cage for my quarters.

What do tribbles eat? And how?

:confused:

[Manta2015]

You'd think an opportunistic Ferengi would have developed a thriving business of getting tribbles neutered.

Pure profit :D


-Manta-

[mdacunha]

I believe that tribbles are capable of eating most non-toxic organic matter with some sort of nutrient source. They perhaps eat with little mouths covered by fut, though I do know they are born pregnant and there is no cannon anatomy source. In general, they should be mass produced as swiffer replacements.

[Vuk]

If there are none , then treating them ethically is not an issue . Deep Space is the best place for those vermin.

[wrussandrews]

If there are none , then treating them ethically is not an issue . Deep Space is the best place for those vermin.

Either that or as snacks for my pet targ.

[thefreshjedi]

**Cough Cough** "hairball... *Cough

Tribbles are failed cats.

[Niles]

Deep space isn't the best place for them. I have no idea if they breath oxygen or what but if there are alot of them you might end up having them hit your hull and space would just fill up with them. Best thing to do is vaporize them.

[Azurian]

Hmm, well I wonder if they would improve warp reaction. Well worth a try! :D

Either that or as snacks for my pet targ.

Now we have to have a thread about being ethical to Targs. You giving the poor thing a hairball!

[wrussandrews]

Good point. Perhaps I should try shaving them first?

Are you forming the games first reactionary group? PETT (People for the Ethical Treatment of Tribbles) wow.. you could take that group in so many directions.. since klingons and Tribbles naturally dislike each other you would have to kill any klingon you see to help preserve the Tribble Species......

[wingnutf22]

wow, I personally will ignore them and keep the little fur balls off my ship!

[Azurian]

Good point. Perhaps I should try shaving them first?

But what if there isn't anything underneath? I mean, what does a bald tribble look like? :eek:

[thefreshjedi]

/shudders to think of a shaved tribble:

If your Tribble was bald would you still pet it?

Like bugs on a windshield

[KashikoiBaka]

Guys guys, the obvious answer is to teleport them on to a Klingon warship just before it goes to warp.

[wrussandrews]

But what if there isn't anything underneath? I mean, what does a bald tribble look like? :eek:

I am afraid I must cede the point. Back to feeding my targ humans.

Tribbles may be vermin, but think of the weapon they could make. Drop them on a Federation colony, and they consume all the food.

Nah too dangerous; vaporize them.

[DanSeale]

But what if there isn't anything underneath? I mean, what does a bald tribble look like? :eek:

a billard ball perhaps ?

maybe that should be a ground combat special for the sciance track :P

[Ballping]

Honestly there is one idea that i would like to see.

If a Klingon Capt. loses a set number of ships within a certain amount of time, say 5 ships within a week or something along those lines, i would like to see a tribble pet would be created that would follow the Klingon Captain around everywhere he goes for a certain period of time.

I can't think of a bigger mark of shame than that. ;-)

[DanSeale]

Banzai Tribbles?

Just putting it out there.

hmmm

Could be called code name T - FORCE

[KashikoiBaka]

And here I'm thinking a water balloon sling shot would be a good method for launching tribbles.

[Sumdian]

Skin them and make some gloves and boiling them would probably make a nice pot roast :p im not sure what they would tast like but a klngon eats almost anything :)

[wrussandrews]

Drop them on a Federation colony? My gawd man, you turning them into Flying Furry Fireballs! :eek:

Hey what can I say? I am a bit twisted. Even for a Klingon.

[Arokh72]

Beam them on board an enemy ship with a supply of Tribble Viagra, Barry White CD's and some Spanish Fly.

[CaptXpendable]

Skin them and make some gloves and boiling them would probably make a nice pot roast :p im not sure what they would tast like but a klngon eats almost anything :)
That's assuming you'd even find much underneath all that fur. You might be better off just making Tribble fur coats.

[jfolds1]

mmm... should be a lot of tribble quests for klingons

worf told sisko & dax that the klingons had waged like 3 wars against them

but would not say why


also.. since we have ships.. would be cool to have tribble infestations lol like tribbles everywhere on the ship.. omg so cool so cool


;)

[mdacunha]

I like the infestation idea, it could be a random even spawned for several hours. In WOW they had an experiment, watching how a virus spread amongst the community in a number of hours, we could do the same thing with tribbles, watching how they bring down the mighty Klingon Empire and the return of the Great Tribble Hunt! It could be come a joint Federation-Klingon Project, the Culling of the Critter!

