I thought I'd announce that we're just starting the next play-by-forum game of Battlestar Galactica in the Gaming thread: billytea "Gaming 1: You are likely to be eaten by a grue" Oct 6, 2012 4:30:11 am PDT. This is our sixteenth game. BSG is not only fun to play, it can also be fun to watch. The game includes space battles, deception and betrayal, and 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).
Hey peeps! In honor of Delurking Month, why not help support the board? As you know, we don't charge anyone to post, but it does cost $99/month to run the board. Whether you're a regular poster or not, if you have any extra funds this month, consider sending some of it my way for board maintenance!
You can paypal to donations at buffistas dot org, or email me (same address or any other, I should get it) for my address to send a check. Note that I moved over the summer, so if you have any earlier address for me, it's wrong now.
Thanks!!
PEOPLE!. - I am late getting this announcement out....BUT.....IT IS TIME TO START the sign up for the Annual non-belief system specific winter secret gift exchange! ANSSWSGE for short (this year, each year it is slight different, it seems).
Please email me at b.org.msbelle AT gmail.com if you want in, you will get an invite from elfster - YOU will need to get your address info up on elfster (only viewable to whomever draws your name) and then you can lists likes/dislike/wishlist/other random info. Any questions?, email me.
If you want, you can read my contribution to the the Daily Kos KosAbility series [link]
I sent out the first elfster invites for ANSSWSGE 2012. Here are the other important dates:
Sign-up deadline is 10/28 Drawing names (done electronically - you cannot have who you had last year) will be 11/1 Gift Giving Deadline is 12/31
And as I do every year I encourage people to communicate or gift multiple times and generally mess with your giftee. Otherwise it is just me doing that and it ruins it.
This is my firend Carolyn's kickstarter. Small business -- that is looking to get their own kitchen and employe a few people . This is the seed money for the kitchen. Donate , spread the word , or just torture yourself by looking at pie.
