move out and draw fire

Yeah, you can call him Robert or Random...he'll be logging in here as Random McNasty.

Be gentle; he's been a Buffista widower for years now and is a bit appalled that he's finally signed up on the board.

BSG

I thought about taking Roslin, but the only game I've played where she's been a character, she didn't do anything due to the cancer. I'm interested to see how Sean plays her.

Also, I can haz nukes!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

AKA Raq's Husband

Well, according to Raq I'm not just a Buffista widow, I'm also a sociopathic introvert with Luddite tendencies. I would argue this point vociferously if I weren't alone except for the subaltern who I need to type this in by candle light from my original Spencerian script draft.

P.S. Sadly, subalterns are not made from stern stuff anymore. Please notify me via cablegram if you find any transcription errors in this "posting", so that I may beat him more vigorously than usual.

Yeah, Random, you're gonna fit in just fine around here.

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

Welcome Random! Ya, you'll fit in wonderfully! I look forward to Gallacticaing with you. (is that a word?)

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

Well, according to Raq I'm not just a Buffista widow, I'm also a sociopathic introvert with Luddite tendencies.

The good news is, Saul Tigh is still available.

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!"

I think of it as a quarter-staff, though admitedly wielded oddly. Still, the stick has won me many a match.

Check out this one from tonight. This was a rematch of shield vs bear. I knew the guy had a bear but he won our first encounter by a whisker and I was determined to give it another shot. [link]

This is quite a battle. No one-hit kill here.

IOmybruteN, here is a SUPER close match: [link] What the heck do you call that thing? Sledgehammer?

OMG, you were lucky.