[Cormoran]

I know what's under a tribbles fur, Chuck Norris' Fist!



.......sorry, had to be done.

[mdacunha]

Chucm Norris doesn't need to hit tribbles, tribbles hit themselves when they see Chuck Norris! Okay, that one was pretty lame...

[Deyvid]

I would feed the vile creature (tribble) to my pet glommer (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Glommer)!

My Klingon battle cruiser will keep at least one glommer on board just in case, because as the old Klingon proverb says...

rut yIHmey ghom Hoch.
"Everyone encounters tribbles occasionally."
The Klingon Way: A Warrior's Guide, p.184

[Tribbler]

Sadly I roll away looking down the hallway dreaming of the day

When we will be able to tell you of Tribble "Glory" in days long past

Before the Klingons reacted that way, and hunted us down to extinction

All we do is what we do naturally and were condemned for it and prosecuted

It was Starfleet that brought us back to thrive again.

It was Starfleet that introduced us to the Klingons to begin with.

We feel "Troubled" by the past events and vow to never let it happen again

Make fun you will, enslave us and spade us, drop us and cuss us you prejudiced beings

We were once a great noble race of beings and in your fumblings and in your so-called
"Advances" you could not lift a finger to protect us.

Yes we are bitter at all bipedals with space faring abilities, and one day you might see that it is not only Tribbles you joke and make fun of, but it is the mean spirit that resides in each one of you.

That is the true rub. To us that spirit inside each of you, when consciously thought of by you, seperately and away from one another, is even despised by you, you know this to be true.

None of you will advance to the next plane of existance until you shed this spirit, once you do, you will be one step closer to angels.

A warning? Perhaps. A foresight to upcoming events? Possibly. Take heed bipedals.

May peace be with you all.

[Ceriak]

I can't think of a bigger mark of shame than that. ;-)

Perhaps if a Klingon dies less than an hour after his last death he gets one tribble in his ship? That way we could aesthetically discourage suicide or recklessness through shaming those who commit it!

[mdacunha]

Kill the tribble, quick, before he multiplies and infests the forum! (Just joking... :rolleyes:)

[colethodan]

i wud try n keep just one... cos it has a sweet coo noise lol

[DanSeale]

I wonder what would happen if they fell into a vat of Nair ?

:eek:

[mdacunha]

It would be such a waste of nair, as for the tribble, it could be used in place of waxing strips.

[Maeiliu]

Tribble cannon! Unlimited amunition, they just keep on breeding. And as a bonus it is especially effective on Klingons. :D

[DanSeale]

LOL !

Kinda gives a little different visual image of "wax on .. wax off "

:D

[jfolds1]

This is such a fun idea for the developers... bet they never thought about tribble infestations lol

Would be cool like if interacting with an infected ship would infect your own ship..

most likely by transporter interaction, although i dont know how detailed the in game transporter system is

[Matthias_DuBastyra]

Tribble Pie.

I just throwing that out there. Feddies have mince meat pie, Romulans have Tribble Pie. I've got two words for that: De-Lish!

[Dahlaine]

Take enemies shields down - teleport tribbles on board their bridge - ...:confused:... - Profit

[Aerelleus]

Shave them then deep fry em and then sell them as tribble Mc Nuggets! serve with barbeque sauce yum

Ah a youngling!

Tom Baker in a British actor famous for playing "Dr Who." He was likely the most popular of the Doctors. He also appeared in "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" and "Dungeons and Dragons."

He has very curly hair, and come to think of it it does look like a tribble.

Oh my,

We all wondered what happened to our Grandpa Tribblor. They cut him in half. gutted him, de-furred him and stuch him on a bi-pedal along with Grandma Tribblsu next to him.

Sad day in Tribble history indeed, but we thank you for the information.

[Arcticfrost]

It would be nice if you could get a tribble as a rare item won in some contest or given on some holiday, however you’d want them to be sterile or just get one.

"More Tribbles, more troubles", the STA episode, introduced a sterile Tribble (as well as the gloomer)

I wouldn't mind going on the "Great Tribble Hunt". Perhaps an exploratory mission to receive a collection item (the Tribble) Or an event, around Easter maybe?

If you were to encounter a tribble, what would your reaction be?

I'd have it star in a series of Klingon horror films.
Dawn of the Tribbles, Day of the Tribbles, Night of the Tribbles.

