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

I'll probably have to sit out this next one unless we start after the 15th.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Playing with a Cylon Leader was certainly a change- I like the edge of uncertainty for the game but it seems like playing the cylon leader is trickier than playing a human or cylon. What's it like not having a team, chrismg? (autocorrect wants to call you charisma, btw)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That was a very fun game, but I think I'm going to stay on the sidelines for the next one. Unless I have had enough of resting up before it starts and decide to jump in again, I can't rule that out. Game time decision, as they say. But I don't have any input on timing or rules to offer.

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

This was a good distraction, and helped remind me there is more to life then work. So, count me in. (Helps that I won...with the excellent help of my Manchurian Candidate!)

(good thing I proof read, especially on the iPad..."count me in" said something quite different. Whoa!)

If anyone hasn't played and is thinking about playing I say go for it!

billytea not only gives you all the info you need, but he's really really helpful and you can ask him anything in email and he'll answer and also give options or examples

He is also endlessly entertaining.

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

100% of toddlers living at my house agree!

Even if he lets you fix half the fraking fleet when you are a Cylon!

Seriously, it's a little intimidating at first, but BillyTea is an excellent resource, very patient, even if you ask the same question 3 times a few weeks apart. Gives great class handouts to help you delve into the world. Please! Join in! I'd happily give my spot for a newbie, if needed.

And just because I don't think I said it at the end of the game, a big thanks to our awesome game master!!!! Thank you BillyTea!!!
