Wow, I'm surprised the Humans got this close. They've been dying for 2/3rds of the game. Thanks for the entertainment!

Quick wrap-up. Congratulations Cylons, commiserations humans. that was the tightest and hardest-fought game we've had in a long while. Team Human was just two turns away from victory. (Thus: Apollo XOs Cally - he would've drawn an XO - who ditches her Personal Goal. As he's in the Brig, no crisis card to cause further damage. Then on Cally's turn, she hits FTL Control for all it's worth.) And this despite the following headwinds:

• There were two Cylons from the very start of the game.
• It took the first three jumps just to reach 3 Distance.
• Two humans wound up in the Brig.
• Each human player started in Sickbay at least once during the game.
• By game end, all twenty raiders had appeared on the board.

Finally, of course, humans spend pretty much any Galactica game dying slowly (or not so slowly). The question is whether they reach Kobol before it happens. This game clocked in at 55 turns. That's a long time to try to stay alive.

I think part of the reason the humans kept going for so long is that - the twenty raider comment notwithstanding - you did much better at keeping the Cylon fleet under control this game. It only got out of hand when the game was about two thirds of the way through, and even then, you managed your jump timing to minimise problems.

Nonetheless, the Cylons got over the line in the end, and Chiefbot sealed the deal with two visits to Caprica - each of which gave him the option of a Current Player's Choice card with automatic Morale loss. Worth noting - the Cylon Fleet toys are a lot of fun, and there were lots of toys to play with, but Caprica can still be a powerful option for the Cylons. (Incidentally, game 2 ended in much the same way, with a Cylon Chief using Current Player's Choice cards from Caprica to win the game. There were even two Cylons from the outset in that game too.)

Frog Fractions.

Just play it. Trust me.

Did I just watch the last ever episode of The Guild? I may have got a little choked up. Must go play DDO now.

What! Last ever? I'm an episode or two behind. Has Felicia said this is the last season? Or did today's just feel like a series finale?

It felt very final to me. Also it's called End Game. I haven't heard of it being the last season but I'm not sure where they'd go from here.

Must go play DDO now.

Don't break the pot!!

Whoa, huh, yeah, that did feel like a series finale at the end there. Maybe Felicia is going to focus on her Geek and Sundry media empire instead.

BSG: I've been leaving things for a while before positing game 17: Nilly In Space. I figured we could all use a break around the holidays and such.I wanted to gauge where people stood now. Anyone eager to get another game going? Prefer to wait a little longer? Potential players, let me know where you stand.

I am always game.