Tribbles are a plague on any ecosystem; exterminate at sight!

Targ fighting, how dishonorable, no klingon should ever do it.

[Deyvid]

Targs are for petting and playing with as a beloved pet, and then for eating as a cooked delicacy.

Mmmm.... Heart of Targ.

[wrussandrews]

You know, the tribble could also be used as a ball in a game.

I wonder how far they would fly?

We can use them as golf balls, cheap, colourful and makes an interesting noise while moving through the air (eeeeeeeek).

[wrussandrews]

I think that is where the skill comes in. In a given match, you would have a limited number of tribbles. Thus, if you have a higher fatality rate than your opponent you will loose.

Of course, you will want to keep your breeding stock safe. You would not want to run out of balls, after all.

[JacobFlowers]

If you were to encounter a tribble, what would your reaction be? Would you go out of your way to ensure that it is not harmed, or would you use it as a tennis ball (do tribbles even bounce)? Should tribbles be awarded the same animal cruelty rights as other non-sentient beings, or are they mushballs in waiting, lets see what your views are on the issue, as most likely we will encouter these and similar creatures in our adventures.

P.S. What is our policy on targ fighting?

I'd much rather come upon a real live pet rock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pet_Rock) to suite my fancy. They seem more playful than tribbles.

Then again... if ever I could, I'd keep a companion Cookie Monster (http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f148/tkgiutsdg/th_Cookie_Monster_mens_shirt_l.jpg).

Are tribbles edible I wonder? Pet rocks certainly are not. And cookie monsters would eat you first before you could make an attempt, of this much I know.

[Aerelleus]

I still like the idea of Tribble McNuggets

[wrussandrews]

The Society for Ethical Treatment of Tribbles must be freaking out by now.

If so, my job here is done!

[Deyvid]

Starfleet should use tribbles as a cheap, plentiful food source for planets that are facing famine. I'm sure they could be prepared in a variety of ways: boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew.

Tribble Pot Pie.

Tribble tacos.

I hold animals in higher regard than most sentient beings(if you can call them that) on our planet! The tribbles need to be nuetered or fixed same as cats. Thats their only drawback, their breeding habits.

Just putting it out there.

I'm surprised nobody understood the Bonsai kitten reference that Rekhan is making. An Internet urban legend about the cruel treatment of sticking kittens in bottles and selling them as ornaments. It is of course a Photoshopped fake.

Just do a quick google search for bonsai kitten and you'll see what I mean.

Warning: for those that are squeamish or highly offended by cruelty of animals! I hate cruelty of animals at well, but please take consolement in the fact that these images are fakes placed on the internet solely to create controversy and get attention.

Tribbles are born pregnant.

In 2269, Cyrano Jones (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Cyrano_Jones) claimed to have genetically engineered "safe" Tribbles that were sterile. He also had stolen the first glommer (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Glommer) that the Klingons had created as a natural predator of the tribbles. Of course, knowing Cyrano Jones' track record, the tribbles were not safe after all.

If I found a tribble I'd find a way to neuter it and patent the process. Then I could bluff Klingons with the (neutered) animal in trade negotiations: "Agree to my terms or I'll introduce THIS on Krios Prime!" Or I could accidentally leave an unneutered tribble and blackmail the victim after they get out of control with "oh I could remedy the problem for you but it will cost 1000 bars of gold-pressed lat..."

B]The life of the Tribble[/B] by David Attenborg.

For almost 1000 years these elusive of creatures has remained un-documented. Finallly we have managed to film the Tribbles interacting in their own habitat. Never before has the mystery surrounding Tribbles been so throughly investigated until now. We have recorded almost 1000 hours of footage of the Tribbles fight for survival in a world where only the weak suvive.

Day One

After landing on Geminorum IV we immediatly set up our cameras and made camp. The anticipation of seeing a Tribble ( or Furbyanus in latin ) was electric. Over the next few hours we scanned the area around us and found large colonys of Tribbles, so we decided to pack some provisions and start a search for the creatures.

Day Two

We have travelled what seems to be an eternity. Tiredness is now effecting us all, yet our will to document the Tribble pushes us forward. We camped at a smalll outreach of rock. As we settled down my camera man noticed he could hear a small purring sound. I suggested that he had forgot to turn one of the cameras off, after switching the device off the purring ceased. So we settled down for the night.

