Hey gamers, nascent gamers, and general sci-fi-ish type people. Or, you know, just anybody. We just finished up a round of our thrilling version of Battlestar Buffistica over in the Gaming thread. Accusations were flung, lives were lost, and puns were made.
Want in on the fun? The next game is set to begin, so if you're interested in checking it out, stop on by and say so. Just want to watch? I bet you could convince gamemaster extraordinaire billytea to send you game updates along with the players.
You don't have to own the physical game to play, although it helps. bt is great with newbies, so even if you haven't gamed before, this is a great entry. You just need to be able to check in once a day or so.
Come on in, the water's infested with potential robotic overlords!

Lurkers? Do support us in email.
(I know this is cryptic, but Stompies, I swear it's relevant to general 'Ffista interest. Needed to be said in this thread to be seen for sure.)
And is secretly AWESOME.
On behalf of Buffistas, thanks. A lot.

Fixed. Sorry about that - trying to do too many things at once.
Jesse! You are next on the Nail Polish Round Robin!
But your address on the list is blank; please send me and I will get it off to you, today, if you see this and reply before I leave, or tomorrow.

In Bitches, we have been discussing a Makeup Round Robin Box!
Please e-me at my profile addy if you have question/would like to participate.
So far we have four people on the list; if we can get it up to 9 or so, I think Project Makeup Round Robin will be a go!
Chicagoistas! Who wants my 2 tickets to the opening of A Christmas Carol at the Goodman, November 27th 6:30pm? First person to email my profile address gets 'em.
edit: Tickets have been claimed.
REMINDER! F2F proposals are going on now! We'd agreed to close the initial proposals on the 20th, which is in five days. Anyone else want to propose a West Coast site?
I thought I'd announce that we're just starting the next play-by-forum game of Battlestar Galactica in the Gaming thread. This is the eleventh game we've played here. BSG is not only fun to play, it also makes for an exciting spectator sport, especially since the format allows for some role-playing too. Any lurkers who'd like to watch are very welcome to do so (quite aside from the fact that we couldn't stop you even if we wanted).
