List Idea

I just had a thought for a new DITL list: Red Shirt Deaths. I think this could be pretty fun, though time-consuming. Then again, I have seen Graham musing that there's not too much more to add to the site...
Facts that I'd like to see listed:
Name (if given)
Cause of Death
Time of Death (measured in minutes from the beginning of the episode)
Location of Death

I'm sure there's more to add to the list, but that's what I've got so far.

That is a good idea. Then, for those who are really bored, we could do statistics, such as most common redshirt death.

This link was posted elsewhere in the forum, but I just thought I'd repost it here. Ask and ye shall receive, Stitch.

I think its a very good idea getting the forum posters to compile a list of Red Shirt deaths. And I'm sure there's other statistics about the Star Trek Universe that would be too time consuming for the DITL owners to compile on their own.

Even if the lists aren't ever gonna be comprehensive, we could add our own brand of fun to it. Maybe marks out of ten for say Painfulness of Death, Needlessness of Death, or artistic merit.

Perhaps something similiar for destruction of ships, or women bedded?

This is sounding even better. :)

You mean like, "Ensign Ricky gets 9/10 for the artistic merit of his death?"

That's a great idea!

I just got a mental image of some rock-strewn sound stage set, with a redshirt dying horribly and a panel of judges holding up scorecards. :lol:

BTW - Good lawdy, Stitch! Did you just change your av again?

"Mr's Gomez, I write to inform you of the tragic death of your son. If its any consolation, his death was long and extremely painful, and he scored more highly on artistic merit then any of the other Redshirts on his away team"

This could be very entertaining for all involved.
And yes Mikey, I changed my avatar at least four times yesterday. :)

So is this Sov and Defiant going to stay put for at least a week or so?
