I thought the finger pointing was all part of the game.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Me too. But I'm new to the game.

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

The finger-pointing is part of the game, though it's not always easy to avoid taking it personally. (Especially when there's in-character language choices and out-of-character language choices.)
In the meantime, has the president played ANY quorum cards?????
The President has drawn three Quorum cards so far. None have yet been played. Anyone has any questions about the Quorum cards (generally, I'm not going to say what's in the President's hand), feel free to drop me a line.

Ok, Apollo has moved to the Admiral's Quarters, and initiated Brigging Baltar II - The Briggening. We will pause for interrupts, Investigative Committees and/or Scientific Research. Everyone, please post whether you play or pass. We'll start the Skill Check after 12 hours. If you want to send me COs for the check, feel free.

Hey guys -- let me apologize if I have been a pain in this forum. I know I'm an unknown quantity, but you have all been very kind to me as a newbie to the board and I appreciate it. I have only ever meant any of my comments in the spirit of the game; never about any of the players, and I am truly sorry if I have ever come across otherwise.

Likewise, everything I've posted under the BSG banner has been in-game, rather than personal. But *I* tend to take BSG stuff personally, so please accept my apology if anything I said crossed the line.
This game can get nasty around a table. I think it's even tougher this way, with no expressions or body language for the accusation/denial/counter-accusation cycle, and the extended timeline.

based on the article in Wired about Catan, I'm guessing BSG was not a German Board Game invention.
Hopefully I wasn't being too dickish. I was trying to keep it in game (Apollo, Mdm President, etc), not Laga, Raq, Sean, etc. If I was too personal, please forgive me. Was not my intent.
ION (BSG) related. I have a house guest arriving tonight. I had the game set up on the living room floor (most space to spread out). But that is where the sofa sleeper unfolds. It sure was fun transporting the game to the dining room table. That must have been fun to watch.

It's not, it's American. Also, you did not offend me, omnis.
Our game is set up in the gaming room. Which is great, except the sprog can reach it, and is obsessed with the little vipers and raiders.

I have the game set up... in my brain! And a spreadsheet. But mostly the brain thing.

Just to be clear, no one offended me or upset me. Nor do I have a problem with the paranoid nature of the game. The heightened emotion did get to me a little bit, but that's it.
