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

Firefly the boardgame. Still conflicted about this game but I do believe you can criticize something and enjoy it at the same time. Does anyone else own a copy? Do you think it would be possible to run an on-line game?

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

As we enter the new year, I'm back at my job full-time, we're getting Ryan ready to start at school, I've signed up for two online courses from Harvard (Chinese history and computer programming) and I've got four library books still unread and mocking me from the bedside table. Oh, and I'm trying to pull together some stats analysis on BSG games on boardgamegeek. Naturally, this is the time that I'm starting up on organising our next BSG game. I propose to run it using the same elements as we used last game (including Daybreak and the other expansions, with optional modules limited to Conflicted Loyalties, and Cylon Leader if anyone picks one).

Time to decide. Who's in for the twentieth flight of Battlestar Galactica? All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again. Post here or send me an email.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm in with the same stuff.

I'll just heckle from the sidelines this time.

Thrive to spite them

I'm in. I'll probably be able to participate more since I'm not constantly working weird hours.

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

Ouch! Quit twisting my arm! I'll do it!

Ok, that's four sign-ups in... a touch over an hour. Clearly you all have a problem and are in need of professional help. All I can offer is a frantic chase across solar systems by a gang of homicidal robots, which should at least put your own issues in perspective.

Our wings are not tired

What the heck, I'm in. The only big thing on my calendar right now is a trip to Belfast at the end of February where my connectivity might be suspect.
