NOT BSG, but game-related.
I play Echo Bazaar (Fallen London, which has a Fay connection) online, because I like the atmosphere.
They've been having problems recently. This is the blog post apology, and part of the reason why I love the game is this writing style and attitude from the developers:
"God, it was slow last night, wasn't it?[1] And we've had some outages. You've noticed. What's going on?
We've moved to a new hosting service. That's the thing about server moves: you know they're going to cause more pain and swelling than you expect, but even so you don't expect *that* much pain and swelling. Like Hofstadter's Law but with more blood and error messages. At the same time, we're seeing higher than usual player growth (which is part of the reason we moved), and we're having to work hard to keep ahead of it.
Anyway, you'll have noticed it's much quicker today than yesterday. This should be a trend, and the longer outages should be behind us. Should. We're getting there: just a little further. Sorry about that. All shall be well.
[1] UK night. US daytime. Which is pretty much the problem. :-)"
Oops. Sorry about that. I will try very hard to remember to bold things, but probably will forget some of the time. I'll keep apologizing, though.

Everything's coming up green! I don't think these unsettling stories stand a chance.

Don't be too sure, I checked one of the stories. They took Goldilocks and replaced the three bears with furries.

The furry mafia is no match for my leadership skills!

We shall call it " The Furfia".

I'll take 2 Green as well.
Also, retract my previous COs.

That's orders from everyone. The draw:
Support the People
Gaeta:
2G
Starbuck:
2G
Dee:
2G
Roslin:
Y/G
That is indeed a lot of Green. I'm out and about at the moment for Australia Day; I'll send everyone's cards out when I get home, and we'll start the check. Gaeta is first to play, and I have COs from him.
BSG
Does anyone have any thoughts on how much overkill we should aim for to compensate for our unseen Destiny? I can't figure that out well enough to leave COs.
