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.

Omnis, you need to return to MyBrute.

I keep picking on you... with mixed results.

How is it working for you? It still says Technical maintenance for me! Glad to hear it's mixed results, unlike FPS games on the xbox, where you kick my a$$!

It seems to go down at least once a day. I think the game became more popular than they expected.

I got in a few rounds before it went kablooee.
