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

We now have our full crew! The fleet finds itself under the able leadership of President Roslin and Admiral Tigh. I'll send out loyalty cards shortly. A reminder to anyone who hasn't submitted their starting draw to do so. You can if you wish give me COs dependent on your starting loyalty (or agenda, for Six).

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

BSG (Starbuck)

All right! Anyone have any thoughts on opening gambit? I figure launching and shooting at raiders is always fun, but if I draw an XO could we put it to good use?

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

Starbuck, you should launch for sure to take advantage of your ability. You can still use an XO. Am I in Comms? I could do Comms things.

Hm, it seems that Comms would involve moving the civvies toward the Raiders, even though they'd be protected. Still, the RSVs are there to stop the Raiders from advancing.
