Plans for the next game: I have an assignment and a couple of other bits and pieces to take care of right now, so I'm thinking we start in about a fortnight's time - April 9 or 10. This will also work for P-C, who's fleeing the country. He should be back by the time we start.
In the meantime, I've the same questions as last time:
Who's in for another go-round? Any former players, whether in the last game or not, are most welcome; so too are any newbies who'd like to give it a shot. Post here or email me.
What version would you like? Options:
1. Standard Pegasus, just like the last couple of games.
2. Base game, like all the games before then.
3. Standard Pegasus plus the simple Exodus elements.
Those are the ones I recommend. If people want to extend things further, I could also offer any of:
4. Add a Cylon Leader.
5. Add New Caprica.
6. Add Conflicted Loyalties (Exodus).
If you'd like to play next game, send me as many preferences (in order) as you'd like.
We have a couple of weeks to sort everything out, so feel free to think it over, and any questions, just ask.

I'm fine with using the version we've been using (hell, it's going to be weird playing the base game in real life after this, it seems so much more simple with so few cards!), and I'd be interested in trying out New Caprica or even Cylon Leader (but not both, let's not go too crazy).

I'm in for next game. I'd be interested in adding the Exodus elements. But I'm up for whatever people want to do.

Status report on preparation for game 8: we have four players who've signed up so far. There's still over a week to go before we get underway, and there are up to two more places free.
Preferences so far:
Polter-Cow:
Pegasus. Would be interested in adding New Caprica or a Cylon Leader.
Liese:
Exodus.
-t:
Exodus.
Laga:
Pegasus. Second choice: add a Cylon leader.
So we're currently running more or less even between sticking with Pegasus and adding Exodus. My own preference is adding Exodus bits, as they're not much more complicated (it's considerably less of a step up to Exodus than it was to Pegasus) and it gives me more Crises and things to play with. Ultimately, though, it's player's choice.
If any newbies would like to give it a shot, we'd be happy to have you on board. We offer excellent support, and it can be quite an experience. If anyone has any questions about the way it works, there's plenty of time to ask.

I'd be up for adding Exodus stuff for more Crises and things to play with. Plus then nukes will finally blow up civvies like we always think they will anyway!

Strictly speaking, the new nukes (now with added devastation) are only part of the Cylon Fleet expansion module. (Along with a bunch of other stuff, including souped-up vipers and the CAG title.) Certainly not proposing we do that, it adds a lot of complexity; but once we have a crew together, we can discuss whether people would rather use the new nukes anyway.
Holy crap! My roommate was just slaughtering Ewoks at the battle of Endor and now he's fighting Han and Chewie. I do not approve!
With you on the Han and Chewie thing, but I've been known to take Palpatine in Lego Star Wars and Force Lightning the crap out of Ewoks and/or Jar Jar to blow off steam.
I walked in the room and he said, "You may not want to watch this."
I said, "Why, is Jar Jar in it?" I'm in favor of violence against Jar Jar.

"So what's with that magical fisting thing you do?"
"Umm... uhh..."
"You know, when you put your hand in people."
"It's a talent."
"You could make a lot of coin with that."
