Just wanted to mention for those who remember when we actually held elections that yesterday, Nov. 10th, was the 15th anniversary of the founding of Gold Squadron!!! 1998, what a yahren when it all started.
The squadron was begun as part of the Int'l. BSG Fan Club. We were allowed to have an online chapter which we called Gold Squadron. Shortly after that, we got enough members to form a battlestar and the Callisto was the result.
Can't believe it's been 15 years since those fun days on the SciFi bboards....great memories...

It doesn't feel like 15 years... back in the day of taking the Callisto Entrance Exam... and Capt. Charybdis and Lt. Brie and Ensign's Skyler and Amy... When Gold Squadron were made of members that had joined, or were trying to join the Official Fan Club and Black Squadron were the members that had not joined and were not planning on joining the Official Fan Club, that folded up and disappeared... I think our first RPG mission was flying escort for the shuttles bringing supplies over for the expansion of the pilots quarters or something... It was the first time I flew with Amy... I have made some great and very dear friends in this group, and even if we are not posting at our former glory, we are still alive and active and members posting, and we are still making great friendships. Long Live Classic BSG...

Actually, if you notice the date on the first post, it was from 2004!!! We go back quite a ways!!
OMG, the entrance exam!! I totally forgot all about that!! New members had to pass an entrance exam in order to qualify for officer status (what happened if they failed? I can't remember!)
Ten questions about BSG...I think everyone passed it...

IF my old IBM Aptiva still worked (fracking Hurricane Isabel) I had a Callisto Folder that contained every email from anyone in the group including the Entrance Exam... It was ten questions about BSG, and I passed it with no problems.
I also had my "writers bible" folder with every tidbit of BSG info in it I could find, from a write up on every original episode, characters, terms, even a copy I found online one time of the "writers bible" they used on the show, and i added a Callisto Only section with all of our characters, both PC an NPC. I stuck it all in Lotus Word Pro and printed it off and stuck it in a three ring binder and added to it when needed. It was quite thick in the end... wish I still had it (FRACKING hurricane Isabel). I tried to find the original writers guide, but all the MooreRon felgercarb clutters up the search. It was so much easier when there was only ONE BSG.
But I have one better.. I still have you guys...

One thing that can help is to look up above this thread and find the NPC list. It has a bunch of the names that we had used for other characters that anyone can use in the storyline...

I think I remember my 10 questions from the entrance exam...
1. Who is Imprious Leader?
2. Who was Captain Apollo's father?
3. What was the name of the battlestar Cain commanded?
4. Where was Starbuck found?
5. How many Colonies Of Man were there?
6. Who were the Cylon's?
7. Who was Commander Cain's daughter?
8. Before the attack on the colonies, how many battlestars were in the Colonial Fleet?
9. What planet were the Ovions from?
10. If accepted to the Callisto, which squadron would you like to join? Black or Gold?

Not everyone did past the entrance exam. They were given a second chance if they didn't, which included some major hints. No one failed after that.
None of the people who failed stuck around very long.
