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

Well, that's the question. It's likely to increase the volume a fair bit. The existing discussion here tends to be a few posts of back 'n' forth at a time, though, which may be able to coexist pretty well. I think BSG makes for good spectator sport too.

Nonetheless, if there are thread participants who don't want in on a game, and don't want to have to deal with its addition to this thread, I think we could manage by email. A forum such as this is ideal, but not necessary. Or, if people are willing to give it a shot here, we can see how it goes and move it to email if it becomes a problem.

On other matters, do you either own or have access to a copy of the game? The reason I ask, I know the makers aren't willing to have game text posted publicly. I can post some things, certainly enough to identify crisis cards drawn, but not others (such as the pass/fail outcomes on the crisi card). If you have a copy of the game, that'll go smoother. (I'm pretty sure I can email players privately with more info where needed, so it's not a dealbreaker.)

tonight just wasn't my night. First Pete gleefully kicked my ass in OrangeBox (not unexpected, but I did give a run for the money on a few maps). Then NoiseDesign finished me off in the Texan map of Risk. And lastly, all of my Brutes got their heads handed to them. :: sigh :: at least I had fun.

For those of you wondering at home, ND, o_a and I played three games. I won one, ND won one, and o_a won one. Very amusing. We'll see how that record keeps over time.

I just started two new games guys.

Anyone else want to come over to conquerclub and join us?

I'm happy to join, just be aware, the next three days, my response time will be sluggish, as it's strike of the final show, and we have to clear our "storage" area so the kiddies can have summer acting classes in every corner of the building.

I'd be interested in playing BSG on line but I don't have a copy of the game and I'm no longer able to log in from work so I have a lot less time on line these days.

I am interested in BSG and my DH might be as well...we have a copy of the game. What do you have in mind as far as running it?

Not really true. You gave me a tougher time than you realize, and if you'd been more familiar with the maps it would have been closer still.

My idea is that I'll run the game rather than play, so I'll 'shuffle' all the decks (i.e. use the randomiser function in Excel to sort them all). I'll send player-specific info to private email addresses, and for public information, post it either here or (if we don't use this thread) send it to all addresses. Likewise, player discussion will be public.

We can work around not having a copy, I think. Having less time online is more of an issue, but if you log in at least once a day it's probably workable. I'd also encourage any players to make use of Conditional Orders (sent privately); e.g. "If we try to scout, I will/will not play Strategic Planning").

To give a further idea of how this might work, an example of playing BSG via forum can be found here: [link] (They're actually up to their 8th game on boardgamegeek, they've proven immensely popular). I don't have Photoshop, so I won't be able to provide the graphics.

So far I think we have Sean, Raq, maybe Raq's hubby and maybe Laga. Anyone else? Anyone not interested in playing who has an opinion on using this thread for it?
