Why do I play Catan on Live? Idiots abound! Dude soldiers me instead of 1st place dude. Then trades with him so he can win. Ugg.
Hell, I don't know. If I had wanted schooling, I'da gone to school.

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

There's room for up to two more players. If you want to sign on, let me know.
If it looks like we're going to be short, is it worth asking elsewhere in B.org?
Someone should give Miracleman a kick to see if he's interested.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I'm in if folks are up to dealing with someone who doesn't have the game and the hilarity that is bound to ensue from that.

I think BT's comment in post 3741 still stands; it's less convenient but not a deal-breaker.
BT, did you have some kind of basic game doc that you sent out to the new players last time?

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

I did indeed. And I now have takers for the last two seats, i.e. Kalshane and Laga. We'll be starting in around a week; in the meantime, have a think about which character you might like.

Hubby just opened his new Space Hulk (from Games Workshop, for those who don't know the oeuvre). He's geeking out over the new miniatures, which are, admittedly, cool. He says he hasn't felt this delighted since Christmas when he was ten years old.

BT, I'm wavering between Tigh, The Chief or reclaiming the sullied name of Apollo. Are characters chosen in the order of play like in the rules or do you do something different for online?
Connie, I'm jealous.

I'll be going by the rules procedure, so I'll assign an order randomly.

Yay! New game!
And Pete, when you're not dying-of-deadlines, some Monday evening we (you and I) should hit the Victory Lounge, which has BOARDGAME NIGHT. $1.50 beer, food, and table space specifically to pay boardgames. Apparently Catan is the #1 favorite.
We should get them to play BSG all the time. ALL. THE. TIME.
bt - what're the chances of having Pegasus involved? Maybe not this game, but at all? :)

I can safely say the chances are minimal until they send some damn copies to Australia. Once I've had a chance to play it, we'll go from there. I don't think it'd be a good idea with newbies - it looks like a definite step up in complexity.

There are so many better games available now. Catan deserves kudos for ushering in the new era of Euros, but it's been easily surpassed. They must be educated!
