Much like twitter itself, the anarchic twitteRPG seen here continues to evolve and captivate in unpredictable ways despite its many limitations and erratic uptime. Twitter's capacity to support diverse forms of communication and creativity far beyond its stated purpose has garnered a lot of attention, particularly for those uses that are collective and emergent -- fictional characters included. While the remarkable coterie of Mad Men twitterers have deservedly gotten the most press, our Battlestar Galactica network also hit the blogosphere, where Infocult described it as "on the chaotic end of Web 2.0 storytelling, with authorship and IP fairly open." If you'd like to hear more about my experiences with the project, here's the videoblog:

One of the features twitter lacks is the capability to view an aggregated friendslist (for an account other than your own). As a workaround, The Hybrid has been archiving the ongoing narrative in favorites. This is not an ideal reading interface, however, so as a joint effort of myself and pirateygoodness we hereby present the first almost 400 individual tweets in a single-page, top-down installment. If you survive the scrolling, you will witness the organic development of a completely insane and largely frivolous experiment in collaborative fan writing.

NB: Inclusion of tweets is discretionary based on their contribution to the story. This is not a complete record of all tweets by all characters.

This post contains 40 images under the cut and is NOT dial-up friendly. You can view them one at a time in order in this gallery.

galentyrol @leoben missed at the altar ceremony. @toryfoster @samanders & I had a great time with @cylonhybrid in the tub. 6:27 PM Aug 3rd, 2008
* duplicate tweet by @samanders should read: "That was the only part of being a Cylon I was actually *looking forward* to at first!"

I AM HAPPY TO PLEASURE SERVE AT THE PLEASURE OF LAURA ROSLIN (and her beloved devotees).

Thanks! :D

Your batshit-crazy, drunken, space pirate regularly has me falling out of my chair. So THANK YOU for the EPIC LULZ. Easily my favorite Saul Tigh ever.

When the actual episodes air, has it been discussed whether it will be live-twittering, like the finale, or post-episode twittering?

Oh I agree! The series is standing on the boiling point. There really is no way around it. Canon is practically begging for crack. XD
