Ms DeathQuaker, I'm afraid your e-mail addy is not in your profile. Please be so kind as to send me an e-mail so I can get this party started.

BSG

Look at y'all. Already accusing each other of being Cylons. You aren't even aware of the pending destruction. But just you wait. I have lots of mayhem up my sleeves. Your worlds will be rocked!

(by that, I mean to say, in a sleep deprivation state, I have the file started, the card draws pulled, loyalty cards picked. I am waiting on DQ's e-mail to e-mail you your card details. BT- my physical game is still packed, does Quorum cards get picked at start? I seem to recall 2, but want to be sure before I click the "draw random quorum card" macro.

OK, off to bed for this newbie GM. Somehow, I can't help but feel like dork, as I mentally skip around the table taunting "I know who is hue-man!" Heh. I'll save the childish taunting for when the bullets start to fly.

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

The President starts the game with one Quorum card. I think the spreadsheet deals it automatically with the set-up.

negative, that was the confusing part. OK, I'll deal the President one card. Thanks.

I did not realize I had email hidden in my profile. I've emailed you omnis, and if anyone else needs it, it's deathquaker at gmail.

Tigh HAS a sense of humor (especially at the beginning), as long as it involved ragging on other people. When he wasn't starting fights with lower ranked officers and throwing them in the brig.

Speaking of which...

All mirth rapidly evacuates his face as Boomer rapidly retreats to the Armory. "Try that again and you'll be behind bars! And our Raptors'll be in better shape for it!" Shuffles off, muttering about meeting the "president." "Frakkin' terrorists and mouthy pilots... why I let Ellen talk me into accepting this promotion, I'll never know..."

There are a few things that wouldn't be that hard to program automatically that have been left out of the spreadsheet. (Moving ships around is the most annoying thing.)

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

Hey I'm the president! Pay no attention to prior convictions.

omnis you know I prefer my gmail, right?

Is it the same as profile but with gmail instead of yahoo?

(Moving ships around is the most annoying thing.)
Right, you have to click the ship and say move to here or some such, right? Ah the joys of new tracking sheets. Whee.

I've emailed you omnis,
I saw it in my INBOX. When I get home, I will absorb it into my file. Thanks!

BillyTea has some wonderful docs about the game, if anyone is interested. I think it's the rule book in electronic form and what not. He can e-mail them to you if you want.

Let's not forget to keep a BSG header to posts in here, to help them pop for us, and for those not interested in following the game, so they can skim.

We also had discussion in an earlier game that BSG was for in game actions, while bsg was for person-not-character observations/questions/quips.

OK, I should be working. More tonight.

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.

BSG

Now, as I recall, Zarek and Chief Tyrol were the Cylons that game...

Actually, it was Apollo and the Chief.
