I think billytea has said that we're not REALLY toasters more often than other people, but that's somehow the perception.

I think I am a statistical anomaly at this point.

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

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 the stats breakdown: so far, 3/8 (37.5%) of all characters over all games have been Cylons. ND, however, has been a Cylon in 60% of his games, making him the chromiest of us all. (Barring Random McNasty, who played in only the first game and has a 100% toaster rate; and Sean K, who played in the first three games and was a Cylon twice.) Next, strictly speaking, is me - I've played two games and was a Cylon once. Then it's P-C (5 games out of 11), then Liese (4 games out of 9). On the other side of the spectrum, Laga's only been a Cylon 4 times out of 15 games. askye's been a Cylon just once from five games. But the most human of all, the anti ND if you will, is omnis, with just one adventure in chrome from seven games. And he had to pick Gaius Baltar for it to happen.

We're up to five people so far (P-C, NoiseDesign, Laga, chrismg and omnis). We can accommodate up to two more players. It sounds like we'll be giving the Ionian Nebula a try this time around. I think chrismg's suggestion is a good one. Not only would Conflicted Loyalties add more complications, it's also pro-Cylon. The Ionian Nebula will be tough enough on its own.
We still have a few days before we start. I recommend taking that opportunity to read the Ionian Nebula rules section in the Exodus rulebook. It's available online here: [link] Ionian Nebula is covered in pages 16-21.

I was looking over it yesterday. It seems a bit complicated to keep track of the trauma, and I'm still not entirely sure how Allies work (can they be ANY character in the game? I thought it was just Cottle and a couple others), but I'm sure we'll get the hang of it. Basic idea seem to be DON'T GET TRAUMA.

There are 35 Allies in the game, including all the available player characters. Those characters actually taken by the players are not eligible to be Allies too, of course.
