In Conquer Club, I just eliminated Omnis from two different games in a row.

Omnis will never speak to me again.

It might be a mercy killing, Sean. I must confess, the nature of risk + whining of players (myself included) is wearing thin. Once this round of games is done, I'm going to take a little hiatus from ConquerClub.

I understand how the game can have that effect on people. And taking breaks from it occasionally is probably a really good idea.

ya, and no offense to anyone, but InfidelKiller... um, how to say? Dude is paranoid, and comes off as really desperate. His current "alliance" option is "I don't share any borders with him, but I think we should stop attacking each other and go after him". Huh? How will you do that????

You guys crack me up. And Omnis, sounds like a break is a good idea, especially since you don't want to be caught hanging around with a toaster.

Not a break from BSG, a break from Conquer Club.

I know you're taking a break from Conquer Club, but you're playing it with Sean, hence the toaster comment.

What, you can't handle cross-game humor? Need your brains re-fragged?

I think they are fragged enough. Wait? so ? you are saying Sean is a TOASTER???

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

Sean said as much. So what's it gonna be? Send Madame de Toast to the brig or attack a basestar?

Ya, I know, that was a tired attempt at sarcasm.

BSG

I'm torn between going to weapons and trying to attack a basestar and brigging the other toaster. That said, I'm not sure what it takes to brig her, and if I have any cards to help in that endeavor. I'd hate to waste an XO if we can't pull it off, and you two can only play one card, and Mdm Pres can play as many as she wants.
