Ok! All the files are ready, and we are good to go with character selection. A couple of notes:
I recommend with the Cylon Fleet, that you have at least two people with Piloting skills. If you don't that's still workable, but it'll probably go easier with piloting backup.
We have six players, which means we can have a Cylon leader (limit of one). There are three options: Cavil, Leoben and Caprica Six. A Cylon leader gets a secret agenda instead of loyalty cards. It tells them which team they support, and another condition they need to fulfil as well in order to win. If you'd like to play a Cylon leader, you can choose on as your character choice, or in your COs. If no one else has picked one yet, then you'll get one.
If no one chooses a Cylon leader, then we will play a six-player game using the No Sympathiser rules (lower starting resources, revealed Cylons draw three cards instead of two).
Here is our player order:
Laga
-t
askye
chrismg
Polter-Cow
Liese S.
Laga is up first. Everyone else, you can send me COs for your character choice. Everyone except Laga also gets a starting draw of three skill cards, from their regular draw. You can also send me COs for your card draw. Happy hunting!

My turn? I'll be
Ellen Tigh
and I'll take
2Y and 1G
to start.
I think this is the first game I've played where P-C isn't either right before or right after me. Disorienting.
BSG
I'm going back to
Cally
and I'll take
1B, 1Y, 1P
Yay!
I will make note here that I am in my summer fundraising trip, so there will definitely be days when I am slow to respond, at least through the next three weeks or so. I should always be able to check in daily or more, but for conversations, I might lag a little as we get started here. I will do my best to be prompt. If that's a problem for anyone, I can step out now and catch the next game.
BSG
chrismg is next. You can take a military leader, a Cylo leader or a support character (aside from Cally).
Which category does
Gaeta
fall into?
Eh, I'll take him either way.
BSG
I choose
Caprica Six
and
draw 1G/1B.
Looks like it's going to be a wild ride, kiddoes.
BSG
P-C playing Boomer? Should we just throw her out the airlock now?
Also, Felix will take
1P/1B/1Y.
