Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I've been having waaaay too much fun with a little game at mybrute.com.

Come! Face my wrath! [link]

Pete, I joined. Strange game. As you really don't do much but choose an opponent. BTW, you kicked my ass. Alas, you were level 4, I was level 1. Now I am level two, and must wait for tomorrow to fight 6 more rounds.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

That's odd, it says only 3 matches for me tomorrow.

I acquired an axe and puppy. I guess that's good.

IOGameN, I think I am addicted to Flight Control on the iPod Touch.

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

Come! Face my wrath!

I did. You killed Lagaaaaaaaaaa but good.

Well, yes, I crushed you all, but it is only right for the Master to show the way to his pupils.

Yup, you are all classified as MY pupils.

As it is, I created two others, Laughing Snake and Death Spigot. Now, Death Spigot is INSANE. He started with a throwing star and most people barely got more than three punches in. Then he got some kind of crazy rabid wolf and no one has knocked him below half health. He is a monster!

Strange game.

Yeah, but it gets more entertaining the higher you go as all kinds of crazy powers kick in.

That's odd, it says only 3 matches for me tomorrow.

Yeah, I think 3 is the default after the 6 game start. I guess Tournaments are where it's at.

the only way to win is not to play?

Well, that's certainly true at the moment as we seem to have broken their servers.

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

For those with an interest in the Battlestar Galactica boardgame, boardgamegeek.com has seen a number of online games begin. Copyright issues mean they can't print the full text of any material, but they still give a great feel for the game. I've found it to be great spectator sport.

The player interaction and commentary is located here: [link] (they spoil the outcome in the header). The board state of play is shown here: [link] There are another five games still in progress too.

Were it not for my recent changed circumstances, I would propose running a game on this thread for interested Buffistas.

Was just playing nettrek. Yup, still suck at it. Died many times for unknown reasons. It's better in a computer lab with friends.