Day Three

After a mornings hard trek we reached a plateau. The ground appeared to be some kind of vegatation, some form of cotton perphaps. As we advanced we could see the "cotton" mass slowly moving. Also the purring sound we heard earlier started to become louder and louder. The noise was strangley soothing to us all even Phillip the cameraman who had recently lost a much cared for Hamster was touched by the small creatures song. We decided to observe the Tribbles from a distance and see who these creatures interact with each other.

Day Four

We have been observing the Tribbles now for 12 hours. Patience in the camp is now running thin. While the purring of the Tribbles is relaxing it is almost TOO affective. We have all started discussing our feelings and comsuming great amounts of what soundman Frankle calls "munchies". We have not noticed any interaction with the Tribbles who seem to just enjoy eating anything around them an wiggling slightly. We are still hoping to see the famed mating ritual of the Tribble.

Day Five

How exciting. In the early hours we noticed two Tribbles about to start the mating ritual. Something not ever seen before by human eyes. After about two hours the creatures had managed to waddle up to each other. The purring sound stopped only to be replaced by a lower level "gib gib gib". Both Tribbles continued with this for about five minutes, suddenly the "female" gave birth to 10 baby Tribbles. Right in front of our eyes ! It was amazing and eveyone in the team was delighted with our success. We will continue our studies.

Day Fifty

Madness ! The Madness had started to effect us. Since our first meeting with the Tribbles they seem to have grown a likeing to us. It started with the cameraman giving his tamed Tribble called Phyllis small bites of food. Other Tribbles followed and within the week they had eaten almost all out rations ! Not only had they consumed our food but the'yre rapid multiplication has infested our camp. Tribbles are everywhere ! I can't even go to the toilet without removing Tribbles from thr general area. God help us, little did we know of the dangers these small furry creatures could cause.

Day Hundred

This may be my last entry.........Camera man and soundman both dead ! WE tried eating the tribbles but we found that after opening one their internal organs only conposed of fur, no meat at all. The Tribbles has taken over the whole camp......my will is crumbling. I have even tried shooting these vile creatures, but the more i kill the more appear next day. It is a battle i can't win. I hope my diary will help mankind see how dangerous these creatures are and how charity orginsations like the E.E.T should be banned, how can people help these evil beings.

Oh my, poor Tribbles being blasted. They were invaded by hostile bipedals,

Day One:

Tribblanne and myself saw each other from a distance and she let out the most amazing purrrrr I ever heard. We hurriedly raced to each other so that we could be friendlier.

Day Three:

These strange monsters appeared as Tribbleanne and I were about to meet, and our love would not disrupt us from our invaders advances.

Day Five:

Tribbleanne had 10 younglings; they are so precious, we need to make more!

Day Fifty:

These creatures that have invaded us keep kicking us around, they relocate us to various areas that takes us days to get back from. They move so fast!

Day 100:

They opened Fire! These creatures have invaded our territory, disrupted out mating, lured us in by feeding us, and then attacked us! We have been ordered by the Grand Tribble himself to reproduce and choke them out. This is the only way for us to win a fight.

TRIBBLES! TONIGHT WE DINE IN HE**!

wow the appearance of tribblnitaus! this is epic lmao

If you were to encounter a tribble, what would your reaction be? Would you go out of your way to ensure that it is not harmed, or would you use it as a tennis ball (do tribbles even bounce)? Should tribbles be awarded the same animal cruelty rights as other non-sentient beings, or are they mushballs in waiting, lets see what your views are on the issue, as most likely we will encouter these and similar creatures in our adventures.


If you catch a couple and turn a cargo bay into a caged in pen they become and unlimited food supply. :D

Never make a Tribble angry.

You wouldn't like them if you made them angry.

I would definitely want to make some Tribbles angry if I encountered them -- you know, just to see what would happen and everything.

tribbles make excellent phaser targets

No one knows what they look like when they get angry. There is no-one left to tell the story. GRRRRR!

I could imagine the horror as the Tribble heads in for attack. Allthough after waiting three hours waiting for the tribble to waddle over to attack the fear may have subsided somewhat.

Maybe Tribbles kill thier victims with chronic boredom !

Yes and we laugh even longer than it takes us to get to you (still laughing at your response).

We have a Special OPs Team similar to your earthlings GI Joe. Takes us an hour and a half. Man are they fast!!!

Keep it as a pet.

Keep it as a pet.

Aww, best response yet!

Tribble crewmates would be handy for mob control, beam a crapload onto an enemy position to limit there movement :)
