You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I now have character choices from everyone, and there are some interesting results. It is not possible, this time around, to give everyone their first choice. Three people chose a pilot for their first pick; no one rated any military leader any higher than third pick. Alas, then, one pilot-preferring player will have to make do with their third choice. Consolation prize, the Admiralty and two, count them, two nuclear warheads.

Please welcome the crew of Buffistica 7, shown here in their randomly determined player order:

Liese S.: Samuel T. Anders
Laga: Admiral Helena Cain
Polter-Cow: President Gaius frakking Baltar
-t: Sharon "Boomer" Valerii
NoiseDesign: Callandra "Armed and Dangerous" Tyrol

I like where this is heading. Everyone except Anders begins with a starting draw of 3 cards, taken from their regular card draw. Everyone-except-Anders, please either post here or email me your choice of cards. After all the cards have gone out, Anders will lead off the festivities.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

BSG

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

BSG

Oh, my. Well, this will be interesting.

I'll take 2R and 1B

I was so confused by your card draw. I have to get used to the fact that you're not Roslin anymore! Huh, none of these characters were in the last game.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Wow! That is a fascinating lineup! Guess none of us were going for the usual suspects!

I declare it to be a crew made of awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out.

That just leaves Cally's draw and then we're ready to start.
