Hi

If you have not filled in and sent us the google form included in the All About UNO thread, unfortunately it means that you have not signed up.

If you sign up now, you will be on the reserve player list.

I was up late watching De Minaur win in the 4th round (yay) but not late enough to see the teams open. 😁

I have filled the google form about 1-2 weeks ago but I wasn't aware that I was supposed to send it and that's why I haven't.

Once you complete the form you just hit submit and then you will see your details in the Google sheet.

You aren’t showing in the sheet so perhaps your internet was flaky that day - for whatever reason your details weren’t submitted. You can do it now and then check your info is on the sheet and then you will be a reserve player. Generally we need all the reserves as real life happens and sometimes people find they can’t play after all

Kelly (Maybedog) (maybedog) | 154 comments These are the greatest team names! Doctor Who?! I've seen every episode of Stargate Atlantis (I love Rodney McKay, too!), Torchwood, Farscape AND my own assigned Firefly at least twice and I'm not a re-watcher. Red Dwarf is the only show I've seen more (probably 5-10 times per earlier episodes.)

Galaxy Quest is one of my favorite movies, ever, at least 5 times watched. "Look! I have one job on this lousy ship, it's stupid, but I'm gonna do it!

Oh, to be obnoxious, it's Doctor Who not Dr Who. :)

Ditto on the Dwarf! I am 100% certain there is a Red Dwarf quote for every occasion πŸ˜†

When I did my degree in film & tv, my main tv lecturer stated on the first day that he didn't like sci-fi. I made it my personal mission to change his mind. It was a dual onslaught of essays featuring Red Dwarf and Battlestar Galactica that did it! He started watching and became a big-time convert😁

I can be very persuasive when I set my mind to it. Probably a good thing I decided not to go into politics πŸ˜†

Just a note that while you may see that Teams Battlestar Galactica/The Fifth Element/Interstellar are open, please don't go and post there, until you are invited by the Captains!!
Thank you. 😊

Kelly (Maybedog) (maybedog) | 154 comments Cap'n Jack! "Fancy a good time? I'm not fussy." I can't remember my favorite quote exactly but someone says he's gay and he laughs and says something like, "Oh you humans and your quaint little categories."

Kelly (Maybedog) (maybedog) | 154 comments Sorry this took me a while. I wasn't going to play but now I'm back.

Here are books I read in 2024 that I recommend. Most aren't more than a couple of years old but a few are many years which in this genre is a lot. Note that they are all M/M.
