To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Players are beginning to claim their first items in SCAVENGER HUNT ON INFINITE EARTHS!

Terribly amused that the Smush-faced wax lion went first, followed in short order by the Flying Ford Anglia, the lost papers of Nikola Tesla and the Necronomicon. More to come, but I'm already terribly excited to see the stories. And there's still room to jump in!

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

Status update on the next game (Buffistica 15 - The Admiral's Jodhpurs): we have five players confirmed. Waiting to hear from the last couple of invitees, and then we'll be on our way.

We have our crew! This will be a six-player game, heading to Kobol. We will use the Conflicted Loyalties and Cylon Fleet modules once again. As we have six players, we may have a Cylon leader (if any of the crew wish to play one). If no one wants to take that option, we will instead use the official No Sympathiser variant.

Files are going out to our crew now; and this crew is, in order of character selection:

Polter-Cow
-t
Liese S.
Laga
omnis
askye

P-C, you have first choice of crew member for this game. When you're ready, please post your choice. For public interest, I've tabulated the popularity of all the characters over the 14 games so far:

Apollo: 6 games
Boomer: 6 games
Helo: 6 games
Cally: 5 games
Gaeta: 5 games
Starbuck: 5 games
Adama: 4 games
Baltar: 4 games
Chief: 4 games
Tigh: 4 games
Tory: 4 games
Zarek: 4 games
Anders: 3 games
Dee: 3 games
Ellen: 3 games
Roslin: 3 games
Cain: 2 games
Kat: 2 games

(While I think of it too, if anyone has COs for their character selection, you can send them to me while P-C chooses his character.)

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

I think it's about time I get to play Cally "I'll shoot you in the face if you look at me funny" Tyrol.

-t has left COs for her character selection, and chooses Leoben. Liese is up next. Liese, you may choose anyone except a Cylon leader (or Cally).

While I think of it too, everyone except P-C, you can also send me COs for your starting card draw.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hmm, I think I'll go with Please Don't Shoot Me In The Face First Round This Time Apollo.

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

What are my restrictions?

Anyone but a Cylon Leader or a Pilot.
