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

That sounds great, as I'll be done with my conference.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Thanks!

Two weeks is fine for me.

I just remembered Will and I are going on a short trip from Oct 8-11, but I should have access through my phone and be able to keep up.

PortalPolter-Cow, can you post a link to wherever he's setting up the Portal 2 co-op group? I thought it was going to be the post after the Portal 2 finale but he's just jumped into Dragon Age.....

Oh, huh, I didn't follow the Portal 2 reviews because I haven't played the single-player and didn't want to be spoiled.

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

It's time once more to sort out the crew, for Buffistica 16 - Doing the Pigeon. We have a five-person crew, presented here in character order:

Laga
Liese S.
askye
Polter-Cow
-t

The fleet will be travelling to Kobol, protected by Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus. There will be no Cylon leader, as there are five players. The game will include the Conflicted Loyalties and Cylon Fleet modules from Exodus.

Character selection starts now! Laga is first, and may select any character. Everyone else, you can send me COs if you wish. For general interest, here is a table of all the characters, and the number of times they've been selected to date:

Apollo: 6 games
Boomer: 6 games
Helo: 6 games
Cally: 5 games
Gaeta: 5 games
Starbuck: 5 games
Adama: 4 games
Baltar: 4 games
Chief: 4 games
Tigh: 4 games
Tory: 4 games
Zarek: 4 games
Anders: 3 games
Dee: 3 games
Ellen: 3 games
Roslin: 3 games
Cain: 2 games
Kat: 2 games

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

BSG

Ooh this is exciting. It was surprisingly hard to choose from all the characters and I was uncertain which ones I haven't played yet. However, I'm pretty sure I've never played Cally because I don't recall ever having the power to shoot someone in the face! So please welcome aboard Callandra “Cally” Tyrol.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Yay, we're off! I will play Roslin so all y'all can give me headaches the whole frakking time.

I'm a little sad we don't have a Cylon leader this turn. Quick, recruit somebody!

BSG

I'm a little sad there's no Cylon leader. I'll go for something different and pick the Old Man - William Adama.
