And if you want it back, come tell me. Cos I love us.
In other news. YOUR FLEET NEEDS YOU.

I need to recruit some people to BSG21 in SecondLife. Now, this isnt me looking to score points through a referral system or anything, I just love the place. And we desperately need more roleplayers. Basically the cylon attacks have just recently happened, so now is the best time to get involved. It's an interactive RPG. The place is phenomenal. So much pretty, and flying the vipers and shooting cylon raiders is the best feeling. The flight system is a work of genius, it takes actual skill and concentration to fly the birds.
You can be civilian, military, cylon (or two out of the three ;D). Marines, pilots, government officials, toasters, are all needed. At the minute we're in space just above the colonies, doing supply hit and runs. A decision is close to being made about the next step.
All info, news reports, details, can be found at http://www.bsg21.org
I am hopeful that b# you will come join the fun! I am currently a viper pilot by the name of Leigh Kaestner, so if you or anyone else has any questions, just gimme a buzz here or on secondlife.

I'm going to watch the S3 final 3 episodes!
Go and spam my journal with your thoughts :D

bsg_awards

Right nuggets,
in case you hadn't noticed ((as a lot of you actually didn't)), bsg_awards is open for the next round of nominations.
I'm back of hiatus, and will be 100% committed to this comm, but I need your support.
In the time we've been using for R&R ((instead of nomming)), there has been a mass of stunning BSG icons released.
And not to brag, but it seems all of the members/watchers here are a talented bunch.
So to inspire some nomming, lets have a little recc post.
Feel free to add some reccs of your own to the comments.
Maybe we should make this a regular thing?

Special Category
by wurlocke


..it was stupid removing the 'funny' category!
My icon says so!

Where has the fleet gone?

I've had an idea recently (shock horror) and feel free to tell me if it's ridiculous.
Basically, I was thinking that in order for more member participation/chances to win/more fun, members could opt to join the colonial fleet or the cylon fleet. It would be super secret, and each week I would tally points from each side. Points could be gained through nomming, voting, winning etc. Hence the super secretness, so no cheating.

Also considering a member of the month type thing.

What do you think?

Please re-read the rules.
Nominations are open. This nomination period is open until Saturday 24th February 11:59am GMT.

The special category is End of the World OTP: Best icon of Six and Gaius. May not include other characters.

Remember Season 3 spoiler icons must go behind a cut with a spoiler warning. Episodes up to 'Unfinished Business' have free reign.
((Updates will continue throughout the nomination period.))

bsg_awards

- Categories have been condensed and renamed.
( further info under here )
- New userinfo

((this post will be updated throughout the day. Its purpose is to keep you up to date with the refurbishment))

bsg_awards

on my complete lack of followthrough *so to speak* you can check out my personal journal. I am so very sorry.

Nominations etc will be open later today. Wait for the post.
bsg_awards

is definitely happening on the 7th January 2007.

Happy New Year everyone

.




Thank you all for your patience.
bsg_awards is still hoping for volunteer banner makers and perhaps co-mods.
If you are interested, please comment to this screened post with your
name: LJ and real
e-mail:
application for banner maker/co-mod/nomination checker:
relevant experience (if none, just put none cos there's only one way to learn):
why you think you would make a good mod here/why you want the job:

I apologise for this, sincerely.
Nomms are not open yet.
Unfortunately I had to work yesterday ((and ended up leaving my dog outside and the back door open while noone was in the house- that's how scatterbrained I have been)) and today. And now I'm going to a concert.
And tomorrow is my birthday so I don't foresee getting online.
The other comm ((for winners info, banners, admin stuff)) is also not ready just yet, so perhaps this is a good thing)).
I will keep you posted. Hopefully this delay wont be too long.
So sorry about this.
Hope you enjoyed watching BSG ((I haven't had time to acquire it, never mind watch it)).

We are continually accepting submissions for winners banners.
Any size. Must include the text of the category name and 'bsg_awards.'
It would be great if any of you could provide some.
I'm currently making at least one for each category, but I'm not the greatest artist, and variety is the spice of life :D

As you all may remember, the reopening of bsg_awards for nomms is in 4 days ((6th October)). Bearing that in mind, I have been taking suggestions under consideration and wanted to get some general feedback.
So it's question time again.
I apologise, this should have been done earlier but I've been really sick :(

Are you happy with the categories the way they are?
Would you prefer to have less categories/a more condensed range ((ie put best colouring and best black and white together))/Would you prefer to have the special category run for two or three rounds rather than a new one each round?
What is your least favourite category?
Do you want to be able to nominate actor/promo icons in every category, rather than having a specific category?

Following the results from this, we may have a category culling.

new round over at bsg_lims
May be some great nomms for you guys, and also inspiration to make pretty icons.
