You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I was pretty tense there a couple times but I think never having played the game irl, it's harder for me to visualize how far we are from winning.

It is so much easier for Team Human if there's no cylon at the start. I don't tend to pull my punches before the sleeper phase (I figure I'm more likely than not to stay human) and if we all play that way it makes it so much tougher for the ones who do turn out to be bots.

Both Cylons turned at the Sleeper Phase

Ah! So all pre-Sleeper suspicions were completely unfounded. I know there were times where I felt like we didn't have a Cylon at all; I was right!

On a wider note, IMO a human walkover also makes for a rather dull game.

And it lasted TWO MONTHS.

Even if the humans had an easy time of it, I sure did enjoy using Apollo's AVP ability! And I finally got to use an OPG!

I think this is my first game where I stayed human the whole time and didn't use my OPG.

Thanks again for DMing, BT. I like winning, even if it wasn't as nail-bitey as it could have been.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

BT, you rock! Thank you for GMing!

Good game everyone. Was it two months? wow.

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

It was indeed two months or so. On which note, I'm attending a conference in Sydney later this week, but after that I can start the next game whenever it works for the players. Let's start getting the crew lined up. Who's in for game 10? How's everyone's availability?

Game 10? Wowsers. I'm in, but as always I will step aside to make room for someone new who wants to have a go.

Our wings are not tired

I'm in. My time might get a little constrained during the Halloween installation next month, but I won't be on a ship, so it shouldn't be too bad.

Maybe I won't be a cylon this time. You know, for a change.

I will still suspect you.
