Most of these questions/issues will be rhetorical, since you all won't be able to answer without spoiling me.

1) My first and only issue with BSG! It annoys me when there's a big crowd or gathering of cylons and we see only models we know are cylons. There are 12 of them, right? At this point I know... um, five or six of them. Why the heck when we're in an occupied city full of cylons do we only see the ones we know? Walking down a street, sitting in a cafe, I'd think the other models should be around as much as the ones we know... (I know they're doing it to keep it a secret, but it doesn't make sense...)

2) Since unfortunately I know the Chief is a cylon, and the other cylons must know he's one of the models, he's had a baby with what's her name, so there's a human/cylon baby for them right under their noses in the new occupied city... (And as much as it annoys me knowing that spoiler, it sure did make one scene amusing. When the Dean Stockwell cylon was talking to Chief about Chief thinking he was a cylon, the Dean one said something like "Because I'm a cylon and I never saw you at any of the meetings". Heehee.)

3) What the heck is up with Admiral Adama's mustache? *UGH*

I'm watching too fast. :( I'm on the third ep of season three. I'm going to be caught up soon, arg! Then what will I watch?

Oh, and "frak" has to be the smartest thing ever. It stands in so well for a curse. With so many characters being military they really do need to curse, and "frak" feels so right to the ear. It actually feels like a better curse than "fuck". "Fuck" is a softer sounding word, "frak" is nice and hard and sharp.

I get very few invites on BLU, only one since I hit 50. So when I got a /tell tonight in all JP squiggletalk with a "60" in the middle of it, I got excited. I replied through the translator that I didn't speak Japanese and asked {Party}?.

No reply. 10 minutes, 20, 30... I gave up. So many JPs won't party with NAs, I figured this was one.

After 45 minutes I got another tell from him asking in broken english if I'd mind a JP party. I /cheered at him and we gathered. (I'm guessing he wanted a JP, but couldn't find one so settled for me.)

Sheep in the Mire he /telled me. I went all o.O .

I've been out of XP circles for a while. I've never done 60-70 in random parties before. But I've never heard of anyone XPing on sheep in the Mire or anywhere other than the Dunes...

Beggars can't be choosers, so I took the invite anyway. Through the translator and his best effort at English, he explained to me that I'd be soloing the fleas. Don't melee, just cast spells on the fleas. o.O

Surprisingly it worked. We got up to chain 40-something. With my XP band on, the high chaining fleas were ~500 XP. o.O

However, while the XP was good (14K/hour without band), it was easily the most exhausting party I've ever been in. It was like being on ultra-stun duty for hours on end. I had to head butt fleas as soon as the sheep WSed, then solo tank/kill them. When things were bad, I was trying to kill 2-3 of them at a time by casting. Hello interruptions!

Got two levels in the party though, so yay!

Unfortunately I may have missed out on RP. :/ We were supposed to continue tonight, but we were still waiting for someone at 6 PM, so there wouldn't have been more than a couple hours of it at most. Still, I had wanted to RP! Oh well, maybe tomorrow

zzzz
