Scavenger Hunt on Infinite Earths
Okay, victor, I realize it takes a certain amount of hubris to look at the entirety of time and space, both fictional and non, and say, you know, who I really want to be is me. But I do.
So I shall play myself, albeit a slightly fictionalized version of myself, one with a Marty McFly version of a tour bus.
I chose ella sprink as my nom du game, since it already exists in the world; i.e., as my author name back in the day in Nov. 3rd Club.
I very nearly backed out, as my schedule will be a bit wonky during the specified gameplay time, but it looks like too much fun.
Excellent! I was actually kind of hoping someone would play themselves when I threw the possibility out there!
Glad you decided to play. Once it's rolling, it's built to be flexible, so I don't think schedules will be that bgi of a problem. (And Lor dknows, there are no real stakes...)

Yes, I really was hoping we could get all the way there just so I could pull the rug out.
I fully enjoyed being an unrevealed cylon and having the accusations be baseful for a change. I found when I was human before, the more I tried to argue for my humanity, the more people thought I was a cylon. So I tried to keep my trap shut and it really worked! It's a lot harder to let the accusations slide when you're not actually a cylon.

One last thing I wanted to say about the game, everyone kept a brisk pace throughout, and I think the game really flowed and kept everyone's interest throughout. You finished a 39-turn game in almost exactly one month - that's faster than getting through a turn a day. Good effort, everyone.
Let's start planning game 15. I propose that Conflicted Loyalties and Cylon Fleet be on the table once more (unless the crew wants to omit either or both of them). Same policy as for the last three games re Cylon leader:
5-player:
out.
7-player:
in. Last player has to be a CL, if no one else has taken it already.
6-player:
optional. First person to put their hand up gets to be one; no problem if no one takes the option.
But our first order of business is:
who's in? We have GMs working around the clock to take your call. Post here or email me if you'd like to join in
"Buffistica 15 - the Admiral's Jodhpurs".
Players are beginning to claim their first items in SCAVENGER HUNT ON INFINITE EARTHS!

Terribly amused that the Smush-faced wax lion went first, followed in short order by the Flying Ford Anglia, the lost papers of Nikola Tesla and the Necronomicon. More to come, but I'm already terribly excited to see the stories. And there's still room to jump in!
