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).
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

All is well that ends in pizza.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.
