Zoe: Yeah? Thought you'd get land crazy that long in port. Wash: Probably, but I've been sane a long while now, and change is good.

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

BSG

Ooh this is exciting. It was surprisingly hard to choose from all the characters and I was uncertain which ones I haven't played yet. However, I'm pretty sure I've never played Cally because I don't recall ever having the power to shoot someone in the face! So please welcome aboard Callandra “Cally” Tyrol.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

BSG

Yay, we're off! I will play Roslin so all y'all can give me headaches the whole frakking time.

I'm a little sad we don't have a Cylon leader this turn. Quick, recruit somebody!

Thrive to spite them

BSG

I'm a little sad there's no Cylon leader. I'll go for something different and pick the Old Man - William Adama.

I too am a little sad.

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

BSG

I was going to be a Cylon Leader!

It looks like we don't have a Pilot, but I've played a lot of Pilots. Perhaps I will save Anders for another time and go with Chief Tyrol.

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

BSG

-t is last to pick. -t, you may choose a pilot or Dee. Everyone except Laga, don't forget to post or send me your choice of starting draw of three cards (taken from your regular card draw). You may make it conditional on your loyalty, as you technically see that first. (If you choose to do so, I suggest you send me COs rather than posting them in-thread.)

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

BSG

Couple of Tyrols, eh? I guess I'd best be a pilot, then. I don't think I've played Apollo before, this seems like a good opportunity.

And I'll take two Red and one Purple for my draw.

One of each, please.

BSG

We have our crew! Starting loyalty cards will be going out. I need two more pieces of information:

1. Adama's starting draw (three cards from 3G/2P)
2. Apollo's starting position. Apollo, you may start in either Sector 5 or Sector 6.

You have played Cally once before, in game 11. However, you didn't get to shoot anyone IN THE FACE. You did get to activate the Airlock on Dee, which seems strangely hands-off for everyone's favourite homicidal maniac; and you managed to get executed yourself.

According to my records, the only characters you haven't yet chosen are: Apollo, Dee, Ellen and Roslin. That makes you the only person in this game never to have chosen Apollo.
