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

I'm in, and I'd be up for Conflicted Loyalties. I forget how that works. I guess our loyalties will be conflicted.

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

Here's what I'd written before:

Conflicted Loyalties: Some "You are not a Cylon" loyalty cards now carry an extra sting. You might have a Personal Goal that sees you working against the crew (or else risk a resource). Or, you might be one of the Final Five, and if anyone else finds out, Bad Things Happen. This is an easy expansion to include, but it's biased towards the Cylons.

I'll play and Conflicted Loyalties sounds like fun.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

I'm going to sit this one out. New home ownership will be absorbing my attention. (crosses fingers that closing on the condo actually happens!!)

I'll play if Conflicted Loyalties gets in. I vote against New Caprica, too.

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

I can play! Conflicted loyalties sounds like fun. I'm happy to leave New Caprica out.

Thrive to spite them

I really didn't want to play a pilot but PC had said something about how there should be another pilot, and so I went with it.

I struggled with the whole piloting thing and I wasn't sure what to do at times, but it didn't turn out all that bad.

Turned out well for you guys, eh?

My opinion, Apollo's a good choice to play, but you didn't need a second pilot. New Caprica makes pilots less important anyway. They have nothing to do on New Caprica, and you'll notice that even after Galactica returned, you never got back into a viper. On the way too, it doesn't matter so much if you lose a few civvies. (On the other side, Kat isn't that bad a pilot. Her weakness matters rarely, and if it does, there'll be plenty of time to get her back out of Sickbay.)

You've played a support character and a pilot so far. Next time, you can try a military leader or a politician if you like. The military leaders are generally the easiest to play, I think.

Looks like New Caprica will be out, and Conflicted Loyalties will be in. We still have up to three slots for old, new or returning players. Who else would like to play?
