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).

FYI:
If you are getting "captcha" codes when posing videos from YouTube to Facebook, add "&feature=related" to the end of the YouTube URL.

Just want to check to see if anyone else wanted to propose a West Coast city for the F2F. Given the delay that resulted in proposals ending right before Thanksgiving this year, Pasadena was the only city with an official city before the 20th deadline, Javacat proposed a retreat--anyone else? Last call before voting.

Slacker Secret Santa: All of you who want to exchange presents with other Buffistas but haven't mailed the nicest about it yet, this is your chance!

Please send your info (board name and snail-mail address) to my profile address until the 10th of December. By then, I'll match you up to pairs of givers and recipients, and let you know which is who.

Even though it's titled with the word "Slacker" in it, you do remember that we voted on a gift-deadline of March, right? It doesn't mean you can't slack, just that there's a limit to it. Hope it's OK.

F2F Voting!

Hi all! We are about to start the voting process over in F2F. Despite a lot of chatter about many exciting West Coast options, we’ve only had two official proposals:

Java Cat has proposed a retreat at Asilomar: Java cat "F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us" Nov 25, 2011 1:49:24 pm PST Date and price TBA

I have proposed June 15-17 in Pasadena: Pix "F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us" Nov 27, 2011 12:07:49 pm PST

Once we get the final details from Java, we will vote! Head over to F2F for discussion.
