I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

I'm on the fence. I loved the game but I'm not sure I have the time.

Are you introducing Pegasus? If so can we just airlock Apollo immediately and save us all a heap of time and trouble?

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

Dooooo eeeeet. Seek vengeance.

Pegasus is a pretty significant jump in complexity. Does anyone else here own the expansion? We could maybe do a transitional Pegasus, leave out New Caprica and maybe the Cylon leaders. What's the preference on this one?

Meanwhile, I have an email from Kalshane, he's in too. That brings us up to four players.

Well, that'd probably make airlocking a much less pleasant experience for him then. You might also have some explaining to do with his dad.

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

I'd prefer to keep it simple since I don't own the game but I'm willing to try the expansion if y'all are patient with me.

ND expressed some interest in playing.

Our wings are not tired

I'm very interested, but if the games runs long there will be a week of radio silence while I'm getting married in Hawaii the first week of January so I'm not sure if I should join in.

That's ok with me. As reasons go, it's a good one. This game will most likely run over Christmas and New Years (unless you all die before the first jump), and I pretty much expect the occasional delay there anyway. If everyone else is good with it, I don't mind.

Yikes that long? Ya there will be some radio silence from my end Starting Jan 3rd. For the first 3 to 6 days will be nutty. After that, hopefully the system will be working well, and I'll be bored and wanting to play twice as fast.
