Yeah, as I said before I don't really have time for this with my other commitments (as well as impending fatherhood). Looks like fun though- good luck to you all!
Waiting on jdark and hylian. If they still have interest or not. If not , we can get a new thread going after I take a second look over the characters.
ok I'll try and get an IC thread up soon. Will look over the character sheets. Also may send you each a proboard link with private info (only your character would have). It would be easier to do *spoilers* but I'm not a fan of people potentially opening them up even if they don't act on it .
so this is a quick question. How anal are you guys gonna be about dates and such?
I can get things moving pretty quick if you're willing to forgive certain miscalculations especially if events ever coincide with the series and I have things happened that seemed like they were later or earlier in the series
Very fast if you don't mind me starting a new system, since the dates and such are awful for the BSG universe. (TPTB aren't clear about it and sometimes use regular month names, other times they don't. They also don't have year designations besides BCH (Before Cylon Holocaust) it seems.....which isn't that great...
I'm all for fast and loose so we can get the show on the road. I don't know much Pre-Robo-Apocalypse, so no worries from me. Just take all the dates BCH and add 3705 (or whatever) to them, and say that the flight from Kobol occurred that long ago.
so everyone looks in order. I have to clean up a few things, other than that we should be ready to go. Any questions/requests feel free to ask.
The game is gonna start out 3 days before the attack on the 12 Colonies. A inspection team has been sent due to a request made by representatives from 8 of the 12 Colonies. Capfalcon will be on board the vessel as one of the inspectors. TheMadjai will be escorting the ship safely onto the station.
Jdark, Hippie and Roman will be tending to their respective positions. Although the inspection is looming over all those in the Station.
If I can get Brief Appearance Descriptions also that would be great.

Andrew Arkanian - 6'0", 180lbs. Tall, short dark hair, lean muscular build. Naturally lithe, he's not a gym rat. His physical focus is on reach, stamina, and flexibility, not brute force. You'd find him in the boxing ring, but only to build up endurance. He's what some might call "wiry."
TheMadjai on
"Yeah, TheMadjai knows whats up." --Lardalish
CURRENTLY PLAYING:
Android: Netrunner, Warhammer: Conquest, Star Realms
Nathan White - 6'2", 210 lbs. Tall and imposing, dark blond buzz cut. Inquisitive blue eyes. In his prime he was obviously very physically fit, now with a less active roll he is definitely showing signs of age (getting soft around the middle).
Ron West-5'9", 175 pounds (thin wiry build), 49 years of age. Shortish, dark hair that is just beginning to show signs of grey but isn't showing any signs of receding. Wears stylish rectangular glasses with thin/no frames and is generally clean shaven. Usually wears a business suit (minus the blazer), occasionally covered by a lab coat, if he is in the lab.
Donald Timms - 5' 10", 230 (Just getting overweight)
43 years old.
Thick, dark brown hair and clean shaven.
Wears a good-looking black suit that is just starting to look a little worn out.
Always carries a briefcase filled with legal documents.
Carries his reading glasses in his inside jacket pocket.
A bit of a warning. A few changes had to be made to the History of the BG-verse for the story I had in mind to work . Change may be a harsh term, since its adding to the history as opposed to outright altering it. Although one could make that argument since in the series there is a sort of implied "We all lived peacefully until the Cylons came, la la la".
Addendum/Revision
Caprica is largely held to blame for the Cylons. Not only did scientists of Caprica create the Cylons but the largely Caprican run government ok'd their implementation.
The Government of the 12 Colonies was established through less than ideal means.
A) Low Resource Colonies (Aerelon,Canceron) or Colonies Devastated by War were forced to turn to the wealthier colonies for aid(Leonis).
Colonies who leaned toward the extreme right or left were forced to comply due to the force that was Caprica, Aquaria, Virgon Scorpia and Picon. (Gemenon= Theocracy, Libris= Isolationists, Tauron= at war with itself)
Government was Installed through somewhat brutal means (Saggitaron; although this was hinted at)
ok should have things to go , hopefully pretty soon. Sent a few of you pms to check if certain things were ok, or clarify something.
If people have any requests (equipment or info wise) let me know..other than that I'll assume you're all good. And start to work on getting the IC up by say.... Friday or Saturday.

sadly a problem with the heat in my apartment building,l had to leave temporarily since it would have been torture, will go back on tuesday. i can answer questions in the meantime.
apologies for lack of caps, problem with make-shift keyboard
I have two cats also so they weren't doing so well O_O was a bit worried about their health until it was resolved.
If you guys missed it, I posted a bit more on how the game may differ from "Galactica " series. I'm gonna also go post something on the proboard to give you more of a heads up . Since a few things have changed , in my opinion, for funs sake.
It recently got fixed. Have to get the pets back in. Other than that I'm mainly debating/finalizing minuscule things such as character names. Because you want characters to have cool names, if I happen to make a guy named Thomas Hanker who turns out to be the Big Bad...
Well a bunch of people referring to Hanker just doesn't seem that cool.
*(Apologies to anyone who may be named Thomas Hanker and stumbled upon this via Google search)
...
(O_o Hanker is a fine name...it just lacks of the gravitas of say a Caine)
Since you guys are gonna start off in different areas and its fairly likely it won't be a one time thing. It would be ideal if you put a header at the top of your post indicating where your character is. It doesn't have to be an abnormal size or anything. You can be as fancy or blunt about it as you please. It just makes things a bit easier to read. In my experience at least..
Also just wanted to reassert you shouldn't feel forced to stick together if its unnatural. .
Will edit this into the OP, but I forgot to put it in and I perhaps erroneously (or maybe not) thought you all know about it. But Invisible Castle is a good site for any rolls your character is making.
