You can all just call me Feel...no, you can all just call me Lix...no, you can, you can. You know, just pretend I don't have a first name.

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

I was going to call you Leapin' Louie, louche leg-lacking lounge lizard of Libron's dive bars, pleasure palaces and speakeasies. I can't speak for anyone else though.

While I think of it too, everyone except Boomer also starts the game with three cards from their regular draw. You can either post or email me your choice of draw. (The card draw takes place after everyone receives their loyalty cards, so if your loyalty matters to your draw, you can send me COs for either case.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

BSG

what color is tactics? (I'm analysing the card breakdown so far & I remember Ellen doesn't draw Treachery but I forget what it's supposed to be)

Does Tory outrank Ellen?

I like to play someone I haven't tried before but I've been all the high-ranking politicians. DO you feel like being president, ND?

Ellen does draw Treachery; Tory doesn't (she draws Tactics). Tory does outrank Ellen in the Presidential succession. (Seriously, how does anyone not outrank Ellen?)

My weakness sucks but I hope I can make use of my ability to make up for it.

Welcome aboard, Ms Foster. Don't forget to put in youur choice of starting card draw.

May we post our starting card draws? I'd like to be able to take others draws into account.

You may, if you wish to wait to see them, know the card draws of everyone else before you.

Meanwhile, I have COs from ND for his character choice too. Please welcome Admiral William Adama to lead the crew of Galactica. He would like to let you all know that if you don't all sit down quietly and stop poking your little sister, he'll turn this entire fleet around, just see if he won't. Anyone want to say that he's not the boss of them? Let's find out. Loyalty cards are going out. Once everyone puts in their choice of starting draw, we'll be ready to get underway.

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

BSG (Ellen)

Seriously, we let ND be Admiral? HE'S A CYLON. DUH.

Laga, Tory was my second choice. She seems interesting to play; I may choose her next game.

As for me, the Right Dishonorable Next-in-Succession Ellen Tigh, I choose to draw 3 Treachery.

What, what, you guys can't take a joke?? Geez, you people. I draw 2 Yellow and 1 Green.
