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.
I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

Then NoiseDesign finished me off in the Texan map of Risk.
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.

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

move out and draw fire
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.

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

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?

I played Ticket to Ride: Europe today. It was my first time playing a Ticket to Ride game. It's not as dumb as I thought!
