Except that's the point, they will not be having fun. Nor will you, nor will any of the other players. Because that setup is not fun. And presumably you're hosting a game for your friends with the intention of everyone having fun, so it's best if you find another tact.
To me, it felt like the episode mattered because you got character development. It's the first time we get to see exactly how Odo and Quark's relationship works, and we also get to see Quark's..."unorthodox" problem solving style, in contrast to how federation weenies go about things.
Nope, no, that’s encouraging their behavior. Now your player thinks you’re giving them a quest to earn enough money to play out their brothel scene.

You absolutely do not have to RP this. You can say "No." You can say "Ok, you go off and do that, what's everyone else doing?"
Today is a good day to die.
Tell Bashir to get the cortical simulator ready, I'm going in.
They've all programmed their replicator profiles to include "Ethanol, 22.5ml, Chilled" in all orders they place containing the word "synthehol"
Definitely the worst thing that happened during those years.
What's more fun, demoting pluto or announcing the discovery of a new planet every week for a couple years?
brb, converting my 401k to gold to attract an adorable baby dragon
I see, thank you. That sounds like the kind of common-sense thing that I will never be able to convince a manager of XD
I'm not one of them, but I empathize with all the GMs that are just sick of dealing with those particular kinds of misconduct that crop up with new players.
Cover your phb in spray adhesive and leave it sitting on the table. As soon as someone touches it, shout "ROLL INITIATIVE!"
Actually, apply this to other random objects at the game table. A bag of chips, 1 can of soda in the fridge, every 3rd pencil, whatever.
I'm not confident I'm remembering correctly, but didn't she have a line to the effect of "They can courtmarshall me if we make back"
Not a very high quality article. Makes constant reference to "faction and domain play" without adequately defining the terms for someone that didn't grow up with them. (Presumably, the target of the article.) And a lot of typos.
Addl wisdom: some people make jokes when they're uncomfortable, as a defense mechanism. If you have a player or players constantly trying to lighten the mood, consider that the atmosphere you're trying to create may not be a good fit for your party, and/or parts of your party may not be a good fit for your game.
I understand, but also, please don't. As bad as it is right now, the world is still a better place with you in it. Call or text 988 if you're feeling suicidal, there are people there ready to listen and help.
