Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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 thinking maybe we should see if Team Human can win one before we start throwing extra complications into the mix.

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

Note to self: don't pick Apollo this time.

Should we make an announcement in Press in case there are interested parties who don't keep up with Gaming?

Do we need another player or something?

We do. We currently have four confirmations and two expressions of interest, so let's see which way Drew and Pete decide. (Jooooooiiin uuuuuuus.)

I'll have to pick up a copy of the game too, I still haven't purchased it. I put it on our wedding registry since I didn't expect to be playing it before January. When are you thinking of getting the game rolling? This week I'm loading in a new show at Universal Studios so I'll be pretty slammed for the next 48-72 hours.

I was thinking sometime in the next 48-72 hours. The first step is picking characters, so we likely won't get the action underway for a little while yet. (You're all welcome to send me a list of preferences if you want.)

I heartily recommend getting a copy of the game, but it's not necessary to start off.

Jooooiiiin uuuuuss
