I didn't create the troll. I didn't date the troll. In fact I hate the troll. I helped deflate the troll-- All done.

See, when I check my news feeds first before coming here, I end up forwarding stuff around to people who will also probably see it here.
So, sorry about doubling-up on the Wave thing, although I didn't squee largely about the gaming aspect in email.
Who wants to work on a dice-rolling app with me?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
ION, I managed to leave work early enough to find and make it before they close, to the comic book/game shop! Woot! So, I am now the proud owner of the BSG board game!!
Excellent. And we now have five people in the game, which means we're ready to start! I'm sending out an email to the players; meanwhile, I've generated a random player order, as follows:
omnis_audis
Raq
Sean
Laga
Raq's Husband
The first step is for everyone to choose their character. Omnis, which character do you want to play?

Bear vs Pissed-off wolf? You bet'cha. FIGHT! [link]
a. The charge of an attacking bear is hilarious.
b. Is there any weapon more ludicrous than a stick to poke people with? If you could program brutes, I would have his battle cry being "Get offa my lawn!"

Hi group. As mentioned in the email, some of us are novices, and I fall into this category. I'm going to take a stab at picking a character. I choose Sharon "Boomer" Valerii
I'm curious how this will work. I look forward to the fun!

Excellent choice. We have the Brig warmed up for you. Raq is next. As O_A chose a pilot, you may choose any character except a pilot.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I hate it when my brutes choose the pointy stick. I mean - you have an AXE and a SWORD! Why are you using the fucking STICK???

Well, that throws me out of my comfort zone playing Apollo or Starbuck.
So I choose Bill Adama.
