Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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!)

Thrive to spite them

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

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

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!!!

I'm in!

It was interesting playing Six. A big chunk of the game is figuring out who's a Cylon, so not worrying about that can be both liberating and distancing. I'm not sure about the personal agenda thing, it feels like I'm playing a separate game inside the game? Does that make sense?

Anyway, I recommend it at least once.

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

Yes thanks for another great game, BillyTea!

Our crew so far:

askye
omnis
chrismg
Polter-Cow
NoiseDesign

With five players we have a viable crew; however, if we get a sixth player to sign up, then we can have a Cylon leader. Anyone else want to join in?

Buffistica 13 is fuelled and ready to fly, which means it's time to select the crew. I've randomly determined the player order:

Polter-Cow
chrismg
omnis_audis
NoiseDesign
askye

P-C has chosen Louanne "Kat" Katraine. chrismg is up next. Everyone else, if you wish you can send me COs for your character preferences.
