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".
I'm in!
Me too!
BSG
Me too.
Not this time, sorry.
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!

Status update on the next game (Buffistica 15 - The Admiral's Jodhpurs): we have five players confirmed. Waiting to hear from the last couple of invitees, and then we'll be on our way.

We have our crew! This will be a six-player game, heading to Kobol. We will use the Conflicted Loyalties and Cylon Fleet modules once again. As we have six players, we may have a Cylon leader (if any of the crew wish to play one). If no one wants to take that option, we will instead use the official No Sympathiser variant.
Files are going out to our crew now; and this crew is, in order of character selection:
Polter-Cow
-t
Liese S.
Laga
