Yes, he did. Thanks for asking.

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

Good lord. I just looked at the BSG spreadsheets for the first time.

I think they scare me more than the idea of Meg Whitman as governor.

Hello! Thank you!

There is a lot to track at any given time. Having done it on the spreadsheet the first time. I'm torn between which is better, live on the table, or spreadsheet.

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

Just to keep track of the current BSG situation, I think we've had the following sign-ons:

billytea
Kalshane, but will stand aside to make room for newbie influx
omnis would rather sit this one out, but will sign on if needed
megan walker is currently wondering what she got herself into

Anyone else thinking about playing in game number five? New players are welcome, as are veterans of games 1-4.

I sent a couple of emails to potentials, but have yet to get a response.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

When would the game start? I'd like to play (without the physical game) but I will be well and truly smoked until after Thanksgiving.

For myself, I would be fine with the game starting after Thanksgiving. (I have an exam on the 23rd.)

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

I'm in.

Me too, especially since I'll be in the mountains for a few days before that and then chez PixDesign (where I think I could log in but still).

Hey everyone - I'd love to join in but I'm so far beyond busy these days that I don't know if I could realistically make time for it. Also I've never seen the game in person and only know vaguely how to play from following this thread.

I was actually thinking I might take a few pictures of the board and such so that people could at least have the basic visuals of the game in front of them.

I think the time aspect is more a question of be able to check in frequently than actual time spent thinking about and playing the game.
