/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Bit of a mouthfull tbh. Starfleet probably went with 'worf' cos the surname field was 25 chars max
Centuries in the future and government is still using a 25 character maximum for string data. Actually yeah, that tracks.
Siddig el-Tahir el-Fadil el-Siddig Abdurrahman Mohammed Ahmed Abdel Karim el-Mahdi. No wonder he switched to Alexander Siddig
So the isolinear chip stores a lot of data...
Hell, Enterprise D's 3 Core computers we suspect to hold ~483,840,000,000 TB to 3,870,720,000,000 TB depending on which canon reference you use.
They could store Worf's full name.
Had to make room for Riker’s porn folder.
And his music sheets for his trombone.
It's not so much that the computers are incapable of storing it. Turns out the Starfleet records system just depends on a schema an intern implemented at the UN in 1997, and no one's had time to migrate it since then.
Yeah but then they have to fax it to corporate, and with such a long name, it's such a bother.....
ZFS could manage that. You might have to split his name over a few files though :/
BTRFS and immutability might be better, given how unwieldy it is and how often it changes.
Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings
but that raises further questions. Why isn't it "Alexander son of Worf, house of Martok, house of Rozhenko"?
Because Alexander rejected his Klingon birthright.
this continues to raise further questions. When? At what age is he allowed to do that? Source?
When he turned 18.
As of now I'm deciding that the Rozhenkos are from Vinci, Tuscany
Worf, son of Mogh, House of Martok, son of Sergey, House of Rozhenko, bane to the Duras family, slayer of Gowron da Vinci
Chamomile tea? Laaaame, what is he a Vulkan? Shoulda offered her prune juice. A warrior's drink.
He's working on his Zen thing, man.
Worf, Son of Mogh
Through TNG/Early DS9. Later DS9
Worf, of the House of Martok
100% accurate.
The warrior formerly known as Worf, now just the symbol of a Bat'Leth
He is Worf, son of Mogh, father of none.
Worf, son of Mogh, house of child abandonment.
Alexander identifies more with his human upbringing, so he uses a more human name
Fair but he's missing out on 'Alexander, son of Worf, house of none as he keeps getting shuttled about, bane of all that is interesting and fun... "
Maybe its a warrior name you get when you pass into manhood. Nom de guerre... Son just has not earned his?
I suspect you are correct.
