I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I'd like to play. I'm only hesitating because watching y'all was sometimes very confusing. I think I might need to get the physical game to really see what's happening. Which is not an insurmountable obstacle!

It can be hard as a lurker because you don't get all the info we get in emails.

But rest assured, I will keep everyone informed as omnis and billytea did before me.

Of course, you could always come into The City to get the lay of the land (and cocktails).

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

I haven't had a copy of the game this whole time.

Oh, that would work. OK, I'm in.

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

I'm in. Go on, act surprised.

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

Shocked! Mystified! I didn't know William like to play board games, did you?

The last BSG game I played on boardgamegeek was a gambling game. The moderator got everyone to stump up 2 geekgold; the pot was split evenly by the winning team (which I was on, so I won myself a shiny new geekgold). He used it as a mechanism to ensure people who signed up were engaged and willing to check in regularly.

Oh! And tomorrow is Melbourne Cup Day, Australia's premier horse race. I get the day off, because Melbourne understands priorities. (I drew a horse from Hong Kong in the office sweeps, which seems appropriate.)

Clearly we must fear the prospect of you turning Cylon, for we shall be unable to penetrate your dastardly wiles in games of deceit.
