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

Okay fine. How did I do?

I'd join up!

Actually, I think the announcement probably does have a better impact from a player. So thanks for that.

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

So many puns were made!

I think I want to be Tory next game, but Laga used up all the good Tory puns.

I think I'm going to sit this one out. I'll jump back in when I feel my (*ahem*) batteries recharged. Or maybe if you go for Cylon Leaders.....

Cylon leaders could be an option, depending on the number of players we get. With five players I'd say no. With six players it would work, though I'd recommend getting comfortable with New Caprica before introducing further complications. If we have seven people interested, however, then we'd need one to be a Cylon leader for it to work.

We currently have five people for the next game: NoiseDesign, Polter-Cow, Liese S., Laga and -t. I have my exam today, which means we can start thereafter. (If any lurkers would like to give it a try, we still have a vacant seat.) We'll be heading to New Caprica again. You can all start thinking about which character you'd like this time round; you can send me COs too if you like (don't forget sstarting draw), though feel free to wait and see the player order at least.

It's time to get the next flight of the Buffistica underway, and this one goes up to 11! this will be a five-player game (but there's still time for a sixth player to join up) heading to New Caprica. I've sent out the relevant information to the players, along with a few minor issues on which to vote. that means it's now time for character selection. Please welcome the crew of BSG 11, in turn order:

Liese S.
Laga
Polter-Cow
-t
NoiseDesign

Liese, you get first pick for your character choice, and the field is wide open. Everyone else, you can if you wish send me COs for your choice. Standard rules apply, so not all categories may be open when it comes to your turn. Don't forget your starting draw of three cards too. You can post it or send me a CO.

Happy hunting!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Hadn't thought about the way New Caprica changes how Team Human should treat Civvies. In the base game you try to protect them at all costs. Weird to have to get some of them blown up strategically to increase your chances of winning with New Caprica.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha, so I still can't XO Laga the whole game, sorry, Laga, it's not personal!

Kalshane, you should join the game!

I pick Lee (Apollo) Adama. I am bursting with machismo and the need to prove myself to my father, and possibly a few lovers along the way. You may question my judgment, but don't question my piloting skills, because I am a badass.

And in the later stages of the game, with donuts. Fat suit ahoy!

Laga is up next. Laga, you may select any character except a pilot. A reminder to all players except Liese to post or CO your starting draw along with your character choice. (In addition, the other players can feel free to send me COs for their character choice.)

Mmm donuts.
