Quark Apprecation Day

Post by Mr Bean »

While we all may have our diffrances and our problems at the end of the day when writing a story or planing the conquest of a Unverise in the end who do you turn towards?

Quark

When you don't know where you are and need a map which Gas Station do you stop at?

Quark's

When you have a job that you need done and need somone to do it who do you go to?

Quark

If world domination is your game but your not sure where that world is who do your turn towards?

Quark

On the basies of these and many other reasons I wish to prupose an Offical Quark Apprecation day that hopefuly will unite all SW, ST, B5, And yes Even Culture and 40k Fans togther under one banner to celebrate for one day the nice helpful Big eared Guy that is Quark

Do I have any seconds on the motion?

He was the best darn actor in all of DS9, despite having a ludicrously one-sided character.

He was a dirty, underhanded, thief who smuggled arms and ran a seedy bar.

In other words he was the best ST character since Kirk.

Q for his quickness to exploit you
U for his unending lust for wealth
A for his avaricious nature
R for his rip-offs, cons and scams
K for his keys to destroying the federation that he sells to any expansionistic empire which comes from another sci-fi universe to obliterate Star Trek
put them together and it spells QUARK

and now a paid advertisement on behalf of our sponsor:
Are you a galactic dictator?
Do you have Legions Of Terror that are currently not gainfully employed?
Have you just not had the time to obliterate those self-righteous hewmons that dominate the federation and cut into my profit margin?
Well have I got a deal for you.
I understand how difficult it can be to find a decent information broker, depending on your circumstances, it could take you years to find your way to my bar after traversing the wormhole, ripping a gap in space-time, getting dropped here by Q, whatever.
Well, now your troubles are over, as long as you buy my new book: Quark's Guide to Conquering the Alpha Quadrant on a Whim. Included are maps painstakingly gathered by starfleet for a hundred years describing every star, planet, gravitational anomaly, and wierd swirly glowing thing they have ever encountered. No longer will you have to spend years carefully mapping routes to swoop upon innocent planets. Nevr again will you have to overwork your intelligence department doing threat and technology assesments. Also included, for no additional cost that you are aware of, is a complete technology assesment of everything implausible device ever used by starfleet that they have completely forgotten about after the crisis has passed. All of this and more can be yours for only 100 bars of latinum, or equivalent, and 10% of all earnings ever gained as a result of this conquest, annexation, police action, genocide, whatever. This may seem expensive to you, but just think of how much you will have saved in time and resources by simply skipping the first couple of tedious steps, and getting straight to the looting. Do the smart thing, let me help you out,

Quark is more reasonable character compared to all Starfleet officers combined. Consider this:
- Quark is motivated by MONEY
- Quark is greedy
- Quark is *not* politically correct
- Quark makes his decision based on profit and loss

Of course, in Berman & Braga's Star Trek communist propaganda, such character is easily stereotyped as "evil".

Weyoun was cooler, but that might just be because the actor (whose name I can never remember) played Harriman Grey on Babylon 5, HP Lovecraft in Necronomicon, and the spectre of the insane doctor in House on Haunted Hill... :D

I've never seen DS9, but I'd support the Idea, since Quark is the closest thing Star Trek comes to Moe Szyslak from "The Simpsons"... imagine the phone pranks people would make....
