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

Update on planning for the next game: we now have four players signed up (Laga, -t, Polter-Cow and NoiseDesign). Pegasus is currently the option leading in the polls. The game will be starting this coming weekend at the earliest.

We have room for one or two more players. Anyone else interested? Veterans and newbies are both welcome.

This is worth a look. Over on boardgamegeek they're running a LOLcats game of BSG: [link] Occasionally hilarious.

Update on Buffistica 7, we now have five players signed up: Laga, -t, Polter-Cow, NoiseDesign and Liese. There's room for one more, if anyone else would like to sign up before we set sail. We won't be starting until ND's back from the current cruise work, which means after this weekend.

Meanwhile, going on current votes, it looks like this will be another Pegasus game, using the same rules as the last game. If no one has any objections, we'll do character selection via preference lists again. We can start on that now. Everyone who's signed up for the game, you have the list of possible characters. Whenever you're ready, you can send me your list of preferences for this game.

Does a five-person game still have two Cylons?

Yes, a five-player game has two Cylons but no sympathiser. (We played the 6-player game under the no-sympathiser variant anyway, which changes the nature of the difference. Under the standard rules, the 6-player:5-player difference is sympathiser:no sympathiser. Using the variant instead, the difference between is handicap:no handicap. (The handicap was lower starting resources and Cylons draw more cards.)

If no one else signs up, this game will be:

5 player
2 Cylons, no sympathiser
Standard starting resources; revealed Cylons draw 2 cards per cycle.
