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.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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

I still have the email with the links to copies of the the rules and the board. I can forward it to anyone who needs it.

Actually, Laga, can you send that to me? Whenever we get started I'll also send that out to participants (with the additional FAQ file as well if that's not part of it).

Thanks!
One thing I was thinking of for choosing characters was using our survey software here to pick characters rather than doing it in turn order, i.e., people would choose a 1st and 2nd (maybe 3rd?) choice of character and, as long as they spread over the necessary functions, we would be good to go.
And if someone isn't happy with what they get they could let me know anonymously and we could go back to doing it in turn order.
I just remember that since I went third I could only choose between Adama, Tigh, and Helo. And, since I really didn't want to be Admiral in my first online game, I went with Helo, which I was happy with, but would have liked more options.
