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.
BSG
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.

Whew. You ok over there? Had me worried last night.
I am playing Fable 2 at D&K's place. I kind of want to start over now that I have a better feel for it, but I also don't want to have to go through all that early crap again.
AAAARGH! I keep casting spells and freaking out villagers by hitting the B button reflexively as an "Exit Dialog" button. Which it is not. It is the Cast Spell button. Except when it's an Exit Screen button.
I think you can see why I keep getting confused.
Sean is me with video games. This is why I rocked on the Atari 2600. One button. One joystick.
I'm loving the GTA-in-a-fantasy-world-ness of Fable 2.
