omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

But, dang, Darth Nane is insane! [link]
The flail is awesome. But coupled with Fierce Brute. Oh lordy. Just hope it doesn't waste that trick on a dog like Pete did. Oh, and one of my brutes has a dog AND a wolf. That wolf is AWESOME!

Yeah, the wolf is amazing. I like it better than the bear.

The other problem Darth Nane may face is if she gets more weapons, she'll reach for the really effective ones only as often as the others. It can be frustrating, but that's all part of the game.

Oh, forgot to mention. Team Fortress at 9:30 Central time is good for me.

I may be late, but I will I'll be on time.

However, due to all kinds of work shenanigans today, I'll be limiting myself to 2 hours probably.

Would you like to start an hour later? That probably be useful for me.

10:30 central is fine for me. Anyone else joining?

It doesn't look that way.

We'll run through a few more things and then head into an actual game.

I also put out a call on LJ and I'm going to give a few more people the TF2 101 in June.

Our wings are not tired

I haven't had a chance to even pick up the game yet.

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

I was wondering, would anyone here be interested in joining in a PBEM game of the Battlestar Galactica boardgame? If so, I reckon I'd be able to run one. I'd like to run it on this thread if everyone's agreeable.

No big deal, ND. We'll be trying it again in June.

I'd be down for it, BT. Would the game end up taking over the thread if you ran it here?
