My quarantine beard would suggest not

86% Sisko, 85% O'Brien, I'll take that combination!

My highest Trek was Garak followed by Nog in the high 60's percentage wise... and O'Brien about 61% I think. Should've taken a screengrab of it (oh well). DS9 is my favourite Trek series and those are 3 of my favourite characters, so pretty happy with that.

Only a matter of time before we have a DS9 werewolf game. I'll keep you in mind!

It's my fav trek too.

Sansa for me had the best story arc in the series and turned out to be the only really likeable character leftover

Davos no?

Ok you've twisted my arm, the repeat ST game can be DS9 themed! I was just about to start another attempt to watch Enterprise but I could be coerced into rewatching DS9 instead.

Considering its not only my favourite Trek, but my favourite show ever, I could probably be coerced into such a game of Werewolf.

Noticed that there is a more in-depth version of the quiz with 121 questions, if you change the settings on the drop-down menu on the landing page. Still got Lester Freamon and some of the others are also still quite high up, but probably a much more accurate list overall...

Matches you to TV characters...

I got Eric from that 70's show and Leonard from The Big Bang Theory.

We're quite alike then, they're in my top three results. :cool: I'm fairly happy with Eric Forman tbh, he's witty, intelligent and handsome, if slightly (very) awkward!

Not sure about my #1, I didn't like The Great Gatsby (the book I mean, I never saw any of the film versions) but I guess he's the one of the less loathsome characters in it.

As for the rest, I know nothing about Bruce Banner other than that he's the Hulk - what he has in common with Milhouse is beyond me.
