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

non BSG ! Imagine that!

Seems I have a 2nd date with cute GeekyGameGirl, and it's game night with her friends! pressure? Nervous? what? me? what makes you think that.

Anyhow, it looks like they are playing Dominion. Anyone familiar with it? Good/bad? Strategy tips, so newbie doesn't look like a complete idiot. Did I mention they are all Mensa members?

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

I've never played it, but it was hailed as the Next Big Thing on BGG when it came out. It's settled in at number 6 in the game rankings there, which is extremely high - in short, it seems to have a lot going for it. The most common complaint I've seen is that its replay value falls over after a while for a lot of people - not a problem you'll likely face on your first play.

It's a deck building game, I think it tries to capture the feel of CCGs. You can find reviews, strategy articles etc here: [link]

um. Did I miss something. Results of said detector? And, Player BC seems to remember that the character doesn't have to be honest with the result of said test, is that correct?

All the stuff I posted takes place automatically regardless of what Dr Baltar reports, so I didn't want to hold things up. You are correct; Dr Baltar is not obliged to tell the truth, or indeed to say anything at all.

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

Sorry I was at a seminar all day. I met an Indian immigrant who recently lost her job because it was outsourced to India.

Yep. The only player not currently in the brig is a cylon. And by the way, we also have one in this here cell with us.

I'm tired of playing Conquer Club with strangers. Anyone up for a game? (I've so far won only 2 games, so your chances are pretty good!)

Jess, happy to play you again.

Damn! He's a toaster!?! What can we do from here?

It's of the US Senate. In true idealistic fashion, there are no spoils (as if THAT would ever happen in the US Senate!)

Well, I recommend that on your turn you try to get out of the brig.
